Telling Trump not to do something because somewhere down the road it will bite him in the ass is pointless. He only wants to do what feels good now.

This is bad news for Hunter Biden. bsky.app/profile/char...

In their darkest moments when they could not believe HOW FUCKING BORING IT WAS TO COVER JOE BIDEN, the press could not have imagined things turning out so well for them. Addicted to the chaos, the access, the JUICE of watching democracy circle the drain. 🙄

There was and is vanishingly little evidence of Trump's deal making prowess, it was and is a myth he created that people like Jonathan Lemire perpetuated to help Trump launch his political career 🙄

This is Nacho. He has big feelings. Every stuffed animal he owns is very aware of this. 14/10 (IG: nacho_thekneadydog)

oh hey I did another one of these things www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

JFK completes mostly successful Dallas parade.

Trump's like a dumber version of Tom Ripley, where he gets himself into a bunch of trouble but then lucks out at the end and walks away scot-free.

MIGA. Make Iran Great Again.

Donald Trump promised the war in Iran would end with unconditional surrender. But he never said which country would do the surrendering.

Wall Street says that a company that loses billions is worth trillions, because it is run by a guy who lies all the time about everything (Elon Musk) cepr.net/publications...

Thinking of this Watergate era Doonesbury this morning.

I don’t think law enforcement should drop charges against child molesters and hand the molesters checks from US taxpayers just because said molesters also got convicted in court for assaulting police officers as part of a violent attack on America. Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

This is because two times zero is still zero. We need to think in terms of raising Jeff's taxes to a certain annual sum, say $30 billion a year. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Hard to believe that the guy who screwed things up his whole life would scew up being president.

Here we are 1/3rd of the way through Trump's term.

Trump's gloating about GOP candidate he opposed losing but the candidate he supported in LA got only 28% of the vote and Massie still got 45% of the vote. These are in the most MAGA areas of the country. So, in addition to splitting the GOP, Trump may be demonstrating weakness.

Interesting how fascist republicans falsely claimed all Jan 6 terrorists were paid actors, undercover FBI agents and Antifa to pretend it wasn’t MAGA voters but now they’re okay with paying them nearly $2B in stolen taxpayer dollars. Funny how that works.

Look how much money Trump has saved the taxpayer! Instead of costing the taxpayer $10 billion, Trump's worthless, frivolous lawsuit will only cost the taxpayer $1.776 billion. bsky.app/profile/rpar...

Whenever I see Mike Johnson talking, I, some reason, remember what Sinclair Lewis said.

Actually, the lesson is that if you take a principled stand that a guy who fomented an attempted insurrection shouldn't hold public office you should stick to your principles instead of cravenly sucking up to save your career. Thank you for listening to my TED Talk

It might have been helpful to mention that just before the 2024 election, many observers, including the Economist, thought America’s “economic trajectory” looked exceptionally strong relative to the rest of the post-pandemic, post-supply chain crisis world.

Nostradamus predicted a great swarm of bees. Just saying. bsky.app/profile/tedc...

Kamala Harris had a more progressive voting record in the Senate than Bernie Sanders. If you’re acting like her talking about progressive priorities is hypocritical or a flip flop, you just don’t know her. This who she’s always been.

First, this dishonors the 900 dead whose remains are still aboard the Arizona. it's like playing softball in Arlington Cemetery. Second that water is not clean. Oil is still leaking from the Arizona. So, stupid and dishonorable. bsky.app/profile/kyle...

How Ghislaine Maxwell refers to her current digs: “The food is legions better, the place is clean, the staff is responsive and polite,” Maxwell wrote in an email to her brother. Staff? newrepublic.com/post/210439/...

The corruption is beyond anything we have ever seen.

Wholesale prices up 1.4% last month (equal to 17% a year). Price of services up 1%, showing that inflation is increasing outside of the energy sector. This is really bad news. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/13/p...

If Hunter Biden had accompanied President Joe Biden on a state visit to China, every host at Fox News would have talked about nothing else for a year. Here, Fox host Lara Trump posts that she and her husband Eric Trump are joining Eric’s father, President Donald Trump, on his trip to “CHYYYYYNA.”

I'm not letting go of this. Neither should you. It is by far the most blatant, in your face "fuck you" to Americans that any President ever did since trump said he wouldn't take responsibility. Anyone else would have to resign.

Is there any update on when we're getting the Panama Canal back?

Happy Mother's Day to Ivana Trump -- mother of Don. Jr, Ivanka and Eric -- as she spends her day with golfers standing on her, wielding a 7- iron and punching it out, before wandering 15 feet away to take a leak in the sawgrass.

Biden presided over likely the greatest expansion in US manufacturing in history and our public intellectuals decided not to notice it. People's lives were materially getting better. Wages rose because labor was in such short supply.

Has anybody asked if J.D. Vance's initials stand for Jefferson Davis?

An email from President Trump’s White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles ordering staff to stop leaking to the press was leaked to the press on Friday. “Unauthorized leaks will not be tolerated and are subject to sanction up to and including termination.” www.mediaite.com/media/news/s...

Every man trying to get home is a retelling of the Odyssey.

If you think the VA decision means Dems won’t win the House back, it means you only thought they would win a bare single digit majority in the first place, which seems like an extremely pessimistic view of the data and context

Job losses due to AI won't be caused by increasing efficiencies brought on by AI. They'll occur after the AI bobble pops and hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of dollars in AI investment become worthless, triggering a serious recession and widespread job losses.

With all his proposed monuments, is Trump trying to do to DC what Hitler wanted to do with Berlin? Who will be Trump's Albert Speer?

2024 was like Biden: flubs one name in a speech Headline “concerns mount as Biden struggles to speak clearly” Trump: rants about Hannibal Lecter and windmills and kids being given sex changes at school, then sways to music for 45 awkward minutes Headline: “fiery Trump gives wide-ranging address”

i know, I know, but imagine if a negotiator for Obama made an offer to the Iranians and Obama said he wouldn't approve the offer after it had already been made. bsky.app/profile/atru...

How did we get 2% GDP growth (mediocre) in the first quarter when all the components were below 2%, with consumption, the biggest component, at 1%?
