Louder for the voters in the back!

“Take and eat; this is my body.” - The Ueckarist

With all due respect, Judge Luttig, I don’t believe Trump is intellectually capable of this kind of nuance. He simply didn’t want to say out loud that he will ignore the Constitution and do whatever he wants.

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

Just say it.

Your School House Rock moment...🤔

We no longer monitor our milk for safety, and we’ve stopped feeding the starving children in Africa or medicating HIV positive folks who will die bc we cut them off mid treatment-all in the name of waste fraud & abuse-But 🟠’s having a multimillion dollar military parade for his birthday?

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

So…RFK Jr has been mainlining it since he was a kid.

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

I’m all for deporting criminals who aren’t here legally. That isn’t the issue. The issue is the lack of due process which affects us all. The issue is a child with cancer was taken from their family, their home, and their healthcare. The issue is the glee with which they are doing this.

My advice…..?

Americans put in the Oval Office a man who does not give a damn about the Constitution or the rule of law, but only about consolidating power & wealth for himself & his cronies. Every day we can see the fateful consequences of this disaster--and We the People must decide how long we'll tolerate it.

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

I think @amandalitman.bsky.social is correct here

Pete Hegseth had an internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon’s security protocols set up in his office to use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer, AP reports

There is an entire political movement that believes the statement “if you work full-time in America, you should be able to pay your bills and have a savings account with your paycheck” is radical. We must come to an agreement that it’s not radical to demand that.

Reading Obama’s tribute to Pope Francis is a stark reminder of how far presidential dignity has fallen. Where there was once eloquence, compassion, and moral clarity, we now endure a swaggering caricature—petty, reckless, and painfully unworthy of the office.

NEW damning details on Pete Hegseth: Minutes before U.S. jets hit Yemen, Gen. Kurilla sent strike intel through a secure gov system. Hegseth turned around and dropped it in at least two Signal chats—on his personal phone. Jet timing. Target locations. And he still has the job.

The difference between Christianity and Christian Nationalism is a Pope who advocated for our most marginalized and a woman who considers him evil for doing so.

Remember the 6 men who forcibly removed Dr. Teresa Borrenphol from the Coeur d'Alene town hall? They’ve been arrested and charged! www.kivitv.com/news/six-men...

What's the craziest thing you ever saw happen at a baseball game?

It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift

This is brave This is good Thank you

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

NEW: RĂĽmeysa Ă–ztĂĽrk says she's had 4 painful asthma attacks in ICE custody, and not only is her asthma going untreated but a nurse tore off her hijab, saying, "You need to take that thing off your head." www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...

I love this! 👇🏻

ICE: "We must punish immigrants for NOT paying taxes!" IRS: "But they do pay taxes." ICE: "Well, then help us punish them for PAYING taxes!"

Never fails

Gasparino: Let's be clear what happened, who capitulated here and why? You know, I don't want to say this because I am a patriot, I am an American, but it is The White House who capitulated based on everything I hear and all my sources

100% this!!

Trump has ended up looking confused — and even worse, WEAK — on the global stage.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

JD Vance is such a pathetic piece of shit.
