Literally, every single bs talking point of magats can be debunked within a few minutes. They are complete bullshit liars. It's annoying af even trying to speak to them.

My take on the consequences of the media's "original sin." member.democracydocket.com/the-medias-o...

Public pressure works! Keep it going.

Taken hostage, against her will, is really what is happening. 🤬🤬🤬😭💔🙏🏼 We besss get busy.

ZELDIN: I understand you're an aspiring fiction writer. I see why. SCHIFF: I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water or their air. That to me is a big fiction ... you could give a rat's ass about how much cancer your agency causes

UK and Europe target Russia with major sanctions after Putin-Trump call Sanctions are aimed at entities supporting Russia’s military machine after call failed to deliver meaningful concessions www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc. And get the money out

But, but, socialism.

This is the hardest I’ve ever been owned online

I'm knackered after spending all day in the garden mowing, strimming and tidying up after all that rain. Do you hear that? That's the sound of a mojito calling my name come happy hour. Slainte Mhath!

1/ For ProPublica’s “Life of the Mother” series, winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for public service, we reported on five pregnant women who died after not receiving timely medical care in states with strict abortion bans. These are their stories 🧵

A political prisoner in other words.

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?

One thing I did appreciate was that Carney knew *exactly* how to manipulate him. “You’re a transformative president” is accurate and Tromp took it as a compliment to his genius when everyone else knew he meant “you’ve transformed the world economy into a shitshow and ruined our relationship.”

I'm a yes on all these except I'm even more progressive on health care. I think we should have direct government care instead of M4A - though M4A is a step in the right direction. My problem with M4A is it still relies on private providers and corporate third-party administrators.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Granddaughter of a Navy vet. Daughter of a Navy vet. Mother of an Army soldier. Not one damn dime should be spent on a military parade for a draft dodger…

GOP Oklahoma Senate Candidate Says U.S. Shouldn’t Be a Democracy Bryan Logan backs extreme states’ rights theories and claims Oklahoma can override federal law, raising alarm ahead of the May 13 special election meidasnews.com/news/gop-okl...

Lawyers brazenly arguing against Constitutional due process to support fraudulent government claims should be disbarred immediately. They are not litigating in good faith, nor upholding their oaths.

I feel like we've been saying this forever but it's worth saying again. Book bans do not exist in a vacuum. They're not one off events. Book bans are the canary in the coal mine. They usher in an era of censorship, fascism, violent scapegoating. Authors, join the fight: @authorsabb.bsky.social!!

We should understand this for what it is: an effort to build public consent for the president to ignore the Supreme Court. abcnews.go.com/Politics/jus...

If anyone else walked around saying they’re god, they would get committed to a mental institution not the White House.

Mitch McConnell is retiring after 40 years of working hard to make Kentucky one of the poorest, most under-educated, and unhealthy states in the US.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Saturday that U.S. President Donald Trump proposed sending American troops into Mexico to help her administration fight drug trafficking but that she rejected it.

I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages

Rubio and Vance tweeting in defense of the German far-right party, the AfD. We are in a very, very dark place.

Tuned in to Australian coverage of their election results and the first thing I heard was “What about the new seat of Bullwinkle?” And I’m hooked

Good morning to all of you who feel the same as I do when it comes to TFG.

We all must stand up every single day. "If the founding history of this country is any guide, those who stood up in court to vindicate constitutional rights and, by so doing, served to promote the rule of law, will be the models lauded when this period of American history is written." -Judge Howell

Barbara Allen, the sixth great-granddaughter of Sojourner Truth, says she’ll never forget the April 26 ceremony where the U.S. Navy christened a John Lewis-class oiler the USNS Sojourner Truth in honor of the abolitionist. www.stripes.com/branches/nav...

Achievement in every field

TRUMPISM REJECTED IN AUSTRALIA Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been re-elected as his Labor Party surged to victory and is projected to form a majority government. In a historic first, opposition leader Peter Dutton—often likened to Donald Trump—lost his own seat of Dickson.

USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has opened up 73 jobs to internal candidates. They include roles just vacated by people who are receiving full pay and benefits through September.

Indoctrination.
