They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.
Refreshing to see our brave National Guardeners are working for us! 🙀
A pitch-perfect Trumpian holiday offering. Transcending the metaphorical into actual shit. 🙀 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
"The first wave of grocery-price increases will likely hit this winter. Roberson predicted produce prices could rise 50% to 100% by early next year..."
BODY DOUBLE!!! DEEP STATE CONSPIRACY!!! WHERE'S THE REAL TRUMP???? PROVE THIS IS HIM!!!!!!! 😹
You voted to break it, now you own it.
Because when things are crap, we need beauty. 😻
This agenda, from a former top GOP strategist, is what the GOP would do if the tables were turned, so let's get on with it. 😼
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
The Trump/RFK Jr. health agenda:
He thinks it's a little tiny e-bike that small kids ride. Just sayin'.... 🙀
Welp, here we are: 🙀
Box-wine queen Pirro chalks up another "L"! 😹
Maybe there's a non-zero possibility that, given its increasingly obvious liabilities and downsides, AI will be the tech bros biggest bust since...that Microsoft clippy thing? 😹
Excellent Trumpian/Hegseth use of our deadly fighting forces, like the National Guardeners! The mission is...embarassing. Urrrrrrrahhhhhh!!! 😹
Joni Ernst going to give it up. Then, this: Blue wave is coming 🌊 🌊
This is legit cause for him to be fired, amirite? 😹
"USA not RFK"!!!!!!!!!! 💯😻👏🔥💪😸
I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.
Why? So you could hear your constituents tell you they're sick and tired of your Trumpian lies. Not rocket science, genius MAGA guy.
It's. The. Fucking. Guns. 🙀
Trump and his HHS lackey RFK Jr. are going to kill us.
Japan doesn't do things like this lightly or without major discussion and consensus. 🙀
🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”
Trump deployed military to DC because Big Balls got kicked by a 15 year old girl But he will do nothing in response to kids being shot and killed at a religious school
At least four major scientists out at the CDC today. Kennedy's assault on our public health just keeps escalating..... insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...
I don't teach an Intro to Econ class, but can ChatGPT turn me into an economics lecturer in time to enter this contest? 😹
The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward resistance to oppressive, gangster law-enforcement tactics. 😻
Maybe we shouldn’t let someone who doesn’t believe in germs and who thinks it’s okay to eat roadkill and swim in contaminated ponds be in charge of our national food safety.
Froze my credit on January 20 and am glad I did. Support this recommendation.
If it happened in Iowa, it can happen anywhere. IF, however, WE HAVE FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS, an eventuality which is up for debate these days. 🙀
The backlash to the cruelty and evil of the MAGA GOP continues. Trump and his enablers, all sweaty with worry, are bound to turn the screws on what's left of our democracy even tighter now.
No kidding. Also boring to Trump the dictator: -honesty -bravery -leadership -coherence -mental stability -cognition
😹😸🙀👏🏼
Yet another wise decision by Trump, making those sworn to defend our Constitution retrieve what's left of a democracy he's destroying.
BINGO! 😻
Stephen Miller has always been like the playground bully kicking and punching his victim who is lying motionless on the ground, but who doesn't notice that the Offensive Line Coach of the football team is hovering over him with a paddle. 😹
There's a real simple explanation, Your Honor. The U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia is a box-wine-drunk incompetent. The defense rests. 😹

RFKjr is killing Americans with his medically and scientifically ignorant policies. He should be first in line under this proclamation for the death penalty.
The intimidation is the point.
Reason number the infinite why Artificial Intelligence needs to be regulated, reigned in, and horsecollared despite the tech bros' insatiable need to make money off of it. Relatedly--can the humans behind OpenAI be indicted for helping to kill a teen?
Among all the other things, "The President has screwed things up so badly that the world's other rich countries won't deliver mail to us anymore" really should end it immediately.
The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward beheading these most evil ones responsible for the vile deeds in the name of Trump.
Trump is on notice and it’s about time. 💪✊
No other way but to stand up to Trump the little dictator. 🙀
Trump warned of an invasion of lawless criminals who were overrunning our country, making our cities less safe, posing a threat to us all. He didn't mention that he was leading the invasion, targeting our cities and threatening to end the rule of law America.
