Conclave Selects First Chicago-Style Pope

I'm never not gonna laugh about this.

Piers Morgan is a POS but man is this interview wild - based on the way her tone changes I don't think she realized the implications of what she said until after she said it. If you look closely you can see her realize she is absolutely cooked in real time.

This Lexington, Kentucky MayDay protest hits every note! The Republican Party doesn't exist anymore. This is fascism. #resist #protest #mayday

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

By the way, it is actually quite possible to write about Trump’s unspeakably insulting and narcissistic behavior towards the late Pope and all Catholics without sharing his infuriating picture millions of times.

This is who we are. A country where we need to build a missing persons website for all the friends & family disappeared under this administration. Please share so folks can connect. #MOMSky

Food for thought…

Jan Schakowsky, the incumbent in my race, will reportedly not seek re-election. So it seems like a good time to reintroduce myself — I’m Kat Abughazaleh and I’m running for Congress.

It turns out that the U.S. is not, as Trump claimed, collecting “$2 billion a day” as a result of his tariffs.

#SignalBoost #DOGE engineers stole 10T of data, sent it to parts unknown using #Starlink, manually disabled the security system of #NLRB systems while an IP address in Russia attempted to log in 20 times using a valid username & password created minutes earlier by the DOGE team. #EnemyWithin

This video Paige and I did explaining what happened in court today is going viral. Thank you for all the nice comments and to the thousands of new subscribers. I hope you find it useful. youtu.be/5HRmolBoM_k

1. As part of his dangerous anti-vaxx crusade, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert Kennedy Jr. spread horrific lies about autistic people by saying they “will never pay taxes. They’ll never hold a job, they’ll never play baseball. They’ll never write a poem. They’ll never go out on a date”

Trump and the Republican Party had no problem picking up the phone and asking Romania to return their dear friend and child rapist, Andrew Tate, but want us to believe they can’t do anything about Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.” (h/t @titonka.bsky.social @michelekelemen.bsky.social)

Friendly reminder that Republicans in Congress could take away Trump’s tariff power and stop the economy from crashing at any point

This new White House executive order says that the US Attorney General is going to prevent states from implementing democratically passed laws regarding climate change and clean energy. It scarcely needs stating at this point that this is wildly, unambiguously unconstitutional. Dictator shit.

The things you say when you start an economic melty and think you can just flip a switch and stop it.

The right is busy keeping our kids ignorant and unprepared to compete—banning books, gutting science, and forcing religious doctrine into science class. Meanwhile, China is offering AI education to 6-year-olds. They’re building the future. We’re arguing over hiding the past.

LMFAO

On April 2nd, 4 US Army Soldiers died in a training accident in Lithuania. 🕊️ The Lithuania Govt. showed more respect than our own govt Staff Sgt. Knutson-Collins, 28, Michigan Sgt. Duenez Jr., 25, Illinois Sgt. Franco, 25, California. Pfc. Taitano, 21, Guam. Much Respect 🙏🏻 🇺🇸 #SheShed

God Bless Lithuania 🇱🇹

Joe Scarborough is an idiot. That’s it. That’s the post.

"Rather than attend the dignified transfer of the bodies of four U.S. Army soldiers who died on a training mission in Lithuania, Trump flew to Florida to watch a Saudi-funded LIV golf tournament at his own course." www.thedailybeast.com/trump-picks-...

In 72 days, Donold has taken 14 days off and spent $26 million of taxpayer money at his golf clubs.

🇱🇹🇺🇦 Zelensky: "Met with Lithuanian Foreign Minister. Thank you for the assistance from Lithuania, to the entire people, the government, in particular for strengthening air defense, investing in Ukrainian production of long-range weapons, and training our soldiers."

Cory Booker for Minority Leader!

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

The Department of Government Efficiency, for example

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

What we saw last night in the Senate was outrageous! When an arsonist is burning down your house, you don’t write them a check for more fuel.

Dicks Sporting Goods is one of the good guys! 🏆

Democrats even *thinking* about joining Republicans to censure Al Green for having the courage to stand up while they sat down do not deserve to be able to generate a single fundraising dollar from a person of moral character ever again.

If we had strong, fearless news media, we'd see headlines like: "Trump lies about Social Security fraud." Instead we see headlines about his "game show flair."

No I didn't watch the State of the Union address. I don't speak Russian.

To those asking why Democrats are not simply getting up and leaving in the middle of this speech, I honestly have no idea as it would clearly be the correct thing to do if one has already made the mistake of showing up in the first place

That traitorous prick can't stop lying and using kids as props for his reality show performance. And the dems are saying nothing. Stop being spineless and stand the fuck up.

Let this sink in.
