I was given a 24-hour suspension here for posting my dream scenario for how it will happen.
I'm seeing a list form itself of all the people who must have complained about Gov. Tim Walz calling Republicans weird. It's all the people now telling us that Mamdani is too out there and Newsom should stop acting like Trump. These are people who do not understand how to reach ACTUAL people.
MAGA legislators be like…
This is never going away, is it?
Let’s Go Bucks!!!!! #Buckeyes!
I love the size of this Big Mac. I hope it will speed up the process.
He’s playing this morning. So disappointing
Looks like he’s playing golf.
Ain’t it funny that people who are scared of artificial intelligence voted for no intelligence?
I have been laughing at this joke all day. 🦉
Folks at the White House right now…
Y’all gonna be so sad when it’s just a diaper blow-out and an extra long nap.
n this post, I summarize key points from the Federal Circuit ruling against Trump's massive IEEPA tariffs, in our case against them: reason.com/volokh/2025/...
Why is everyone talking like Trump’s on his last Big Mac?
That was supposed to say “ice” and compression…
You did nothing wrong! A dear friend has crohns from when she turned 17 or so. She’s 58. Chronic illnesses is a real challenge to mental health as well as physical health. Hang in there!
I actually used tattoos for that on my arms. Not a vet but took a page from their book.
I’ve got OA, so it would be so much more.
I’ve and compression work for my hands. It’s recently started in my knees and that’s the worst.
Sorry to hear that. Autoimmune diseases suck.
Yeah, fuck arthritis… that’s all I got right now. ✌️
My wife and I have been together for 38 years and I still catch my breath when I see her walk into the room out of the corner of my eye. I’m a lucky man.
So MAGA, as you scream about the Minnesota shooter's alleged status as a transgender person, you might want to have a look at this data from the Rockefeller Institute. Who are the perpetrators of such crimes? The majority are white (54%) & overwhelmingly male (98%). #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?
Watching the Right bend in knots to blame mass shootings on anything but the weapons used to shoot people is wild. Other countries have every single thing they blame and no mass shootings… I wonder what the missing piece is? #ItsTheGuns
According to Rep. Fitzgerald, ‘urban areas’ are the only places crime occurs. And by urban, we all know what he means…
The fools are dismantling the country.
Fact
Children in Minneapolis were shot through windows as they attended mass at school. Windows will be regulated before guns are.
Post your Epstein memes here. I need more.
Seems to be
The damage done already will take a Herculean effort to repair.
So the DOGE thugs copied all our Numident data to a virtual private cloud. And Musk's thug Edward Coristine was given access to it. A 19 yr old now has all the SS and personal info of every single person going back to 1936.
Gilded trash will not make us great again…
This is obscene… he’s nothing but a cheap wannabe dictator using your money to cover his world with gold.

Funny how the companies doing the drilling denied responsibility for the quakes but they stopped with the fracking.
We had earthquakes from fracking in NE Ohio/Western Pa, and once they stopped the injection wells, the quakes stopped. I wonder what activity might be doing this, if any.
That’s my first one but I’ve been hearing stories for years. It was so much fun!
Tour de Fat in Ft. Collins!
I’m jealous!
Right? It’s jumps from one amazing thing to another.
Just finished a 1700 mile meander in our #Wrangler across Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and into Colorado. The Black Hills are stunning. Pics to follow!
Custer State Park! Very cool visit and we are headed back today!
If you rush to defend the enslavement of humans or have to nitpick the original statement because you’re a modern-day fan of the practice, no amount of words from me will save you.
Yep, slavery is still a thing, yep, there were lots of folks involved in the institution as practiced in the Americas, yep it’s been around for a long time. Not one of those statements makes the fact that slavery was (and continues to be) bad false.
Lots of folks don’t understand the loophole in the 13th Amendment that makes your statement true.
Slavery was bad… period — retired history teacher.
And by "horribly doxxed," Kristi Noem means that her husband keeps finding out where she's shacking up with Corey Lewandowski.

