"Find a different job." - Joni Ernst's conscience
When you put people who hate government in charge of government, they will make sure the government doesn't work so they can say "see, government doesn't work."

"Find a different job." - Joni Ernst's conscience
From CDC Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases resignation letter: The nation’s health security is at risk and is in the hands of people focusing on ideological self-interest.
Um, great? Doing the bare minimum required by your job is worthy of praise, I guess.
The people who signed this letter are PATRIOTS
And mocked a disabled person
Sending troops into US cities against their will. Strong-arming corporations and extracting gifts in exchange for tariff exemptions. Calling on state governments to gerrymander in his favor. Trump is the "big government" nightmare conservatives have always warned us about.
Because hardened, violent criminals often look for day labor jobs at Home Depot.
A bigger question...why are these grown women letting someone else dictate what they can wear?
It will be great when the next Dem President rips this all out and donates the materials to underprivileged community pools.
Holy shit. This legit gave me chills. Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote. WHITE WOMEN, this is the model. We have more power than others. We are the last to be silenced. We have a responsibility to SPEAK so others are HEARD.
I'm sure all the free-market Rs,the ones who like to call Dems "socialists," will be marching in the streets, yes?
Even if you grant them for the sake of argument that Harris and Trump would have been the same on Gaza, (which is nonsense) LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE IS WORSE.
Remember when Obama bowed slightly to a foreign leader and Fox News was apoplectic for weeks?
It was the king of Saudi Arabia

A ruthless 16 year KGB veteran Lt. Colonel is about to meet one-on-one with a dull-witted reality TV gameshow host to negotiate the fate of Ukraine. Without Ukraine's leader. What could go wrong?

Don't give him any ideas. 😄😭
The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Release the Epstein files.

Trump's new Treasury Secretary?
Are you still talking about the BIGGEST political scandal of all-time EPSTEIN & how the president of the United States is connected to the most notorious child-sex-trafficker ever AND is covering up his own involvement???!!! Good. #RememberTheUnderageVICTIMS 💔
Wait...didn't Donald say he would end this with a phone call on day one of his administration?
If it’s the Golden Age & everything is great & the economy is booming & Trump has ended all wars & slayed inflation & everyone is happy & drug prices are down & his approval is at 71% & everyone hates Dems, why would they need to do mid-decade gerrymandering to hold the House?
Would that solve the problem? Yes Will it happen? No
When you can't win on ideas, rig the game.
R solution will be to simply stop having town halls. #headinsand
Democrat here. I would vote to end gerrymandering nationwide in a heartbeat. Let's compete on ideas and policies.
Here’s a 🔥🔥exchange between me and Mick Mulvaney during @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's brilliant interview of Mulvaney on Al Jazeera's Head to Head. The whole episode is worth a watch, and you can find it on @aljazeera.com's YouTube channel.
Sir, a follow-up question if I could...what is a 1500% drop? Walk me through the math on that.
“The president is risking material economic harm through his politicization of the BLS and of official government data,” said Michael Strain, an economist at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
The Justice Department has the Epstein files. Right now. Everything they’re doing now is a distraction. Just RELEASE THEM.
These up-is-down times have had me (occasionally) agreeing with Fuentes, Liz Cheney and Elon Musk. Whacky.
I love this man. (Not the orange one)
Sounds like a great time to cut scientific research funding.
I am in the prime demographic to be a Tesla customer. I would not drive a Tesla if you gave it to me for free and paid me to drive it.
🎯 100% baffling.
The primary demographic to buy a Tesla, of which I am one, will NEVER buy a Tesla.
July 4th 2025 will go down as the Pickett’s Charge of Trumpism. J.D. Vance is wrong. America is still an idea with tremendous power. open.substack.com/pub/lincolns...
Thank you for this.
Donald Trump gives people permission to be their worst selves. His politics are not just representative, they are generative. His words seep into people’s souls and slowly corrode whatever potential for human decency ever resided there.
One of the reasons we elected a President who speaks at a 4th grade level.
So....you did journalism. Whacky! Sad that that's rare.
Then the breeze shifted, and he decided to delay them another 90 days.
Is he a Republican? (kidding)
Donald should consult Susan Collins, the queen of the sternly written letter
From the conservative CATO Institute.
Great job

She actually looks better than normal here.
Raskin: "I found the preamble to this big ugly bill. 'We the billionaires and our king, in order to deform and sicken our union, establish injustice, ensure domestic servility, weaken our people's defenses, undermine the general welfare, and have staggering debt servitude for eternity ... '"
I am the prime demographic to buy a Tesla. I wouldn't drive one if you gave it to me for free.
Good for him for not wilting under the disappointed assistant principal stare.
As the person who wrote it, I can assure you it was. Clearly.
Sad. Condolences to his friends and family.
It's fine! If you don't have anything to hide, why are you worried? And when the Dems control government? ........
Because Donald is the arbiter of what's appropriate. 😄
To scare dogs.
Mr. Hamill - I was 9 years old when Star Wars came out. I was gobsmacked. It is a core memory for me. Thank you, sincerely.
Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.
Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.
But nobody knew until he hitched his wagon to Donald.
Tesla will NEVER recover from Elon's foray into Trumpland. Never.
Pretty bad when I'm more inclined to believe this guy than my own president.
“I personally was pretty surprised, actually, at how efficient the government was,” Sahil Lavingia told NPR's Juana Summers.
Trump & Republicans’ “One Big Beautiful Bill” would be one of the largest wealth transfers from the working class to the wealthy in U.S. history. But how would it affect YOU? We built a calculator. Plug in your info to see what it’d mean for your finances. www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...

Despite an apparent ceasefire and claims of a "spectacular military success," the question remains: Why did Trump really bomb Iran? Here's my view.
Accurate.
Smart. More countries should do this.
What is going through Rubio's brain as he watches the back of Trump's goofy head? a) "Dear lord...what is he going to say?" b) "I sure hope this was all worth the price of my integrity" c) "How did I get here?" d) All of the above
This goes hard, but the metaphor is on point
Lil' Marco has sold his soul. We all know how Faustian bargains end.
Rubio understands. Look at his eyes.
Oh.
They will rationalize their support regardless. Cults are hard. And admitting you are in a cult is near impossible.
Seriously not a connection? Seriously?
