"Finding willing rabbis, however, was easy—the challenge was finding ones who were 'psychedelically naïve.'” 😂 www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Trump - your kids can live with fewer toys and dolls. Trump Cabinet Member - fewer, more expensive toys is the sacrifice you have to make to make things better. Trump - why should I use a perfectly good plane when I can accept a bribe from a regime that supports terrorists.

@mlb.com is once again showing why they are the worst run league in professional sports. Cowardly, stupid, and led by fools. #BanPeteRose

The first Chicago Pope.

For the record, the last 8 1/2 minutes of the Bulwark Podcast with @timmiller.bsky.social and @jvl.bsky.social is pure gold. Pure F'in Gold.

The announcement of the new Pope will be delayed because the GOP is claiming ballot fraud and plans on filing suit with the Supreme Court. Thomas and Alito have already voted with the GOP even though nothing has been submitted yet.

Habemus papam!

The main reason I don't have life insurance. As soon as you start shopping for it, you get bombarded with dozens (if not hundreds) of emails, calls, and texts. I hate it!

Not sure I ever thought I would say this, but Go Harvard! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/u...

I just met with the Vice President of El Salvador as we fight for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I’m speaking to the press now with the latest on our efforts. Tune in here:

I thought Trump was a master negotiator. He can't even get 1 person back, that he sent and is paying for. Sounds like he is nothing but a weak loser.

Today we celebrate #JackieRobinson. Trump and his supporters don’t want you to know about him. Heck, some of them still wish he hadn’t been allowed to play in #MLB.

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

Someone on CNBC said Trump is doing this and is fine with younger people being able to buy into a cheaper market and letting those who made money suffer. She actually said "redistribution of wealth". Good God we are in a stupid time.

Golf is also more important than cratering the American economy.

Have we officially entered the "find out" era of the current FAFO administration?

Watching crazy Peter Navarro on CNBC. Props to the hosts because they see him as a crazy, lying loon and somehow stop from laughing outright. I see them shaking their head a lot. He doesn't even believe or know what he is saying.

Can't wait for the "look, gas prices went down!" crowd to praise Trump without even realizing that is because no one can afford cars anymore.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social - how close are we to that 32% approval rating?

Trump's vision of making America great again.

I give up. Democracy is over (as is America). The people who wanted selfishness, superficiality, and cruelty win. Been fun, but I'll just ride out the days/years until God calls me home trying to live under the radar.

“The White House is in denial that this was not classified or sensitive data,” said Rep. Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican and former Air Force general. “They should just own up to it and preserve credibility.” Not in denial - they don't care and know they can get you to bend the knee.

This isn't a political statement - I already make plenty of those. I cannot believe how ugly Cybertrucks are. I mean, just plain awful to look at.
