Only the best... (sarcastic)

Benson: I mean, everywhere I go in Michigan, it’s clear that these reckless tariffs and the confusing economic policies of this administration have only driven up the cost of living in the state and made things more uncertain for so many people.

As expected, the oval office trade announcement has now devolved into an absolute orange ass sucking spectacle. Little news or economically impressive facts. Just another opportunity to stroke our fuhrers' massive ego. I'm so happy to watch the market not reacting to its empty content.

🚨 NEW: President @JoeBiden on the new American Pontiff, Pope Leo: "I think he's great. I think he's a good friend of Pope Francis. And, you know, I think he's going to keep moving the church in the direction of being more ecumenical and reaching out and I think that's all good." ♥️

There are really no words for the colossal stupidity of The Dictator’s nomination of election denier/Jan 6th liar Jeannine Pirro to be US Attorney for Washington DC. I think I’m going to vomit. She cannot be confirmed.

The autopsy notes two bullet wounds even though there were three shooters, and a forensic expert says the misfires likely caused "excruciating conscious pain and suffering."

Here’s @GovBillLee backing the @TNHighwayPatrol + ICE raids, peddling the line that they’re grabbing violent criminals — yet they provide no specifics to back it up, and we all know innocent people are being grabbed for no reason. www.instagram.com/reel/DJZOTz5...

Voting Rights Victory in Alabama! ACLU: “BIRMINGHAM, AL – A federal court has ruled after a full trial that Alabama’s 2023 congressional map not only violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, but was enacted by the Alabama Legislature with racially discriminatory intent. 🧵1/3

You can f*ck all the way off you hateful blowhard and if you voted for him you can f*ck off too. #WTFAmerica #HandsOff #HateMonger #Homophobe #WeAreSoScrewed

Gallego: I’ve certainly seen a reversal—mostly among Latino men. I would say it started about three to four weeks ago. It’s really a combination of factors: they’re deporting people who aren’t criminals, they’re separating families… The economy is the other big factor pushing these guys away…

The new pope's brother: “I know he’s not happy with what’s going on with immigration. I know that for a fact. How far he’ll go with it is only one’s guess, but he won’t just sit back. I don’t think he’ll be the silent one.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/w...

Proud to have this new article out as part of the @nursingclio.bsky.social response to RFKs policies. This is the first piece from a much larger project I’m just starting but more importantly, wellness camps are bad. nursingclio.org/2025/05/08/r...

The GOP budget plan kicks 5.5 million off Medicaid—and 2.4 million will be left with no health insurance at all. This isn’t belt-tightening. It’s a death sentence dressed up as “fiscal responsibility.” #MomsForMedicaid

h/t @clayberg248.bsky.social The Food Box Scammer has a new grift. @thelolo.bsky.social knows I had a thread. LOL! www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Trump, the illiterate moron fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden. I have transcribed documents for the Library of Congress for 6 1/2 years. I did not know her personally but she is one of the most accomplished, professional people I ever worked with. Trump is vile & must go.

It’s hilarious how the WH is in such a frantic hurry to announce the outlines of a framework of a deal. They wreak of desperation.

Nothing sums up the current Congress better than the House spending its time voting on a bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico.

One’s turning heads, the other’s just turning orange. 🍊✨

My comment on the US & UK agreeing to further discuss trade: The U.S.-UK trade agreement that isn’t | The Real Economy Blog #Econ #EconSky realeconomy.rsmus.com/the-u-s-uk-t...

imagine being a full grown adult, serious person in media or politics, and feeling compelled to pretend that it's really important & meaningful thing when absolute moron who started trade war with 90+ countries concludes outline of possible deal that (1) not real, (2) does nothing (3) not executable

Who would have imagined that it would be controversial to say that we shouldn’t hero worship any politician

MURPHY: You've read the SCOTUS decision. Does it not require you to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia? NOEM: The Trump admin is complying with all court orders M: You're a defendant in the case!... the discussion ends when SCOTUS rules 9-0... that is incredibly chilling for balance of powers

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Alabama's 2023 congressional map discriminates against Black voters in violation of the Voting Rights Act and Constitution. This is a win for voting rights.

Gestapo impersonating immigration officers.......

🚨BREAKING: Three judge panel with 2 Trump appointees STRIKES DOWN Alabama congressional map for violating Constitution and VRA. Court finds Alabama INTENTIONALLY discriminated against Black voters. Proud of ELG team and our clients in this historic fight! www.democracydocket.com/cases/alabam...

New Pope has a Twitter account and this was the last thing he sent

Fuck no Christian nationalist Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers (R) and state Rep. Jim Olsen(R) have filed a resolution asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/05/okla...

The new Pope, retweeting Senator Chris Murphy, in support of gun control

This is an absolute disgrace. apnews.com/article/dona...

The new Surgeon General nominee never finished her residency and doesn't have an active medical license.

Supreme Court .....DO YOUR FRIGGIN JOB so lower courts dont have to do it all the time.......Great Job Judge Murphy.....👏👏👏

So yesterday acting FEMA chief said he wouldn't personally want to eliminate FEMA but it was up to the President and Congress. Today he's gone. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Bill Gates says he will donate 99% of his remaining tech fortune to the Gates Foundation. He also announced the foundation will now close in 2045, earlier than previously planned.

The disrespect for Congress and the law is glaring - and for our nation a threat to our public safety.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley: "I cannot hear the words you say because I see the things that you do."

Thats EXACTLY what you look like to the rest of the world!

What they thought was going to be a meeting to discuss bringing back workers to the idle mill turned into unexpected news of an indefinite delay for the project. www.wtrf.com/news/devasta...

Sen. Chris Murphy on gun violence. Note: His speech was great and 17 minutes long. I had to edit it down to some key points to make it less than 3 minutes.

Trump reduced British auto tariffs to benefit luxury carmakers like Rolls Royce. Meanwhile, the costs of essential goods like strollers, medications, and clothing are skyrocketing. So the rest of America has to go without but he's happy to help his rich friends buy luxury cars?

The acting administrator of FEMA has been fired one day after he broke with fellow members of the administration when he told lawmakers he does not support dismantling the agency.

If Ivanka Trump's goal is to expand Americans' access to fresh produce while boosting American farmers, she's going to have to have an awkward talk with her father.
