The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
Why report anything at all that the president "said"? See Jake tappers book about dementia in presidents first
“I refuse to accept this is normal.” - JB Pritzker. Amen, governor. Amen.
This is who she is. The only thing that surprises me at all is Megan McCain failure to see it and call it out too
That's hilarious, thanks for the post!
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
The only redeeming quality of any of 2025 is how much material could go into an episode of Veep. Comedic gold
Maybe ICE shouldn’t have lowered their standards for new recruits.
Frog and Toad were sad for a while.
Nope, he's golfing again on our dime. Sorry
I just saw someone refer to rfk jr as microwaved mel gibson & i can’t unsee it.
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
Don't hold your breath
The sad and scary part is that he is right about this.
Corporations socialize their losses and privatize their gains.
Had a terrible thought - Trump is faking an illness, just like he faked his assassination attempts, to get sympathy, get people talking about anything other than Epstein and authoritarianism, and to reel his base and Republican legislators back in. We are stuck with him forever. 🫠
Not the only thing. I'll also remember her "make em squeal!" email newsletters. (Iowans here, and she truly did send those).
Instead of arguing with us peasants why not post about how ice raids are bad or fascism is dangerous or gun violence against kids is horrible, and what we can do about any of those things, or how you are donating to politicians or NPOs - or starting your own! - to help? JFC get over yourself
I think that Klein has guests that he never should showcase at times, and then he uses intellectual "kid gloves" with them. Not helpful at all. (Plus I'm sorry but the way he talks is creepy 😬)
Yesterday, ICE agents detained firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire. As a firefighter and paramedic, I know firsthand that in an emergency, every second counts, and politics should never come before saving lives.
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
I agree but in a different way - I would stay, pretend to do the "bad" assignment, and undermine it. Fight from within, people!
Please don't stop. The more well known and loud voices that we have, the easier it is to convince others to open their eyes
Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
For those asking, this is an ammosexual.
He's going to be dead and it will be JD, or jd backed by tech bros will get trump disqualified for some reason and it will be JD. And God help us when it's JD, he's Trump with a fake smile, more billionaire support and influence, and zero morals or loyalty. Trump sucks but he tells what he thinks
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here
I hope I outlive that orange fuck stain and get to celebrate his death.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
I wish that they would just let us to decide what to do with our own bodies. Oh, wait....🤬
Kid Rock: I will no longer sell my music in California. Scott Baio: I will no longer act in California. Governor Newsom: My policies are working.
I got to talk to the delightful Jodie Sweetin, who was on Full House and Fuller House, and is super woke and awesome. We talked about life and current events. I know this post won’t get many likes, cuz I’m promoting a podcast episode. But I gotta post’em. Fuck me, right?
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
So heartbreaking to me that you can get them and we Americans can't
I would compliment Trump. Everyone lies sometimes, Trump lies always so NBD to compliment him
The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.
In my state, we don't get election day off work, so it is really hard for voters. Also elderly/homebound.
This is amazing
Hahaha how do we believe a convicted felon - like Trump? How can they not seen how hypocritical they are in revering Trump
“I will tell you a story while we are waiting,” said Frog. “Oh good,” said Toad.
Yes. Yes, we do know how insane and infuriating it is to live here now.
Here, fixed it.
Rep. Nunn is a POS. He's not a good person, arrogant (I'm in Iowa, he was at my son's cub scouts local parade) and his politics are horrific, and he doesn't represent his constituents at all. Now is not the moment for being bipartisan with people like this.
It's almost hard to imagine anyone actually thinking, most people don't want me so I'll cheat to win. Who TF does that? What type of human? 😱
If you need to steal, cheat or cancel elections to stay in power, it’s because you know how much everyone hates your guts.
He lost me at his treatment of Anna Faris. Which is too bad bc I love his acting, especially P&R😭
Welker plays Rubio a clip of him saying in 2022 that "you can't cut deals with guys" like Putin 😬
Welp.

