US weapons still at work in Gaza. Meanwhile, the US Secretary of State—who supervises US arms sales and could halt transfers at any time—is instead fixated on repressing criticism of US policy on Gaza. www.haaretz.com/opinion/edit...

I dunno about you, but two really old rich men babbling about dolls is really creepy.

Good, he should actually be in prison for illegally accessing sensitive data and personal info. I hope he’s shamed and shunned forever. FAFO.

Goldman: "The notion that bc he won an election that he should be able to ignore the Constitution or violate our laws is preposterous. Every president wins an election. That does not mean they get to just make up whatever laws they want ... Donald Trump does not get to decide what the law is."

some people go on vacations to sightsee and go on beautiful hikes but nancy mace flies around the country looking at bathrooms

The Oval Office now looks like a whorehouse in an old western movie...one made in the USA, of course.

"Think of how much money we are making by letting our soybeans rot instead of selling them to China. We are going to be so rich!"

JD Vance broke the National Championship trophy, then visited the Pope who died the next day, then visited India and a terrorist attack happened and war broke out, then endorsed his brother for mayor who lost 83-11%. What’s next on the agenda?

Josh Divine, Trump’s nominee to a federal court in Missouri, once bragged about securing multiple injunctions against Biden’s student loan program. But now that courts are issuing injunctions against Trump, he suggests that judges can’t enjoin the president. I wonder why his views changed!

LOCK HIM UP!!

This needs to be posted and reposted!!

When you realize the tacky Versailles-wannabe trash on the fireplace is just Chinese polyurethane spray painted gold.

Our democracy’s survival may well depend on government dudes with guns questioning illegal orders. Military, police, Homeland Security, Marshals, all of them. Honor the oath, not the authoritarians.

"If you look....they drew an artificial line right through it"

We finally have a lean federal government that does nothing except funneling money to the president and litigating his personal grievances

The masked ICE agents are in DC today, as rumored, whisking people off the street while covering their faces completely.

The Lincoln Project just dropped another hammer on the GOP’s fascist flank—and they’re right. If you trample the Constitution, shred due process, and treat humans like pawns, you’re the *lawless* one. Actions have consequences. The law *is* the law. @lincolnproject.us

Be a shame if the American people discovered this...

Watching Kristi Noem's face as Democratic House Rep. Lauren Underwood absolutely torched her on the Constitution in the House Oversight Committee hearing was amazing. Bravo, Lauren!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

You’re not imagining things. Oil is down 30% since inauguration week. “Retail gasoline prices, meanwhile, have risen slightly.” ⛽️ - Brusuelas

I don't think it's that the Founders didn't anticipate an actual criminal being elected. That's exactly what the checks and balances are for. What they didn't anticipate is an entire Congress and Judiciary going along with all the crimes. Unanticipated.

"Out good each other" What a brilliant and beautiful idea! And all donated money that exceeds the goal target gets donated to local charities. Just imagine if all campaigns were run this way.

Do they work between Fox appearances, preparing for Fox appearances, and tweeting about Fox appearances?

Your School House Rock moment......

Once upon a time in America we rid ourselves of a king who Cut off foreign trade Imposed taxes without representation Deprived us of jury trials Imprisoned people overseas based solely on accusation Overthrowing kings is our duty! It’s in our country’s DNA. Show up June 14th! #DemVoice1

Hell Yes!!

The Trump family's crypto business just got a huge $2 billion investment from a UAE government-backed firm. We are witnessing a foreign government effectively bribe the President of the United States — right out in the open. Hello?

TeleMessage is the app National Security Advisor Mike Waltz was using, along with JD Vance, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Feel safe?

Hey! Press covering Trump! The statute that lets him impose tariffs at will? It EXPLICITLY excludes movies. He has no authority to do this. Not just bc of an absence of authorization, but bc the law says “you CANNOT do this.” Do NOT say “Trump has imposed movie tariffs,” bc he did not. He CANNOT.

💙Like & ♻️repost so everyone can find this! We will flood Bluesky with some Obama positivity rather than acknowledging 🍊💩 birthday. Pass it on! 🌸🩵🫶🩵🌸 #obama2028 #strongertogether #resist #BlueCrew

Sadly we need to see this happen

Nevada Governor and BLM Sign Agreement to Release Federal Lands for DEVELOPMENT There's a powerful cry of anguish and a call to action here about the massive theft of public lands that are underway. 1/4 morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/nevada-gov...

Drowning in hypocrisy

So do Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger

Shooting films in foreign countries is a “national security threat”?!? He is certifiable. And astonishingly stupid.

www.motherjones.com/politics/202... Trump’s Rookie Moves Have Created Loads of Uncertainty—Even for Big Oil “Lawyers are going to have a field day with this.”

Donald Trump's memecoin is the equivalent of posting his Venmo on the internet. Corruption in it's most obvious form. We need accountability.

Recently, Trump once again proved how HORRIFICALLY UNFIT he is to be President, making it clear he never READ the Declaration of Independence &HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT! He said its, "A declaration of unity & love & respect & it means a lot & it's something very special to our country."
