This is unacceptable. People are literally being crushed to death for basic survival, and yet the world watches while aid is insufficient. Immediate action isn’t optional—it’s a moral obligation.

This is unacceptable. People are literally being crushed to death for basic survival, and yet the world watches while aid is insufficient. Immediate action isn’t optional—it’s a moral obligation.
Exactly. You don’t need a medical degree to see that his behavior and decisions are alarming. Common sense tells us this is beyond normal—and the country is paying the price.
Phillip: The final point from my conservative friends at the table. Since when are conservatives cheerleading for tax increases? Since when is it okay for one man to decide that every person in the United States has to pay a higher tax, and he never has to go through congress to do it?
This isn’t governance, it’s autocracy. One man unilaterally raising taxes while bypassing Congress isn’t conservative—it’s power abuse, and anyone cheering it should rethink their principles.
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
Exactly! It’s terrifying that abuse, threats, and lies are being treated as normal behavior. Propagandists sugarcoat it, but make no mistake—this is authoritarian, and it’s a direct attack on the people.
Finally—a check on this reckless, inhumane agenda. Undocumented people deserve due process, not a fast track to deportation.
Exactly. Troops can’t stop hurricanes, wildfires, or floods. Investing in prevention, infrastructure, and climate action would actually protect people—everything else is just theater
Welch: The people that elected Donald Trump are the people that he's punishing the most with this stuff. And you guys, if a democratic president was doing this, would be going bananas. You guys would lose your minds.
Exactly! And yet Trump’s supporters excuse it, cheer it, and call it genius. If the roles were reversed, there’d be endless outrage—but hypocrisy and blind loyalty shield him from accountability.
Exactly. When lying becomes strategy, facts no longer matter. The problem isn’t just the lies—it’s that enough people will swallow them without question.
Exactly—posting troops doesn’t solve homelessness. Real action would be housing, services and support, not militarizing people just because it looks like ‘doing something.’
“Wow, that’s such a big milestone! 🎉 You should be so proud of yourself—you’ve worked hard to get here. It’s natural to feel sad about leaving behind teachers who inspired and supported you, that just shows how meaningful your journey was. This is just the beginning I’m really proud of you.
There are more guns than people in the US. Another deadly school shooting and all some politicians offer is thoughts and prayers. Stop voting for these pro gun politicians who think gun rights are more important than young lives.
Exactly. ‘Thoughts and prayers’ won’t stop bullets. We need leaders who value children’s lives over gun lobby money, or this cycle will never end.
White House official Lindsey Halligan on the Smithsonian: "The president wants to see more positivity and more patriotism ... 98% of the population should not be be forced to accommodate or adjust their morals to make less than 2% of the population comfortable."
Patriotism isn’t about silencing minorities to make the majority comfortable. True American values mean protecting everyone’s rights—especially those of the 2%.
"The media seems to have accepted Leavitt’s 'frequent handshaking' diagnosis. But photos from last Saturday showed Trump with bruising on his left hand too. Are we to believe he’s double-fisting his handshakes now?"
If bruises on both hands are just from ‘handshakes,’ then either Trump’s shaking hands with gorillas or the media is shaking hands with nonsense.
Lori Chavez-DeRemer on Portland: "Oregonian, Americans, they want sanctuary states for themselves, and they want to be safe. We are a nation of law and order and I would expect we'll see a crackdown on a lot of other cities that are not following the law."
Wanting safety isn’t the same as wanting crackdowns. People want communities invested in housing, jobs, and real security—not political stunts that criminalize immigrants and erode trust.
BERMAN: End EV credit- underwater. Boost Medicaid work requirements- underwater. Increase border wall spending- underwater. Increase detention center spending- underwater. End solar, wind incentives- underwater. Reduce SNAP benefits- underwater JOHNSON: I'm not buying it. Polls can be manipulated
Classic dodge—when the data doesn’t fit their agenda, they claim the polls are fake. Funny how they only trust polls when they think it flatters them.
Phang: These Texas state reps were representing their constituents’ best interests. Just because Republicans didn’t like it doesn’t mean they did anything wrong. In fact, they were doing a better job than the Republicans. Why? Because Republicans in Texas are only doing what Trump tells them to do.
Exactly. Actual representation means listening to constituents, not following Trump’s orders. When loyalty to one man trumps the needs of the people, democracy loses.
NJ AG Platkin: 40+ years ago, Reagan signed into law the Victims of Crime Act, because we as a nation were not supporting victims… And yet here we are, for the first time ever, with an administration saying: unless you bend the knee… we’re not going to fund your victim services.
