Just imagine for a moment that Bernie and AOC were our congressional opposition leaders. This town hall, and their ability to actually speak to the base and the American people and not be beholden to the very same donors as MAGA is what we need. Clear and present leadership. It's not hard, Jeffries!

Omg 😂😂 Seriously. This man and his team are so very good at this politics thing.

Please everyone understand that this is the oligarchs ordaining themselves as kings and labeling their constituents as peasants. The republican voters in rural counties should know that they are seen as peasants, incapable of earning their keep or obtaining the profit/product of their work.

The Dodgers are the single most obnoxious sports team and organization and I do not understand how people can like them.

Mike Johnson — man of deep faith, we are told — wants pastors to be shot in the head with pepper balls.

It pains me because I was a Cubs fan my whole life, but as a Milwaukeean now, roll out the barrel! We got something special brewing!

Cankles McTaco Tits over here can't even count to 5 properly. Sad.

Pritzker to @gregsargent.bsky.social: "Trump says a lot of crazy things. I genuinely think there's something wrong with him. I wish his family would intervene... I don’t think anybody around is going to do it bc they’re benefiting from his dementia" Full interview: newrepublic.com/article/2016...

This is terrifying! ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents) This is Trump’s America.

The brain worm guy is literally out here saying circumcision causes autism now. I have no words.

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.” … but what is plenary authority?

This is the most grotesque, disturbing shit y'all. There's no sugar coating the cruelty and outright inhumanity that this country is displaying.

The guy can't even remember the title of the book he "wrote", might genuinely think 9/11 happened last year, made clear he believes that he knew or spoke with Pete Kegbreath prior to 9/11, and somehow we're still questioning if he's mentally sound. He's got full-blown dementia.

Lmao. I don't care of you watch porn. But the Republicans are OBSESSED transphobes, preaching "family values" at everyone while consuming tonssss of trans porn, crashing Grinder any time they get together, and repeatedly having their candidates prosecuted for sex crimes. The HYPOCRISY.

I get not liking Newsom, I certainly don't, but this is lovely and we, on the whole, need to keep attacking Trump and his goons in this way. Their vanity and narcissism cannot handle it.

MIKE LEE: Russ Vought has been dreaming about this moment since puberty MIKE JOHNSON: Russ Vought does not enjoy this responsibility

“If you can beat the oligarchs here…that will send a message to every community in America that real change is possible.” More of my conversation with Bernie Sanders on democracy, oligarchy and his time as Mayor.

If Stephen Miller's so tough and ruthless I'd welcome him to a match in the octagon any time.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

It blows my mind that you could be a respected general, asked to listen to Kegbreath and the orange felon tell you to betray the country you swore to serve, and somehow be happy to lose your country to those two. I hope they don't all fall in line. But come on. I'm not losing America to these morons

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

It's disturbing that the whole right-wing aperatus hasn't spun up to call yesterday's madman shooter a "horrific monster" or talk about how he "mutilated" his mind, represents the "American Jihad" of white, cis, straight, Christian male shooters. They're silent, and I want all gun violence gone.

1. A day after the Michigan church shooting, Republicans are silent after learning the shooter was a MAGA extremist. No investigations of Trump supporters as terrorists. No national conversations about the rights of cisgender men. The silence is deafening. Subscribe to support our journalism.

It's hard to watch and hear about what the US "fans" at the Ryder Cup said and how they behaved. It's really no wonder the world hates us at this point. We're becoming such vile and insufferable people where volume=virtue and tribalist hate is encouraged. I despise it. We should be better than this.

This is fucking horrifying.

I know he's horrible and it's not actually that funny, but I cannot help but laugh hysterically every time I hear Tr*mp's "I think very well and by the way have you seen these trucks?" it would be such comedic gold if there weren't people who actually gave this moron power.

There should not be a Democrat alive who doesn't denounce this shit. It's not anti-semetic to say that maybe the the tyrant, genocidal, fascist Netanyahu is a war criminal doing unspeakable things. It is profoundly anti-semetic that he does these things while blasphemously using Judaism as a shield.

