AMERICAN CONSUMERS PAY THE TARIFFS. AMERICAN CONSUMERS PAY THE TARIFFS. AMERICAN CONSUMERS PAY THE TARIFFS.
The bullshittery of Trump and his minions is mind-boggling.
We’re spending a lot of time talking about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But don’t forget their victims. The survivors. Not all of them made it. At least two women connected to Epstein’s abuse have died by suicide. The real number may be higher. Jeffrey Epstein accuser, Maria Farmer, speaks out.
New York City is bracing for a major cut in tourism revenue, about $4 billion, as a result of Trump’s tariffs.
I was working as a cater waiter at a small, fancy NYC party. Donald Trump arrived with Melania on his arm and placed her like a statue in the middle of the entry way, so that people could admire her. She stood silently by his side the whole evening, never speaking, like a trophy.
I was working as a cater waiter, helping out in the kitchen at a fancy event in Manhattan. One of the guests walked into the kitchen and admired the dessert pastries. She had a distinct voice and a fun, extroverted personality. Turned out to be Eartha Kitt.
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
"This action is not only morally indefensible, but also wasteful, strategically shortsighted, and completely counter to the entirety of your work while in the Senate."
He’s looking more and more crazy every day.
Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸
Today Let's remember when a great President signed landmark legislation to give Americans healthcare Not on Trump taking healthcare away from millions today
The sad irony… The ACA—mocked as “Obamacare” by the right—insured 30M people. Half the country hated it. Republicans tried to “repeal”, NOT “replace” it. Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is projected by Yale to cause 51,000 preventable deaths. And most Americans still don’t realize what’s coming.
I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is. In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol. And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.
What, exactly, are we celebrating this Fourth of July? Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy? Our new concentration camps? Our dying economy? Our ditching due process? Our corruption? Our broken Congress? Our corrupt Supreme Court? Our ridiculous buffoon President?

By the numbers, Clarence Thomas has been treated to: • At least 38 destination vacations; • 26 private jet flights; • 12 VIP passes to pro & college sporting events; • 2 stays at luxury resorts; • 1 standing invite to an uber-exclusive golf club (Published 2023)
The facts are in: ICE isn’t going after criminals. We should expand legal pathways for undocumented people who aren’t criminals and who contribute to our economy – instead of deporting them.

A cruelty prize would be fitting for Trump.
Zohran Mamdani is the only democrat in the mayoral race that released an LGBTQ platform and the only democrat in the country (that I know of) to commit to safeguarding gender affirming care for youth + adults with $$.
WATCH: “Trump’s experience was being on the apprentice. Dr. Oz is in his administration. After Trump’s Pinky and the Brain administration no one ever gets to talk qualifications again.” @joyannreid.bsky.social drags Arthur Aidala’s lame anti-Zohran attacks.
💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼♂️ @aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔
Why Zohran Won the NYC Primary
There’s a mass shooting and Trump says to get over it. The GOP strips away Medicaid and McConnell says we’ll get over it. You know what? We won’t get over it. It took 43 years to get an apology for what they did to the Japanese American community. But we got one. We will persist. Count on it.
Ageism is prejudice against your future self.
He’s an utterly despicable man.
Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it? But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?
Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.
This pediatrician is amazing !
SCHRIER: Have you ever treated measles? RFK JR: No SCHRIER: Well I have. Let me tell you how miserable these kids is. The great thing is there's a vaccine to prevent it ... they only work if you actually give them
No
The White House has undertaken initiatives to crack down on immigration, suppress speech, and curtail US public health efforts. These online tools are tracking the rapidly changing US landscape.
Pretty on the money quote at the bottom of my cheesecake slice
Yes! He’s had that nauseous look on his face a lot lately, like he’s always smelling something putrid.
So beautiful!!
If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.
And these are the same snowflakes who couldn’t handle wearing a mask during the pandemic.
Take note.
This American supports the decision 100%! I spend a lot of time these days wishing I lived somewhere besides the US. So sorry for our president, Canada and Europe.
The entire establishment from both sides is aiming all of its money and firepower against Zohran Mamdani. Very telling. This is what they're threatened by and who they are willing to crush.
BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.
E. Jean Carroll: This is a man who wears apricot makeup, with his hair twirled around his head like Barbara Stanwyck in Ball of Fire. I was so close—I heard almost every single thing he said. The farting—you wanted to know about that? It was a silent one… sort of.
A conservative CNN guest stunned his fellow panelists with a story about how he told a close friend’s wife that her “love” and “kindness” did not erase the fact that she had “broken the law” when she entered the U.S.
"Peace president."
Trump’s tariffs are seriously chilling the economy as everyday costs rise. The President should put his ego aside and end these import taxes now.
LA DODGERS just now: “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.” Right on, Dodgers! More of this, please.
On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.
Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

