Did Musk not realize he was just paying to keep Trump out of prison?

Trump Says He Gave Iran Permission to Bomb U.S. Base in Qatar and … Well, Mostly Crickets?

Indiana GOP Senator Lies About Medicaid Cuts In Budget Bill https://twp.ai/4inqFf

The most disgraceful occupant of the White House. No one else comes close.

Checking my notes on this, but apparently free bus rides are "radical" but opening a Maneating Alligator Concentration Camp is just mainstream government work these days.

Wow

I believe this is BORTAC, the Border Patrol's equivalent of SWAT. The guy who eventually shot the Uvalde killer was part of BORTAC. They're trained operators. There is literally no justification to use BORTAC to round up day laborers. None. Zero. Zip. Nada.

If Musk really cared, he'd be taking meetings with Republican senators and bribing them to vote no.

Senate Republicans voted AGAINST an amendment to Trump’s budget that would have saved over 300 rural hospitals at risk of closure or cut services. They don’t give a damn about their constituents.

Her daughter had a shot at reversing cancer by 15 years. Then the trial was canceled because of Donald Trump.

Terrific idea from @tommalinowski.bsky.social. Dems should get on this immediately.

Gov. Shapiro: “Trump ran on a platform of cutting the deficit, said he’d never knock anybody off of Medicaid, and he wanted more energy jobs in the United States. He’s doing the exact opposite and screwing over…some of the very people that voted for him.”

Trump is Putin’s bitch.

NEW: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

It’s a shame that so many Republicans vote for something they know will hurt their constituents & the country simply because they are afraid that Trump will threaten them if they don’t go along with it, & they are more concerned about his vindictiveness than they are about them.

Every one of these deaths is on the hands of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio. History should never forget.

Actually what Americans just saw today was a prominent Republican US Senator announce he is quitting because he knows this budget is going to hurt millions of people and he was repeatedly threatened by the president and his cult for telling the truth about it.

They didn’t make the tax cuts permanent when they passed them. They gave them an expiration date, which is here. Now they are living with the consequences of that decision/compromise. These are new tax cuts to replace the ones that are expiring, but they don’t want them to count.

Smart move by Newsom. 1) Fox is vulnerable after the Dominion settlement and he chose the right number. 2) with Trump, Musk & the bad faith right weaponizing defamation and libel laws to attack their critics, it’s time liberals and leftists fight (legal) fire with fire. Sue ‘em.

'G.O.P. BILL HAS $1.1 TRILLION IN HEALTH CUTS AND 11.8 MILLION LOSING CARE' That's our headline for the day. Make sure everyone sees it, hears it, and knows it. GIFT ARTICLE to share far and wide. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/u...

Yesterday Trump threatens to withhold aid to Israel unless the court reverses their decision to move forward with Netanyahu’s trial. Today Israeli court reverses their decision and postpones it. What a joke.

The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.

😡😡

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

I mean, look, if Mamdani actually had invented time travel, went back in time and invented Twitter so it existed six years before it was created, to tweet about something that happened when he was 9 yeas old, with a picture of him at age 33, well... then maybe it's something to talk about...

Never bet against the Republicans' willingness to sell out after spending weeks feigning concern. It's all an act. They're all self-serving cowards who will put party over country every single time.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

Republicans want to cut Medicaid and SNAP—so that this dude can have a tax cut. But tell us again how they’re the party of working people. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Every Senator who votes for these cuts is signing a death warrant. Don’t let them hide behind fancy words—this is blood on paper. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

President Biden and Vice President Harris hold hands next to Governor Walz and his wife at the funeral service of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark Hortman. It hurts to see what could have been.🥹 May we all soon see the day our nation is led with decency and kindness once again. #Respect

Someone tell uncle fester he can step down whenever he likes

I think much of the tech right’s turn to eugenics can be explained by their psychic refusal to accept that their massive wealth is the product of historical luck (being in SV at a time when investment money was cheap & abundant) and an insistence that it was instead a product of inherent supremacy.

The US military did NOT use bunker-buster bombs on one of Iran’s largest nuclear sites last weekend because the site is so deep that the bombs likely would not have been effective, the US’ top general told senators during a briefing on Thursday.

I sure as hell have noticed. How about you? 🤨

FUN FACT: Donald Trump has claimed the New York Times has been failing and CNN has no viewers since 2015.

Two paths diverged in a wood and America took the psychopath.

Perfect

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.