I cannot stress enough that authoritarians' entire goal is to make you feel alone. But this man is historically unpopular. We are many, they are few. And Trump's repeated outbursts are nothing more than a weak man trying to cloak how pathetic and frail he is with the might of the media.

Utah is so virulently bigoted they want to rename the street Harvey Milk Blvd to Charlie Kirk Blvd and I just have no more words. These people are psychotic.

The way the NYT covers this, while they helped to create a similar moral panic that preceded Skrmetti, might be the thing that drives me mad.

When I write on my bullets, I only use 15c ballpoint pens.

The way the right continues to try and blame the left for gun violence when it is the left who actually supports gun laws and, to a much larger degree, despises guns and is incapable of doing anything but write a strongly worded letter.... It's just a pathetic reach. That's all.

Trump's ability to completely embarrass himself with his unconscionable stupidity would be hilarious if there weren't so many fluffers around him who take him the least bit seriously. His teleprompter failing and him putting the full force of his brain-rot into a speech before the UN is a SPECTACLE.

I'm so happy to be out of Utah. But it is truly staggering how much our elected officials hate doing anything their constituents ask them to do. They want nothing but power and money. They do not care about you in the slightest, and you should not vote these kinds of people back into office.

I'm curious, how many articles can the New York Times publish about Charlie Kirk before 10AM today? The first ammendment is falling and all they know how to do is parrot the hate the weak lil boys in power spew to keep their base riled and clueless and maintain their straw of power.

Truly, WGA and SAG should both collectively strike and refuse to work with Disney and affiliated companies. If they think they can avoid being shut down by obeying in advance, we the people ought to show them that we will shut them down the moment they bend the knee.

Now, when he says shit like this it's just because he's literally dumb as shit and barely has any functioning brain cells, especially in his old, senile age. But hey. Big numbers sound so cool, right? He's like. Smart. The smartest president anyone has ever seen.

When he says shit like this, he's setting things up so that when Dems take back the House/Senate a year from now, he can blame them for the economy being positively destroyed. He knows it will be destroyed by him but will say "If we had kept control of Congress, things would be a lot better. A lot."

For the record, I give it 3 weeks until the dude turns up mysteriously dead. And BTW, has no one spoken with the roommate? Are they locked in a dungeon somewhere? I find it so odd they'd let the media tell their story and their lawyer wouldn't put out a statement.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

What a sick and evil individual. The Trump regime's comments in the past few days should be viewed as one of the greatest scandals of our time.

Holy fucking shit you have got to be kidding me. Seriously. Fuck all of these people in power. Fuck their fascist nonsense. Fuck the violent world they envision for us all.

JD Vance: “Charlie Kirk never said Black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously. He never uttered those words.” Charlie Kirk: “Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Ketanji Brown Jackson — you do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken seriously.”

Because I care about the law and due process and seeking justice correctly and legally I just want to say that the whole "The shooter isn't cooperating with us" thing is crazy. Duh. Any lawyer would have told him to STFU. It is nuts to pout about this while still speculating and blaming via hearsay.

Trump's "I think very well and by the way have you seen my ballroom?" clip is really sending me today. There's just no way to even caracature his narcissism any better. There was no pause. No breath. Literally not a single care for his "son". Just pure narcissism.

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

It says so very much that HBCUs get these threats despite having exactly nothing whatsoever to do with UVU while the entire media is trying to repaint Kirk as some saint who definitely never served as any sort of agitative propagandist engaged in bad-faith "debate" targeting impressionable youth.

No there were just calls for a race war, the president threatening our lives, bomb threats called into black colleges and the president sending troops to storm black cities in response to Tyler, Charlie and white on white crime:

it’s early but it seems like maybe this is relevant again (wrote it last week fml)

It really is a grim ritual that we have so many acts of violence that evolve into another grim ritual of everyone waiting to see what team the maniac played for, and half the time that has already been decided by the grim ritual of everyone speculating before anyone has any clue about it
