When Trump said he would bring on a "New Golden Age," he was talking about his wallet.

The most religious states are the worst states.

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “They’re talking about getting rid of the Voting Rights Act — that may likely happen in months… they’re rewriting history… ANTI-WOKE IS ANTI-BLACK… we’re not doing enough. We’re not calling this out.” Full: youtu.be/H5_tNkzX1yg?...

Worst. President. EVER.

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked. Part of my conversation on @ayman.msnbc.com earlier today.

While we’re on the subject of Ronald Reagan.

'Solar System' quilt by Ellen Harding Baker of Cedar County, Iowa, US in 1876, she used her textile work as a teaching aid for her lectures on astronomy in the small towns of her state. Find out more in the first Womensart book, Unravelling Women's Art on textile artist rebels and pioneers!

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

If you see this, post a Frankenstein!

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

GOP: burning a flag disrespects the people who fought and died for that symbol Also GOP: hahaha the White House is ours and we'll bulldoze it if we like, just be glad we left you the other half for now

Jeffries: "He's found time to demolish the East Wing in the most horrific way possible bc he wants to erect a ballroom so he can be celebrated like a king. He's found time for all of these different things, but somehow can't be bothered to find a dime to extend the ACA tax credits."

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

DHS kvetches about masked agents getting "doxxed," but it has no problem posting the full names of people it accuses of somehow hampering agents on a govt website. For all the scary language, a search of the federal court case system this a.m. returns no results for anyone named in this presser.

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone. New York has her back. Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

The wealth of the richest 1% in America just hit a record $52 trillion. These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now about the shutdown is meant to distract you from this.

Q: Can the president tear down anything he wants without oversight? Could he demolish this building or the Jefferson Memorial? LEAVITT: Only for vertical construction will a submission be required. Q: So it sounds like the answer is yes

CHUMP'S A TRAITOR........

im sorry but if you think “normies” dont care about the white house being demolished for a half billion dollar golden vanity ballroom as the economy implodes then you just arent as plugged in as you think you are

🙄

Absolutely no one spends $350 million on a remodel to a house they plan on leaving in three years. No one!!!

Jeffries on a death threat made against him by a pardoned J6 criminal: "Not a single Republican has reached out to me since that incident occurred, and that's no surprise because they cannot defend the fact that Donald Trump pardoned hundreds of violent felons who brutally beat police officers."
