BREAKING: The U.S. economy shrank by 0.5% in Q1 2025, worse than the previously reported 0.2% drop, revised Commerce Dept. data shows. A sharp reversal from 2.4% growth in the last quarter under Biden Are you tired of winning yet?

Senator Mike Lee has earned a spot in our Villains Hall of Fame What kind of soullessness does it take to respond to the assassination of a colleague with bad jokes and conspiracy theories? The news cycle may have moved on, but we won't forget.

Oh

Well done, Comrade Lee. Putin’s proud.

Watching Truth Social posts by Trump every hour, each more insane & unhinged than the previous one as he circles the drain of a malignant narcissist’s descent into dementia, makes it that much more ridiculous that media just spent a month on Biden while pretending Trump is sane.

Is that right…

Wow

Yet after surviving this cataclysm, the American people responded by shrugging. The country’s verdict was, Well, we’re all still here, aren’t we? So I guess Trump couldn’t have been that bad. Let’s try it again. Only, with fewer guardrails, please. If Trump was really so bad, we’d all be dead.

House Republicans want to slash funding for the Government Accountability Office — a nonpartisan watchdog that investigates wrongdoing at federal agencies — by nearly half in the next fiscal year. So much for reining in waste, fraud, and abuse.

I feel pretty sorry for all those MAGA sheep who blindly gobbled up Trump's bullshit lies that "the Russia-Ukraine war would've never happened if I was president! The Israel-Gaza war would've never happened if I was president!"

With all these Feds in masks, MAGA has to be concerned. Remember during Covid they all thought it was unhealthy and you rebreathe diseases! Make Agents Healthy Again!

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.  It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Totally shocked that the guy who wouldn’t rent to Black people refuses to honor the national Juneteenth holiday as president

Senator Ted Cruz 2013 on Obama attacking Syria: "The residual presidential authority to act militarily in the absence of a declaration of war is based on an imminent, direct threat to the United States." "[Acting] would be contrary to the Constitution" Senator Cruz 2025 on Trump attacking Iran:

The Trump administration is kidnapping and trying to deport American citizens who look “foreign.” No warrant. No due process. No rights. Americans voted for cheaper eggs, not for a night of broken glass. #MAGAKidnappers

Sunday: "The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran." truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT... Today: "We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran ... Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA." truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT... He's not a hawk. He's not a dove. He's just a moron.

Obvious point: Most of the undocumented immigrants who are being rounded up are better Americans, in the ways that matter, than Donald J. Trump.

Fucker. www.fox9.com/news/melissa...

The man who launched an attempted coup on the United States in 2020 and instigated an insurrection at the Capitol that resulted in five deaths now claims that people in Los Angeles are launching an insurrection. They’re not. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

MAGA person doesn’t even know what their own state flag looks like

Protest sign outside White House: “Deport Trump to El Salvador”

More chaos at home. More wars abroad. This Trump regime is an international disaster.

💪

They lie about everything

Democrats finally figuring out something Republicans knew years ago. This is the present and future, and campaigns who continue to rely on pouring tens of millions in network ad buys are just setting donor money on fire and making consultants rich.

New Quinnipiac poll: Trump’s approval: Disapprove: 54% Approve: 38% Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill: 53% oppose 27% support Handling of immigration: 54% disapprove 43% approve

This Trump voter says he has “a little buyer’s remorse” after ICE detained a third of the workers at his small roofing company. He thought the Trump administration would only deport criminals.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

FTW.

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Keep protesting. Don’t light cars on fire. Distracts from a situation in which Trump looks bad for over the top raids that spurred the crisis and his obvious exploiting of the crisis he started. Really nothing is more counterproductive. Just throwing him a lifeline.

Trump’s immigration actions are a classic bait & switch. He campaigned on deporting violent criminals. Instead, he’s deporting moms with their (sometimes American citizen) kids, good neighbors & hard workers; people who pay taxes & provide the labor we need.

@razzball.bsky.social as of two days ago RSS feed doesn’t seem to be working. Something up?

Reminder that California subsidizes red states.

👨‍🍳💋 This is a huge gift to Democrats. And for once, we can thank these two massive assholes for working out their insecurities in public www.messageboxnews.com/p/the-musk-t...

If Abrego Garcia committed a crime, he should be charged and tried. I wondered reading this headline why they didn't just do this in the first place, and then read the article to discover that they only began the investigation in April, after he was deported.

David Jolly, the former Republican congressman from Florida, just announced that he's running for governor of the state as a Democrat.

Between the Elon Trump fallout and 30 percent of dead Russian bombers this is shaping up to be a pretty nice little week

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