Dropping this here, not because I believe it but because I don't dismiss it
"The American Democrat [sic] Party hates this country. They wanna see it collapse. They love it when America becomes less white. They love it when America gets overwhelmed." - Charlie Kirk
A thread that needs to be read
Why did Charlie Kirk matter so much to the right? For my latest newsletter for @thebulwark.com, I explore why he was a unique media figure in the Trump movement: www.thebulwark.com/p/why-charli...
I'd pay good money and wait in traffic to watch him lose 6-0 6-0 5-7 0-6 0-6.
Wtf?!
I have just signed an executive order demanding JRR Martin finally finish those goddamned books
He's always thought he was god. To them he is.
The folks at The Daily Beast dubbed him "Santa Monica Goebbels in the first term (maybe before). I've yet to find a better description.
To quote the departing empty soul, they're all gonna die
Greater love has no person than this, that they would lay down their life for their friend.
Is it any wonder that when transgender Americans have a mental breakdown of a magnitude sufficient to cause them to commit acts like this it is religious education facilities that are targeted? We questioned what was going on at the USPS when someone "went postal", but question religion?!
Bingo!!
This is what they ask for
Making sure there are no stray samdwiches available for tossing.
Pete said he arm them, I just never expected it would be used sandwiches.
This was not true until John Roberts made it true.
This is what leaders look like
Not even smart enough to somehow twist this as something Communists don't do. Because there's not a chance in hell he could define the difference between Communism, Socialism and Fascism - they're no different to him than "low IQ" and "failing".
"Cockroaches" the exact literal term most used in Rwanda by Hutu ultranationalists against Tutsis in the lead up to when they killed hundreds of thousands of them in a matter of weeks. Also used by Begin to describe Palestinians, "drugged cockroaches in a bottle."
NEW VIDEO: President Donald Trump announced he will issue a new executive order to get rid of mail-in voting and to control the counting of ballots in 2026. This is not a political stunt. It is an existential threat to democracy. I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6K4...
"This is John Barron". You almost had it.

How Trumpism is like Stalinism. A thread. 🧵🧵🧵 Many people make valid comparisons of Trumpism to Nazism. But I think MAGA authoritarianism bears more similarities to Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union – ruthless, paranoid, dishonest and determined to climb into every aspect of the lives of his people.
I am a firm believer that whatever was said between Trump and Putin (whose English is good enough) privately in The Beast for several minutes without witnesses is the real reason for this whole last minute summit. And I am not so sure it was just about Ukraine.
I love mayo. I always have. I ate mayonnaise sandwiches as a kid (and you could tell). But FFS, my condiment shelf is deep. Just when you thought this dipshit couldn't get any shallower...
Slow down ICE by visiting local businesses, speaking to small business owners or store managers, and distributing signs that do two things: 1) Clearly mark "Staff Only" areas to create safe zones where ICE can’t legally operate without a signed judicial warrant.
Kinda sounds like a typical day for POTUS
I'm going to publish the entirety of an exchange I just had with the press office of the DOJ. I want you to see how they are talking about truth.
That would kinda be like a government official deliberately falsifying something like national jobs numbers or the impact of tax breaks. Or am I confused?!
This is beyond appalling. If she has to pay for her special needs then why can't I get a refund on all my school taxes since I don't have a kid?!
holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second
So he's essentially admitting anything DOJ would release is anything but credible. Or am I reading that wrong?! 🙄
🚨NEW: This is what all networks should do! MSNBC fact checks Trump live during his press conference. The REAL crime stats are put on screen as he reads out his made up figures.
Crime rates in all three cities have gone down, and in Baltimore at astounding levels, in part by treating crime as a public health crisis, rather than a "need more cops" crisis. popular.info/p/the-secret...
Tom Cotton's home state, Arkansas, has Little Rock. Little Rock is the United States' 4th most violent city. It has a *much* higher crime rate than Washington, D.C. This is just the white supremacy talking.
A $200 million ballroom, and now this. He doesn’t ever plan on leaving.
Opinion | I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump. But if he cannot stop Benjamin Netanyahu from annexing Gaza, I will have no choice but to vote for him again to send a message to Democrats.
In the past few weeks, the former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert has referred to "ethnic cleansing" and "concentration camps" in Gaza, while a former Israeli Attny Gen, a former Israeli general, and one of Israel's most famous authors, have all said it's a genocide in Gaza.
With news that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down due to Trump’s meddling, it’s worth watching Mr. Rogers testifying to the Senate about the real value of what we’ve all lost.
1/ Important: "Epstein was actually still on the Mar-a-Lago membership logs up to 2007. ... That of course is a year after Jeffrey Epstein's arrest in Florida." So Trump didn't kick him out for many years after knowing Epstein 'stole' Virginia Giuffre from MAL in 2000. 🧵
EX GREEN BERET: “In my entire career, I never witnessed the brutality and use of indiscriminate & unnecessary force against an unarmed, starving civilian population until I was in Gaza at the hands of IDF & US contractors… without question, war crimes.”
Reposting this and a few other things for no particular reason today. Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow and the next day, too.
So you're saying Powell has two weeks left
Watch this to the end.
I'd say let's turn closed hospitals into housing for the homeless but somehow I expect that's gonna be a nonstarter.
An issue I don’t believe has been addressed regarding the deep cuts to SNAP, is how many grocery stores in low income areas will go out of business. Mom and pop, family owned markets. For many, almost all of their customers are on food assistance. The Krogers will just close their doors and move on.
it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.
Praying in the House, while preparing to vote away benefits for seniors, children, and the sick. Hypocrisy at its finest.
As a former federal employee whose career was prematurely curtailed for being insufficiently obsequious to managers who prioritized their own careers over the public interest, I relate strongly to this man's experience in a number of respects. 1/4 www.lawfaremedia.org/article/good...
The fiscal conservatives in the GOP just added $4 trillion to the deficit to give the wealthiest people on earth a tax cut. The pro-family party just took healthcare away from 17 million Americans to give ICE a bigger budget than Brazil’s military. The single most inhumane bill ever passed.
How the hell don't you endorse Mamdani? This is the kind of energy that brings in voters. It's positive, it's joyful, and it's inclusive.
I'll be calling that Kean fellow. Often.
A lot of critical districts in the greater New York area. In New Jersey and Pennsylvania alone, NJ-7 (Kean), PA-1/7/8 (Fitzpatrick, Mackenzie, Bresnahan). All swing districts. They can be reached by constituents at 202-224-3121, the US Capitol switchboard. Let them know what you think of the bill.
Cowardice won today. And no, it is not right. “We are all afraid...I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not right.” -- Sen. Lisa Murkowski. 4/14/25
The Jeopardy answer is, "What is the in thing Donald Trumlnand John Oliver agree on?"
Anyone still quibbling that this isn't fascism?
Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden: They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it. 5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.
If you use AI to create your art, your story, your whatever, I immediately know you don’t care about making things — you only care about selling them.

