The Trump administration has been planning for weeks to send the National Guard to Chicago, two officials told CNN, as President Trump looks to expand his anti-crime agenda and crackdown on immigration in major cities across the United States. https://cnn.it/45yvNjJ
Here's the sitting president of the United States endorsing ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
People really need to just ignore Cam Newton. He lives for attention and nothing else.
16% of respondents have "a great deal of confidence in the Supreme Court". On the bright side, only 13% say climate change is "not happening". apnews.com/projects/pol...
I was 15 that year. Gives me chills thinking back to how epic that era was.
Wall Street is no longer a serious place.
BOOCKVAR: After seeing the Japan deal, we assume "$2.9 Trillion that will be taxed at 15% and that equals $435 Billion of taxes on US consumers and businesses .. For context, US companies pay about $525 Billion of corporate income taxes to the US govt." peterboockvar.substack.com/p/great-to-s...
By charging Americans 15% tax to buy Toyota, but charging GM 50+% tax to import their raw materials, Trump is *crushing US manufacturing*
I also think the mythology comes from the "elites" who fund the Democratic agenda. The liberal professional class is accustomed to knowledge, decorum, and honest debate having value in their daily interactions. But obviously that doesn't translate to politics.
This is why corporations need actual boards, not a team of sycophants. If they had spent the Cybertruck money on a Model 2 or *actual* self driving technology then they'd be doing a hell of a lot better right now.
"ending THEIR war" 🤔 How do you screw up such an easy headline? At this point it's hard to believe it's unintentional.
Amongst my peers, the ones who grew up with strict responsibilities for chores have a much better work ethic and better focus in adulthood. Seems like a win-win for parenting.
Yeah but Oklahoma has more freedom - right?
Another example of something that would have been solved LONG ago if men had to give birth.
Maurene Comey's goodbye note to SDNY colleagues:
Trump's threats to fire Jerome Powell are being covered by the US press with the wrong lens. It's not Democrats vs. Republicans or Trump vs. the Fed. This is a story about why authoritarian rulers who remove constraints on their power destroy prosperity. I explain why here:
"Five months into its unprecedented dismantling of foreign-aid programs, the Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people who need it" @hana-kiros.bsky.social, on spending $130,000 to burn food worth $800,000 www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
It didn't work for the Black woman. It might work for Trump.
Many of them truly believed that. Just one example... I had an otherwise smart coworker tell me: "say what you want about the guy, but at least the economy will probably be better".
A lot of Trump’s appeal comes down to the fact that people whose lives are boring & mediocre because they aren’t particularly bright, talented, or motivated, would very much like to hear a story in which actually it’s someone else’s fault.
History rhymes....
I'm old enough to remember when F1 gave the USA broadcast rights to ESPN for *free* because NBC backed out and nobody else wanted it.
Using animals for sport should be banned. If poor people were using animals like this it would be considered cruel or barbaric. But if rich people think it's cool then it's fine.

WTF is Jubilee?
'Vacations.' The word is 'vacations.'
Tesla share price was a result of ignorant group-think on Wall Street and delusional fanboys on Main Street.
I am fine having my blue state tax contribute to military, diplomacy, EPA, etc. But I'm sick and tired of subsidizing red states while they consistently strip away services for their residents in the name of "small government".
If blue states kept their money, they would be fine or even better off. Red states would be in deep financial trouble. Example: California is the fourth largest economy on Earth. It grows over one third of America’s vegetables and two thirds of its fruits and nuts.
Another feckless coward hiding behind his bullshit Christianity Lite. We will not make progress until we can leave this Bronze Age garbage in the past where it belongs.
She's not helping her reputation as a whiny brat. Her take is nonsense, but if she wants to change it then win.
Automatic... What a shame.
"Imagine no religion"
He wants it to end with Russia winning.
I miss those days. But I don't want to redo them.
Especially since the last two movies sucked. Just move on.
How is this an improvement over Tibs?
What could go wrong?
Agree with everything in this piece. But what happens when R voters are told by state propaganda that this bill is actually *not* responsible for their economic hardship, and it's somehow the fault of Dems? Will they believe their own eyes or the propaganda? www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Up there talking like he isn't part of the problem. Get somebody with some outrage. Give me AOC, or Murphy, or Bernie, or anyone with a pulse.
I spent months on this video about people worshiping ChatGPT, please watch and leave a comment and share if you can!! My YouTube channel is still so small that I lose money making these videos rn ðŸ˜. Every little bit helps!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKCy...
Yet he won reelection and he's taking over the country - so where is the downside for him?
It's BULLSHIT and you know it! This is severe normalizing. Stop it.
For half of America he's right.
"Two weeks" is Trump's favorite unit of time, @shawnmccreesh.bsky.social notes. Tax plans, health care policies, evidence of conspiracy theories, the ISIS fight, new coal mines, infrastructure plans—all were at one point riddles he promised to solve in about two weeks www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/w...