And he would have made an awesome, amazing VP. 😿
Screaming the not-so-quiet part from the rooftop of the White House. 🙀
Another of the threats she tried to warn us about: 🙀
More accurate headline here:
Words/phrases Democrats should never use: * bipartisan * my Republican friends * real, valid, legitimate, serious, important (to describe issue raised by Republicans) * yea (when voting on Republican bills) * distraction (to describe bad thing Republicans did) * woke (in derogatory sense)
Frankly, the conclusion is obvious. 🙀
I’m an old, too, and also voted for George McGovern, and I enthusiastically and wholeheartedly approve this message. Move over, old and ineffective ideas. Let them lead and follow them with all the dwindling energy we can muster. ✊
Although when Trump’s gestapo invades Chicago as threatened, things aren’t looking much better there. 😿
I just signed the Election Rigging Response Act to put Proposition 50 up for a vote on November 4th. The people of California will have the power to push back against Texas and any other state that obeys Donald Trump's demand to rig the next election.
Probable cause? 🙀
It’s important to pay for local journalism but not like this. www.thecity.nyc/2025/08/20/w...
Justice Jackson has run out of warning flares to launch and is asking all of us to join her in screaming from rooftops. 🙀
Sometimes the sheer idiocy of this moment overwhelms me. The idea that our convicted felon POTUS who incited an attack on DC police then pardoned the attackers & who's the most corrupt official in US history is going on an "anti-crime" ride-along in a city w/falling crime rate is...(brain explodes)
Billionaire Jeff "BFF to Trump" Bezos now personally writing editorials in the name of a nonexistent "Editorial Board". 🙀
Some incredibly good news: One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print. In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast. In short, it’s working. So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.
If there's no one intelligent in the executive, then why bother with an office devoted to intelligence, eh? 🙀
Be an authentic crazy person. 😹
A Timelapse of a kitten's growth.
How the oligarchs, especially from tech, are breaking America, part the infinite:
And the lesson for corporate America here is... 😹
Truth slowly being revealed. 😸
Feels like I've been seen. 😻
Noticing that every serious observer like Sue Gordon and John Brennan and Michael McFaul is being very careful to a fault if not avoiding this issue completely…which is so very telling that something horrible lurks beneath the Trumpian surface here.
Jeez, you’d think she wanted to go and, say, get heath care or something equally sinister. 🙀
A Nazi running DHS social media? Oh, my heart! 🙀
How else would he get his marching orders?
Wondered when JANM would make a statement. Glad it’s a strong one.
"Does this license make my ass look big?" 😹
Big Balls got himself beat up *by a 15 year old girl*. That never gets old. Martial law was declared in D.C. because Big Balls got smacked around by a teen girl.
Official Russian reaction to the humiliating Fiasco in Alaska.
Sorry, King. Wholesale fruit prices went up 40% last month under Trump's stewardship, so watermelon is priced out of the zoo budget. Enjoy your last one, buddy. 😿
Trump's recipe for MAGA Shit Sandwich: 🙀
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has posted statement saying: “American soldiers and airmen policing American citizens on American soil is UnAmerican”
IF we get through this fascist era, we’re gonna need some Nuremberg-style proceedings for every one of these gangster thugs.
When the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled Trump's tariffs illegal, its ruling included a judgment for the ages, for EVERYTHING Trump and his Nazi minions are doing:
The Court of International Trade speaks a universal truth:
United against Trump. 😻 "European leaders including Starmer to join Zelenskyy in Washington for meeting with Trump" www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a... --
We still have not plumbed the depths of how badly Trump got played by Putin. Putin tells Trump blatant lies, Trump then repeats those lies — firstly, because they serve his interests but secondly, because he is so ignorant that he simply doesn’t know the truth.
This is exactly how facists justify facism.
The last, please, extra extra extra heavy on the ketchup, mustard, and mayo.
I'd wondered what the reaction in Russia to the Fiasco in Alaska would be. 😹
"The sad truth is that the federal government has already declared war on the people." Excellent pice on our new urban gang war: Trump's thugs taking over our streets.
Some...?
It will be very enlightening to see what Russian state media says about this fiasco.
Will be verrrrrry interesting to see how Russian state media reports on this mess.
We really need to see what the Russian state media is reporting.
