“I had nothing to do with the parade. I didn’t even really know anything about it. They said Sir, there’s a parade and they want you there, so I went but I didn’t know anything about it.”

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

Yah NYC! Massive No Kings protest!

PSA: If you’re protesting today, turn the biometrics on your phone OFF. No facial recognition, no fingerprint, PASSCODE ACCESS ONLY. Law enforcement can make you unlock your phone with those, but they can’t make you use your passcode. That gives you a case in court should they go that route anyway.

A king parades tanks through the capital today while our democracy bleeds. This isn’t a celebration—it’s a threat. When the military marches for one man, not the people, you’re no longer a republic. You’re a hostage.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

Thank you to all of our service members and veterans. We appreciate you, your families, and your sacrifices for our country. Wish we were spending millions on you instead of a parade.

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

This is actually perfect. The emptiness makes it look as ridiculous and wasteful as it is.

This is upsetting.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

After #Springsteen criticized the administration, the president said he should “KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT.” Undeterred, Springsteen included his comments on a new release, which begins with his remarks that America “is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration."

The absolute disgrace taking place today in front of cameras in the White House is yet another reminder that for all the talk of Joe Biden's failures, the people who failed America the most are our citizens. Empowering this guy (again) was a foreseeable disaster we'll be lucky to survive.

RAMAPHOSA: I am sorry I don't have a plane to give you TRUMP: I wish you did. I'd take it. If your country offered the US Air Force a plane, I would take it RAMAPHOSA: Okay

These are deeply, profoundly, tragically abnormal times riven by cruel, hateful, reckless and ignorant people bent on dismantling our government, strengthening Putin, stoking fear, breaking our spirit, enriching themselves and ruling over the ashes of public liberty. We won’t let them succeed.

"Political fairy smut" is a keeper

Noem : I do spend time out there with our components Gallego: We’ve seen the Instagram photos Noem: They’re not photos. They’ve meant the world to the individuals at DHS Gallego: I’ve seen some of them especially some really bad weapons handling

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

On the topic of presidential mental acuity, the current president was awake at 1:30am rage tweeting about his former opponents’ crowd sizes and calling Beyoncé, Bono, and Bruce Springsteen ‘unpatriotic entertainers.’ Where is the news cycle about his fitness for office?

Today is unfortunately a good reminder of just how depraved many Trump supporters are. It should be the easiest thing in the world to just wish someone well in light of a devastating health diagnosis. That they can't even meet that very low bar says a lot about their character.

It’s not just Newark: Nearly all air traffic control facilities in the U.S. are understaffed.

“Poor man wanna be rich. Rich man wanna be king. The king ain’t satisfied ‘til he rules everything.”—Springsteen, Badlands

There are two ways a US President can win business for the US economy. The first is by establishing rules that favor competition and create an open, productive playing field for everyone. The second is by brokering corrupt deals for big companies that court his personal favor.

Good morning to everyone but the most corrupt president to ever exist, who is at this moment selling out his nation to the funders of terrorism so his boy can sign another $2 billion deal. Oh and Tom Holman

And there it is folks. Qatar orders 160 Boeing aircraft. Trump gets 1 free $400M jet as his brokerage fee. Nothing to see here.

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

Like Pritzker's approach to this more and more!

52 years in prison for being at the wrong place at the wrong time

“After library officials resisted, the DOJ officials departed without resolving the conflict.” One of those sentences that tells you who and where we are as a country in 2025: librarians are braver than law firms and CEOs.

I don’t know if it is “stupid” to decline a gift from a foreign government, but it is ethically and constitutionally required. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/u...

So Mr. “made in America,” Mr. “America first” wants to fly around for the next four years in a plane made in Qatar, huh? Trump thinks you’re all stupid.

It’s incredible that the President of the United States is openly flirting with suspending Habeas Corpus, disappearing people left and right, arresting judges and politicians, accepting ludicrous bribes from foreign countries, and people are still trying to normalize this shit.

Trump surrenders It’s Monday. There are 540 days until the midterm elections. Tough guy surrenders to China, Republicans want 14 million to lose health coverage and Trump welcomes the whites.

It’s so nuts that the comparison he draws is literally cheating at golf

But remember, *you* can only have two dolls and five pencils

Every single day, that bloated carcass of a president goes out looking the way he does, yet every article is "Have you seen Pamela Anderson???" who merely stopped wearing makeup.

The elevation of Pope Leo XIV is a profound and historic occasion. Like so many around the world, I am praying for him and wishing him and the Church well as his papacy begins.

CDC leadership just told staff on Monday that they could stop sending their "5 things I did last week" emails. Finally. Per source, people were mostly just sending the same things every week. Many folks added read receipts and were able to see that no one at DOGE was actually reading the emails.

Pope Leo XIV — born in Chicago, IL — is the first American pope in history.

Carney. Albanese. Prevost. We’re uniting the world. 🇺🇸

IMPORTANT: first Canada...then Australia... now Vatican City Trump is helping his opponents get elected all over the world!
