To those making up Republican leadership, it's YOU motherfuckers that are enabling this shit. It is on YOU. You could end this shit quickly. It's YOU people are pissed the fuck off at. Don't you fuckers even think about blaming Trump, Musk...or any-fucking-body else. YOU are fucking responsible.

Please share! A U.S. born citizen has been arrested in Florida and placed in an ICE hold!! They want to transfer him to immigration detention DESPITE acknowledgment he is a citizen. This is happening in Leon County and we were at his hearing earlier this morning.

Remember back all those years ago when Pete Hegseth held a top secret national security conversation on Signal?

You know who should lose their tax exempt status and be taxed as political entities for pushing politics loooooooooong before Harvard? Christian Nationalist megachurches that supported Trump and his current brand of fascism.

"A lifetime bitch" is an amazing insult.

What we saw today was two jumped up thugs and their bootlicking sychophants laughing at the US Constitution, the supreme court, and the idea that anyone can stop them from doing anything they want www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Be a Mister Rogers. Wear comfy shoes. Celebrate kindness. Sow affirmations. Save time for make-believe. Sing silly little songs. Testify before a senate subcommittee about the importance of quality public broadcasting. Feed fish. Love sweaters.

Hundreds of girls in the US are confined by the juvenile justice system for “status offenses,” like running away or truancy. Confinement for these offenses is particularly troubling because those behaviors tend to be responses to abuse. More care, less confinement.

Your daily reminder that the very existence of billionaires is proof of societal failure www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Riley Gaines has built herself a nice little career out of finishing in fifth place one time and then complaining about it.

Has anyone mentioned Trump coming away from his medical”exam” with a fake diagnosis of some sort? That would change the subject

Starting to doubt Peter Navarro’s economic theories.

in so much news coverage there’s still this sense of propriety and decorum in the face of an outright assault on our civil and human rights. i just want to remind journalists that your politeness will not save you—so you might as well say what you really mean.

Finally!

SpaceX just landed a $5.92B contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches — the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit. While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall. Hello?

Not AI Not The Onion

No. Just, no, no, no, no.

Don't be surprised if the "concessions" Donald Trump is looking for from foreign countries in exchange for dialing back tariffs are not "you need to buy more pork from American farmers" but "you need to lease another floor in Trump Tower for ten years."

I think the key here is there needs to be consequences. There were consequences after WWII, and Germany did not keep electing Nazis. There were no consequences after the 2008 crash. There were no consequences for trump after the first term. It was as good as permission.

I so wish the judge would respond: "Listen Assholes: I have jurisdiction over YOU. And if you don't do as I order, those guys in El Salvador won't be the only ones in jail. Now, hop to it."

Hank Tough is the name of a wannabe supervillian who is really just a pile of hamberders and NFTs in a trench coat stumbling around tracking dog shit everywhere

Whoa.

This is correct.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

I just voted to help @credomobile.bsky.social decide how to distribute its monthly funding to progressive nonprofits. You can vote, too! It's free and takes less than a minute. Vote here: bit.ly/3hA7arP

Republicans have used George Soros as a bogeyman although there is no sign of Soros having much influence on any Democratic administrations. But if Democrats continue to use Elon Musk as a bogeyman next month when Trump pretends to have sidelined him, that will be demagoguery of the highest order.

Just so I understand correctly, it’s a crime to give water to people who are waiting in very long lines for hours to vote, but it’s just fine for corrupt billionaire Nazi Musk to commit an actual felony by bribing people in Wisconsin with million dollar checks for their votes.

If you or someone you know got laid off by Trump & Elon today, consider running for local office and bringing your expertise into leadership. We’ll help you. runforwhat.net

The basic deal now seems to be if you got rich enough off your crime to bribe Trump, you're good to go buddy.
