Trump responds to charges that pardons are for sale by pardoning a guy named Buyer www.nytimes.com/2026/06/06/u...

Many of the Americans who landed on the beaches on D-Day were immigrants and the children of immigrants. The "America First" xenophobes who supported the Nazis hated them.

Just hit exactly 1,000 followers. That number will doubtless fall rapidly after some much-needed bot-pruning, but the nice round figure pleases us for now.

mr president theyre saying your naps are too powerful, your snoozles have too much swag, you have to stop stunting on them donald trump: no

So for the several years it will take to build pipelines (which are even easier than ships to bomb & disrupt), the markets will continue to "adjust" by profiting from betting on increasing oil prices, so the rich will get richer. The rest of us? Pffff.

A wee clip for your "IT'S A CULT" bingo card.

Don't skip the part where he says our military "wants to do it", meaning they want to "wipe out" everyone in Iran He means Hegseth, but just the casual way he refers to the U.S. military eager to commit genocide against an entire nation is sickening

Once a sleazy lawyer, always a sleazy lawyer.

"Republicans could not make it much clearer that their party is entirely given over to bigotry, rage, and bullying. There are no issues to compromise on.... The only question is whether women, queer people, non-white people, and indeed Democrats as a whole are human beings ...."

This is pretty creepy - national security is now in the hands of a house-building empire trust fund baby whose only qualification is a willingness to persecute anyone Dear Leader tells him to. AND he’ll still do his former job. Trump is tightening his inner circle exponentially.

Why some book reviewers insist that ebooks increase productivity #booksandcats #catsandbooks #nothelping

A moment of silence for a 2nd-degree murderer convicted 4 YEARS AGO but not for Alex Prettie and Renee Goode, actual murder victims shot by GOP-paid mercenaries this year.

People can wave off the Kik stuff at their own peril. I'm not kidding. This guy parachuted down from the heavens like 9 months ago, has never held public office, and is about to become a Senator. He's got no voting record and all we know about this guy is he's got a hundred red flags

once again i am asking democrats to repeat calling these fucking weirdos weird

…. And @kenwhite.bsky.social will be changing his handle to “Various Other Aspects of Nuclear Hat” in 3….2….1….

Oh man, what happened to America after the great Coolidge presidency? Was it awesome? I bet it was awesome.

Privatizing prisons and detention facilities is one of the worst public policy decisions this country has ever made. bsky.app/profile/atru...

holy shit nobody has ever answered a question worse

While their Dear Leader gets weirder and more incoherent every day, the GOPs in congress focus on stealing votes in every state they can manage to because it's their only hope of clinging to power.

He's bragging (and lying) about coining an insult that a 5-year-old could have come up with. He also genuinely didn't know how to spell "dumb."

Trump’s behavior on social media today is so unhinged even by his standards that I can’t help but wonder what the doctors really told him the other day. This is a deeply unwell person.

The fact that this report is pretty much the same as last year's despite his obvious deterioration is strong evidence that both reports were total bullshit.

You can tell how scared they are by how childish their attacks become. Sure, surround Paxton with entourages of looksmaxxing, sneering skinheads and see just how many ranchers and nurses and oilmen will line up to vote for him.

The Texas campaign is going to be ugly, as a bunch of pathetic, insecure Republicans shout “He’s gay!” at James Talarico. Because real men live in a state of constant terror that they aren’t performing manhood properly, right? paulwaldman.substack.com/p/the-insecu...

So this "Great American State Fair" thing: 1) Why is it being held in the only part of the continental US that ISN'T a state? 2) What does 47 think his precious "Reflecting Lake" is going to look like after all the "fairgoers" finish tossing their funnel cake plates and corn dog wrappers in it?

Remember the good old days when Republicans routinely accused the Democratic party machines of buying votes?

Just checked and . . . yep, they're all still fascists.

Beginning in 1934, the Reich Minister for Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, never denied the existence of concentration camps, instead he defended them as necessary to defend the blood and honor of the German people from murderers, rapists, pedophiles and drug dealers.

If a commenter expresses disapproval when you mock an evil regime person’s appearance, you don’t really need to sneer at their “pearl-clutching.” Some of us have been called ugly all our lives and tried to be good people anyway. Mock the assholes’ behavior, not their looks, please and thank you.

With the country at war and Americans struggling due to soaring energy and grocery prices, the president of the United States has sdevoted the past 20 minutes of his Cabinet meeting boasting about the amount of time and money he's spending on fountains and reflecting pools.

RNC 2026 strategy: speak like 8-year-olds because you assume that’s the cognitive level of your constituents.

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

Trump posted the exact same (crazy) thing on Truth Social 8 days apart. The cognitive isn't cognitiving.

Does that mean billionaires will be handing out their stocks to working people?

This is great. I quite like the refrain, "Do you all see it?" This is the key question of the Trump era: do you see what he's doing to our country? Do you see what he wants to do if we don't stop him?

The HHS Secretary treating two harmless creatures cruelly for his own amusement. I hope those bites get infected.

Welp, looks like thinking of ourselves as a haven for “climate refugees” might be a little premature…

I think that if allowing Nazis into the conversation was necessary to fostering a free and open society, it would have created a free and open society by now.

Trump: “only complete and total surrender” Iran: “nah” Trump: “Ok then no nukes ever! We want the nuclear dust!” Iran: “we’re keeping it” Trump: “ok!!!! We have a deal” Foxnews crowd:

I'm confused - does he believe that transgender women want to play on men's teams? Or does he think Jaxson wants to transition so he can play on women's teams?

I fear Trump skipping his son's birthday to spend the weekend in DC -- something he normally isn't keen to do -- is a sign we should brace for him to do something crazy this weekend

The likelihood of another US-Israel bombing campaign against Iran or a US military action against Cuba just went up.

Trump’s habit of playful sexual harassment of younger men makes me think that his true calling is as the drag queen MC of a midsize city cabaret variety show.

I wish ONE journalist would ask this sleazy lawyer whether his defense of using tax dollars to pay reparations to people who have been "hurt by their government" extends to victims of ICE, civil servants who have lost their jobs, BIPOC who have been wrongfully arrested, etc., etc.?

What people are not grasping is that 2 x 0 = 0

They invent a term, "biological women," which has NO scientific meaning and is only meant to exclude anyone who is not a cisgender woman -- and then get all offended when no one else will acknowledge that term.

He's said this a few times, so apparently he actually thinks this is a clever gotcha. It's like saying Democrats weren't protesting Burger King or The Lion King.

“Let’s throw people in prison because they broke the law.” Excellent! Can we start with the adjudicated rapist and convicted felon you work for?
