Luca to the Lakers for AD and a bag of chips? What is this world coming to?

“The party running against the 3rd Reich wasn’t that great either” is how so many people sound. Like just stop talking! Shut the fuck up!

It was an honor to sit with Fmr. FBI & CIA Director Judge William Webster and his wife, Lynda, at Kash Patel’s FBI Director confirmation hearing. Webster is a living legend. We both agree—Patel is unfit for the role and a danger to national security and the rule of law.

NLRB's Acting General Counsel just send this memo out to staff saying, "I cannot promise you that everything is going to be OK." "I know that the past few days and nights have been extremely scary and distressing for some of us."

Colombian President Gustavo Petro's full post ordering an increase of import tariffs on U.S. goods, says he doesn't really like traveling to the U.S. because it's “a bit boring” and invokes the ancestors

Goddammit. The Onion once again posted an article in which a portion of the artwork came from an AI-generated Shutterstock image. This article was over a month old and only a portion of the image. We took it down immediately. We'll be more vigilant. I'm personally sorry and I'm working on it.

I've touched enough grass today, I just have to ask because I was driving all day yesterday - 13 hour road trip - but did anyone else's phone's/applications keep shutting down yesterday?

All I’m saying is, if Pluto were orbiting Jupiter it would be the fifth most interesting moon of Jupiter.

Wait I stand corrected, they understood the threat of Obama. Sorry, I saw this while going to bed last night and didn't read much more into it. This just goes to show that Republicans are weak, scared little piss babies, huh?

Something we'll be hearing more and more I think

You fuckers are sleeping on Jupiter’s moons. I don’t want to ever hear one more person whine about Pluto if they can’t tell me a single fact about the in-every-way-superior Ganymede.

Never had as many govt leakers reach out as I have today. Not even close

Directive instructs federal agencies to suspend public communications until they can be cleared by a Trump appointee (though Senate hasn't confirmed most appointees yet)

Trump administration just ordered a blackout on public communications by agencies across government, multiple officials tell me. Here's a memo from HHS I obtained describing the comms blackout.

Secretary of State Rubio instructs diplomats that only the American flag is allowed to be displayed at US facilities (i.e. no pride flags), the sole exception being POW/MIA flags, per memo leaked to me

this kicks ass lmfao

This fucking idiot - Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) - is introducing legislation that would allow people to hold the office of the Presidency for 3 terms. Not only will this treasonous bill not pass, but he must have also forgotten this would allow Obama to run a third time (and he'd beat anyone).

THESE FREAKS ARE TRYING TO MAKE SEX ILLEGAL UNLESS YOU PLAN TO HAVE A KID WHAT!? billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/documents/20...

Saw this on Twitter and thought it might be useful for some of y'all!!

So the Dems are aligned in using the Hegspeth allegations to oppose him. Dumb. The man is not qualified for the job. That is all that matters. He has never managed more than 100 people. He won't be the actual one running DOD because he has no clue how. And this is what the Dems focus on ?

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat. I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

It’s great to be back teaching at UC Irvine Law—and not just because the whiteboards are plentiful! I love training our next generation of lawyers, and I’m excited to be sharing what I learned during my time in Congress through a new course on legislation.

he's my special boy

Free speech absolutists

no no no you misunderstood. I said “fuck YOUR feelings”. MY feelings are very important and must be handled gently, like a tiny baby hummingbird

Sen. Susan Collins told reporters that she was concerned that the FBI’s background investigation report about Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth is said to have omitted relevant information thehill.com/homenews/sen...

BREAKING: new trump executive order mandates egg prices be fixed at $14.88, some are calling this a nazi “dog whistle” but experts aren’t convinced

Thank you for speaking truth to power through love, Rev Mariann Edgar Budde. The kind, just people of this world see you and appreciate you.

he heard a dog walking outside and he's pretty sure it is my fault

This from @aoc.bsky.social. The targeting of migrants for detention & deportation, without due process, is an outrage in itself. But it’s also about profiteering. “I want folks at home to look at which members of congress are invested in private prison companies…& look at the votes on this bill.”

This asshole is: 1. Railing against someone who actually practices their faith as Jesus instructed, something he never does; 2. Railing against people who release criminals from jails when he released over a thousand just this week; and 3. Railing against refugees, when Jesus was one in Egypt.

Every other social media app is owned by evil little freaks so this has to be the Big Tent website that welcomes everyone else. People who don't understand jokes. People who know it's a joke but still think it's Harmful. "To be fair," guys. Put up a statue of liberty here but it's on the computer

New York Times: the post made by elon musk is vague and unclear whether or not he is truly nazi. many are debating on this issue, but conclusions seem to be leaning towards just a simple awkward moment the elon musk post in question:

This is worth a watch. Listen to Michael Fanone after the trash is done speaking. Pass it on.

Actual newspaper headline in Britain.

The thing is, I feel like if someone truly, accidentally, & unintentionally made a n*zi salute on a national stage, they would be appropriately horrified by it and apologize. And when they don’t ….. it says everything.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

Congratulations on your Tesla purchase.

I’m always so happy when I find sets of photos that I can keep together, but is so extra special. I’ve never seen kitty photos printed into little shapes like this!

*yawn* The GOP gives Collins and Murkowski cover to “vote their conscience” and keep them in their Constituents’ good graces. If this wasn’t a tie situation, one of them would be voting for Hegseth.
