I wonder how the family of Corey Comperatore, killed by a bullet aimed at “47,” feels about this ad.

Proud of my Senator, making Good Trouble!

When my little sister was a toddler, we would offer her the choice between 2 pennies and a nickel. She'd pick the 2 pennies every time. When Presidementia talks about "doing numbers," that's the kind of numbers I think he's doing.

it's almost like tariffs increase prices

Do journalists really want to put their names behind the claim that palling around with someone known to be a child sex predator—to say nothing of the months-long coverup we’ve all witnessed—does not constitute “wrongdoing”? Apparently yes they do.

Hmmmm, how did I miss Biden mobilizing ICE & the National Guard to arrest and deport a lot of cows?

The annoying thing about Larry Summers is that he will not get anywhere near the heat and scrutiny for this as anyone else would for something like listing their pronouns in a syllabus.

Hey fellow olds! Want to make the 7-22 year olds in your life REALLY ANNOYED? Play them this (it’s actually quite lovely):

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Say what you will about social media, but there was no other point in history where you got to read thousands of people trying to explain Catholicism directly to the Pope

Why read past headlines: I use Mace's idiocy to unpack the lies most Republican women tell themselves to justify backing Trump. They want to believe the threats are immigrants and trans women. But the real predators tend to look like Trump. www.salon.com/2025/11/14/s...

He looks so happy when he lies. Like every time he lies a christofascist angel gets its wings.

All facts

I personally know a spiritual leader, @selenafoxnews.bsky.social, who has spent much of her career lobbying (successfully!) to get military recognition, including headstones in VA cemeteries, for Pagan enlisted folks. It's an official religion! So sorry you can't grow a beard, Pete.

A friend attending the Commanders game just sent a video of the crowd loudly booing Dear Leader and I love my fellow Americans.

Y’all, when you call your senators IT DOES MATTER! Thanks for listening to us, @slotkin.senate.gov

The real choice, no matter how much Senators wish it weren't: "Unfortunately, making things better for the American people coming out of this shutdown is probably not an option. Either Trump makes things worse with Democratic affirmation, or Trump makes things worse despite Democratic opposition."

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

This just in: Donald Trump has ordered state governments to starve babies.

I had the great pleasure of interviewing Simon Tolkien (grandson of JRRT) about his latest book, "The Room of Lost Steps," an engrossing coming-of-age story set during the Spanish Civil War. Thanks to @histnovsoc.bsky.social for the opportunity! #historicalnovels #tolkien

It’s unfair that Trump gets to sleep through his presidency and the rest of us have to be awake for it

Since the average hospital visit can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, is that what he's planning to send each of us? Cool! Or -- bear with me on this -- is he proposing to HAVE THE GOVERNMENT REIMBURSE US FOR ALL OUR HEALTHCARE? Even cooler! Welcome to socialized medicine, Mr. Prez!

Trump: "I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE."

still hasn't figured out what dogs do

BREAKING: SCOTUS issues emergency order temporarily blocking full SNAP food aid payments. Trump is the most cruel & barbaric man imaginable. He is claiming the government will be permanently harmed by ensuing hungry Americans are fed. This will kill low income people. This is structural eugenics.

Trump arrives in FL for another weekend of parties and golf while his attorneys fight in the Supreme Court to deny food to SNAP beneficiaries despite a court order.

He could easily have complied with the court order & continued blaming Democrats for the shutdown, but he went BACK to BEG to be allowed to take food away from moms & babies. He WANTS to do that. HE wants to do that. Can his followers see what trash he is NOW?

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

@katemanne.bsky.social perfectly encapsulates why these people keep doing things that most of us find incomprehensible.

How it started. vs. How it's going.

@histnovsoc.bsky.social November edition of Historical Novels Review is out! I reviewed this charming adaptation of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park, set in Depression-era Wisconsin. #booksky #historicalfiction #austen

Trump taking a victory lap because Walmart made their Thanksgiving meal smaller and crappier (and hence cheaper) is such a perfect encapsulation of his hucksterism

Seems important

Just musing here, but isn’t one of the first things they recommend to folks with dementia is to tag things they use regularly with helpful sticky-note labels?

Capitalism is, by definition, a thousand little sequential regime changes around which markets must adapt. I know that's a broader definition than what Wall Street would agree with, but watching them flip out about the mayoral election makes me think they might not understand their own philosophy

“With Trump in the Oval Office, “news” should no longer be defined as what the president of the United States says or writes or thinks, because the president of the United States is incapable of coherent thought.” @rbreich.bsky.social cutting to the chase as usual.

Mamdani: "We believe in standing up for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job ... your struggle is ours too."

Despite vile Islamophobic campaigning, Muslims won historic victories in NY and VA, the targets of the 9/11 attacks Perhaps Trump hasn’t permanently halted America’s slow march towards a true multi-ethnic democracy

I got bad news for Trump about every election going forward from now until the end of time

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

I’d love to ask my rural neighbors why, even if they dislike Dems & blame them for the shutdown, they would support a man who uses them as a political weapon and clearly doesn’t care if they can’t afford to eat.

Cheney dying on election day is not quite the level of dramatic irony of Jefferson and Adams both dying on the fourth of July but if this is a portent, O Lord, I'm on board with it.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Running gag goes meta as Johnson says he knows nothing about Trump knowing nothing

Dems please bookmark this and replay it forever

scott, would those sectors perhaps be “employment” and “prices”?

Trump just held a Gatsby-themed party at Mar-a-Lago, which proves a) he doesn’t give a shit about the millions of Americans starving without food stamps and b) no one has told him how The Great Gataby ends