Saturday Afternoon Humor 🤪😜🤣
Fox News falls for it hook, line, and sinker.
How about that? A victory for people who actually read.
Yes, yes it is. Just don't get up on their face doing it
“Putin would eat you for lunch.” Today, exactly that happened.
Peter thiel losing his ass would be priceless
Bless these Alaskans!
For this to be on fox, it must have been REAL bad
I never realized Putin was such a small man until today. Explains a lot
TG for them. The only thing keeping me hopeful is seeing protests and people yelling at ICE
ANCHORAGE…
Hitler's path: he exploited political & economic instability in Germany to gain power & dismantle democratic institutions. He ignored laws, outlawed opposition, suppressed civil liberties, established a personality cult around himself and took control over all aspects of German life.
“If Toad looks funny in his bathing suit,” said the snake, “then I, for one, want to see him.”
Toad went to Frog’s house. He found a note on the door. The note said, “Dear Toad, I am not at home. I went out. I want to be alone.”
Let's regain control of the federal government and stop fascism and THEN act on our morals please
In 2011 I warned that if Donald got to the WH he would never leave peacefully. Politics journalists err in assuming that Trump is a politician with an unusual POV when in fact he's a 3rd generation career white-collar criminal, a con man with no conscience who is appallingly ignorant.
I can't believe she had four cousins willing to marry her. #SheShed
Not just people - school children
Toad and Frog went down to the river. “What a day for a swim,” said Frog. “Yes,” said Toad. “I will go behind these rocks and put on my bathing suit.”
This is what my emails to my boss look like when a client claims that I am late on a project and I have to explain the timeline. 😂
Talarico owns Will Cain so hard that he has to tap out of their interview based on "time"
A list of things to do today: Wake Up Eat Breakfast Get dressed Go to Frog’s house Take walk with Frog Eat lunch Take nap Play game with Frog Eat supper Go to sleep
I remember the worst day for crime in Washington D.C.'s history and whose fault it was.
Just saw a video by @piperformissouri.bsky.social saying that we are all getting distracted by Epstein, while Trump is busy working on fascism, and we need to refocus on the fascism over Epstein
Stephen Miller: “ D.C. is more violent than Baghdad."
“We are not afraid!” screamed Frog and Toad at the same time. Then they ran down the mountain very fast. They ran past the place where they saw the avalanche. They ran past the place where they saw the snake. They ran all the way to Toad’s house.
Welp
This latest episode is worth your time. We take a look at Umberto Eco's first seven common traits of fascism and then share, in their own words, the views of Trump, the GOP platform, and high-ranking MAGA insiders. Available for free anywhere you find podcasts. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...
Maybe you should - STFU if you don't know what it is like to have an allergy or other disability/serious medical concern? It's just common sense
Well I hope chip that whatever illness or medical issue that you have, completely bites you in the ass. My only ever ambulance ride was with my allergic 10 month old son so you can F all the off
Okay, it's also real. So I guess I'll take that as a compliment
My son loves reruns of this show 😂 I didn't even know it existed when it was actually on TV and I was his age
“I will do it tomorrow,” said Toad. “Today I will take life easy.”
The more Cuomo attacks Mamdani in a pathetic attempt to stay relevant, the more I understand all the sexual abuse charges against him. This is the height of white male entitlement. He doesn’t know when to stop. He doesn’t understand the word “No”. He can’t accept defeat.
Yeah, this is really not awesome for people, kids, parents of kids with food allergies, and it is very obvious the marketing that Reese's has been doing over the past 5 years and it sucks ass. Stop taking safe foods and poisoning them
Like them getting inducted into the military, with literally zero training
I can't find a picture but one of my favorites ever was pelosi ripping Trump's speech, meme said " when you get invited to a wedding with a cash bar" 😀
I would guess that Nancy's feeling just fine
I always drive my own car because when I’m ready to leave, I’m ready to leave
Actually/more realistically, I think that they've all joined ICE
A haiku about whether or not I want to meet up with my coworkers after work: GOD NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
