If Donald Trump were the leader of our nation, instead of an incompetent, selfish, venal, word-that-start-with-a-C (and I don't mean Christian), he'd be more worried about jets we already own flipping into the sea than getting his grubby, tiny paws on a $400 million jet being offered as a bribe.

Thanks, @fangoria.com

Happy 75th Birthday, Stevie Wonder. 🎉 To celebrate, here is a list of the soul visionary's best 50 songs

Let’s set aside that Pam Bondi used to rake in $115K a month from Qatar, and now says that “flying grift” is totally fine. On its face, this jet makes no sense as Air Force One. Hear me out: There’s supposed to be two identical Air Force One jets…

Duffy: "By the way, during covid, when people weren't flying, that was a perfect time to fix these problems." (Who wants to tell him ... )

The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

Duffy: "I don't want to give you a date because you're gonna hold me to it."

Duffy: "If you buy a used car, you drive it home, and you go to bed, wake up the next morning and drive to the store and it breaks down, is it your fault or did the guy you bought it from sell you a lemon? ... the fact the last administration did nothing should be reported."

Sean Duffy be like

Bessent on CNBC indicates that Trump's new trade deal with China is likely to be just be a warmed over version of the same one Trump agreed to in January 2020

REPORTER: Has Qatar asked for anything in exchange for that $400 million luxury jumbo jet, & how can the American people be so sure that they will not in the future? TRUMP: I think what happens with the plane is that we're very disappointed that it's taking Boeing so long to build a new Air Force 1

Rep. Dan Goldman calls out Pam Bondi for stonewalling the release of the Epstein files: Was this some sort of directive from Trump or an agent of his to the Attorney General to stop this?

Trump on getting a free luxury plane from Qatar: "I would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer."

So smart letting DOGE fire all those FAA employees, including air traffic controllers. Idiots! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/11/n...

Laura Loomer not thrilled about Swamp Force One ✈️

The Trump HHS approach to transgender youth is not "greater emphasis on psychtherapy." It is "ONLY psychotherapy," with the explicit goal of making trans youth no longer transgender. It IS conversion therapy. Washington post is an absolute right wing rag at this point.

happy mother's day

Lutnick on his message to dockworkers who are out of work: "You should be very optimistic and positive, because the president truthed it out, and I rely on the president."

AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.

WATCH: @davidhogg.bsky.social calls out the obviously corrupt incentive structure of private prisons making huge profits off detaining migrants as they fund (Republican) politicians… which @repmikelawler impotently tries to defend.

Ice needs to be abolished

My love of reading is strongly link to this man…

That time in 1988 Sesame Street ripped on Donald Trump

You MUST watch this exchange from today’s Tx House debate on anti-library HB3225. “This is about your desire to make sure that children have access to sexually explicit materials,” says the bill’s author. “Rep Alders, do you know what I have done for a living?” Says @voteannjohnson.bsky.social

[Thread] The Andor Season 2 (April 22) fest I had made a huge production thread about Andor on Twitter, several hundred posts over several years. Because the people who make Andor (and showrunner Tony Gulroy in particular) often have interesting things to say. So I'm picking up the thread here. 🤟

Here are my top 10 German Shepherds of all time!

ICE raid in Great Barrington, Ma. Once again women leading the resistance. Thank you to all our Resister Sisters fighting to help save our country.

Yeehaw. See ya December 12-14 in Fort Worth! animefrontier.com/badges

MAGA thinks Dems upset about the Trump admin suspending the writ of habeas corpus (which is essentially declaring martial law) is a self-own since Lincoln did it during the Civil War. Yes, it was designed for things like a Civil War. Not for judicial decisions you disagree with.

Days before she was fired by the Trump administration, Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, the first woman (since the 1800s) and first African American to hold the job, spoke out about the danger of disappearing history and preserving Black history. loom.ly/0M0b1B0

There is no bottom! Trump fired Carla Hayden, the first African American and first woman to serve as the 14th librarian of Congress since 2016. Hayden was fired in a two sentence email. No reason was given. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/u...

Just remembering how Erick Erickson called Justice Souter a “goat fucking child molester.” Just a reminder that Trumpists were freaks decades before Trump came down the escalator.

The CDC updated the numbers of measles cases in the country on Friday. Here's what they say and what it means for public health in the U.S.

Prosecutors say that as news of the crime spread, the two men exchanged messages relishing the outrage and sadness they caused. The tree in northern England was believed to be about 200 years old.

Paul Krugman out here spitting one of the most facty of facts of Trump II:

Trump’s one and only “big (trade) deal” with the U.K.: Concepts of a deal. Trump still thinks he can play us!

This is the best way to get appointed to a senior position in the US government when Trump is president.

Most Americans balk at the idea of charging women who get abortions with homicide, but post-Roe, militant anti-abortion activists are finding state lawmakers are increasingly open to it. By @oyousef.bsky.social

Trump’s playing “King of the World,” renaming the Persian Gulf to kiss up to the Saudis before his trip — still hasn’t brought down grocery prices though!

we were planting trees in Cleveland to reduce runoff. which is ironic considering we found this while digging and all i wanted to do WAS RUN RIGHT OFF

Liev Schreiber recalls moment trans daughter Kai, 16, asked him to use she/her pronouns: ‘Didn’t feel like that big of a deal’

The transportation secretary announced a far-reaching plan to drastically overhaul the current technology used by thousands of controllers responsible for guiding planes in and out of airports.
