everything is securities fraud www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Do it, Elon. The truth could set you free. It is the only way to find redemption, salvage your companies, and beat Peter.

Will Jake Tapper’s next book address the orange chicken-in-chief’s cognitive decline? You know, Trump’s genuine clinical insanity that compels him to publicly share conspiracy drivel about Mecha Robo-Biden?

ICYMI — federal agents cuffed an @RepJerryNadler aide inside his congressional office, claiming they were “conducting a security check” The guardrails are off. More: www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Donald Trump, more detached from reality than ever, just shared an unhinged QAnon post saying former President Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced by clones.

Give me a break, Musk is not leaving because his scheduled time is up The litigation held him accountable, & for that & other reasons he became politically unpopular & a liability He lost. Democracy won. Only one round of the fight but a biggie!

I am convinced Trump watched too many Jackie Rowling movies, in solidarity of course, and his broken brain has now conflated Alcatraz and Azkaban.

The pope:

Apparently not content to wipe out hundreds of thousands of American jobs, DOGE is now putting Russian computer hackers out of work by personally giving our data directly to the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin!

i keep imagining going back in time and explaining to the founding fathers in excruciating detail what happens to america in 250 years and watching them all go insane and start tearing each other apart like chimpanzees

The South African PayPal Mafia is hard at work attempting to destroy the United States, and they are stripping the government to grow their own power and wealth Thiel and Musk are disgusting, engorged ticks that need to be removed and flung into the fire

History speaks. Europe’s lessons from a century ago can wake up and inspire our democracy…in 2025 America. Stream my hour-long special “Rick Steves’ The Story of Fascism in Europe” at www.ricksteves.com/fascism.

Shoutout to Adam Schiff for saying what Republicans won’t—Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires are moving forward, and working people are about to lose their healthcare. Next: make every House Republican vote on it. Let them show us who they really work for.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Rubio makes me so fucking sick; his admin willingly, happily gutted America’s soft power and handed it to China And yet, he has the audacity to use Chinese influence as a threat while bullying Greenland and our NATO allies

Small businesses in America are finished, but don’t worry because big business isn’t worried More of 47 decimating the American dream Musk, when asked by a rally goer whether or not they should start a small business of their own, “No” You’ll work for the oligarchs and like it

*picks up dirt and breathes in* “There was a battle here.”

Talk about bringing manufacturing “back” to the United States, but dissolve unions and block any future efforts to unionize, while destroying government health and safety regulations and reimplementing child labor Make America Sweatshops Again!

🚨NEW from @americanprogress.bsky.social: Trump's taking a sledgehammer to our economy—costing American households $3,800 📈higher coffee, banana & chocolate prices 📈wine prices up to 40% higher 📈iPhone prices up to 40% higher 📈higher prices on 97% of clothes www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

deals are being made every day

Americans demand to know why Elon Musk & DOGE are hacking our private data and what they’re doing with it. I introduced an Oversight resolution that will investigate Musk’s unsanctioned access to data and his use of AI to mine American data and its implications for privacy and national security.

From @reuters.com: SWISS GOVT SAYS FINDS US GOVERNMENT'S CALCULATIONS ON TRADE TARIFFS INCOMPREHENSIBLE

The Trump admin and the creeps at DOGE have allowed for an AI chatbot to kick off a trade war by following through on its horrible advice? An AI-powered protection racket? 🫠 And this is the same AI that every Republican is fine with using to replace federal workers and mine our personal data?

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Historians of white supremacy passing the flame to historians of the Great Depression in the world's saddest Olympic torch relay.

something that still gives me hope is that our side still has all of the hot people

when that third adderal extended release hits

A bad day for the GOP is a great day for America

SCOOP: The lawyer working for DOGE who now leads USAID has a history of violence and racist remarks, ten people who knew him allege. Police records show he was also once accused of threatening a girl with a knife/ www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I LOVE REGULATION. I LOVE THE PEACE OF MIND KNOWING THAT A RESTAURANT IS SAFE TO EAT AND A PRODUCT WONT KILL ME. I WANT MORE REGULATION. I DONT WANT CORPORATIONS TO BREATHE WITHOUT GOVERNMENT PERMISSION.

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social is incredibly right in the difference between us & Nazi Germany. Germany had an ideological vision who's goal was indeed to make the country "strong" & "powerful" whereas this is just a deliberate collapse & looting. The outright goal here is to destroy the U.S.
