This is real leadership and regard for others, from the son of an immigrant. Then Mayor Pete Buttigieg in 2019, addressing the Muslim community in his hometown after the New Zealand attack. “you are not only exercising a right but also bearing a gift”

Goldman: "The idea of focusing on President Biden is a way of distracting from Donald Trump's efforts to completely undermine our democracy, to grift and engage in corruption, and to help out his billionaire buddies by cutting their taxes while taking Medicaid away from the American people."

For Reals

Best 47,000$ spent in a war ever.

You'll have to read it in ALL CAPS JVL voice. Or Cletus voice. ymmv.

@seckennedy.govpeeps.us

Speaker Johnson keeps lying, telling Americans the GOP is "not cutting Medicaid." While Joni Ernst is flat-out telling her constituents that "we're all going to die" anyway.

"If Crater Lake were fully staffed this summer, it would have eight park rangers, said a current park employee who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation. Instead, it has three...." www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

"Reducing the operating budget by $900 million, as the Trump administration wants to do, would require closing 350 of the 433 parks, monuments, historic sites and other locations overseen by the Park Service..." (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/o...

It’s absolutely despicable.

Why aren’t Dems on everything talking about the Joni Ernst “you can die” bill?

Trump voters are surprised he’s deporting people they like and not just criminals. But they shouldn’t be.

This... does not feel like an accident. Ali Abbasi's Trump biopic "The Apprentice" won best movie at the Canadian Screen Awards in Toronto last night. "Ali, I told you, you have to come to Canada if you want to find some guts in this industry." www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

New GOP slogan just dropped.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social on Joni Ernst: "She must be having a nervous breakdown."

This explains why a Fox News viewer I spoke to over the weekend thinks that Joe Biden is the most corrupt President ever, and doesn’t know a single thing about Trump’s blatantly corrupt activities around crypto, pardons, etc.
