New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. š
I never made a conscious choice but I realize I'm migrating over here from Threads. Professional, living in New York City. Liberal. Love to travel and hoping I still can given the international pariah we're likely about to become.

Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
New in PN: Trump's flag burning executive order flames out "This is a blatant attempt to transform protected speech into criminal conduct, despite decades of SCOTUS precedent barring just that. And it was immediately challenged by a veteran who set fire to an American flag just across from the WH."
Theyāre never giving it to Donald Trump, I can assure you.
Trump doesnāt get to end mail-in voting just because Vladimir Putin told him to. And who in their right mind admits that anyway?
THIS is the way šš¼šš¼šš¼
I think youāre largely right about this. But time will surely tell.
Better than the day we picked it up.
To be finished would be a relief.
INTERVIEW THE VICTIMS, DAMMIT. An ex-FBI interrogator shreds Blancheās Maxwell interview as a sham: leading questions, no case agents, built to launder Trump. This is prosecutorial capture, ethics wrecked, and survivors erased.
Apparently he heard that most people think that the gilding of a populist presidentās borrowed office is as ridiculous as it really is.
Why wonāt he fucking die?
No shit. Trump's crime crackdown is a joke, driven more by optics than actual data. Red states like Mississippi and Louisiana are home to far worse violence, yet they're sending National Guard troops to D.C. instead of addressing their own crises. Itās performative authoritarianism. 1/2
The ālaw and orderā bullshit hits a little different when the law enforcement itself is lawless.
National Guard troops do not have to obey him. What he is ordering them to do is anti-democratic if not unlawful. If they refuse, he is toothless. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Could anyone explain what, exactly, it is about brighter colors and a simplified logo that qualifies as āwoke?ā Because the Cracker Barrel controversy seems like a strictly crazy person problem to me š¤·āāļø
The Cracker Barrel thing is hysterical to me. What exactly is it about lighter colored furniture and a simplified logo that says āwoke?ā Or is it just the woman CEO of a company that caters to hicks and bigots?
What the MAGAts fail to understand is that no amount of legal harassment is going to change anyone's mind. It's just going to make the majority of Americans hate them that much more. www.newsweek.com/maga-celebra...
If youāve spent more than ten seconds thinking about the Cracker Barrel logo today, youāre a loser and you probably have high cholesterol.
Observe the bloated orange scumbagās most recent version of the stupid red hat. LOL š
Trump on John Bolton: "He's not a smart guy. But he could be a very unpatriotic guy. We're gonna find out."
Trump raves about grass like a deranged groundskeeper while the nation burns. A senile conman rambling about sprinkler systems as if it were governance. This is brain rot televised.
Krishnamoorthi on the FBI raiding Bolton's house: "It looks like it's also an attempt to distract from the other big news of the day, which is the first production of the Epstein files that is required by subpoena from the Oversight Committee and they want to change the conversation."
Just saw all your comments from last nightās post and someone shared a pic, Orlando showed up and used chalk to bring the rainbow crosswalk back! We love this so much!!! ā¤ļøš§”šššš
Thugs share.google/k4HGX35FRV8V...
Iām no fan of John Bolton but this is obviously gestapo-style intimidation.
New in PN: @pkrugman.bsky.social on Trump's teetering economy "The thing thatās extra damaging now is the craziness. Nobody knows what the tariff rates will be in six months. That means a lot of cash sits on the sidelines."
If your identity is so wrapped-up in Cracker Barrel aesthetics that youāre raging over an update to the decor and logo, you are a psychopath. Full stop.
This is Rich coming from anyone who serves a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist.
Federalizing the District of Columbia under the guise of fighting crime while simultaneously calling for the release of convicted felons who broke the law in service of Trumpās lies exposes this ludicrous charade for the corrupt authoritarian push it is. Open your eyes š
Biggest crook in American history.
You would not place tanks in front of Union Station if you were trying to fight crime in Washington, D.C. You would place tanks in front of Union Station if you were trying to terrorize and intimidate the American people.
Having grown up in the United States, it's pretty wild to see, for the first time in my life, an American government actively terrorizing the American people. This is not who we are.
No, it is not at all normal for a sitting president to have enough time on his hands to obsess over Smithsonian slavery exhibits and we can thank ever-loving God that no other president had a pair of bald Nazis like Stephen Miller and Russell Voght to run the government into the ground.
Trumpās is going to cosplay a Nazi stormtrooper on the streets of D.C. tonight. Doesnāt this asshole have a day job?

Only that the republicans are always ādo as we say, not as we do.ā Throw their own tactics right back into their faces and they whine and pule like little children who donāt get their way. This is why what Governor Newsom is doing is so effective, by emphasizing republicans hypocrisy.
At least California voters are being respected and asked. No one bothered to ask if it was okay to gerrymander all the dark-skinned Texans into oblivion.
Just a few minutes of Fox News is like being abducted to another planet.
Can anyone explain to me why itās okay for Governor Hot Wheels to impose new congressional maps that no one in Texas asked for but itās not okay for Governor Newsom to ask California voters for their permission to counteract Republican cheating? Anyone?
Cracker Barrel tweaked its logo and the MAGA racists are predictably losing their shit and threatening to boycott - which might actually be the best thing for this particular brand.
I donāt want to know anything today. I need a break from this freak show.
Newsom: I mean, even poor Kid Rock ā these guys, theyāve gotten a little precious, havenāt they? The folks at Fox are like, āOh, this is so unbecoming of a governor. Oh, oh.ā And meanwhile, they sit there reading his tweets every single day. Are they really that out of touch?
Maybe trying to steal an election after passing some of the worst legislation ever inflicted on the American people won't be as popular with Republican voters as these elected scumbags think. Either that or Republican voters are the real scumbags.
