"One of the big reasons why a lot of us grew up as conservatives is we were afraid that if you give too much power to the government, someone bad could come in and use it for their own personal gratification and empowerment," George Conway says. "And here we are. This is exactly it."

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

SMH. Lawyers teaching broadcasters how to interview. He’s correct.

North Carolina Republicans just passed a new Trump-inspired congressional map to oust a Black Democrat.

Quinnipiac in recent poll asked: Do you think that the way people talk about politics these days is contributing to violence in the United States, or don't you think so? 82% of voters agreed with this including majority of Dems, Independents, and GOP. I said basically this and got fired.

Today in 1963, 4 young girls are killed by white racists as a bomb explodes during Sunday morning services in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL: Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson & Carol Denise McNair. Hateful thoughts lead to hateful words lead to hateful actions.

I would like for wealthy people excited for tax cuts to sign a piece of paper acknowledging that every dollar they get in tax breaks is going to be paid for by someone else…either someone not getting healthcare or SNAP or some future person paying higher taxes to pay the interest on our new debt.

Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

I’m so sad for Biden, but I bet his diagnosis will hurt Tapper book sales. I’m ok with that part.

‘Chipmunks were obsessed with my mics’: the man who recorded a tree for a year

I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

New York! 😳 Fifth Avenue is filled. Trump will hate this 🎉 #HandsOff #FiftyFiftyOne #HandsOff2025

Wow Chicago! #HandsOff #FiftyFiftyOne (🎥 Marco Foster)

@hcrichardson.bsky.social her posts are disappearing one by one from Facebook. Today’s was gone. Then it started with 3d ago. A little while later 4d started it. Now it’s to 5d. Maybe it’s a glitch but it’s very specific. 😳 #heathercoxrichardson

Just a quick reminder, if Russia ceased firing there would be a cease fire

Can you imagine what would have happened if Zelensky had put his hands on Trump, much less shoved him???? Omg.

Yes 100% especially after that disgraceful display from Trump, putting his hands and pushing President Zelensky was NOT OK. You NEVER EVER put your hands on another person, and then yell about respect, disgusting behaviour from a petulant bully!

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Every time I scroll Threads, I am so grateful for Bluesky. I gotta stop doing that. This is what I thought that would be back when it started. ☺️

The average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.

Yep.

After Nancy Mace's explosive speech on the House floor, she encouraged Americans to call a new "victim hotline" set up by her office. But advocates and experts in her district are sounding the alarm: Do not call this a "hotline." In fact, they warn, it's best not to call it at all.

I paid more today for eggs than I have ever paid in my life. Day one my ass.

The (blue) sky at my house appears to be a tad tense. Me, too. 😳

I think I have blocked as many followers as I actually have here. Some might be fine people, just not for me. I wish we had the “remove follower” option on #bluesky. 🚫

The Snitch State: inform on your colleagues if they think of hiring people who aren’t white

I posted this then took it down, but I’m reposting because I found out it’s happening to other people. Facebook said I was following the DT account but I never followed it by choice. That’s very, very wrong. Wtf #Zuckerberg. You might want to go check. Not the “candidate” account. The other.

Snoopy out here protesting Kristi Noem’s confirmation

I never thought I would laugh at this photo again, but here I am. 😂

Mark Cuban posted a TikTok video that he wants to support or invest in somebody who creates a TikTok replacement built on the bluesky AT protocol.

For those who don’t say his name, and used to refer to him as 45… do we switch to 47? How about 4547. 😖