Excellent, beautiful, tragic, and true by @dannagal.bsky.social. Gift link: Holy Water Couldn’t Save My Husband. MAHA Wouldn’t Have Either. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/o...
Or it's because he's an outcast and he won't stay anywhere that he isn't being worshipped.
I'm in tech/finance and the ideas being planned in my company would displace a LOT of people. It's scary. I'm hoping I can grow my nest egg enough to have a soft landing, but Trump is doing his best to destroy that.
Yes, they really believe this. They are extremely close-minded and live in a bubble where adherence to this dogma is a requirement to staying in the old boys club.
I'm not dismissing anything. But pursuing a Left version of "stop the steal" isn't going to fix the fact that our citizens are failing spectacularly.
Also the MAGA cult is constantly moving the goal posts. If the MAGA supporters aren't prospering yet it's because of Biden, or immigrants, or unfair trade, or the radical left, or.... The list of scapegoats never ends.
Now we're going with "rigged elections" just like MAGA? Face facts... In an educated society Trump wouldn't have made it through the first round of primary voting. But this country is stupid and so fascism is free to spread like wildfire.
It will work. It always works. That's why MAGA is running the country. Americans have no critical thinking skills.
The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.
Do you want MAGA to win? Do you want fascism to completely take over the USA? If yes then keep flying those Palestinian flags. Tired of these single issues voters destroying a functioning society. And you can fuck off.

They were marching against "policies"? You guys are clearly too weak for this. DO BETTER.
Ah, so that's your real reason. You should have just started with that. Also you can fuck off.
Let me state this as simply as possible.... If you want MAGA to keep winning elections, then keep flying the Palestinian flag.
I would love to see some reporting in the near future about what all this mess does for recruiting. Maybe nothing, but I'm curious.
Our country's top officials all sitting at a fascist parade while a new war breaks out in the Middle East. Imagine if Obama did this.
"Fortunate Son"?? Is this for real?? What hero directed them to play this during Donny Bone Spur's fascist birthday parade?
Is the drone footage from today?
CNBC is so fucking depressing now. Audience-captured by the MAGA fanboys on Wall Street who think fascism won't come for them.
Need a fact check on this
Love the ANDOR reference. Here's another.
I'm so f'ing tired of people saying the MAGA fascist actions are "distractions". None of the shit they do are distractions - they genuinely want to do ALL of it, even the outrageous, ridiculous things that the tiny little brains of D.C. Dems can't comprehend.
I remember this at the time... They were treated as a couple crazy guys with some fringe views. Media completely missed the opportunity to show how big the problem really was.
Why isn't this the main story on your page??
It's absolutely fucking matters. Wake up.
Propaganda works
By far the best news of 2025
The visual here is horrible. A few small American flags with giant Palestinian flags dominating the screen... WTF are we doing?? This is a commercial gift wrapped for right wing media and GOP commercials. Another huge own goal by the Left. Shit like this is why we lose.
I'm not telling anyone what to do. But if they truly want to support freedom and democracy then they need to stop self-sabotaging their movement and see the bigger picture.
Then they should be flying the American flag today.
These people flying Palestinian flags are not helping. Today is not about them, it's about fighting for democracy here in the USA.
Today, let freedom ring.
If I hadn't already cancelled my sub, this would have done it.
One silver lining of my WW2 vet grandfather not being around anymore is that he won't need to see this disgusting display.
Isn't it a little awkward that they're labeling it a meme coin? Like even they know it's just a garbage fad.
I'm a little surprised it's "only" worth $275MM
CNN has a paywall now? That's unfortunate.
How is horse racing still a thing? Anyone participating is an asshole at best, or just cruel and sadistic.
So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.
Of course you're 100% correct. But this schadenfreude is too damn delicious.
"The most powerful man in business" would only be written by people who don't understand business.
Thats it? $5MM is nothing for GM.
Former Capitol Police officer: I would love nothing more than to move on from the worst day of my life. But as current officials attempt to rewrite that day… and pardoned criminals are making runs for office… the true patriots have become "nothing but afterthoughts."
The free exercise clause allows people to practice their religion if it doesn't harm others. It doesn't say anything about "people are free to not believe bullshit" but maybe we need that too.
"Religion" means a cult has grown large enough to have political power.
"I think there's no God" is not religion or an association. Is there an association of people who don't think the tooth fairy is real?
Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"
Too bad he's a PED cheat.
Stunning. @acyn.bsky.social
Who is the moron who asked this question?
So talking in person is ok, but going on "their" TV is bad? Why not use all forms of communication?
Well good luck with that. 😄 "Moderate" channels don't get any eyeballs these days. Dem strategy has been dreadful for decades and they've made countless mistakes but Pete going on Fox is not one of them.
He wants us all working in factories to serve the rich people.