Help us cause some good trouble(virtually). Today, check in on Facebook at the Texas State Capitol to show support, even if you can’t be there in person. The more people who check in, the harder it is for to track who’s actually there. It’s simple and it sends a message: we’re watching, and we care.
You know what this means. An all out attack on mail in voting. When Putin speaks, Trump acts.
I suspect that what we will find out eventually…is that what happened in those private moments between Trump and Putin…was worse than even the evil stuff we’ve already imagined might have. Everything about how it was handled, and that has taken place post-meeting…screams it out loud.
Um…but you’re president and…uh…it’s still happening.
Can you believe that #Putin was invited on to American soil to meet that huge #MAGA turd, #Trump? Here's what I have to say and please repost if you agree! And at a time like this, do NOT forget the #EpsteinFiles and the #TrumpEpsteinFiles and #Epstein and #GhislaineMaxwell and #pedophile
I’m just… so angry. Why can’t we have universal healthcare? Why can’t we provide food for kids in schools? Why can’t we pay living wages to people? It’s not because there isn’t enough money, there’s plenty. It’s because we can’t do those things and satisfy the wealthy.
Felt cute… might delete later.
My wife is my soul mate. She’s never wavered from her total support since we get serious in 1987. She’s my everything.
It’s very Star Trek actually.
That’s wonderful!
The science is clear on this. It’s really amazing how well it works.
I’m happy to answer questions or take DMs about this.

So, for the folks who think it looks silly… here’s a few facts. TMS has been approved to treat depression and PTSD for years (2008). It’s about twice as effective as meds. Here’s some science. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37640924/
#TMS time! Nothing flashy today, just a dTMS treatment before our trip to keep the good/bad brain all tuned up. If you are wondering what the heck this is, it’s the life-altering treatment I follow to keep my med resistant Major Depressive Disorder in check. And it is life altering.

The White House’s official X account has a long thread in which they’ve posted pictures of people arrested during the feds’ occupation of the city. Every single person in the thread is a person of color.
Love this.
Sure, Gavin isn't everyone's cup of tea. You go to war with the army you have.
This is spot-on. We have so much disdain for history and its lessons. It's like it's baked into the culture.
This is an important point. Most Americans don’t know about civil resistance. About the importance of peaceful protests, strikes, and boycotts. But they’re going to get a lesson real quick. Collective action is the way. And it also has quite the legacy in our history. See the Civil Rights movement.
Think about all the tech bros who caved immediately
As we head towards Trump’s Fascist takeover, here's something to give you hope. (The bar is very low) 1. Trump and MAGA are deeply reckless and aligned with incompetent assholes. 2. USA is a big country 3. The majority hate Trump. 4. Epstein and the Economy 5. We have a history of revolution
it’s become clear that state level gerrymandering bans were just unilateral disarmament and the only real solution is a federal gerrymandering ban… And the only way to get that is Dems pushing for maximal gerrymandering until we get a trifecta to pass the law and pack the courts to enforce it

Leaked chart, dropped by Politico, shows winners and losers in California’s redistricting—AKA retribution—and I’m here for it. 👀 This wouldn’t even be on the table if Trump and Texas Republicans weren’t trying to steal seats from Black and Brown communities. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Yep.
That’s exactly it… right there.
Yep. My son’s partner needs thousands in dental work… and no insurance because America.
Watching my children struggle to stay out of poverty after earning college degrees is its own kind of hell.
We can’t provide a better life for millions when there are hundreds who think they deserve the whole pie and refuse to acknowledge that the people who make the pies deserve more than crumbs.
I’m just… so angry. Why can’t we have universal healthcare? Why can’t we provide food for kids in schools? Why can’t we pay living wages to people? It’s not because there isn’t enough money, there’s plenty. It’s because we can’t do those things and satisfy the wealthy.
Jeep is ready for our trip! Our former school district is having their convocation today and we are packing. It’s wonderful! Will I miss teaching? Yes. Am I happy to be past that part of my life? Also yes.
Right??? It's got a perfect ending.
God's plan was to murder a firefighter and give a lying pedophile some cheap publicity.
The Trump administration is now seeking to replace PBS with “Prager University,” a far-right propaganda organization that isn’t actually a university. One of their “kids videos” has Christopher Columbus telling them that slavery was “no big deal” and “better than being killed.”
I love when Nancy Mace self-owns with her fake outrage. 🍿
