Apparently Marge didn’t read the bill before she voted for it.

People so often overlook the importance of good penmanship.

A radical transformation of our way of life is underway. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking this administration is normal.

Ukraine could’ve launched the attack on civilian population centers, like Russia does to them daily. Instead, they chose a strictly military target - the very bombers being used to kill Ukrainian civilians. A brilliant operation solely designed to defend their own people.

“One idea that’s been discussed is possibly creating a video version of the PDB that’s made to look and feel like a Fox News broadcast.” 🤣😂😅 Gabbard considering ways to revamp Trump's intelligence briefing www.cnbc.com/2025/05/31/g...

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

"Let cash registers ring!"

Not today, Satan.

U.S. intel agencies are building a centralized portal to buy Americans’ personal data—no warrant needed. Location, browsing, even politics. Congress failed to stop it. Privacy is being sold off in bulk, and civil liberties are on the line. #PrivacyRights theintercept.com/2025/05/22/i...

‘They say, We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning.’ —Archibald MacLeish Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day, we can consider our own duty to strive so that our lives and our country are worthy of the price they paid.

Never forget

Never easy to watch a marriage fail

In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

I can’t even with this guy.

Ugly, ugly stuff. They're collapsing the Department of Veterans Affairs and the largest integrated healthcare system in America.

We make jokes about this sometimes because it’s laughable. But when journalists try to make sense of the nonsensical, rational out of the irrational, and coherence out of the incoherence, they affirmatively do the public interest great harm.

Ever since “Russia if you’re listening” corruption and criming out in the open is still corruption and criming

Putin couldn’t have dreamed up a better outcome, alienate our allies, gut federal institutions, fire qualified generals, wreck national security with drunk incompetent fools at the top, tank the economy and $ with tariff wars… all in just 4 months. And here we are. Coincidence?

The Wall Street Journal had a piece last night that the Judicial Conference of the United States — the policy making body for the federal judiciary — is discussing whether the Judiciary should have its own armed security force rather than rely on the U.S. Marshals for federal judges’ protection.

EU was likely just informed that tariffs will now be lifted in exchange for $1B purchase of Trump crypto, a tribute documentary to Melania’s mom with a Cannes prize, the Nobel Peace Prize, and a Trump Power Paris. Don’t worry, MAGA. He does it all for you because he loves you.

Curious how this post omits the words “Russia” and “Putin.”

“We want those names and countries.” Trump escalates his attacks on Harvard and foreign students, ensuring a brain drain in the U.S. in the years ahead. MAGA

This hits hard.

NEW: All Texas public elementary or secondary schools “must display in a conspicuous place in each classroom of the school a durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments.” Bring on the lawsuits!! www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

This fake-Christian twerp is such a shameless liar.

lol Trump now says his new tariffs against the EU are delayed until July 9

I am seeing a lot of people posting about this anti-democracy provision of the GOP budget bill. Here is Democracy Docket’s coverage from last Thursday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

These words and actions send a clarion message of impunity to people considering political violence.

“In the past four months, the lower courts have done more than other government entities to respond to the chaos emanating from the Trump administration. . . .The Supreme Court, by contrast, has undermined lower courts seeking to protect the rule of law.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/o...

It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.

Sen. Ossoff: Who out there in the American public is sitting at home demanding that we shut down cancer research and Alzheimer's research?

"Security committee members [of the Judicial Conference, a policymaking body for the federal judiciary] worried that Trump could order the marshals to stand down in retaliation for a decision that didn’t go his way." A real statement about the President in 2025. Why democracy is in grave danger.

Fumbling towards autocracy: "The budget bill provision “appears meant to spare the federal government any legal consequences for even deliberate, continuing and belligerent defiance of court orders,” wrote Walter Olson, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute."

Could not be more clear what's happening here

Academic freedom in the United States has found itself periodically under siege, but the current attacks from the federal government raise a new level of alarm. nyer.cm/u405qvQ

I've resigned from the jury for the duPont-Columbia Journalism Awards in response to Columbia's capitulation to Trump. www.poynter.org/commentary/2...

Trump could have spoken about this yesterday to West Point grads - what better place? But instead he talked to them about rich old men getting trophy wives.

Exclusive: Some federal judges are weighing taking control of their own security, worried that President Trump could order U.S. marshals to stand down in retaliation for a decision that didn’t go his way.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is using his position as a powerful public official to promote Christian nationalism — attempting to tie government to evangelical Christianity. Hegseth has thus begun his “holy mission” by seizing control of the Pentagon to hold Christian prayer services —…

Watching this morally bankrupt buffoon addressing West Point graduates with unintelligible word salads and rambling rhetoric on Memorial Day Weekend, was enough to make any actually Patriotic American sick to their stomachs. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

TAPPER: I have a hard time thinking that if a D president held a dinner for investors in his cryptocurrency, you wouldn't be outraged MIKE JOHNSON: Look, I don't know anything about the dinner. I was a little busy this past week, so I'm not going to comment on something I haven't even heard about

Himes: "It was like 1984 or something listening to the Speaker."

MIKE JOHNSON: We are not cutting Medicaid in this package. TAPPER: 1.4m people in Louisiana are on Medicaid. Is it your contention that if any of them lose benefits, it's bc they shouldn't have been receiving them? J: Yeah. Every district in America has people who are on the program who shouldn't.
