This is what it looks like without a United States Congress.

Yesterday was a historic day in meme history. If you’re worried that no one captured all the memes and key tweets from Day 1 of the Trump-Musk Civil War, don’t worry—as ever, RETRO has you covered. Strap in, because this meme archive is huge—and it gets pretty wild and woolly. (Some of it R-rated.)

I just hate when a couple puts all their dirty laundry on social media. I mean, yes, I understand that he told you to leave because he's moved on. And I know he is telling everyone about the time you went to Epstein island. I understand neither of you wants custody of Big Balls. #divorcesucks

I'm beginning to think electing a sexist egotistical lying hypocritical bigot to the Presidency and in turn having him give a ketamine addicted toddler access to the country's most sensitive data wasn't a great idea.

These two psychos have access to all your personal data, by the way.

A plague a’ both houses!

WTF??!

I saw a post earlier where a man said he called to report his parents because of the circumcision he had 57 years ago. Apparently, the FBI agent/rep told him to please not call with that kind of reason as they had been getting calls about that all day.

The Trump administration has announced that it is revoking guidance to the nation’s hospitals that directed them to provide emergency abortions to women when they are necessary to stabilize their medical condition.

Data harvesting and collection is what tech oligarchs were always after. They had no intention of saving money or reducing U.S. debt.

I prefer Senators who actually care if poor people die due to political policies.

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

Phang: We don’t need the Ten Commandments hanging in Texas schools. What we need is common-sense gun legislation—so the kids can live. If my kid goes to a public school in Texas and they can’t come home alive, I don’t give a shit about the Ten Commandments being posted on the wall.

NPR sues Donald Trump for trying to strip its funding. NPR’s President calls Trump’s Executive Order “a clear violation of the Constitution and the First Amendment's protections for freedom of speech and association, and freedom of the press.”

CBS reporter Scott Pelley: This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”. If you haven’t already shared this, please do.

Abortion bans cause dead women to be intubated and forcibly kept alive against the family wishes. And the family pays for it.

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

"the Supreme Court achieved what law professors believe to be the biggest instantaneous 'de-documentation' of immigrants in U.S. history. 350,000 people who woke up on Monday with legal status in the U.S. went to bed Monday without it." @daralind.bsky.social immigrationimpact.com/2025/05/21/s...
