left wing intellectuals on having kids: wow look at all these little joys, i am gonna make a special scrap book of why the family matters...omg is this conservativism? right wing intellectuals on having kids: look we have to start getting teens pregnant if we're gonna outbreed all the undesireables

*Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults-Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe - living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

The debt climbed from roughly $37 trillion in August 2025 to over $38 trillion by October 2025, meaning the United States is now adding roughly $500 billion per month, or $23 billion per day, more than $114,000 per American household.

MAGA keeps saying Trump is “saving taxpayers money” and “paying down the national debt.” If that were true, why did the U.S. national debt just surpass $38 trillion, a record high in American history?

Government being shut down through all of this makes it so much more surreal. And really has the potential to break in some way where he decides to just start paying people he wants to pay no matter the shutdown, and then who knows what happens?

When the guy says "you only take orders from a pedophile rapist piece of shit" you can see the words hit.

I pray that a future president if we still have a democracy will erase every trace of Trump's existence. Raze every edifice he's built; strip his name from everything, restore the White House as if he never lived there & turn Mar-a-Lago into a Black, LGBTQ, women's, AAPI & immigrant history museum.

I'm not saying this book is going to suck, but let's be real -- this book is going to suck....

If these robots don't murder him on the way to Mars I will be deeply, deeply disappointed....

The brunchlords that own U.S. media companies prefer tax cuts, rubber stamped merger approvals, and mindless deregulation over any sort of popular, progressive reform the mass suffering and collapse of democracy is an unfortunate externality they can accept this is clearly reflected in coverage

This is brutal, horrifying, disgusting all at once. This is Trump's America. This is the Republican Party's America. We must, must, must stop this before evil wholly overwhelms us all. #OnYourSide

Bskyers of a certain age may recall recoiling in horror when the Bush Administration took some existing chunks of government and rolled it into a new security apparatus called The Department of Homeland Security because the word "Homeland" was so Nazi-ish. Now two decades later, here we are....

Basically all US policy is at this point about indulging Trump’s irrational obsessions, petty grudges, and corrupt grifts, and then taking secondary and tertiary measures to mask the consequences of those policies.

NGL, I really really really want Toronto to win the World Series if only to watch Trump's brain melt....

Here's who @scottnover.bsky.social and I have confirmed so far. All right-wing bloggers and influencers who * agreed to the press restrictions refused by established reporters * are known for soft-touch treatment of the Trump administration * will now get special access to the "Department of War"

"No need for congressional authorization of funds. If construction can be done with private donations, then so can demolition: writes @jvl.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/we-will-te... #TearItDown

The government’s shut down. Trump and Republicans are: —Demolishing part of the White House to make room for a $200M golden ballroom —Trying to send Argentina a $40 BILLION bailout —Refusing to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva —Buying Kristi Noem 2 luxury private jets Americans deserve better.

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

twitter is making mainstream reporters dumber, and because they're all getting dumber together, none of them can recognize it and they actually think they're getting smarter

I will keep posting this:👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Now that Trump has illegally bombed a seventh boat in the Caribbean, please note this: Rep Adam Smith, ranking Dem on Armed Services, tells me that *at no point* have officials given lawmakers even the most basic information about these extrajudicial murders: newrepublic.com/article/2019...

The military has apologized for damaging the vehicle, saying they confused it with a Colombian fishing boat

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

Mike Johnson, fake Christian, doesn't think a Republican congressman beating up his girlfriend is "really serious."

new explanation for our current political climate just dropped

In case you’ve swallowed poison and need to barf.

U.S. journalism is really like a Ken and Barbie doll, a vague simulacrum of something real but with all the important bits sanded off to a smooth hump

Both NL games went the way I didn't want them to, and my overinvestment in the Eagles' RB (one team), WR (two teams), D (two teams), and K (one team) murdered all three of my fantasy football teams, especially since I faced the QB in two leagues. Worst sports night EVER! 😁

Welp, I'm out. Hope they at least will be required to have a wired connection....

This checks out

Party with fascists, get handed your asses

This was one of the hardest things I've ever written -- literally took me nine days....

As @vermontgmg.bsky.social says here, "How can anyone in Congress — Democrats or Republicans — make a budget 'deal' with this administration if we now know the President is going to ignore implementing any part of the 'deal' he wants?" Read the whole thing: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one.

Nah. The team was recently valued at $8.9 billion when some shares changed hands among members of the ownership group. A stadium will only increase the asset's value. It may generate billions, but not for we the people. #NoMoreCorporateWelfare

Welp, since we don't have a TV provider and MLB.TV doesn't include it, I guess I won't be seeing much post-season baseball.

Susan Collins is no doubt very disappointed by this speech....

I can’t tell you exactly when the tipping point will occur, when elected GOP will rebel against him, or when his dementia becomes so apparent he’s forced to resign, or when so much of the nation rises up against his dictatorship that he’s impeached/convicted of high crimes, but we’re getting closer.

And That’s Why Republicans Cheat To Win Elections….

I kinda wish our James Bond supervillians, er, "oligarchs" would just go off and build secret underground lairs and threaten us with earthquakes or nukes instead of dismantling our government....
