President "Lower Prices" has done nothing but find every possible strategy to raise prices on working people while doing nothing to make their lives better. Do the swing voters who voted for him realize that they were duped?

Invasive vines can be deadly for forests. But this past year, scrappy groups of @chesapeakeclimate.bsky.social volunteers have helped save nearly 1,000 trees across green spaces in Southeast and Northeast D.C. alone, @samdelgado.bsky.social reports:

it's just a fact. you can't have a global hegemon who every few years is at risk of electing a lunatic government that will undo treaties, start murdering people in international waters on a whim, stop aid programs, and slap wanton tariffs on the world capriciously. we have no credibility anymore

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

Obviously it would be outrageous to indict him, but it’s amazing that James Comey’s overriding concern in 2016 — leading to multiple violations of norms and policies — was trying to minimize the chances that Jason Chaffetz would yell at him

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Friday: a prosecutor is forced to resign bc he concludes there's not enough evidence to go after Trump's perceived enemies Saturday: Trump makes public post asking Attorney General why she hasn't gone after his enemies Wednesday: DOJ says enemy indictment coming right up sir do I have that right?

Chotiner: and then you didn't send him to jail, and he ran again? USA: I mean yes but we do have pretty robust institutions, you know, the supreme court and so on Chotiner: I see. So they were able to stop the worst of it? USA: Well now it um the thing you have to understand

The greatest minds of the right wing intellectual dark web think tank cannot -- or won't -- distinguish between "comic gets yelled at in comedy club for telling shitty joke about trans people" and "federal government forces corporation to pull comedian off the air for mocking President"

Canary down.

Shelby v. Holder, in 2013! Was a blatant, segregationist overreach by the supreme court! we barely had a multiracial democracy for 4 decades!

I have some! Here's is a gift article link! www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/w...

“The Mamdani administration will allocate $20 million per year to ensure that every school can have an Open Street. This money will support additional programming, operational support, and maintenance to ensure each child has access to clean, safe, and fun space—every day.”

Isaac Chotiner has invited me to sample some delicious Amontillado wine and I don’t know guys but I think I’m going to come out of this interview seeming like *quite* the wine expert

I subjected myself to Trump’s entire UN speech, and I honestly think this was the single most disgusting, disgraceful speech ever given by a US president. Every person in that room now knows beyond any doubt that the US is being run by deranged, hateful lunatics.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

According to Tom Homan, for the crime Tom Homan allegedly committed, Tom Homan should have his citizenship stripped away and be renditioned to a foreign prison without receiving due process in the courts. Sorry, Tom Homan, but those are Tom Homan's rules.

I do think if we ever see a coalitional breakdown in the GOP we're going to get some truly insane sex scandals coming out all at once as everyone unloads the blackmail shotguns they have pointed at each other

you look at all of this and it tells a very clear and unmistakable story no matter what the conservative justices say at conferences or in interviews or whatever they tell themselves

huh, the entire alberta energy grid was free for 16 hours yesterday wind power was overproducing, so it just... goes to zero apparently

All you fascists still bound to lose

And not just that Trump is uniquely evil as a Republican, above and beyond his predecessors, but everyone thats part of his cabinet is significantly worse/more evil than their R predecessors--not just Trump 1, but Bush too. We'd be noticeably better off rn if you swapped out for Bush's cabinet.

it has only very recently started sinking in with my friends who probably share the rough politics of OP’s friend here that trump really *is* evil at an entirely different order of magnitude than any republican who came before him in living memory, but at least it *is* starting to sink in

I met Dr. David Ho! He’s responsible for the fact that HIV is no longer a death sentence and his work has saved tens of millions of lives. Why he doesn’t have a Nobel Prize is beyond me. AMA.

Tom Homan accepted $50k in bribes from FBI agents in exchange for government contracts. The Trump admin knew and covered it up. The corrupt protect the corrupt. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rc...

Some new street art spotted in DC 🤣

Where is it written in the Constitution that the president can murder people at will as long as he accuses them of drug running while offering zero evidence?

It's particularly the case among the Americans who are paid to decide which news is important, and who despite everything still can't bring themselves to accurately describe the fact that the president is serially murdering people and our systems are unable to stop him

i think one thing people have a hard time grasping is that the central figures of the trump administration are not bad as in "the worst republican blowhard you know," but bad as in "the worst people you have ever heard of." donald trump is a serial rapist whose best friend was a pedophile.

In light of recent events, I have made the decision to call upon President Trump to resign.

POV: Holding a fire sale of the family silver. DC residents deserved a much better deal than we're getting on the RFK site.

So Tom Homan is a criminal who's locking up people who have committed no crimes

it’s being reported border czar Tom Homan was caught in a 2024 FBI sting for taking a $50,000 bribe. The Trump DOJ closed the investigation without charges when it took over. What I want to know is what Trump’s cut of that $50Gs was. Isn’t that how it works? www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
