This is MAGA.

Jesus would like to know this too…..

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power has accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

more evidence that we are doomed.

My god...

It’s a strange contradiction vis-a-vis American foreign policy because Russia is treated as an adversary and Israel as an ally, yet both are regularly accommodated for equally misguided reasons

It’s not just the dissemination of misinformation and disinformation that corrodes the information space. It also matters which stories are prioritized—and which are deemphasized or ignored—by supposed “news” outlets & journalists.

Happy Pride Month, an event that corporations used to enthusiastically celebrate until a few intolerant people told them to stop

This man, who has human rights lawyer in his Twitter biog!, is hoping that Israel attacks the flotilla & hurts (kills?) my Zeteo colleague, & legendary activist, Greta Thunberg. To call this tweet disgusting & violent would be an understatement. But they keep telling on themselves:

We’re never going to convince them of shit, no “liberal Joe Rogan” is going to fix it, as long as they continue to vote we’re going to lose and they’re going to run the country into the dirt

Now that Trump has blasted Leonard Leo, don't let the right wing sanitize the Federalist Society. Its members have been supporting voter suppression for years, its judges are among the hardest on voters. What will come from Trump now will be far worse, but do not judge democracy on a curve.

i love the idea of chuck schumer being hounded out of office on overdue fines on a book he denies taking out at all

I was thinking why is no one screaming about all the "uncertainty" Trump is creating with his tyranny by tariffs the way they did with trying to insure tens of millions with Obamacare. Then I realized it's because Republicans came up with that and repeated it ad nauseam until the press bought in.

Grim. Mortgaging the future of the country and not even making a dent in the deficit along the way

Yep looks about right… 👇🏼

Trump’s mad rant unloads on Court-fixer Leonard Leo — has Trump FINALLY figured out that he was chumped big-time by Leo, McGahn, and the creepy billionaires (Koch) who REALLY controlled “his” judicial appointments? Slow learner.

And then ordered all the vaccines destroyed.

vocal opposition to democratic gerontocracy is nifty because it serves a constructive purpose — passing the torch — and a political one: signaling independence from The Democrats.

It’s TACO Thursday. Who does Trump cave to today?

This seat is open because asshole Democrats in the Senate wouldn’t confirm Biden’s pick for the 3rd Circuit because Biden’s pick was Muslim and did pro bono work for Muslim clients.

The signs handed out by the organizers to wave at the Republican convention read “Mass Deportations Now.” How did they expect it to work? Latest installment (gift link):

Hidden fees in live-event ticketing and hotels are now illegal under a Biden-era FTC rule that just took effect. Kudos to former FTC Chair Lina Khan, whose leadership could finally make junk fees a thing of the past.

Casar: "The only way to push back on this is for Democrats to be really clear that if we win back a majority, we aren't just going to let bygones be bygones. We have to go and investigate who paid Trump, who paid Musk, who made money off of these pardons because that is really serious."

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

Oh no, it would be a shame if everyone knew that the mayor of Riverview, Missouri---Mike Cornell---is a petty clown with a sketchy past.

It’s so weird how Gen Z doesn’t fuck with sideburns but does fuck with the shittiest beards you’ve ever seen You all look like this fucking idiot

Anyone who tells you that there’s anything more important in politics than framing and repetition must be forced to explain how Bobby Jr. became 12th in line for the presidency.

Bribery is one of Trump's favorite crimes. He just doesn't think it should be illegal, which he's been stating for decades now. He thinks bribery and corruption are just how business is done, and that it's outrageous that anyone would be charged with a crime for it.

Hard to believe they’re talking about the same event.
