open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... Excellent article. I believe he’s spot on.

It's hard to adequately describe how scary it is to watch mainstream political journalists barely push back against a sitting U.S. president accepting a $400M plane from a foreign government that would literally be designated as an emergency command-and-control center during a nuclear war.

$400 million "palace in the sky" private jets for him. No toys for you.

If all he had to do was sign a piece of paper, why didn’t he do it nine years ago?

AOC blasted the Trump regime’s arrest threats of US Reps: “You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there … we’re going to have a problem.” More here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/terrible-n...

It's a fantastic book - download it - buy it - or just borrow it and read it. The Dust Bowl Triolgy are worth the effort.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

I still can't comprehend that Qatari Air Force One story. Jimmy Carter sold his fucking peanut farm to not look like he took advantage of his presidency 🤡

Go ahead. Elevate them to national fame and make them heroes like you did the Mayor of Newark. www.axios.com/2025/05/10/t...

Americans still think bad things will never happen to them, so they don’t care.

Our trade deal so far is no tariffs on Rolls Royces and Bentleys and our refugee policy is white South Africans only.

Chris Murphy is saying what I’ve been screaming about for months. Better late than never. Now, Murphy needs to hammer this message home in an unrelenting fashion…and never stop.

Zero! 😳

So the Republican Congress can pass a bill renaming the Gulf of Mexico, but can't seem to find the time to stop Trump's erosion of checks and balances or tackle rising housing and grocery costs? Their priorities couldn’t be more clear.

After Trump and Rubio claimed they mediated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, India’s foreign ministry contradicted them, saying the ceasefire was arranged directly between the two countries They lie about everything

It's honestly fascinating to watch the rightwing response to Pope Leo XIV. Normally, this guy would be greeted with enthusiasm. He's solid conservative who grew up in the Midwest. The first American pope. But he follows Christ's teachings on migrants and refugees. So, they're irate. Fascinating.

41% of babies’ births are covered by Medicaid. 35% of people with disabilities are covered by Medicaid. 62% of long-term care residents in nursing homes are covered by Medicaid. Medicaid is there for our families in all stages of life! #MomsForMedicaid

Trump's from NY, he witnessed the bravery of 9/11 first responders who were misled to believe Ground Zero was safe. Yet his budget proposes defunding critical support for WTCHP–effectively denying health care to 135K people. Let’s talk about Trump's betrayal of our heroes:

That’s the flag raising on Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima. It happened in February 1945. It has nothing to do with victory in Europe.

OMG. Trump will take credit for the new pope.

That means empty shelves, an economic slowdown, and layoffs, actually.

No, Merrick Garland is not “water under the bridge.” We are currently having to deal with multiple corrupt and chargeable men and women in politics because of his failure.

“I never thought the leopards would eat MY judiciary.”

Me, every time someone mentions Stephen Miller.

Marc Elias goes above and beyond. He's an example of someone who is doing a hell of a lot more than he could get by with if he wanted to "help out." Can we clone him??

Thou shalt care about things when they happen to other people, not just to you.

BREAKING: Denmark says it will summon the US ambassador to respond to reports that US intelligence was ordered to step up espionage in Greenland. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen told Ritzau: “It worries me a lot, because we don’t spy between friends.”

Reporter: I was watching your face during the meeting.. what was going through your mind when the President talked about erasing the border.. Carney: I’m glad that you couldn’t tell what was going through my mind Reporter: Oh I could

The face you make when you realize you’re trapped in the room with a babbling buffoon.

The Washington Post bragging about Pulitzer winner Ann Telnaes, the political cartoonist who left the Post because it had turned into an anti-journalism partisan rag, is one of the most shameless examples of misplaced self-congratulations in recent memory.

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack. I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

Btw, Katie is every bit as horrible as her husband Stephen. They are made for each other.

Because movie tickets weren’t expensive enough.

Come for me too

Courts delivered wins for Pennsylvania voters Friday in two different right-wing disenfranchisement efforts.🥳 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This may be the most obscene thing this man has ever done on social media It’s offensive at a level I’m struggling to articulate, but we can start with the fact that he’s again framing himself as God’s chosen representative on Earth when he is, remember, a _serial sexual predator_

Prices will go up. There will be shortages. National parks will be a mess. Air travel, based on what we're seeing in Newark, could go sideways. Measles will spread and fall COVID shots could get delayed. And the president might throw himself a big birthday parade! Widespread anger is coming.

Chutzpah is lying to dodge the draft and then asking the Army to celebrate your damn birthday.
