Note: When right-wing activist Sean Feucht held and impromptu evening worship service in the Capitol Rotunda back in 2023, police occasionally walked in to speak with lawmakers participating, but no one was arrested. religionnews.com/2024/07/08/t...

Biden, 52%: “low end approval” Trump, 39%: proceeding “as expected”

“We will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you." This is the Trump administration’s message to judges. Judges.

I think I need to start smoking again.

It may be hard to remember that ICE making arrests in criminal courts at all was a huge scandal not long ago (and they have been restrained from doing so). I wrote this in 2017:

Wife of wrongly deported Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia forced into safe house after government posts address online

Yep. That tracks...

In case you hadn't noticed:

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Every state needs to do this ASAP

Pete hegseth always sounds like he’s arguing with the bouncer

The curse of being a Maxis fan who lives in the East Bay is seeing a building and thinking "I'm pretty sure that building is in SimCity 2000" and then being RIGHT

Good morning to everyone who agrees that we need to tax the church!

Be like her…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

one senator insisted on seeing his constituent one that’s all it took to apply pressure what the ever living fuck are the rest of y’all doing???

“this all reeks of Gender equity!” I holler as i kick over the constitution and turn the global economy into the Market of Shit

It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.

You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here. But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.

Making this argument and then hanging the entire load on TRY is fucking hilarious:

potential message: the GOP just raised taxes by $6 trillion potential message: the GOP is kidnapping and trafficking people for things they MIGHT say dem message: the GOP might be insider trading—a thing you associate nancy pelosi with—and we're sending them a nice letter asking them for evidence

"Like Amazon, but with human beings."

We’re governed by 4Chan now.

What is Joanne even mad about here, can't she get a real hobby? Would she be satisfied if we created Crotchety Old Bitch Day?

This doesn't have anything to do with the economy. It's Trump's Vengeance Tour, pure and simple.

To put it in real terms: This press conference cost the U.S. stock market somewhere in the realm of $1-2 trillion dollars.

Guess who showed up to defend Tesla? The Proud Boys, armed militias, and at one event in Idaho, and a guy dressed as Hitler. More on the "Tesla Takedown" protests here:

Do you know how bad you have to be at diplomacy to get China, South Korea, and Japan to work together? This is like Kendrick, Drake, and Kanye doing a collab on an album.

It took just two months to drive two of our closest and most important allies into China's arms.

In a world that asked us to be cruel and to close off our heart remember that it’s a good thing to have a heart that can still break.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?

My 5th grade teacher was permanently disabled by polio. He had crutches and braces. I’ll never forget him telling us how no child would have to suffer the way he did because of the miracle of the polio vaccine and modern medicine. 30 years later here we are.

This is art. 🤗

Every member of this administration should go to prison for the rest of their natural lives.

Right-wing outrage merchants love whining about trans people in Hollywood, but all it does is expose how little they understand the industry. No one hands us these jobs—we claw our way in despite every barrier thrown at us. Meanwhile, they act like we're the ones with unfair advantages.

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

'sold as slave labor to El Salvador' is I honestly think a fair way of describing it

This guy co-sponsored a bill to have "Trump Derangement Syndrome" classified as a mental illness YESTERDAY.
