New piece I've been dying to write for eons now. JD and Usha Vance seem to hate each other, and barely bother to conceal it. This is no way to live your life. But JD Vance wants this misery for everyone. www.salon.com/2025/08/11/d...
The voters bought the ticket and they'll take the ride.

DiSabato: Jim Jordan knew that Dr. Strauss was performing unnecessary genital exams. And he absolutely knew that Dr. Strauss was taking showers with us on a daily basis.. He knows that because he was there with us. Jim took showers with us.

The poll shows that Trump's approval rating on the issue has dropped 7 points since January.
This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.
“Taney is still worse, because he helped usher in the Civil War.” Jury’s still out on what Roberts is ushering in, folks, but it isn’t going to be good
We need more of this shaming overall.
It most certainly is!
look who learned what 86 means
More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.
He died of a drug overdose.

No matter how much you hate maga, it's not enough 💁♀️
Oh, fuck off. You literally tried to annex Canada and started a trade war
So *did* Joe Biden need a wheelchair? ?? Or nah. Because it's six months since the election
Trump brought his emotional support pet Elon Musk to Saudi. Interesting to see Musk refuses to wear a suit in White House but wears one with Saudi royals.
White supremacy is when Donald Trump bans 1600+ vetted Afghan refugees who helped the USA against the Taliban, but proudly accepts white Afrikaaner South Africans as refugees to the USA for no apparent reason except they're white. Reminder that Trump is pro-apartheid & racist.
“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”
I've always loved Paul Rudnick's wit.
Pediatricians say that childhood vaccines are safe. A heroin-addled nepo baby with a brain worm says they may not be. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.
🚨BREAKING: Full Fourth Circuit DENIES Trump admin motion to stay order blocking Musk/DOGE access to personal data at Social Security Admin. Data will remain out of Musk/ DOGE’s hands. A BIG win for @democracyforward.org and its clients! Follow Democracy Docket for details. www.democracydocket.com

Congratulations to Mark Carney and the Liberal Party on their election victory. The bond between Europe and Canada is strong — and growing stronger.
Every hour that Pete Hegseth remains in his role, America is less safe. Call your Representative now and tell them it’s time to #FireHegseth (202) 224-3121
💥 BREAKING: Goldman Sachs shareholders voted today to reject two anti-DEI proposals, both by 98-2 percent. GS Board urged shareholders to vote to reject proposals. "We believe that diversity, including diversity of thought, experience and perspectives, is important to our commercial success."
there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch

Happy Easter to those who support Constitutional rights and due process.
The GOAT. www.startribune.com/wisconsin-go...
Republicans want to make this all about criminals and victims. It’s about the Constitution and due process for all. It doesn’t matter who they are torturing today. They want it to be us next. That’s the fight.
Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.
Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker
It's always the ones you most expect.
88, you say?
Maga: the party for faithless Christians, gutless veterans, and dirty cops.
Economic anxiety, my ass.
One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Nice! That don't look like no grass fire I ever saw.
When who loses? We all lost. Join who? I don't work for the DNC. I'm not here to recruit you. Either smarten up or live under fascism💁♀️
Well, which is it? Did the Democrats lose because they supposedly ignored the super important left-wing bloc, or was that bloc too tiny to matter? Can't be both!
The current generation of Russia loving maga is a disgrace to their memory.

The judge should start putting senior DHS officials on the stand, one step below maga political appointments. People who will have reputations and careers st risk.
The only explanations I can come up with are: 1. They're paid trolls 2. They think 'after Hitler, our turn' 3. They're idiots
It never fails to amaze me that people can't distinguish between politicians they dislike, and *the worst thing ever*
Sergei, why don't you and your troll army stop meddling in American politics and find something better to do with your life.
🔥🔥🔥
Both Elon Musk and Christian nationalists call empathy "toxic," "suicidal," and even "satanic." But what they're really worried about is that empathy is *feminine*. And in MAGA, a woman is the worst thing a person can be. An analysis. www.salon.com/2025/04/11/m...
This is a lurid fantasy that the lazy left tells themselves to excuse their disgraceful inaction in the last election. No matter how fascist the Republicans act, they will blame Democrats for it.
The good news is you got what you wanted, another Trump administration. So you can keep whining about Democrats while Republicans round up your friends for writing letters and send random immigrants to torture prisons without trial
Nothing except locking up thousands of TFG's violent supporters, arresting the ex President, searching his compound, and putting him on trial twice. And if the lazy left had turned out, he'd be in prison now
Maga weakness emboldens Russia.
As Neri Oxman famously said, 'You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else'
Dominance is the attempt to gain status through intimidation or fear. It is in contrast to prestige-based strategies where people pay you respect in return for help. Narcissistic individuals are drawn to dominance. When such individuals face status loss, they react with aggression. (2/5)
Q: 60 Minutes found 75% of the migrants who were sent to El Salvador do not have criminal records. That true? BONDI: They're not Venezuelan migrants. They're illegal aliens from Venezuela who should not have been in our country Q: So you're confirming they didn't commit a crime? BONDI: *leaves*
It's because you produced the receipts and impeached his fat ass, and that was humiliating for him.
The sneering face of fascism
Maga hates families
Jack O'Donnell, the ex-president of Trump's former Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, says one particular trait "makes it easy" for him to target U.S. allies.
We really cannot hate maga enough 💁♀️
DHS secretary Kristi Noem, wearing a $50,000 Rolex, talks about arresting dirtbags while aiming rifle muzzle dangerously close to ICE officer's head
They've spared no expense... www.cnn.com/2025/04/07/s...
Maga weakness emboldens America's enemies
The headline should be "The Army has reenlisted more than 23 insubordinate soldiers, orders are now suggestions"
The solution to the problem of maga entitlement is to not travel to America, not invest in American companies, and not buy American products. And these efforts should be especially focused on red states. Why would anyone give money to people who are openly disrespectful to them on a daily basis?
Well, as Neri Oxman famously quipped, 'everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face'
Just about everyone in the financial world thinks Trump’s tariffs plans are a disaster. We talked to one investor named Bill who doesn’t.
That's not... how cognitive dissonance works
Anyone who shows the slightest shred of humanity, honesty, or decency will not last long under fascism www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
Yup. American voters are famously not tolerant of asshole politicians who cost them money.
Absolutely incredible turn out at MN State Capitol! #HandsOff
This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.
What you see happening to our economy and constitution is the result of a conspiracy theorist huckster/ sexual abuser POTUS hawking $5M “gold cards” while he shoots America in the face. That same huckster puts idiot loyalists in charge of our institutions. $6.6T in value lost. Our country savaged.
Apparently wokeness was good for the economy 💁♀️
Maga is degeneracy
“I think we’re all familiar with the old adage, 'When the going gets tough, the tough get going to Florida for a Saudi-backed golf event'...” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Is this a good time to mention that Kamala Harris has a degree in economics?
Howard is the obtuse simpleton that Wall Street folks told me he was

this is a good post and "decadence" is a good way to think about a lot of things. true decadence is, eg, thinking you could let an insurrection go unpunished and the country would just keep chugging along nbd
Several male commentators have expressed confusion over why Mike Johnson was mad about the bill allowing new parents to vote remotely. The answer is simple. He is a sincere misogynist who does not want women in power. Most Republicans agree. Analysis. www.salon.com/2025/04/03/m...
Maga is weak, lazy, and stupid.
"You have to throw trans people under the bus to win elections as a Democrat, trans political ads work, the public is reacting to trans people poorly" Meanwhile in Wisconsin after tens of millions in anti-trans ads against WI-SC candidate who did not flinch:
