The undisputed best response to Donald Trump Jr. Whenever you see a post from this pathetic POS, simply reply with:

I just think there needs to be more attention paid to the uniquely creepy, mendacious, awfulness of Speaker Mike Johnson. Don’t underestimate the depth of his ambition and breadth of what he is willing to do to never return to Shreveport.

Whoever made this deserves a medal.

Ian Bremmer at Tulane: Speak out because we can't fix a problem until we call it out... and when we stand up, when law firms stand up, when universities stand up, courage is contagious Don't Obey in Advance Speak Out Make Good Trouble Show up at #NoKings Day 6/14 NoKings.org

The USA is barely recognizable after 4 months; if you think you can sit on the sidelines and it will be handed back to you in four years you are out of your mind.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

Elon may be on his way out, but DOGE is still gutting countless government programs and services that millions of Americans rely on. Here are seven ways that DOGE is ruining your life. youtu.be/M5LD2CSOzmI?...

The media has been failing for yrs. Trump lies as he breathes, he’s been doing it for yrs, and he gets away with it bcuz the media stopped covering Trump’s lies a long time ago. My midweek meltdown.👇https://open.substack.com/pub/socialcontractwithjoewalsh/p/he-lies-all-the-time-so-say-it?r=4csydt

I’m starting my annual walk across Connecticut today! Beginning in the very northwest corner of the state - Salisbury. I will talk to hundreds of people over the next few days about what they want (and don’t want!) from their elected leaders. My favorite week of the year!

I’m not going to pretend for one second that an executive order is a law. I don’t serve a king.

BREAKING: Texas passed a bill requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom. We will be suing.

I wouldnt be too quick to buy this. Musk got what he came for all along—our personal information. The world’s richest guy doesn’t walk away from a $250 mil investment empty handed. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...

Who will tell the president what the Constitution requires? Certainly not Attorney General Bondi. And certainly not this nominee for the Office of Legal Counsel.

A viral post is spreading fear on all platforms, supposedly from Liz and Me, about a nonexistent bill—just like the far right used to do. We cannot become what we’re fighting. The truth still matters. We win by being better, not louder. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/dont-fight...

Speak Truth.....about Vets...💙💯

Medicare for All means Medicare for ALL — not some, or a few, or most. Health care is a human right. Every other major country recognizes that. It's long past time the United States does as well.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

We should organize a letter-writing campaign where elementary school students can write Secretary Real World and tell him how they learned to ride the bus or subway all by themselves, and maybe one day he can too

They sure do seem very adamant on these denials.

Treating a new Covid strain like a crime and not a public health issue is deranged.

#RepAshleyHinson received her share of boos today at her town halls, over her loyalty to Trump policies and to the Republicans

AG James statement:

Psaki: FEMA requests are the kinds "you sometimes wake up the President for"

RFK Jr’s Department of Health and Human Services has notified Moderna that it is canceling a nearly $600 million contract with the company to develop, test, and license vaccines for flu strains that could trigger future pandemics, including the dangerous H5N1 bird flu virus.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

A mom and her child being kidnapped off the street and thrown in a van in Phoenix, AZ — by Who exactly??? Seriously, we don’t know—These gestapo folks are masked, have no ID’s and aren’t showing warrants.

Yaaaaaas!!!! Clarence Blalock had announced his candidacy to run for the House to unseat Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia. Let’s go!

📌BREAKING: Dow Jones futures are 1.3%, the S&P 500 is up 1.6%, and the Nasdaq 100 futures have jumped a whopping 2% on the news a federal court spiked Trump's disastrous tariffs. 📌Now if these damn courts would just throw this America-attacking traitor in jail we might finally get our country back.

90 deals in 90 days

They are purging all the transcripts.

Most of Trump's tariffs were just ruled illegal (because they were based on nonsense). This is the second best possible off-ramp for the U.S. economy. The best would be if Congress were to take back the power the Constitution gave it. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/b...

ICE agents rounded up around 40 people today across Martha’s Vineyard—grabbing some out of their cars. The sweeps were carried out as part of a series of traffic stops with the help of FBI and DEA agents. “You should be ashamed of yourselves,” one person shouted at several agents gathered outside.
