DELBENE: You gave DOGE access to Treasury systems housing Americans' sensitive data. What specific measures, if any, have you taken to protect the affected individuals' data? BESSENT: Would you care to look up what does 'inadvertent' mean? DELBENE: You are in charge!

Oh my god

u probably thought that MerMay is over? well it's not. #ofmdmerMay #ofmdmermay2026 #merstede

“Government stats say incomes after adjusting for inflation are now declining YoY. What do you say to that?” “Yeah, well, we are also starving people and kicking them off health care”

This is so unbelievably disgusting

Reporters don't talk enough about how Republicans do not consider Democratic voters to be fully American.

The subtext here is they landed on blaming immigrants for a 2 trillion deficit That’s the play It’s all Somali daycare operators’s fault

I continue to be amazed by the new ways this administration finds to threaten the whole nation's economic survival, simply in order to be seen as sufficiently cruel to a given group of people

yeah this is just lying like, this isn’t fudging, “we’ve only used this projection that’s favorable to us” type statistics manipulation like we’re used to, this is just flat out up is down black is white lying in the service of pushing nazi policy and it should be treated as such

Whoa, so cool!!! Leap, don’t walk, to manifest for Samba! 🤞🤞❤️

The completely hilarious family dynamics aside, it's so funny to hear him talk about "getting killed" by the media for attending when he's been regularly golfing during the Iran War and it has mostly elicited shrugs from mainstream news outlets.

"They leaked his tax returns, they tried to destroy him." If revealing your official tax returns -- something every single president and VP for forty years before Trump did voluntarily -- could possibly "destroy" you, that is the scandal.

World-class shamelessness

Vance uses the word “allegedly” an impressive number of times in reference to a statement the president said on camera

The entire Republican strategy is that Trump will do some new awful thing today, so they’ll never be questioned about this awful thing Trump just did. So they just need to play dumb for a few hours.

We've become numb to this stuff, but a president accusing a journalist of treason -- a capital crime -- for reporting on an ongoing war is not normal, and we should never accept it as normal.

I think a lot about how Business & Media & Political Elite treat Trump's posts on tariffs & appointments as *law*, but then just ignore his deranged ramblings. They are both posts in the same location, by same person, under same constraints: yet Elite seamlessly elevate some to law and ignore others

Genuinely funny that Alito just wrote a whole opinion making clear that the only thing Republicans have to do to gerrymander Black people out of electoral existence is say "this is about politics, not race," and then this genius is like CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW MANY BLACK PEOPLE ARE IN THAT DISTRICT??

Everyone knows Representatives are not supposed to represent those who live in their district, but all those who live outside of their district

"What we've seen in the last 10 days has astonished me. I wasn't cynical enough. Because I thought the Callais ruling had come too late in the cycle for southern states with VRA-protected districts to dismantle them." New episode of @davidnir.com & Rupar is live: www.publicnotice.co/p/what-the-v...

Pete Buttigieg took a brief leave when his son was in the ICU and Republicans still attack him for it to this day. But Duffy goes on an extended vacation to shoot a reality show while there are all sorts of pressing problems with air travel and Fox News thinks it's awesome. Beyond parody.

A good deal of Trumpism today consists in telling non-farmers, non-migrants, non-minorities, and non-disabled people that Trumpism is great for farmers, migrants, minorities, graduates, and disabled people, actually

**blinks in minneapolis**

Rep. Buddy Carter calls for Georgia officials to toss out already cast votes: "We need to suspend the House races and go ahead and redistrict so that Georgians would be represented in the next two years by people who represent their values. Georgia is a Republican state. We need to remember that."

Lauren Groh-Wargo, CEO of Fair Fight Action, to @weareufd.bsky.social: "This is not just a southern fight. They are coming for the Black and brown majority districts in blue states. They are coming for our power everywhere ... we have to fight back hard now."

Love the "threshold of restarting major combat operations." It's a phrase manufactured to sound like legalese applying a rational standard, but it's not. It's made-up to pretend we're not currently in a war that we started (what was the "threshold" for that?) and are losing.

In the now all-too-common category of things that are completely unsurprising and yet utterly shocking, Republicans have completely memory-holed the killings of the Hortmans and shootings of the Hoffmans in Minnesota. As far as they’re concerned it just never happened.

I kind of question any interview that doesn’t have a follow up to, “You have to show ID to walk in a restaurant.”

Warnock: "I know that there are those who are tired of the remedy. I'm tired of racism. I think it's a strange position to be more concerned about the medicine than you are about the malady."

WELKER: Do you believe minority voters are represented equally in this country? BLANCHE: Yes. There is no doubt the Supreme Court got this decision right.

Calling Democrats “treasonous” and “human garbage” would’ve been a big deal in any other era. Now it’s just another fucking Saturday.

Trump: “I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us, but can’t imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Bringing back three paintings of @sambaschutte.bsky.social and Roach I've done over the years, because I don't think I've actually posted them on bsky and I'm still immensely proud of them A beauty and a heart that deserves to be painted with care 🙂‍↕️ #ofmd #ofmdroach #roachofmd #ourflagmeansdeath

Buttons!!! 😍

Disgustingly, virulently racist

I'm just glad the Constitution isn't alive to see this

Such pretty artwork of Belle--one of my favorite Disney princesses! From @luztapiaart.bsky.social www.inprnt.com/gallery/luzt...

JD Vance: "Political violence is coming largely from one side of the aisle. The president has now faced three serious attempts on his life ... " (Melissa and Mark Hortman aren't available for comment)

Blanche straight-up admits the suspect has been charged with the crime without vital evidence. Not to say that bringing guns to the scene and the written statements themselves are not proof of a crime, but literally, Blanche expresses uncertainty about the validity of the charges already filed.

Imagine going to space on a publicly funded project of discovery, seeing how small and fragile our earth is, and then returning to live in a country dead set on destruction and division. Their blood is probably boiling in a way we can’t fully comprehend.

Thoughts and prayers for all the Republican members of Congress who are going to have to go on TV and pretend to be this stupid

When fascists call for unity, it means "you quit fighting back." Always. Every time.

By this same logic, Donald Trump bears direct personal responsibility for the murder of Melissa Hortman, the assault on Paul Pelosi, the guy who showed up armed at the Obamas, the attempted pipe bombing of several prominent Democrats, the January 6th rioters who assaulted cops, and many many more.

It's an understudied element of our media environment that Republicans can insult Democrats in any way they see fit, regardless of propriety or truth value, without repercussion, but Dems are consistently forced to use measured tones to describe Republicans no matter how outrageous their actions.

It’s absolutely bonkers how often they set him up with a complete softball and he’s like, “Yeah, the thing is, I don’t care about other people. Like, at all. LOL.’

Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

Trump administration checking the blocks in quite literal terms ✅️ Ignorance is strength ✅️ War is peace 🟩 Freedom is slavery

“Not as long as Vietnam” is some truly top tier marketing for this war.

No, everything’s fine, it’s just the president of the United States beefing with Martin Luther King Jr. over crowd size

If you socialize with the worlds most notorious child trafficker and are the Commerce Secretary you don't get the luxury to only respond to questions about the budget.