Does he know that the crew can take strategic naps, kinda like the guy they used to ridicule for doing just that?!
Freedumb
He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
If only we had a DOJ that would indict such offenses.
Everyone has immunity until someone else is assembling the Grand Jury.
What am I supposed to do, take the day off to play golf?!
FINALLY Democrats are putting out HARD-HITTING ads. WATCH AND SHARE: #MAGAKidnappers
20+ years ago, results of a 'War Game' set up for the Atlantic (reported by me) showed that US attacks on Iran would backfire more sweepingly than land wars in Iraq or even Vietnam. The fundamentals have not changed. DO NOT DO THIS. Or even rant about it. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

I doubt anyone will see me post, but this needs to be known... if you have a visible following please repost 💙🔥💙 Admitting he wants "his people... aka US " to behave like north Korea for Kim Jong Un.🤬

Exactly this. He's acting as an unelected Prime Minister
We're Finally On Our Own: Trump Vs. America rudepundit.blogspot.com/2025/06/were...
I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.
This is a FABULOUS interview. I'm a huge fan of Heather Cox Richardson @hcrichardson.bsky.social . www.youtube.com/live/FWjR6_q...
Given Vance's ties to Thiel and Yarvin, somehow this feels like it was always part of a bigger plan.
Brave man and a brave television station.
Hooooly shit. We've created a fake bullshit artist. No wonder human bullshit artists love it.
my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

"We are free as bodies, or not at all. And so health care is a right, one of the most basic... Dying senselessly is no act of freedom. And too many people in the USA do die senselessly because we have the wrong idea of freedom." www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.
So if Trump is meeting with these people who bribed him the most with his cryptocurrency in his "personal" capacity, then it can't be an "official act" and thereby shielded from prosecution with SCOTUS immunity if taking enormous bribes turns out to be a crime, right?
And please come visit. I'll make you a pot of Jambalaya before I show you all my "upper middle class" neighbors. 🙄🤬
Hey @timmiller.bsky.social I live in a Warren County NJ house I bought in 92. If Tom Kean Jr manages to allow me to deduct the $6000 in NJ taxes I haven't been able to deduct for 8 years it'll be the first good thing he's ever done for us.
That time in 1988 Sesame Street ripped on Donald Trump
History does not repeat itself. But sometimes it rhymes. 1978; Poland on the brink… John Paul II, first Polish Pope elected. 2025; America on the brink… Leo XIV, first American Pope elected.
