and unfortunately the people who see Trump as a Leader, a good person, honest and a good reflection of the U.S. are either sleeping at the wheel, dumb as dirt or racist White Christian Nationalists who like the vision in Project 2025. This is why we can't have nice things.
Kamala, a good candidate given way too little time to run a good campaign & resented for being given the torch. Hillary an even better candidate, should have been President. The U.S. and international relations would be in much better shape now. The people that Trump appeals to are not my people.
of course they can... and I am listening to many of them... and this is a concern for them... so I am mentioning it... not because they can't take care of themselves... but because I read the post and responded. do you see how this works?
idealism is great. but people want real plans in their politicians. and I never brought up healthcare... he's talking about all kinds of things... and I didn't say I disagreed with everything. don't make assumptions and overreaching remarks "that the problem with Dems"...lol
yet I don't know that he is. many of his ideas seem wholly unrealistic. He also needs to do a better job of dealing with the concerns of the Jewish population in New York.
lol what the hell is wrong with Mark Rutte??
Tammy Duckworth BARELY holds back her naked (justified) contempt in this clapback and the whole thing is 🤌🏼
Such a touching moment: Rep. Jim Clyburn held Rep. Brittany Pettersen’s baby during a press conference on gun violence prevention. A memory to cherish, ‘I can’t wait to tell him one day that Rep. Clyburn was holding him.’ 🥹🧿💙🍼🙌🏽 #LeadershipWithHeart #JimClyburn #BrittanyPettersen #EndGunViolence
Russia has abducted thousands of Ukrainian children, plunging families into every parent's worst nightmare. Now, Trump funding cuts threaten to close a Yale center that helps identify these children and bring them home. Please consider donating to help continue this work: sph.yale.edu/give-hrl
In addition to the National Guard that were not needed... the Marines are now coming to #LosAngeles. Make no mistake... this is a test case for ignoring the sovereignty of blue states and practicing for #martial_law. Stay peaceful but use your voice.
This is such bullshit and all pretext to hit back at Newsom, Bass and California. The feds are not currently needed or wanted. The LAPD and Sheriff's Dept. can handle the small pockets of violence as the overwhelming majority of protests are peaceful. The midterms cannot come soon enough.
by #ABC current metrics I guess they would have also suspended #TerryMoran for calling #Hitler a #Nazi
interesting timing... and I don't believe in coincidences when evil is at work. ICE could have planned their raids any time... but they do it the week before the national #NoKings demonstrations on the 14th. Wanna bet the national guard will still conveniently be in L.A.?
The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.
When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.
How quickly can Thiel help get Trump out so he an put his couch boy in?

“It’s hard to see how Trump would have acted any differently if he were a Russian asset than how he has acted in the first 100 days of his second term.” Huh. You don't say. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/26/u...
WATCH: “You’re saying you revere a time when their ancestors were in bondage.” In NC, @davidjoy.bsky.social powerfully explains why it’s wrong to remove a “compromise plaque” without public input, and why revering the confederacy is offensive. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DI9vdzA...
Joel Webbon isn’t preaching - he’s projecting. This is what happens when fragile men get ghosted too many times and find God in their resentment. “Be quiet or be alone” is the mating call of a man no woman with self-respect would ever consider fucking.

Cannot be stated enough that Donald Trump sued “60 Minutes” based on the false claim that they didn’t publish a problematic answer Kamala Harris gave to a question about Israel. Of course, the truth is they DID publish the answer and the answer was also totally fine. Textbook frivolous lawsuit.
but not of it is a surprise... not one bit of it.
"We can react by seeing all of this for what it is, and naming it by name: incipient state terror. We can react by associating ourselves with others who are repressed before we are. Only in solidarity do we affirm law."
A day after Russia committed war crimes in Ukraine, and Trump is again attacking Zelenskyy – sounding indistinguishable from a commentator on Russian state TV. And repeating the Kremlin lie that Ukraine started this war. Trump casts shame on himself and our country.
Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.
Closely inspecting the list of tariffs/countries posted by the White House, Trump did not put tariffs on Russia. Ukraine's tariff is 10%, the EU's is 20%, and every American ally is on the list. But not Russia.
Bingo
the amount of glee with which Leavitt does a horrible job make me cringe.
truth
Trump and Vance showed a level of crassness and vulgarity never seen before in the White House with a foreign leader and guest. They were the worst kind of ignorant disgusting bully. They’ve turned our nation into a global embarrassment. And a global threat.
DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza. But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.
To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor
Putin’s pumpkin-faced towel boy is gutting our national intelligence capabilities. I wonder why he’s Russian to do it.
Elon Musk literally bought himself the fucking presidency of the United States of America. And what that UNELECTED fucking psychopath is doing to this country is absolutely batshit motherfucking, game over, in-fucking-sane. So that means that we need to get motherfucking LOUD. Right the FUCK now.
This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
Here’s the money line in the acting AG’s letter firing the prosecutors who worked on the Trump case. Leadership does not trust you in “implementing the president’s agenda.” DOJ supports and defends the Constitution, not the president’s agenda.
Are eggs cheaper yet?

Not a single Republican senator has dared express any concerns about Hegseth's inexperience, allegations of sexual assault, corruption, drinking problems, misogyny or his dangerous policy positions. They're terrified of Trump's wrath and Elon's money. They'd confirm a bar stool if he told them to.
I'm still surprised by how rampant ignorance is
The husband of Republican senator Deb Fischer just refused to shake hands or make eye contact with Vice President Harris. The level of class you can expect from MAGA.
Now do Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard & Kash Patel.
"Trumpomuskovia" is a word I introduced in an essay about some historical moments that might help us to understand the coming reality. The better we see the new regime, the more clearly we might also see its fractures and weaknesses. snyder.substack.com/p/why-trumpo...
Good morning!☕️✌️
When you can't let the cat go out because he might invade Poland
🚨🚨🚨 Last night, Sen. Mike Lee wrote a blueprint for destroying Social Security. Lee’s thread was quickly amplified by Elon Musk, who Donald Trump has put in charge of slashing our earned benefits. This is a declaration of war against seniors, people with disabilities, and the American public.
This is always where this was going …..
Well said.
RFK Jr. is a fraud. Always has been.
We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media,” Mr. Patel said. “Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped…. www.nytimes.com/2023/12/05/u...
Kash Patel is as dangerous a pick for the FBI as Matt Gaetz was at DOJ.
So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.
Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains
you know who talked about non-stop?? Kamala Harris. Please don'r pretend otherwise.
Exactly this www.nytimes.com/2024/11/24/o...
Well this seems bad.
it doesn't get any better than this 😍

I’m finding the community here far more engaging and respectful, while still wickedly funny. Happy to be migrating to these friendlier skies.
If true, this is disqualifying. Full stop.
Appearing on a Christian nationalist podcast last night, Pete Hegseth said he's creating a system of "classical Christian schools" to provide recruits for an underground army that will eventually launch an "educational insurgency" across the nation. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...
They say the cover up is always worse.
It’s not a Russian spy ring. It’s a Justice Department graphic showing Venmo payments to girls by Gaetz and Greenberg.

Taegan Goddard makes a good point: Clearly the ethics report doesn’t exonerate Matt Gaetz or Republicans would release it. If it only contained the already-leaked allegations, they’d release it. But they voted NOT to release it, so that’s says a lot, no? 😏
I believe we will be able to recharge our batteries here.
