Waking up to Ukraine absolutely shredding Russian military and air force Is amazing Slava Ukrainii

"If what you're doing is legitimate and lawful, why do you need to cover your face?”

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

At long last, the corrosive fever of Reaganism appears to be breaking. It’s sad that we need to break the entire federal government & large swathes of 🇺🇸 society for that to happen, though.

WELKER: In 2021, you cited the CBO. So do you only believe the CBO when a Democrat is president? MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is very easy to explain. The CBO sometimes gets projections correct...but they always underestimate the growth that will be brought about by tax cuts and reductions in regulations

pride month is also an opportunity for straight people to practice being normal and letting people enjoy things and have fun

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

Proud of this pride

54% of children in America are insured by Medicaid. The ONLY party looking to kick them off is the GOP. The ONLY party trying to defund the ACA is the GOP. The ONLY party trying to get rid of vaccines and medical research that saves lives is the GOP. The cruelty is always the point.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Consciousness of guilt.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…

More of this please!

Trump turning on Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society is just perfect.

The real scandal in 1930s German politics was Kaiser Wilhelm’s cognitive decline

On the one hand, such mockery is well earned. On the other, it could very well drive him completely insane, and he still controls the nuclear button.

Liberals are too soft on the mainstream media, especially the NY Times, AP, and CNN

If Trump really wanted to destroy Harvard, he’d put Elon in charge of it

Oh, nooooooo. MAGA is boycotting Harvard. How are they going to notice?

Women are 51% of the population but 70% of the poor, and 83% of single parents doing 66% of the work producing 50% of the food, but earn only 11% of the pay and own only 1% of the land. In case you wondered why we still need feminism.

During a debate titled "One Christian vs. Twenty Atheists," Jordan Peterson loses by forgetting what side he’s on

Good grief, Wisconsin, Here's another reason Justices Rebecca Grassl Bradley and Annette Ziegler must lose their seats on the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 2026 & 2027. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/05/23/w... #Wisconsin #wipolitics #wisdems #wisgop #SCOWIS

This hits hard.

The entire Republican Party has lined up solidly behind a would-be fascist dictator with a narcissistic psychopathic personality disorder. But the real problem is that Democrats spent too long backing a president who often looked and sounded old.

Well deserved failure.

Incredible chart work. 🙏🏼 #90dealsIn90days

Analysis | Democrats may not like it, but the past 24 hours have vindicated everyone who didn't vote for Kamala Harris because they thought that Joe Biden might develop cancer.

not thrilled with how differently ‘father’ and ‘gather’ are pronounced

What if…?

This is so far over the line it’s disorienting.
