More like addicted to lies.
Ha! Maybe this is why Donald Trump disappeared for four days. 😂
I wonder whether part of the plan may be that when at least some states refuse to implement his EO, congressional Republicans will, in extreme bad faith, rely on that non-implementation to refuse to certify the election results.
Aren’t they lovely!
Yes.
At the very end…her two *other* little teeth! 😊
Ho-lee SHIT.
😂😂😂
This is one reason why I love Ukrainians. They *care* for their animals. Even in the midst of the horrific suffering caused by war, they care. ❤️✊✊❤️
My God.
Good. More of this, please.
Here’s hoping it’s nothing major!
😍
Every day we get a new scandal that should be career-ending for people working at the highest levels of government but we see this stuff so often the public barely flinches. Today, we learn DHS isn't keeping text message records for its leaders americanoversight.org/american-ove...
Congressional Dems are mostly useless, I hate to say.
✊
Illinois Governor Pritzker is and has been walking the walk, too!
😂👍
The more appropriate term is probably “extortionate.”
I believe that one of the rules for surviving authoritarian rule that gets omitted is, “Leave if you can.” Most us cannot, but we should absolutely wish well to those who can.
It’s insane!
Absolutely shitty framing by The Washington Post. Truly shameful.
Thank you. I needed that. 😊
I cannot convince my husband to wear mask. 😩
This regime is, in fact, composed of total dipshits.
🤢🤢🤢
I missed that. Thanks! 😂
Agreed, and also why only *male* footballers?

The U.S. Attorney General must embody justice, not sell it off for gifts. Demand oversight. Demand accountability. Demand leaders who obey the laws they swear to uphold. Share this. Don’t let corruption hide in plain sight. Demand Bondi resign! #PamBondi #Corruption #JusticeForAll
Really disturbing how NBC conflates “immigrants” with “unauthorized population” here.
Patience, Grasshopper. That particular betrayal and shame will no doubt be upon us in due course.
😂👍
Sleeping with an underaged person is either rape or, at best, statutory rape.
This is excellent.
To everyone looking ahead for the redlines, they’re in the rearview. We have military in the streets, concentration camps, erasure of history, election fuckery, abandonment of due process, a Gestapo, an authoritarian leader, an impotent Congress, an obeisant SCOTUS, and an asleep populace.
We have officially entered the”papers, please” phase of authoritarian rule.
One of the biggest cultural issues we have is that no major media or journalistic institutions have been reinforcing norms of what things *should* look like. That corruption isn’t normal, that cronyism isn’t normal, that lies and scandals should be punished, that incompetence is disqualifying.
Is the a mockup of his corruption plane from Qatar?
Wow. Nice!
I’d add the mayor of Boston to the list.
Cheered on and enabled by the Republican Party and right-wing media. This isn’t solely a Trump problem.
Yes!
We are making our beautiful world uninhabitable.
Honestly, the shame and embarrassment are a daily occurrence for this American.
Lovely photo!
This ✊

New in PN: Don't listen to centrist Democrats about crime "The right response to Trump’s authoritarianism isn’t to say 'maybe he has a point.' It’s to attack him and his allies for their dishonesty, their thuggishness, and their failures. That’s how Democrats avoid looking weak."
This is CNN, a channel I really enjoy when I'm in the US. I wonder if American journalists are aware of how completely insane they look to the rest of the world. How utterly detached their narrative is from everyone else's. edition.cnn.com/2025/08/19/p...
Scroll up and down this post for the entire thread providing critical context for Trump’s use of the military in DC under the guise of countering crime. 🧵
And I’m shocked (and disgusted) by how little there is in the way of resistance.
My predominant emotion has been anger, but sometimes the sadness is overwhelming.
Another in a long list of shamefully backward moves this administration has taken that weakens American higher education.
The corruption is pervasive in the Trump regime.
If a student turned in Trump’s post in my american government intro class, he would fail for not understanding American federalism, but that’s not Trumps point anyway…his point is to undermine the constitution to seize and control power to force compliance with his will, not the law or constitution
😂👍
“strive to show solidarity”? No. In a show of solidarity.
At this point, I want Zelensky to show up shirtless and wearing flip flops.🩴
Right. And every Democratic Senator voted for him. Every, single one.
I am perpetually in awe of the grace and forgiveness that Black Americans accord White Americans.
Every Democratic Senator voted to confirm this jackhole. Every, single one.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
“Vladimir” He thinks Putin is his buddy.
💯
Most definitely!
Trump never looks as happy as he does when he’s rubbing elbows and shaking hands with fellow despots.
#Caturday PSA: I ❤️ kittens. I rescue & foster kittens. I post kitten pics. But I wish for fewer kittens. If you love kittens, PLEASE help support local trap, neuter, return (TNR) efforts. Vulnerable kittens suffer terribly: 75% born outside never see adulthood😿 Support your local #TNR warriors:
Help us spread the word about how organizations can navigate politicized government investigations: share.protectdemocracy.org/toolkit/4642...

In fairness, we really don’t have an American President right now.
How could I not! Happy Birthday! 🎈
Can we please for the love of God use “give” instead of “gift” as a verb?
I feel this to my bones.
it bears constant repetition. the conservative claim that crime is rampant in cities like dc, ny, la, etc is best translated as "i saw a black person." its the same mindset we saw embodied in white flight in the 60s and 70s. scared ass white people see one black person, and think "crime."
😂👍 Also the entire political party that has enabled him.
That’s right.
I desperately wish that I could disagree, but I cannot.

Also appalling is his open corruption:<> Trump normalized the grift. Vance will take advantage of it.
Oh.
Public corruption harms everyday people and undermines democracy. Congress can do something about it — but the public needs to demand action. bit.ly/4mbQKqv
No. Just no.
Anyone else have a cat who leaves you alone as long as you’re sitting down but MUST BE CARRIED AS TODDLER as soon as you stand up? #cats #catsofbluesky #catsofbsky
Not just Fox. All of media. The entire Republican Party. And nearly all of the Democratic Party.
😂
".. three and a half billion dollars in Presidential profits — even though my accounting is necessarily approximate — is a dizzying sum. .. he treats his public office as personal property, as an asset that is his to exploit as if he owned it."
It’s only been ONE DAY and I’m already tired of hearing white people explain why a few hundred armed, trained killers might make the public feel safer. You know which “public” they’re talking about. Gonna be a long week.
For a brief time, I thought that we had corrected course.
😂
He lies as easily as he breathes.
Don’t let this die. Keep elevating this.
What do Musk-linked roles, dark money and undisclosed stock sales reveal about Trump’s second-term officials? We're breaking down our latest reporting in a live virtual discussion on Wednesday, Aug. 13, at 4 p.m. ET. RSVP below 👇
Very true.
Clearly not us. 😩
I hope so. So many people forgot how awful Trump’s first term was that I worry they’ll forget or minimize the threats if we do manage to get past them.
The legal profession has not covered itself in glory in these darks times. Shameful capitulation to a tyrant.
