Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

As it turns out, Mike Johnson is now learning that a lot of Republican voters are on Medicaid.

HAHAHA!!

Trump-speak is pervasive with his minions!

“If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.”

trump, by the numbers: 3 days since flood 2 days of golfing 11 laps in Daytona $5 million taxpayer dollars 14 dead in Kentucky 77 Truth Social posts ZERO posts about the Kentucky victims. NOT. ONE.

"Looking at photos of the American and Russian delegations meeting today in Saudi Arabia, I had two reactions. The first was my hope that this American mission abroad fails. The second was how discomforting it is to root for that failure."

Do Americans want safe food? Which Departments are responsible for food safety? USDA HHS -> FDA and CDC Commerce -> NOAA (fisheries) If one Department is disabled, we don’t have safe food Enjoy your dinner 🍲

You own it, Trump voters. ALL of it... inflation, gas and eggs prices... you own it ALL. You have all three government branches. GOVERN!

Tesla is one of the most toxic brands on Earth yet a bunch of Broligarchs keep pretending the stock is worth something. You aren't proving Tesla isn't worthless. You are proving our financial industry is worthless.

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

Canada just signed a trade deal with Ecuador so the orange juice options will increase now that Florida Oranges aren't being bought. Oasis is a Canadian brand. Minute Maid is bottled here using Brazilian oranges. I guess Florida can sell elsewhere? If anyone will buy it at this point…

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

If Elon Musk can afford to pay people to look at your taxes, he can afford to start paying his own.

Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it? That's some fucking bullshit.

Canada is not the problem

Boom!! That’s how it’s done!! 🇲🇽 🇨🇦

Leon is a fool

Punctuation matters!!

If you are wondering why the country that helped America with its recent forest fires is being punished with more tariffs than China, which never helps America, Elon Musk owns an enormous car manufacturing plant in Shanghai. With Elon and Donald, it all comes down to their dollars, not your lives.

This is what "merit hire" means to them

Way would Trump cut back on air traffic controllers whose job it is to keep us safe??? HE IS KILLING US!!!!!

He can’t

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Here's a clip from 2009, when President Obama spoke about the Continental Airlines crash -- the LAST time we had an airline crash with fatalities in America. He didn't blame Bush. He didn't blame Reagan. He just consoled America. A REAL Commander in Chief.

What's the goal? Full apartheid like in Musk's birth land?

RFK Jr. is far more than just an “anti-vaxxer.” Over the years, he’s made countless outrageous statements on a wide range of topics. We’ve compiled 10 of the wildest clips—though even that barely scratches the surface.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

Last week was the longest month ever.

Europe has a message for Elmo.

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

Gotta love the British press.

In 2020, it became apparent that a lot of people had been asleep in science class. Well, in 2025, it’s become quite apparent that they slept through history class, too. #Resist

Trump is as bad as we thought he would be, and it’s only day two of this administration!!

Think @cwarzel.bsky.social is correct here — Elon is a heinous troll who does all to get reaction and attention, a bottomless well of need www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...
