I’m happy that Becerra is climbing up the polls

My first Earthset!

Stand back and stand by.

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

Trump *hates* drinking, which is why some people were surprised he nominated Hegseth to begin with. He was pissed at Patel for drinking on camera, so this might very well be the last straw.

Gerontocracy has always thrived in undemocratic places, and over the past several decades, it has taken root in the United States. How did America come to be ruled by an oligarchy of old people? Time for introduction of age limits both for voting and for running for any office. theatln.tc/lu3DYgzT

When you’re desperate to keep your job….

A lazy Sunday afternoon is a perfectly good time to subscribe to my Patreon and read some stuff and watch a few videos. Jump in now and you can be a hipster about it when I’m rich and famous.* *any day now. Pinkie swear.

The heaviest fighting – perhaps the only relevant fighting – will occur during a Democratic primary. With Trump bleeding support in national polls, the candidates suspect he’s even further underwater in the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, where Trump has decimated the federal workforce.

Ever notice, just before Trump’s beginning to lie about something, he looks down & to the right?

DOJ seeks to vacate insurrectionists’ convictions, while going after a former CIA Director: If Trump can make convictions disappear for allies while prosecuting critics, the damage isn’t just theoretical. Once that line is crossed, it doesn’t easily uncross itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

You’ll notice the worst of humanity always knows when the Pope condemns their own immorality and wrong doing even though he doesn’t call anyone out by name because they are the ones who will always attack and threaten him for it.

ALWAYS chose the bear, ladies!

Did you know, that with a library card, anyone can access reliable information, hands-on learning opportunities, and community programs that make it easier to become a more informed, confident participant in civic life? Here's how:

I liked him a whole lot for Hillary R. Clinton's veep.

Just because Caitlyn Jenner is an objectively horrible person doesn’t mean it’s okay to deadname her. Please don’t.

You are the best! Relaxing knowing the grown-ups are in charge is all too rarea feeling these days. You alone make me feel this way occasionally. Thanks! 💙

Mike Johnson will openly criticize the Pope, but he will never dare to criticize Christian Evangelicals. Hmmm...

Hey Starbucks, is this a good time to remind consumers that you have volatile organic compounds (VOCs) – specifically methylene chloride, benzene, and toluene (linked to cancer risk and neurotoxic effects) – in your coffee?

Sit back for a moment and contemplate: We live in a world where the Vice President and the Speaker of the House will both pick fights with the Pope while forever defending a sadistic, war-loving, convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, pedophile, who thinks he's Jesus.

Hey Mike Johnson, the whole world knows you can't pronounce "shibboleth".

Spot-on. Thank you, Michael de Adder

The sooner JD Vance admits that he hates himself, the better off America will be.

Free Meenu Batra. Now.

It’s frustrating, but not unexpected, that the administration has continued to downplay China and Russia’s involvement in helping Iran target US troops. If/when this ceasefire fails, I would expect to see a big initial strike from Iran - they’ve had plenty of time to plan. H/T: @acyn.bsky.social

Some 56,000 importers of the roughly 300,000 firms eligible for refunds have taken the steps needed to get their money back.

This is old news I think Don’t care It cheered me up .

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

Pilot shot down in Iran visits the White House. Looks familiar, can’t quite place her though

Dems running for the Senate posted some massive fundraising hauls in the first quarter. The most striking number so far: James Talarico brought in $27 million over the past three months.

MeidasTouch host Katie Phang testifies in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the proposed merger of Paramount-Skydance and Warner Bros.: "Democracy cannot survive if powerful people get to decide which facts are allowed to exist and what version of the truth they want to peddle for profit."

Hey Johnson, you're deliberately misquoting the Pope to manipulate the masses, Mikey. Pope Leo said, "He [Jesus] does not listen to the prayers of those who *wage* war, but rejects them." The US waged war. The US started it – not Iran.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater. This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning. Never doubt your power to change the system.

This GOP war with the Pope might be the new dumbest thing they’ve done, and as usual, it’s completely self-inflicted.

The Iceberg Theory, visualized:

The eyewatering hypocrisy writes itself.

I think this is the most likely explanation for what unfolded after the fact. #DonaldJChrist
