🚨 BREAKING: The Senate parliamentarian struck the GOP provision that would have spent $1 billion in taxpayer money on Trump’s proposed White House ballroom, according to Senate Budget Committee Democrats. The parliamentarian ruled that the provision violated the Byrd Rule.

Melania Trump infesting the White House with bees is the funniest thing no one's talking about right now #Bees #WhiteHouse

Chinese newspaper cartoon (Today... 😂 )

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

That man leapt out of the frying pan and straight into the fire 😂

Trump hearing "cisgender" and thinking its "six genders" then getting all mad about it, thus forcing other Republicans to agree that the libs are now demanding there be six genders, is a perfect encapsulation of our Golden Age of Dickishness and Stupidity.

Oh f*ck off. We would all be a hell of a lot better if we spoke multiple languages. Still pisses me off that my immigrant Italian family was ashamed of speaking Italian outside of the home.

legit enjoyed this more than every baseball game i have ever been forced to watch COMBINED

coachella deserves to be yeeted into the sun for this

Can we agree that anyone who runs for president ought to have stepped inside a grocery store and bought gas so they have an actual idea what rising prices actually mean? Can we also agree no more sociopaths who lack the capacity for empathy and shame?

the open-mouthed expression this anchor holds for the first 45 seconds is incredible

How can he possibly stay safe without a ballroom?

y'all know how this works

Is he. Is he quoting Ice Cube

Pope Leo picks formerly undocumented immigrant to lead West Virginia Catholics www.washingtonpost.com/religion/202...

I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)

Grandpa Chaos is losing all self-control. You don't have to be a geriatrician to recognize the signs. Many of us have/had relatives w/dementia where that social filter is completely *gone* or occurs during sundowning. We wouldn't hand them keys to the car, let alone serve as POTUS. 📺 is.gd/iTKa0x

Trump cuts in front of Queen Camilla to shake some hands

Statue of limitations has not expired on this tweet.

Hasn’t whined about needing a ballroom to feel safe

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.

Ha! Good catch, lol. 😂

left to right these category photos on chewy read like "what did you say?" "you heard me" "oh shiiiiit"

The first photo here is fake. A still from the same moment shows that Trump's head wasn't drooping like that. Also, he'd just adjusted his tie, which is why the guy two to the left of RFK is looking at him. Actual still at right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ctx...

you there! fetch my smallest of stringed instruments

However you've lined up politically in the past, if you're worried about where our country is headed, you belong in this conversation. Here are my full opening remarks from last night in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Thankful to the people of Oklahoma for such a warm welcome back.

We owe each other a country where at least the things that two-thirds of Americans can agree on actually get done. When something is broken in this country, we have to do what it takes to fix it. Thank you, Tulsa, for the warm welcome back - and for showing us what a better future looks like.

Sir, we’ve lost the whites.

Don't let anyone tell you that an area is too red or too far out of reach for our message. Just look at how many people turned out on a Saturday night in April, in a gym in Oklahoma.

Actually got choked up remembering having a president like this.

Bill Nye and hundreds of Planetary Society members are heading to DC on Monday to protest the White House's proposal to slash NASA's science budget in half. These cuts were announced as the Artemis astronauts were on their way to the Moon:

Be sure to read the whole thing.

Oh sorry, so religion and politics should be separate? Is that what you're saying? bsky.app/profile/atru...

BALINT: Are you trying to get revenge on states that did not vote for your boss? VOUGHT: What's interesting about your question is Joe Biden-- BALINT: Oh, for goodness' sake!

OKLAHOMA — Principal Kirk Moore is a hero

Every once in a while, I like to watch this video clip of Joe Biden comforting a grieving Parkland family to remind myself what compassionate leadership looks like. This is the stuff I truly miss.

Is Trump resurrecting Jeffrey Epstein?

Marge not holding back

see how easy this is?

JD Vance is on a historic roll: He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose. Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses. Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably. Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.

Viktor Orban has conceded the election. The opposition is on course for landslide win. Orban was favored by both Trump and Putin. JD Vance campaigned for him. Trump even dangled financial incentives. The people had the last word. It was a hell no to more fascism. It’s our turn now.

"Moon joy" is real, but it has an important lesson for us too: Public service and public life is a gift and something to treasure—the uncommon chance to do something for a cause bigger than yourself. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-pure-j...

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

these motherfuckers said it would splashdown at 8:07 and it splashed down at 8:07. after going to the fucking moon. fucking a man. god damn
