Trump’s 'Golden Age' Kills Another American Company's Factory in a Red State: “Goodyear announced it’s shuttering its plant in Republican-voting North Carolina, costing more than 1,700 jobs” www.alternet.org/amp/trump-ta...

"[President Xi said] America is a nation in decline and I said, 'You're right.'" - Donald Trump, president of said nation for six of the last ten years

Unreal levels of corruption. THIS CANNOT STAND. Storm the Capitol, smear shit on the walls, get pardoned, get paid. Hey @dccc @DNC -- one issue voter here: *** PROSECUTIONS *** ---------------------------------------------------- www.mediaite.com/media/news/a...

Just another normal day at DOJ where they have to withdraw a filing in New Hampshire that was intended for Minnesota.

Good Grief! Closed door meetings have become family night with this clown show administration. A lounge singer goes to FBI briefings? Ugh!

Keep your friends close, but keep your blackmailers closer.

New White House guidelines try to make previously mandatory preservation rules discretionary, signaling "an attempt to privatize the American story," FPF's Lauren Harper said on @npr.org's 1A. Listen to the rest ⬇️

Crazy how this is reported as if he hasn't been selling pardons. And even if that's not the case, attaching a goal number to something that's supposed to be deliberative is reality show insanity.

Disenfranchising Black voters and screwing them out of representation while securing a $1.7 billion slush fund of our tax dollars for reparations to convicted white nationalist J6 traitors and those who feel aggrieved by the consequences of their own actions. All in the same week. The Republican way

Please stop saying Donald Trump or Melania's dark past is surfacing. It's not. It's been here the whole time, right in front of our faces and we normalized it and ignored it. The White House is occupied by a bunch of grifting criminals who trafficked children. Call it what it is

All those MAGA folks screeching about the water quality in East Palestine, Ohio after a train derailment are mighty silent about Donald Trump and his EPA wanting to roll back protections against power companies dumping toxins into our waterways across the country. So much for MAHA and MAGA. 🙄

The U.S. government requires visa applicants to make all of their social media accounts fully public or risk being denied entry. This is straight out of 1984. Your right to privacy doesn’t just disappear at the border for millions of people, it disappears before they ever set foot here.

Trump complains he can't brag about the Iran War because of the "little man with the $4 gasoline": "I don't want to say we're making a fortune ... because if I say it, they're going to say, 'He forgets about the little man with the $4 gasoline.'"

My grandfather was a Pearl Harbor survivor (he was on the Tennessee). He told me details of that day, and of the men that were trapped down there for days, banging away hoping for rescue that would never come. May Kash Patel rot in hell for this desecration and disrespect of our fallen.

While Trump is fellating Xi, this is happening…

Remember the “good old days” when a politician proposed a donor-funded idea and you could easily dismiss it with simply saying “That’s impossible. It’s unconstitutional.” Good times.

Never stop pointing out that they told us healthcare and education were too expensive and that taxing the rich is victimizing them. While the Pentagon says the war in Iran cost $29B, analysts are saying it cost at least $72B in the first 60 days. $72B, just gone.

🤣

Let this radicalize you

Disgraceful fraudulent traitor John Fetterman joined fascist republicans in confirming MAGA lunatic Kevin Warsh as the new Federal Reserve Chair after Jerome Powell thus officially ending the Central Bank’s autonomy and independence. We’re fucked and so many still refuse to see it.

Never a dull moment.

Seems like it should be slightly bigger news that the Central Intelligence Agency killed an alleged cartel member with a car bomb web.archive.org/web/20260513...

Millionaires in North Carolina are stepping up to challenge politicians and say: tax us more and fund our public schools. 📚💸 It’s time to get our priorities straight and raise taxes on incomes over $1 million and invest in North Carolina students instead of endless tax breaks for the rich.

Inflation, gas prices, and grocery costs are all up. But yesterday Trump was clear: he doesn’t “think about Americans’ financial situations.”

The Senate fell one vote short of formally shutting down the war with Iran, with John Fetterman casting the decisive vote.

😱

Trump is bringing a lot of his Christian nationalist boosters to the Mall this weekend to "rededicate" America as one nation under God. It's part of his hijacking of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

Don't be surprised when Trump trades Taiwan for China's help opening the Strait of Hormuz.

Yesterday a few folks pointed out that Trump has changed major details about his reflecting pool project since he announced it in late April. I've created a video with graphics that point out how much he's lied about it. This includes edits of longer rambling statements.

Heading into the 2026 midterms, this is the story I'm thinking about - one of absolute chaos for truly no discernible reason, surrounding elections and conspiracy theories in a state Trump has already pressured once. give this a read, for a preview of what's ahead. from @davidgilbert.bsky.social:

1/3 No one should have to rely on tips just to survive. The entire idea of “tip credit” in labour laws needs to be abolished, and minimum wage should actually be a living wage, as it was originally intended to be.
