So now you tell me they knew all about this crap at least 500 years ago??

ā€œThe Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying ā€˜anti-Christian biasā€™ as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new order on supporting employees of Christian faith.ā€

How is this different than what Republican senators say about Trump

All 6 people in the helicopter that crashed into New Yorkā€™s Hudson River have died. A Spanish family of three children and two adults were killed along with the pilot.

George ā€” @gtconway.bsky.social ā€” if the deal w/ Paul, Weiss & similar caving law firms is bottom line, why arenā€™t we pressuring their clients to ditch them? Probably canā€™t ditch mid-case but can publicly announce will later change firms to fighters like Perkins Coie and many have no active case.

Heartbreaking šŸ’” ā€œA helicopter carrying a Spanish family on a sightseeing trip crashed into the Hudson River on Thursday afternoon, killing all six people on board ā€” including three children ā€” in what officials described as a ā€œtragicā€ incident.ā€ www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

After 19 years and 235,000 miles, they said that I had to let it go. They promised to send it to a farm in upstate New York where there are no speed limits and it can zoom around all day in the sunshine with the other Corollas.

I'll remember this stupid post when the price of everything has gone up a minimum of 10 percent because of all the blanket global tariffs the president imposed while you were doing a touchdown dance that some of them weren't as high as he'd threatened

Two American Airlines jets, including one carrying at least six members of Congress from New York and New Jersey, clipped wings on a taxiway at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington on Thursday, officials said.

Woohoo! New ergonomic forearm crutches here, shifts weight away from hands! Donā€™t alway need them but when I do #arthritis in my hands makes normal forearm crutches a literal #pain. So want people in #rheum #rheumatology #chronic #chronicpain #spoonie communities to know these exist. a.co/d/irUWs4X

šŸšØHouse Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 millionĀ marriedĀ American women. Under the SAVE Act, women who took theirĀ spouseā€™sĀ last name and don't have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.

In case you're wondering... it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans. And nobody has been fired... Don't stop talking about SignalGate

Every time a helicopter goes down in a river Iā€™m reminded of my whitewater kayaking days when a helicopter crashed in front of me on Lehigh River. All survived. Small 2-seater bubble chopper w/ 3 people joyriding on employerā€™s dime. Tripped power line. All walked out on rail line, pilot lost job.

There should be a special prosecutor appointed immediately.

Repost from @ohdems.bsky.social Every Ohio GOP Rep voted against child care, against insulin caps, against veteransā€™ benefits. Why? Because they donā€™t serve you. They serve the donor class.šŸ„ŗšŸ’™

Oh, how I miss President Obama and competent government. šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

WATCH: ā€œThat might be the worst bill Iā€™ve seen in 7 years. Congratulations, Kevin.ā€ Kanew hounds TN Farm Bureau lobbyist Kevin Hensley after their bill to protect giant pesticide corporations like Bayer from sick farmers died today- thanks to powerful testimony from farmers/moms

ā€œTheyā€™ve got not shameā€ Imagine just now coming to this conclusion

FYI, China is currently dunking on the U.S. SO hard and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Peep how everyoneā€™s fat and depressed..

Trump just announced a pause on his tariffs. I made a video a few days back explaining why he would probably do this.

Something I learned in Congress: if it smells like corruption is happening, there is a good chance corruption is happening.

šŸ§µ Iā€™ve decided to run against Nancy Pelosi to represent San Francisco in Congress. I know some of you might be surprised that Speaker Emeritus Pelosi is running again, but she is ā€”Ā for her 21st term! We need new leadership in the Democratic Party.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A šŸ§µ to explain his plan and how we fight back.

The Social Security system is crashing, locking senior citizens out for long stretches nearly every day. And Trump's solution is to lay off 1000 more workers and slash the IT budget by 50%. Start asking if the purpose is to crash our economy and society. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Is it just me or does Doug Burgum look like Robert De Niro in "Cape Fear?"

Interior secretary Doug Burgum has placed unusual demands on his employees, and his chief of staff has directed political appointees in his office to regularly bake chocolate chip cookies for the boss and his guests using industrial ovens at department headquarters. www.rawstory.com/doug-burgum-...

Is anyone else suddenly getting a lot of Turkish followers? Just started the last 2-3 days for me. These arenā€™t mixed language accounts - all posts are in Turkish.

New from me: It's very in vogue for tech bros to talk about "network states," where likeminded people get together to form their own alternative nations, often with crypto fueling the economy. The TheoBros are actually doing something like this now in Appalachia. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

So THIS is how we save money? A giant parade for Herr FĆ¼hrerā€™s birthday?? It was ditched before because of cost and damage that will be caused to DC roads. (Oh - yeah, itā€™s the Armyā€™s 250th birthday but we all know thatā€™s the cover not the substance.)

I have prints available of my art! Please go check out! Great gift ideas and an affordable next best to the original work I create! Thank you!! ā™„ļø fineartamerica.com/profiles/1-a...

When elected officials see mass protests and then immediately adjust their behavior in response, that is a good thing. That's how this should work! Celebrate Blumenthal for this. And then ask your own Dem senator what they're doing. And what Schumer is doing.

Hands Off march in Gustavus Alaska! I'm proud of my little town for standing up. #handsoff

I just learned that my 80yo REPUBLICAN mother-in-law went to the Philly #Handsoff protest and I am just so proud! (no, of course she did not vote for the monster)