The animated blocks of wood on #FoxNews losing their shit over Gavin Newsom ruthlessly mocking them all is just priceless.
Is #JoeScarborough a fucking moron or did he recently have a brain aneurysm?
We can't keep waiting for Republicans to come back to their senses. It's never going to happen. It's not a good thing but we can't just roll over for fascists.
Trump lamenting his chances at heaven certainly peaked my interest. LOL š
Trump claims he has ended six wars. He just canāt tell you which ones š¤¦āāļø
The hypocrisy is astounding.
What a box-of-rocks decides to speak.
Theyāre raping her - and by āherā I mean all of us.
At this point all we can say for sure is Texas is full of a bunch of cos play wanna be hero patriots what a fucking joke
Watching that bloated orange felon maul the White House like it's his forever home makes me sick š¤®
Getting closer.
What do you really think was discussed in Alaska? Because only one of those two corrupt, dishonest men have any interest in ending the war. They BOTH have an interest in ending American democracy. I would not be at all surprised if Trump made such an appeal for help. Iād be surprised if he didnāt.
Itās become quite obvious that Trump and Putin spent more time discussing how to end free-and-fair elections in the United States than how to end the war in Ukraine. Putin has no interest in ending the war but he and Trump do have interest in ending American democracy. Open your eyes.
Fox News is outraged by Newsom mocking Trumpās toxic Twitter persona. Perino calls it āembarrassing,ā but she misses the point. Newsomās parody exposes the absurdity of Trumpās tactics, showing that political discourse is now a joke, and Trumpās the punchline.
Donāt worry. He didnāt feel it.
PSA: Donāt forget to āask yourselves this question dailyā
The very same people that bent over backward to normalize Donald Trumpās madness are now going mad over Gavin Newsom mocking them all.
B U L L S H I T
So, the guy caught watching porn during meetings last month wants to make sure radical lefties donāt infiltrate Oklahoma schools. Iām old enough to remember when watching porn at work would get you fired.
Fascism
Are they really so completely blind that they canāt see that Newsom is only doing the same crazy shit Trump has been doing for years? I mean, this is not a particularly complex joke to grasp.
#ChrisPlatt is welcome to use opinion and heād do well to remember that so is everyone else. The hypocrisy of an avowed Christian defending a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist is grotesque to most rational people.
Most people do not hate Christians specifically. They hate hypocrites generally.
Stefanik was booed off stage, called a Nazi, and heckled by protesters for her role in amplifying toxic GOP agendas. Her attempts to deflect with weak cries about honoring a fallen hero only exposed the hollowness of her political posturing.
Barack Obama famously despised Putin. Thatās what this is really all about.
Trump wants a peace deal because he wants a Nobel Peace Prize. This is all a strange extension of his weird Obama-envy. But heās actually childish and immature enough to believe that Putin likes him and wants to help him. He actually told Macron this, who, I suspect had to contain his laughter š¤¦āāļø
Republicans in general are soulless and corrupt but Governor Hot Wheels and the Texas Republicans are a special kind of scumbag. They literally have a fucking hostage at the state capitol.
Apparently Texas Republicans have resorted to taking Democrats hostage at the state capitol. How is that legal?
here's clips of Elise Stefanik getting brutally booed at an event today in her district
Perino: You have to stop at with the Twitter thing. If I were his wife, I would say you are making a fool of yourself, stop itā¦ He's got a big job as governor of California but if he wants an even bigger job, he has to be a little more serious.
Canāt wait for @jaketapper.bsky.socialās book about this
this is where Stubb was sitting when Trump couldn't see him btw
Did he just claim heās resolved six wars?
āA fetid bag of windā LOL š
New in PN: Gavin Newsom's moment "Newsom and other Dems joining this battle are right to fight. And by fighting, they are demonstrating just how weak Trump is. When you bend the knee, MAGA looks invincible. As soon as you stand up, though, the orange god starts to look like a fetid bag of wind."
Iām sure he doesnāt like it but he knows the states run their own elections per the Constitution and they donāt have to listen to a thing he says. So whatās he playing at with talk of ending mail-in ballots and voting machines? I mean, aside from his glaringly obvious desire to steal the midterms.
Just take whatever Trump is saying, envision the direct opposite and youāll know the truth. Itās easier than you think.
The truth is always easy to identify as the polar-opposite of whatever the bloated orange felon is saying.
Trump on DC: "The restaurants the last two days were busier than they've been in a long time." (Data in fact shows restaurant business dropping sharply over last week.)
I want all the folks going out of their way to tell us how much they hate Gavin Newsom to PLEASE go change their voter registrations to ANYTHING but DEMOCRAT right now. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Trump should just declare that heāll try everything and do whatever corrupt shit it takes to try and steal the midterms elections. Weāre there anyway and he knows as well as we do his second term effectively ends in January of 2027.
"Newsomās threat to retaliate in kind is not a divisive attack on good governance. It is, instead, the only hope for democracy. Bipartisanship right now is appeasement. Democrats cannot and should not hide behind neutrality and fairness as MAGA incinerates the remaining tatters of our republic."
Fox News complaining about Gavin Newsomās āstupid and childishā tweets is pure gold. Heās forcing these dimwits to tell on themselves and they donāt even realize it. Itās so brilliant.
The irony of vacation disasters was funny for a while but the Jet2 holiday meme is out of control now. Somebody slapped it on to a video of a goat doing yoga š¤·š¼āāļø What the hell? LOL š
Who would have thought that a normal person merely replicating Trumpās bizarre mannerisms and childish vocabulary for comic effect would be the thing finally broke the MAGAverse. They really canāt handle being forced to see how truly ridiculous a person he is.
They're responding to the thing they specifically regard as "their" inflluencers but they're wrong about everything.
