Gosh, who could have imagined that a guy who wanted to eat bear roadkill might not be trustworthy?

US government spending since Jan. 21 “is up 8.7% over the equivalent period in 2024 .. “.. 7.2% over 2023.” 🇺🇸 @jesskarl.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/opinion/news...

Whoa! New polling shows that a majority of voters in EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT oppose cuts to Medicaid. Members of Congress should take note. ☎️ Flood the Capitol switchboard to voice your opposition to the bill from hell. 202-224-3121. Defend Medicaid! Defeat Cancer!

The average American has three friends.

You'd think with $200+ billion, you could afford to have some balls installed.

“Recently deputized” means “frustrated gym bros who wanna carry guns and boss people around.” It’s always the biggest failures at life who sign up first to be enforcers, torturers and concentration camp guards. This is beyond fucking dangerous and it’s gonna get people killed.

There is nothing on heaven or earth that can make me care about Shedeur Sanders.

Coolest pic of the day.....

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

NEWS Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard signed a sworn declaration stating that she was a resident of the State of Texas. But then she voted in Hawaii.

Post a movie from the year you turned 18.

If you have any doubt about where we are, the DoJ has suspended one of its top attorneys because he admitted in court that the government’s deportation of Abrego Garcia wasn’t supported by any evidence he’d been provided by the administration. You can’t tell the truth if you work for this bunch.

This is what they're doing to Dr. Badar Khan Suri. This is not my America, and the world is aghast.

WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well? GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available WARNER: We have a trade surplus!

Justice Sotomayor

Houston, we have a problem.

tonight's Supreme Court majority said a lot of stuff that was completely unnecessary to what it decided, yet somehow, it didn't think to mention that we're not at war with Venezuela

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

Read the Sotomayor dissent, beginning on page 7. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

He’s just that dumb.

From Nov 7:

This is why due process is part of the US constitution. The fascists in power don’t care. But we should. We all should.
