Kamala warned everyone many times that "If Trump wins, we will enter a recession by the middle of next year."…..at this rate we're ahead of schedule

Liar Greg Abbott says he has refused to set a special election to fill the seat of recently diseased Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner because he says Harris County doesn’t do their elections properly.

I must not be the first person to bring this up But there has never been a more vindicated guy

Been thinking about this Zappa quote a lot lately.

This is a tale of both sides again. This is another reason we can't have democratic representatives that are beholden to big money. It's got to end.

If you are attending one, please post the details below.

Is the agenda clear yet???

If a deranged president intentionally destroying the country's economy with a ludicrous obsession (and misunderstanding) of tariffs *isn't* justification for invoking the 25th Amendment, I honestly can't imagine any scenario that would be.

Stay woke, people. And go listen to We All Scream, now out in audio form! Listen here: hypeddit.com/pattonoswalt...

Obama: “It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors." Bingo. The economy is now a dumpster fire and MAGA is silent when we all know they would have been screeching under him or Biden.

Gross.

People couldn't handle pronouns in email signatures so we got this instead.

"Trump has no intention of just quietly receding into the darkness in 2028...he wants to stick around...when I said in 2019 he wouldn't leave peacefully, people laughed at me, unfortunately, I was vindicated in the worst way." I was on NewsNation this week, & disagreed with host Leland Vittert:

Strange how that works:

EQUAL RIGHTS FOR OTHERS DOES NOT MEAN FEWER RIGHTS FOR YOU. IT'S NOT PIE.

We warned you of their plan

In a statement proclaiming National Child Abuse Prevention month, Trump called trans people child abusers and the biggest threat to children.

The Dow is now down over 2100 points while Donald Trump does fuck all at Mar-a-Lago.

1. Montana Republicans have killed a bill that would have allowed voters to repeal the state's gay marriage ban. If SCOTUS ever overturned Obergefell like they did with Roe, gay couples could see their marriages ended forcefully. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Lithuanians in Vilnius paid more respects to the 4 American troops who died in Lithuania than Donald Trump…who ran off to go golfing.

WE WILL NOT ACCEPT DEFEAT! Get your asses in the street!

Weather forecasters warn of "potentially historic" amounts of rainfall in some places today through Sunday with some areas getting 10-15 inches or more along with a "catastrophic, life-threatening flash flooding risk," especially in the lower Ohio Valley, mid-South, and Ozarks.

Not sure what's worse, the reporter asking a softball "do you want to weigh in on that" [Signalgate] or the reporter immediately moving onto another topic when Trump demands, like a little baby, that she doesn't "bring that up again". Our media is failing us. Again. zeteo.com/subscribe

1. In a proclamation issued yesterday, Trump declared allowing transgender youth to transition "child abuse." He then called for swift punishment of "abuse," with transgender care being his main example. This is the latest escalation in attacks on trans youth. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Penguins don't fuck around. #transmemes #transrights #transgender #trans

Donald Trump has given the management of the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to Strategic Storage Partners, LLC, a little-known company whose "headquarters" is registered to this $1.6 million house in Franktown, Colorado. And the government is paying them $1.4 billion. Seems super shady.

For fuck's sake. Google says gender identity is no longer protected under its hate speech policy. #transnews #transrights #transgender #trans www.usermag.co/p/youtube-re...

I guarantee by next week, in exchange for tariff relief, Trump will be demanding from companies political donations to far right causes, rollbacks of DEI, purging LGBTQ employees, and cessation of funding to civil society orgs that support progressive causes.

Efforts by the National Institutes of Health to shut down research that merely references LGBTQ people or people of color are a direct attack on public health — and illegal.

Alienate our allies Crash the market Devalue the dollar Spike prices Dismantle the federal government Cause immigrants to live in fear Make others not want to come here If you made a blueprint for how to hurt 🇺🇸, it would look a lot like this Putin is enjoying the show

He hates the military. We are just props.

Remember when the anti-trans folks got accused Joanna Olson-Kennedy of not publishing a misleading null result on her trans dataset (even though she published 27 times!) and accused her of hiding stuff? Now Trump is ACTIVELY suppressing research and doing their own purposefully manipulated studies.

Hope it was worth it to stop a few of us from peeing.
