putting the d in dds 🦷

Three justices on the North Carolina Supreme Court who tried to steal this election for Griffin are up for election in 2028: Paul Newby, Phil Berger Jr., and Tamara P. Barringer. When Election Day comes around, I hope the state's voters remember what these lawless partisans tried to do here.

Functionally, one big mistake Democrats keep making is that they consistently make gender and race WAY bigger deals than the electorate thinks they are. Voters broadly DO NOT CARE about whether you're a Black guy or a white dude. Identity is not a savior and we should stop pretending it is.

Bring back woke.

I just met Lindsay Ellis?!! I don’t think I fangirled *too* hard 🫠

ok i was skeptical of the hyperspace overlay but it was a blast 💥 ….now change it back pls

america loves to learn lessons the hardest way possible

LFG 💪

They're maniacally obsessed with policing women's bodies. www.dallasnews.com/news/texas/2...

the celebrity endorsements for this game i swear to god 😭

ready for the happiest place on earth ✨

“the trajectory here is one of resistance and defeat” ✨

may the fourth be with you

some good news for your feed

“After my tariffs, 4 dolls will cost as much as 30 do today” is not a winning message

This might be my favorite clip ever

love that my chance of dying at DCA is higher than ever. thanks, maga.

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.

naur

Freedom’s just another word for everything left to win

can’t second this enough. your mental and emotional health are priceless, folks — act accordingly

so here's an early hint of trade war impact in the monthly jobs data!

Love to have a government that monitors every college student op-ed, social media post, and tattoo for potential deportation but does absolutely nothing about a blatantly illegal pollution factory.

elect a gang of unserious, incompetent clowns, expect a fucking circus.

Trump-appointed judge rules Trump can't deport Venezuelans from South Texas under the Alien Enemies Act. First federal judge to rule that Trump can't use the 18th-century wartime law for this. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

This guy, Dom Lucre, shared child sexual abuse material on Twitter, got banned for it, and then Musk reinstated him. Absolutely wild to see him being treated like a real journalist.

I think this is basically where I fall, too. Hogg is a great activist and good for generating engagement. He’s also a little too undisciplined (to the point of being a liability for the DNC). Youthful enthusiasm is critical…but so is pragmatism.

The meme of the president pulling the economy lever is almost never true. Most changes in economic growth have nothing or at least very little to do with the president. This one is different and is instead entirely self-imposed by Trump.

This should go without saying, but believing that a crime committed by a trans person proves anything about trans people, generally, is the absolute fucking definition of bigotry.

When Leavitt said anyone could get into the briefing room, she wasn’t kidding.

Love ya, Canada — and most Americans do, too 🇺🇸🇨🇦

It's not just Trump's approval taking a hit. Voters also say they care less than they did in 2024 about (formerly) GOP-leaning issues like crime and immigration. Concerns about the economy, social security, and health care are up. The thermostat comes for Trump www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-thermo...

Even by MAGA’s deranged standards the war on medical research is incomprehensible

a mashup of hung up—an abba-sampling banger—with a completely different abba song??! **and** it sounds incredible?!! 😍

young gen z men: stupid until proven innocent

Decades of building an informational universe in which loyalty and loudness are the central virtues has resulted in a president and a senior team unprepared for reality. Gift link: wapo.st/44ce0i3

I get that this kind of content performs *very* well because it’s hyperbolic and generates immediate interest… and it’s genuinely great that anti-Trump messaging seems to be breaking through… but jfc this shit is annoying, tacky & transparently hallow 🫠

Pew poll has Trump at 27% approval among Hispanics CNN poll has Trump at 28% approval among Hispanics This is a complete collapse among what was the fastest growing group of GOP supporters. Trump is now where he was before the 2018 wipeout.

ICE DEPORTED THREE U.S. CITIZENS, ages 2, 4 and 7, with their moms early Friday per @efelton.bsky.social @maeganvaz.bsky.social. They were seized during a routine check-in and not allowed to call family or lawyers. The 4-year-old, with Stage 4 cancer, was removed without medication wapo.st/4jJ7BPC

New CNN Poll: Trump's 41% approval rating is the lowest for any newly elected president at 100 days dating back at least to Eisenhower
