Can't think of a dystopian author who could imagine the grotesque reality of Trump regime operations.

Armed FBI agents knocked on the doors of two pub defenders at SEVEN AM, asking to talk w them, having made no earlier effort to reach out. Both PDs represented ppl detained by ICE. FBI said they “wanted to reach out before work.” Which is nakedly not true. HARASSING DEFENSE LAWYERS IS REALLY BAD.

Let's help the New York Times out here - Trump and his leaders in Congress are lying.

$19.4 million. That’s how much taxpayers have spent so far to defend Andrew Cuomo and his staff in three lawsuits brought by women who allege they were sexually harassed by the ex-governor. www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/02/c...

A Trump intermediary tells CNN’s parent company that they can buy peace with Trump by making a highly flattering documentary about Melania Trump or a TV show about Trump Jr, which would involve paying the Trump family large amounts of money.

Zelenskyy just mocking Putin now: “The ‘office’ of our operation on Russian territory was located directly next to an FSB headquarters in one of their regions.”

Annie by far would be the funniest senator. And if there were a medical emergency she could help with that, too. No need for constituents to die prematurely and unnecessarily!

The worst people on Earth coming together to make everything worse for everyone

I had to double check that this was real and yep there's the president sharing a post claiming his predecessor was executed in 2020 and replaced with a robot or a clone I mean CHRIST can the legacy media please normalize calling him unhinged, at the very least

"It's like the U.S. was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy." #ResistTrump

When what you’re doing is definitely legal, justified, and on the up and up….

⚡️ The special operation "Web", as a result of which the SBU hit 41 Russian strategic aircraft, was prepared for more than a year and a half. This operation was extremely complex from a logistical point of view. The SBU first transported FPV drones to Russia, and later - mobile wooden houses.

"If what you're doing is legitimate and lawful, why do you need to cover your face?”

Dear Members of the Press. P0TUS bragging that his tariffs are "already" bringing TRILLIONS of $$ into the US. Beyond the fact that it's not true, will you please ask him, "If that's so, then there's no need to even discuss cutting social services, medicine, education, air safety, etc etc. Right?"

Thou shalt not tie up children in zip ties and then deport them, for that maketh thou a MONSTER. A MONSTER! THE PEOPLE DOING ZIPTYING CHILDREN ARE MONSTERS!

They Should Arrest His Supplier And Cut Him Off! That’s The Way It Works, Right?!?😊💙

2021: There is no AI, you're doing your own laundry. 2023: CEOs are saying that AI is coming and will do your laundry. 2025: There is AI. You're still doing your own laundry. 2027: You're doing the AI's laundry.

Experts reviewing RFKJr's magnum opus MAHA health report conclude that the whole document was faked by someone using Chatbot AI, and was probably never even proof read. They're not just fraudsters, they're very lazy, too. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

This sociopath destroyed countless lives and made life worse for millions of Americans, sneering at them as he indulged his narcissistic impulsivity. But now he has feelings. What are they and will he feel better soon? We asked in a six-part series. Today in the New York Times

Would be good if reporters ask the administration why they let a man they knew was constantly using psychoactive drugs to take a hatchet to the federal government and cause uncountable death and immiseration
