Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House: “Well, look. The salary of Congress has been frozen since 2009.“ SO HAS THE FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE. If Congress can’t “take care of their families” at $174,000 a year, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK POOR PEOPLE CAN, YOU SOULLESS MONSTER?

Bad graduation speeches are everywhere. Tell me about a good one. At my niece's last year, a teacher used his time to tell the kids to break up with friends and partners who treat them like shit, and that is some useful practical advice for your early 20s!

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

Scott MacFarlane reports on growing momentum in Congress for Supreme Court term limits. Several bipartisan proposals would impose 18- or 20-year limits on Supreme Court justices. Rep. Olszewski says the issue goes beyond any single ruling and reflects a broader crisis of confidence in the Court.

The prices at the grocery store every Saturday morning are a punch to the face Just brutal There will be unpredictable and transcendent political fallout in an election year.

When the state is disenfranchising its Black voters, there's zero question why ROOTS was just banned in Knox County, Tennessee schools.

ABSOFREAKINLUTELY 💯%,ALL Of It.......

This is big news. The far-right Supreme Court hijacked the Constitution to let corporations spend in our elections. But we are not powerless. We can fight back.

Socialists know better, you moron. You’re thinking of rats, like yourself.

Stephen Colbert and David Letterman throwing things off the Ed Sullivan Theater. Colbert: “Anything you’d like to say, Dave?” Letterman: “In the words of the great Edward R. Murrow to CBS: ‘Good night and good luck, motherfuckers.’”

Not to be annoying but hasn't something like this been happening for a long time. For example, David Axelrod runs a campaign consulting firm but also goes on TV to talk about campaigns.

I've been recording bird sounds and playing them back to the birds that made them. They seem impressed. Am I a bird DJ?

Why am I not surprised?!?🙄

its a wild story, and yes, deeply corrupt if true which it seems to be, but surely its not wilder than what the US has done to destabilize and destroy left wing governments around the world, at any cost, for most of the 20th century, surely.

In all the ways he could have been shitty he sure is unique about it.

Cats. S m h

A beluga whale is not thrilled with a visitor smoking at the aquarium so he extinguishes it with one splash.

We need a beluga whale like that for every time trump speaks and an AI one for every time he tweets 😏

😂 That’s fck you in whalesh.

The whale is looking right at him!! 😂🫶💙 Animals are just better than Us.

He’s seriously doubling down on this. 🤡

Weeks after deporting Adriana to the DRC and after a federal judge ordered for her return, the Trump Administration claims they don’t know where she is. The truth? She is exactly where ICE left her.

Huh. Why would Boeing (airplane company) and Toyota (car company) donate a MILLION bucks to Trump's Transportation Secretary's pet project? Could these billionaire corporations expect a return on their donation with regulatory favors? Looks like corruption in plain sight.

Jared Polis: Sent CO Nat Guard out of state to help ICE First Gov of either party to celebrate Trump after 2024 election Ordered local LE to support ICE (overruled in Court) Kicked 600,000 off Medicaid w/o cause PARDONED TINA PETERS FOR ELECTION TAMPERING Polis is evil.

WTAF?! More Fkn crooked people!

PS: If Republican policies were actually popular, they wouldn’t need voter suppression to win.

Well, colour me surprised...

He kept on them. And completely silenced the room. And the only thing they could think to say back was to insult his hat.

His takedown prior to that weakness they threw back at him.

Like burn, bro. Totally.

My latest free newsletter is about one of The New York Times's specialties: publishing the opinions of wealthy elites as if they are news.

The “new” Trump phone has headphone jacks!! So cutting edge.

“I was like, ‘Would it be funny if Hegseth just did that Bible verse that they have in “Pulp Fiction”?’ Remember, from Ezekiel, Samuel L. Jackson?” The idea was deemed “too ridiculous” & feared it “would take up all this time in the cold open.” “And then he for real did it, like two weeks later.”

We're All Standing With Ted Lieu....

Just...I need everyone to realize how far we have fallen. This is, like, the sixth thing Trump said in this presser that would have been career-ending for any politician of 20 years ago.

WTAF‼️ officer Jeffrey Gordon Frahm is his name‼️

what rock did this OLD MISERABLE BITCH CRAWL OUT FROM UNDER??? put her back.

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.

NEW: Our reporting found at least 79 children have been harmed by tear gas or pepper spray during Trump’s deportation campaign. To better understand the chemicals’ effects on children, we spoke with an activist tear-gassed as a teenager at Selma in 1965.

Q: Biden described Xi as a dictator. Do you think Xi is a dictator? TRUMP: I think President Biden was an incompetent president. He gave us the Iran nuclear deal. (The Iran nuclear deal was actually made by the Obama administration ... )

He wants to be a special boy so badly. He’s desperate for autocrats to love and respect him. Such a needy fragile child easily manipulated and rolled.

NEW: The Senate parliamentarian has rejected major provisions in the GOP's reconciliation package -- aka the $72B spending bill for ICE + Trump's ballroom. These bits now need 60 vs 51 votes to pass: *ALL CBP funding *Funds for initial screenings of unaccompanied migrant kids *$2.5B for DHS

I really dislike the term “hallucinations” in this usage. Hallucinations are involuntary. This is design.
