Our children are going to be paying for unnecessary wars and billionaire tax cuts for years to come. We need a serious change of course in this country.

I've been listening to a lot of older music this week. It's amazing how many artists warned about everything that is happening right up until it all started to come apart. It's like the last clear vision of things before the darkness. Art is more than art.

America needs people in Congress who’ll hold Trump and MAGA accountable. But now that the Virginia Supreme Court struck down a map that the people voted for, our path to a Democratic majority is slimmer than ever. And guess what … Trump and MAGA are cheering them on.

So yesterday, the president's allies unveiled a 22-foot-tall golden statue of him that they prayed around, and then the president confused Iran and Iraq, seemed clueless about his FDA commissioner getting fired, and called a reporter a bitch? Cool. Cool cool cool.

A really tough week. I am doing everything I can to spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. You can help me by subscribing to Democracy Docket for free and sharing its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

To slightly adapt Orwell: The Supreme Court told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was its final, most essential command.

Nothing moves. Yet everything is changing.

Everything is insane because the President is.

Ivermectin in an anti-parasitic. It kills parasites. Viruses are not parasites. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Murray: “Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate?” Dahl: Yes Murray: “And the rate for someone making $1,000,000? “ Dahl: 2.2% Murray: “So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184,000, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.”

How the fuck does the GOP explain this? www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

These deaths are on him as well as the parents he has misled.

Our rights aren't gone:

If after what happened in Tennessee today doesn't prompt every Blue state to gerrymander the fuck out of republican districts what are we even doing? Oh and skip the sending it to the voters bullshit, just do it.

BREAKING: A U.S. trade court has ruled AGAINST Donald Trump’s sweeping 10% global tariff, finding the administration overstepped its authority. The court said the across-the-board ⁠tariffs were not ​justified ​under ⁠the ​1970s ​trade ⁠law invoked by the administration.

“The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.” Mahatma Gandhi Viktoria Kalaichi - Blue Bird (Ukrainian).

Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."

Sen. Mark Kelly: "According to them, any time a retired veteran says something that the Secretary of Defense doesn't like, they can be punished…It's an outrageous violation of our constitutional rights."

So war drains a country’s resources? Ya don’t say. 🤔

Priorities. Had enough yet?

This artwork is an abstract watercolor painting titled "Untitled" created by the Swiss-German artist Paul Klee in 1914.

It really seems like these people are trying to get us killed.

Soooo… Tennessee Republicans are trying to gerrymander the state. And they’re also trying to get rid of the requirement to tell people where their new polling locations are? Tell me again how the Republican Party isn’t trying to cheat. 🙄

BTW, the idea of three coequal branches of government is made-up nonsense. The Constitution establishes three branches, for sure, and gives each limited powers to oversee each other, but they are not given equal powers. Congress has the most power by far. Congress is supposed to run the country.

It's truly embarrassing that America's obsession with reality shows gave permission for unqualified Spencer Pratt to run for office. The Sandy Hook denying, crystals hawking, teen photos of Mary Kate Olsen seller should never ever be close to being Los Angeles next mayor.

If they want to take ivermectin this time, don’t try to stop them.

The GOP is hellbent on getting rid of abortion medication. It's the next national ban. I'm joined by @mintimm.bsky.social & @jessicavalenti.bsky.social for an in-depth discussion about the case & why abortion is centered again as an election issue in the upcoming midterms. youtu.be/27-YrTTdZvM?...

Host: When people hear "cap on Social Security benefits," people panic. Is this something the administration is actually considering? Trump's Social Security Commissioner: The president has committed to protect and preserve... Host: I'm going to take that as a yes.

The weirdest part is the trades were allegedly executed through an LLC called “Totally Not Barron LLC.”

“I live in constant fear that I will be subjected to further baseless detentions just for going about my daily life." On May 2, Leonardo Garcia Venegas, a Florida-born US citizen, was detained by ICE in Alabama for the third time (!) in the span of a year. And he's suing the federal government.

Saudi Arabia was supportive of the Hormuz operation until they realized the Trump admin wasn’t going to do anything to defend UAE when Iran started hammering them. Then they were like woah fuck you, this isn’t what we signed up for.

This is 100% true.

30 percent of Americans are against [squints at notes] the Pope urging peace

Marco Rubio: Operation Epic Fury is over. Our preference is to return to the pre-war status for the Strait of Hormuz. 🇺🇸US Senator: But the SOH was already open before the war? So what was the point of whole war? You have created a Global Crisis OUT OF NOTHING” #cdnpoli

The golden age of corruption.

its true that i dont understand how the supreme court operates. for example do you get the free RV and house for your mom before or after issuing favorable rulings? is it a *wink wink* deal or more explicit? these are the things the general public doesnt understand

People are already peddling ivermectin for Hantavirus. The same people had never heard of Hantavirus 3 days ago. We live in the dumbest possible timeline.
