trumps strategy of destroying blue states which bring in majority of countries revenue and then also destroying and bringing red states to mass suicide with tariffs doesn’t make much sense so far

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Almost like we founded the entire country on opposing this exact sentence.

What could be worse than screaming at a Capitol police officer?

This sums up their lying perfectly www.meidasplus.com/p/this-weeke...

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

VA Gov debate: Spanberger: my opponent has previously said that she does not think that gay couples should be allowed to marry ​Earle-Sears: That's not discrimination ​Spanberger: she thinks it's okay for someone to be fired from their job for being gay ​​Earle-Sears: that's not discrimination

practically a requirement for this administration to be a sex pest

It really feels like they’re trolling our autocrat.

With SCOTUS set to legalize conversion therapy, I think it's important for states to get around this decision by implementing new legislation applying private rights of action to practitioners of conversion therapy by their victims with large damages and long statutes of limitations.

I’m pretty sure if we designed an assisted living facility to look like the WH and put lots of gold all over it and a ballroom with his late 70s playlist on a loop we could coax him in there and he wouldn’t know the difference. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Conservatives at Harvard: "we need a diversity of views on campus." The diversity of views in question: www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Pelosi: "Democrats who created Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, all of that, are now being asked to reject that so we can give a tax cut to the rich. We're not doing it. It isn't a question of, 'let's come back together so we can discuss it.' That isn't going to happen."

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

there is no reason we should engage in negotiations over a budget while this is happening

we need a word for a type of person who spends all their time working to live in a city so they can be near cool things, but they don't actually like going out

Using massive Medicaid and Medicare fraud.

Kristi Noem is mad they wouldn’t let her in to use the restroom in Illinois today.

REPORTER: Do you commit to doing something to address the ACA subsidies so that insurance premiums don't spike for Americans? MIKE JOHNSON: Republicans commit to continuing the work we've already been doing (That's a no)

The Trump administration illegally defunded the police in NYC to pressure Democratic leaders Trump, two days later: “I reversed the cuts…It was my honor to do so.” You can’t make this sh*t up.

I literally hate to give Newsom credit for anything, he's a snake when it comes to transgender issues, but he's legitimately doing a good thing here. www.latimes.com/california/s...

I think when Spanberger wins this race, it may show that turning the transphobia dial more and more isn't effective at moving the polls. People simply don't give a shit.

Fox News reporter to Mike Johnson: "How can you say 'they take no pleasure in this,' and then the next minute say, 'Oh, they're just having fun and trolling?'"

Some people been saying that blue state Governors needed to be working on solutions 10 fucking months ago to keep tax money in state and not sending it to fund federal fascism. Trump withholding FEMA funds to LA in January should have been the wake up call but it wasn't.

He can’t take tariff money and give it to anyone, so that is bs. Congress has to pass another farm bailout bill just like they had to the last time Trump wrecked their businesses. So farmers will have to embrace socialism again since they can’t compete in market capitalism.

American Christians deciding the Pope doesn't know the Bible because he said immigrants are human is the perfect summary of the evangelist movement

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'? JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said. S: Those are quotes

Revisionist history in under five days.

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

Impressive how one political party can control the White House, the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court, but not bear responsibility for whether the federal government functions. Neat trick.

Q: How did the White House decide it was appropriate for Jared Kushner to be working on matters that involve Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia -- 3 countries combined that have given him more than $2.5b LEAVITT: It's frankly despicable that you're trying to suggest that it's inappropriate

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

It's becoming clear that this is not an administration that is popular or skilled enough to do the consolidation needed to implement actual fascism, so they've decided that constantly creating fascism-flavored content is good enough

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

if i were a would-be dictator whose only civilian check on power had been consumed by total-complete partisan loyalty, something i would definitely do is call an unprecedented in-person meeting of the only people who could stop me and then proceed to illustrate why they should stop me

i still can't get over how many newspapers reported that Kamala Harris was lying when she said Donald Trump would deploy troops against US citizens setting aside the fact that she was correct, how can a prediction be a "lie" that doesn't even make sense

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

I can't get over how the right-wing doesn't understand modern militaries, with the majority serving non-combat roles. You think the best IT security & logistics personnel spends two hours in the gym every day to look like the cast of 300? They're at furry conventions and model train shows.

It's amazing how few politicians have yet to grasp the McConnell strategy: any government gridlock will accrue to the ruling party. Any time you're in the minority, throw sand in the gears; when you're back in the majority, hit the gas.

1 transgender shooter GOP: "We must institutionalize all transgenders!" 47,209 white male shooters GOP: "This is the cost of freedom."

really need to emphasize the small cities part. i have mentioned this before, but you'll see people on facebook talk about charlottesville like its ridley scott's mogadishu

If a shooter’s politics are hard to pin down, he’s a leftist If a shooter’s politics are right wing, he’s hard to pin down

Trump deleted his bizarre post featuring an AI video of him endorsing “medbeds,” which raises the question of whether he’s so confused that he thought it was a real video of him talking
