I sure hope Chief of Staff Trump is okay.

I don't care what TIME says. MY Person of the Year is Kamala Harris. TIME got it wrong. So did America.

Why would a normal person want that horrible man for president?

Is everyone aware of what Musk is doing? He's telling the GOP to shut down the government and... wait for it... raise the debt ceiling so they can borrow money against the debt ceiling and issue it as tax rebates to the rich. Musk is going to rob the treasury blind, right in front of our eyes.

Guess which ‘one’ hasn’t figured it out yet?! 👇 Just one guess. 🇺🇸

You know it’s bad when even Trump is pity posting through it 💀

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy were never elected to Congress and should have ZERO say in any talks about keeping the government open.

It’s a shame geriatric Dems have not found a way to put charismatic communicators like @aoc.bsky.social into positions of authority. Let’s re-visit what we are doing here.

You know what's scarier than the Pentagon having a secret drone program? A blackout drunk in charge of the Pentagon having a drone program.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "I'm gonna just sit back and sip my tea and wait on them to figure it out."

Sigh.

#ACTUALNEWS Trump has picked conspiracy theorist and Fox News contributor Dr. Janette Nesheiwat for Surgeon General.

#ACTUALNEWS Donald Trump has nominated Russel Vought, a prominent figure behind the conservative Project 2025 initiative, to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

The post below has gotten quite a bit of traction here and elsewhere. People say it's because it offers practical, historical advice and hope. Understanding and preparing for the worst of what we may be facing is essential. Resisting is absolutely a must! #TheResistance

I'm starting my day the way I always start my day now . . . Never watching Morning Joe again. Joe kissed the Ring in 2015/16, and he just kissed it again, (kissing his career goodbye in the process). Joe has always been arrogant and disingenuous.

Considering the situation we find ourselves in . . . There is undoubtedly a strong connection between privilege, apathy, a lack of curiosity, and social stupidity.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

It's up!!!! My Explainer video for BlueSky beginners. I cover how to find your Twitter followers, Starter Packs, Feeds, Lists, some handy-dandy tools, and BlueSky etiquette. Please watch and/or share with any newbies you know. I think it's helpful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_V2...

People who think professional wrestling is real think that the allegations of covering up sexual assault against Linda McMahon and her husband Vince are fake. Make it make sense.

Hello. This is your friendly reminder to tax the churches.

OF COURSE Pam Bondi is corrupt. She was the AG in FL, and no one works for DeSantis without being corrupt. Trump has nominated her to be the U.S. AG, and he wouldn’t let her clean toilets at Mar-a-Lago unless she were entirely corrupt. Decent people don’t EVER work for Trump.

How the Andromeda galaxy would look from Earth if it were brighter

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

🚨BREAKING: Pennsylvania Court REJECTS David McCormick and GOP lawsuit to discard Philadelphia provisional ballots. This victory ensures that 966 voters will have their ballots counted. Congratulations to Team Casey who fought and won for these voters! www.democracydocket.com/cases/pennsy...

Normalizing Trump is a bad idea. Period.

The Constitution also says he requires the "advise & consent" of the Senate to approve his nominations.

Trump's demand that the Senate permit him to use recess appointments to put his nominees in place is about more than just getting those nominees on board. joycevance.substack.com/p/what-letti...

I feel like a f*cking private detective, lol... checking everyone's profile, then checking who they follow, then who's following them 😑 You gotta be sure you don't let any MAGAts in 🤨🦋💙

It's gonna be a very long 4 years... im back to barely sleeping and waking wirh anxiety #fucktrump

Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinsk and the rest of the crew on Morning Joe opening the show justifying their need to bow & kiss the ring was yet another stark reminder that the media will ALWAYS put ratings over country…..

Nine out of ten Amazon addictions can prob be traced back to the Scholastic Book Fair.

Don't obey in advance & preach freedom. Joyfully talk to everyone you know about RIGHTS & the tenets of democracy & our Constitution. Freedom of speech Freedom of religion Freedom of assembly Freedom of the press Miranda rights & unlawful search & seizure. What other rights should we add?

I’m absolutely done with people pretending he’s not a felon. I’m exhausted by his lies, his smug grin, his terrible makeup, his arrogance, his voice, and his face. I can’t wait for him to be out of our lives for good.

Everyone on this site has a library card

A clean sweep for Putin.

He isn’t building a cabinet, he is building a vendetta squad.

I'm sure this Cabinet of inexperienced grifters who excel solely at advancing their own careers will produce an administration that runs like a well-oiled machine.