Exactly. Victims didn’t create political games—they deserve support, not extortion. Weaponizing funding for services against them is beyond cruel; it’s morally bankrupt.
Right—he can’t handle justice, climate, or basic plumbing. Some people just can’t deal with responsibility at any level.
Exactly. That’s the difference—Biden respects justice enough to let it play out, while Trump fears it because justice has always been his enemy.
REPORTER: Why are troops stationed here at Union Station and at the National Mall instead of areas where crime is higher? JD VANCE: Crime is actually extremely high here at Union Station. You have vagrants.
Calling unhoused people ‘vagrants’ isn’t crime prevention, it’s cruelty. Troops on the Mall won’t solve poverty, housing, or safety—they’re just there to make politicians feel secure while ignoring real issues.
Absolutely. The Court has been reshaped to shield corruption, not stop it. The only way to fix that is with overwhelming turnout—so decisive that no amount of manipulation can hide the will of the people.
BURCHETT: It disgusts me, really. Because you have people whose lives have been ruined DANA BASH: It disgusts that Trump's DOJ isn't releasing the Epstein files? BURCHETT: No ma'am. Well, we didn't under Joe Biden either. He had it for four years.
Stop playing the ‘what about Biden’ game. The fact is both Trump and Biden administrations failed to release the Epstein files—and every day politicians deflect, survivors are denied justice while predators stay protected. That’s what should disgust you.
“How many companies have moved 100% of their manufacturing to 🇺🇸 since Trump took office? The answer is pretty clear: Zero.”
Exactly. Lots of slogans, lots of hats, zero factories. If ‘America First’ was real, we’d have seen jobs come back—not more empty promises.
Exactly—every time they pretend gas can spouts matter more than clean air or public health, they prove it. They’re not solving problems, they’re manufacturing distractions.
Classic—when Republicans can’t win on maps, they run to the courts. This isn’t about the 30-day rule, it’s about stalling democracy so they can cling to power a little longer.
Right—fixing a gas can is easy. Fixing the climate isn’t. Maybe Congress should focus on the hard problems instead of pretending nozzle caps are the downfall of America.
Exactly—bad nozzle design isn’t a reason to torch climate protections. Zeldin acts like clean air is the enemy, when really he just doesn’t know the difference between a gas can spout and a fuel pump.
Zeldin: "Our proposal isn't just a rescission of the endangerment finding, but also all of the regulations that followed ... we're heeding the American public that wants relief from diesel fuel exhaust systems. They want their gas cans to be able to pour more freely."
So the plan is to gut climate protections because people are mad their gas cans don’t pour fast enough? That’s not leadership, that’s turning science and public health into a punchline.
"Bongino will soon be sharing his four walls in DC with a buddy. Instead of firing him, Trump will let him kick around the building for a while until he gets bored enough to declare victory against the Deep State and take himself home." — @lizdye.bsky.social
Perfect—Trump’s whole strategy in a nutshell: create chaos, claim victory, then walk away like nothing happened. Bongino will fit right in.
Funny 😂🤣 how absurd it sounds when you flip it around on U.S. states—yet somehow people excuse Russia doing the exact same thing to Ukraine. Annexation isn’t a joke when it’s real people losing their homes and freedom.
Exactly. If Canada rolled into Montana claiming people there ‘wanted peace,’ would Zinke still call it an ‘unbelievable job’? Hypocrisy at its peak.
Zinke: "The Donbas, people there want peace. Crimean peninsula as Trump would say is off the table to go back or stay with Ukraine, depending how you look at it. And it'll end up probably w/a land bridge between the Crimean peninsula & Russia. So I think President Trump has done an unbelievable job"
Unbelievable is right—he’s literally praising the idea of rewarding Russia’s invasion with stolen Ukrainian land. That’s not peace, that’s appeasement. The people of Donbas and Crimea deserve freedom, not occupation.
Exactly! This stinks of corruption and self-dealing. Public resources and promises were made for that factory to help Ohioans, not to line Trump’s pockets. If this turns out to be true, it’s not just unethical—it’s potentially criminal, and voters should be furious.
And they don’t even hide it anymore. Every policy, every delay, every lie—it’s all bloodstained profit. They’re burning the world for quarterly returns, and we’re the ones expected to choke quietly on the smoke.
Exactly. It’s never been about innovation, sustainability, or the future. It’s always been about wringing every last dollar out of destruction—no matter the cost to people, the planet, or truth itself.