In times like this, integrity matters. Well done 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 Top lawyers walked out of Paul Weiss to start their own firm—right after the firm cut a shady deal with the White House to dodge an executive order that would’ve limited its business. Some folks still have a spine.
Crockett: Right now, it seems like you don’t care about the constitution unless it’s the second amendment and that’s misinterpreted as well. There’s other amendments.. And we don’t get to just change it because our fearless leader says that he doesn’t like it
Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

Bill Owens, the producer of CBS’s 60 Minutes, resigned in protest. Wendy McMahon, the head of CBS News, has now resigned. I say to Shari Redstone: Enough is enough. Do not capitulate to Trump’s attack on a free press. Do not settle Trump’s bogus lawsuit against 60 Minutes.
Taxpayers pay $5M to the family of J6 insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt. Trump praises Putin. Musk’s AI site spews toxic gas. SCOTUS strips 350K migrants’ legal status. And that's just the beginning. Catch up with our daily bulletin:

Jessica: We have big headlines, getting investment like $8.5 billion out of Qatar, that was already announced in 2023 and 2024. Abu Dhabi, he says $200 billion… announced during the Biden administration… He likes to show up and take credit for things other people did

Today is a celebration of Ukrainian culture and identity through traditional embroidered clothing. The #Vyshyvanka is more than attire — it’s a symbol of history, resilience, and unity. Let’s honor the beauty of cultural heritage and the stories woven into every thread. #HRBC
I loved your town hall the other day. You give me hope. You manage to be both honest and optimistic at the same time. I’m begging everyone I know to join the nationwide protests on June 14th. Thank you for everything you say and do.
Thank you. I love everything you say and do to support democracy. I’d be thrilled to say “President Stansbury” in the near future.
Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?
Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development. Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system. Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.
How could you not be impressed by a bird in your yard? This dude can fly anywhere and it came here to hang out with you

I cried, so now y’all can too. Mr. Riddick graduated at 80 years old! It’s never too late, and this is important as I constantly doubt myself. 💙💙💙 congratulations to you sir!!!
Today, our client Rümeysa Öztürk was released on bail from ICE detention in Louisiana, and she will return to New England to continue her studies. 📸 Giancarlo D’Agostaro
She’s out!! They have released Ozturk from ICE custody!
Millions of Americans ask this question every day, including me. There’s a lot of insomnia among Americans these days due to our horrifying president.
This New Yorker agrees with you!
This American agrees with you. Our disgusting president doesn’t deserve to be allowed into Canada. Come to think of him, he should be kicked out of America. He’s a disgrace .
Honestly, the tweets are impeccable today. My goodness.
Well, well, well. The Acting FEMA Administrator said eliminating FEMA wasn’t in the best interest of the American people — and guess what?!?! They FIRED him. I guess that’s what happens when you stand up to your power-hungry “boss”.
“They’re only arresting them because of our color. Because we’re Hispanics. My mom isn’t a criminal. She takes care of her grandkids & serves a church.” ICE says her mom is in Louisiana. @tnimmigrant.bsky.social presser on the @TNHighwayPatrol ICE NASHVILLE raids: www.facebook.com/share/v/18D7...
BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Alabama's 2023 congressional map discriminates against Black voters in violation of the Voting Rights Act and Constitution. This is a win for voting rights.
Wait til they hear about some of the stuff Jesus said
Prediction Trump: We have an American Pope cos I made America Great Again Pope: Nationalism is bad, Jesus didn't like capitalism, and tariffs hurt the poor Trump: The Pope is a bad Pope, what a nasty Pope, I call him Fake Pope, etc Just watch.
Exactly!