Exactly — torch Earth, cash out, and ride Elon’s rocket to a billionaire bunker on Mars. Too bad there’s no atmosphere for their egos up there either.
They’re so obsessed with the afterlife, they’re willing to burn this one to the ground. Faith without accountability is just reckless delusion dressed up as destiny.
Trump admits that Jeffrey Epstein “stole” young girls from him at Mar-a-Lago’s “spa” and brought them into his child sex trafficking ring. This includes Virginia Giuffre who died by suicide in April.
He knew. Trump knew girls were being trafficked under his nose at Mar-a-Lago — and he let it happen. Admitting Epstein 'stole' them isn’t a defense, it’s an indictment. Virginia Giuffre is dead. This isn’t negligence — it’s complicity.
Right? The hypocrisy is staggering. They know the future is clean energy — they’ve already hedged their bets with green investments. But instead of leading the transition, they cling to the short-term profits of destruction.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright says rescinding all greenhouse gas emissions regulations is about ending "the cancel culture Orwellian squelching of science"
This is pure gaslighting. You're not defending science—you’re butchering it to serve oil execs. Rescinding emissions regulations isn’t about freedom, it’s about profit over planet, lies over truth, and death over accountability. You’re not ending cancel culture—you’re canceling our future.
Hours after President Donald Trump shortened the deadline for Russia to reach a ceasefire with Ukraine, Russian strikes killed at least 27 people, including a pregnant woman in a maternity hospital.
Trump’s reckless pandering to Putin has real, bloody consequences. Hours after he gave Russia a green light, they slaughtered civilians—including a pregnant woman in a maternity hospital. This isn’t diplomacy, it’s complicity in war crimes.
Stefan Müller dreams of standing shoulder to shoulder with abusers, but he’s too much of a gutless, sniveling coward to confront anyone who might actually fight back—like a grandma with a backbone or a day worker with dignity. He hides behind cruelty because he has nothing else to offer.
If the DOJ is hiding court-authorized recordings while secretly meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell, that’s not justice—it’s a cover-up. The public deserves to know what’s on those discs. Survivors deserve transparency, not more backroom deals that protect predators.
Newsom: They play by a different set of rules . And we can sit back and act as if we have some moral superiority and watch this almost 250 year experiment be washed away. We are not going to allow that to happen. We have agency. We can shape the future
Damn right we have agency—and it’s time to use it like our lives depend on it. Because they do. We don’t get to ‘morally superior’ our way out of fascism. If we let these extremists rewrite the rules, they’ll burn the whole experiment down. We need to fight like hell—now, not later.
Your grief is powerful—and so is your action. Marching is not ‘just’ something; it’s resistance, it’s courage, it’s refusing to go quietly while cruelty takes the stage. Your voice matters. Our collective power matters.
Trump’s just the mask—the real danger is the shadow network behind him. And we must wake up before there’s nothing left to save.
You’re not wrong—this isn’t just politics anymore, it’s survival. The corruption is so deep it’s poisoning everything: courts, media, public trust. We should absolutely be louder, more relentless, and more united in resistance.
That’s not success—it’s sabotage wrapped in a gold-plated lie. The only ‘nonsense’ here is pretending you ever cared about this country more than your ego.
Success? You mean skyrocketing corruption, courts for sale, pardons for predators, stripping healthcare from millions, and selling out allies while cozying up to dictators?
It would spit in the faces of every survivor, embolden abusers everywhere, and cement Trump’s legacy as a man who weaponized the presidency to shield the monstrous and mock the wounded. There’s no bottom—just a pit of rot where decency used to live.
If Trump pardons Ghislaine Maxwell, it won’t just be a ‘professional courtesy’—it’ll be an unmistakable signal that his America is one where predators protect predators, and justice is reserved for the powerful.
Sexual predator Donald Trump pardoning his fellow sexual predator Ghislaine Maxwell would be what is known as a "professional courtesy."
Faster than he can spell 'First Amendment'—which, let’s be honest, might take a while.
Comparing their 'value' might say more about what audiences and networks are willing to tolerate or reward right now than it does about the talents of Parker, Stone, or Colbert.
Interesting take, but I'm not sure it's that simple. South Park and The Late Show serve different cultural roles—one thrives on absurdist satire with few boundaries, the other on direct political commentary within a corporate media structure.
They also laugh about having to shoot some immigrants eventually, and the $30,000 bonus money they get for being ICE agents making it ok to smell people’s urine when they piss their pants after being tased. Trump and Stephen Miller’s America. 🇺🇸
This is pure evil. Laughing about shooting immigrants and bragging about bonuses while people piss themselves in terror? This is fascism wrapped in a flag and cheered on by cowards. Trump and Stephen Miller built a system designed to break human beings—and some of you call it patriotism?
It really does. Feels like we’re standing at the edge of something meaningful—finally moving toward real change for working people. Let’s not let this momentum slip away.
Workers deserve a voice and real protection. It’s encouraging to see bipartisan support for something that actually helps everyday Americans. Let’s get it to the floor and get it done.
Golden: America didn’t vote to silence workers. Polls shows that Americans of all political stripes support unions. That’s why the Protect America’s Workforce Act quickly gathered strong bipartisan support. We know that if this bill comes to the House floor, we can win.
Exactly. The American people are sick of corporate greed silencing workers while CEOs rake in record profits. Unions built the middle class, and it's time we protect every worker’s right to organize, speak out, and fight for fair wages and safe conditions. Bring the bill to the floor—we will win.
VATICAN NEWS: “In the wake of the Israeli strike on the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza (killing 3), Pope Leo XIV and Netanyahu speak by phone, with the Pope reaffirming the urgent need to protect places of worship and achieve a ceasefire.” www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...
Bombing a church—killing civilians in a house of worship—is a war crime, plain and simple. No amount of phone calls or empty statements can undo that. If this doesn't demand an immediate ceasefire and accountability, what does? Enough cowardice. Enough complicity.
“The three liberal justices are writing about a majority unbound by law,” Aziz Huq argues—a dramatic change in the way that Supreme Court dissents work.
When dissent becomes a warning instead of a legal disagreement, we’re no longer witnessing judicial debate — we’re witnessing the collapse of judicial legitimacy. The Court isn’t interpreting the law anymore; it’s rewriting it for political ends.
Last night, House Republicans voted to take back funding from public broadcast — which funds hundreds of local public radio stations. That’s weather alerts, local news, educational programming — all now at risk. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
So the party that screams about ‘freedom’ just voted to silence one of the last sources of independent, local journalism. Cutting public broadcasting doesn’t save democracy — it sabotages it. This is about control, not budgets.
AP POLL: “Most 🇺🇸 adults think the Republican tax bill will help the wealthy and harm the poor…”#TrumpsTrillionsTransfer Seeing right through the lies from @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett etc. apnews.com/article/trum...
Because it does help the wealthy and harm the poor — that’s not perception, that’s policy. Stripping working families to give billionaires a bonus isn’t economics, it’s theft. People aren’t fooled, and they won’t forget.
Column by Lili Loofbourow: The day Stephen Colbert’s show was canceled, the House passed a bill backing Trump’s push to defund NPR and PBS. CBS knows what all this looks like. They’re trying very hard to address the optics.
Of course they’re worried about optics because the reality is even worse. Silencing satire, gutting public media, and backing authoritarian defunding efforts all in one day? This isn’t just bad PR. It’s a coordinated attack on truth, art, and accountability.
If JD Vance is serious about transparency, he should demand the full release of that letter immediately. The public has a right to know what Trump wrote to a known predator. ‘Bawdy’ doesn’t even begin to cover it if it’s damning enough to ‘destroy’ him. Let's see the truth.
WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “Republicans are getting really cocky… the manosphere (Rogan/Schulz) is turning against them… they’re looking out for the rich… Trump’s bill that takes health care from millions was deeply unpopular….”
Exactly — the GOP’s overconfidence is blinding them. When even their cultural allies start to question their motives, it’s a red flag. Stripping healthcare while enriching the wealthy isn’t bold policy, it’s cruelty — and people are finally waking up to it.
North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein on Trump wanting the states and not FEMA to handle disaster response: "We don't get a huge storm every year. The country does. It doesn't make sense for each state to have a fully staffed emergency response team."
Exactly. Disasters don’t respect state lines. Expecting every state to individually fund and manage full-scale disaster response is inefficient, costly, and dangerous. That’s why we have FEMA—to provide a coordinated national response. Trump’s plan isn’t about preparedness, it’s about abandonment.
New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time "American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."
This isn’t judicial restraint—it’s calculated sabotage. He’ll go down as the smiling assassin of American democracy
John Roberts didn’t just fail the American people he sold them out. Under his watch, the Court became a tool of billionaires, bigots, and authoritarians. He gutted voting rights, opened the floodgates to dark money, and let corruption rot the highest court in the land.
