HOW *DARE* YOU INSULT ALFRED E. NEUMAN LIKE THAT?!?!? He'd never stoop so low as to be like the Felon Pedo, not in any way. The tough thing about the Felon Pedo is there is nothing awful enough to compare him to that doesn't make me feel bad for the thing I'm comparing him to. He IS the worst.

From The Beyond Brief newsletter: "Tesla quietly admitted millions of FSD owners need a new computer AND new cameras. Owners who paid $10K-$15K on the promise of forever upgrades are about to discover the answer is also 'buy a new car.' Class action lawyers are sharpening pencils."

This is a worthwhile read. The Dead Economy Theory open.substack.com/pub/owenmcgr...

China dumped $1T of our mortgage backed securities (MBS), CDO (collateralized debt obligations), and private credit last year during Canks' Liquidation Day and never returned. Only now our hedge funds and banks are declaring their massive losses in private credit. 🤷‍♂️ Trump is a DISASTER!

REP. @aftynbehn.bsky.social : “Well, that concludes our 250 year 🇺🇸 experiment, because Grandma Gone Wild @MarshaBlackburn decided to eliminate the last Democratically held seat in Tennessee, in MEMPHIS, where 65% of the constituents are Black. We need international attention on this.”

Only Republicans ban books. Their power comes from spreading ignorance and fear

This week, 4 companies that have been our customers for decades had to close shop due to escalating costs in fuel, shipping, plastic, dyes, & supply chain disruption, etc. 4 vendors in India have shut down due to not having fuel. So far. Trump did that. He’s killing small businesses. #ProudBlue

Democrats presented a bill that would ban gerrymandering in every state. Every GOP voted against it

By gutting the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court is killing the Second Reconstruction. The first Reconstruction shows how Congress should respond. Me and Daphna Renan in the NYT on the tools we have to save democracy from a hostile Court.

They're cutting education, healthcare, food, and other social programs and protections so Americans are poor and desperate enough to work any job for any pay. Just like the countries many immigrants come from.

We must put people in Congress and State Governments who will change Constitutions to ban large political donations and any donations by not citizens (and only humans are citizens).

This is your reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

This. Of course there’s always going to be entitled assholes however I feel like there’d be less of them.

trump and MAGA have used the Constitution as as a doormat…. which was put out there by the supreme court

So WH argument is basically that there is a cheat code allowing long-term wars without Congress. Just announce a pause in fighting every so often and restart the 60-day clock under the War Powers Act. Lesson: Article I powers only *really* matter if Article I enforces them.

As long as Americans let them do it they will do it. What they get away with only encourages them to try for heinous behavior. How long before murder in the streets by the regime is commonplace like it was in Nazi Germany?

Congress is on hiatus AGAIN, until May 11th! We’re paying these f’ckers top dollars & benefits for doing what exactly? They abdicated their responsibility & their power to an imbecile in the WH? Why are we paying them if they’re doing nothing? Why does the R party even exist if only 1 turd counts?

I don’t know about you, but I’m partying until the end of time!! 🍾

He is. You don't have a concentration camp guard tattoo for 18+ years and brag about it and show it off if you didn't believe in it. And you are defending it. Fuck off nazi lover.

That's you, puddums. Nazis already have a party - the gop. You wanting nazis in the dem party tells everyone exactly who you support.

It’s not cute to accidentally cancel Ebola prevention — a virus with a 50% fatality rate.   It’s even less acceptable when it turns out you didn’t “restore” the prevention for Ebola like you claimed.

Here’s my prediction: As he took credit for Obama’s economy, vets bill, etc, Trump will negotiate an Iran deal that mirrors Obama’s JCPOA—which Trump ripped up in 2018—and proclaim it *greatest* deal ever. Moron MAGAs (redundant) will praise him for replicating a policy he denounced, destroyed.

He’s asked how he’ll pay for his “ending state income tax” policy and it’s the same tired “waste, fraud, abuse” DOGE script. Like anyone’s buying that again. Reporter, Joey Safchik is all of us ☠️

Callais will be remembered alongside Dred Scott and Plessy Decisions the court got catastrophically wrong Decisions eventually overturned The arc of the moral universe doesn't bend toward justice on its own We have to bend it That work starts now -TN

Currently: GOP is defending Trunt's demands to have federal rules over the elections, Save America Act Future: When the Dems are in charge, they will try to pass a bill to ban gerrymandering. The GOP will flip out saying this is a states level right and the federal gov should stay out. #VoteBlue

Too bad the GOP doesn't have policies that people like enough that they have to resort to cheating. apnews.com/article/cong...

YIKES! Gas is now higher (on average) in the my state of Washington than when Biden was president. Nice job orange shit-stain. Ya know, if he had truly stuck with "no wars", we wouldn't be in this mess. #GasPrices #FDT

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis this morning signed into law a bill (SB 1296) that will make it harder for most public sector employees to form or keep their union representation, coinciding with International Workers' Day. Story to come for @orlandoweekly.bsky.social

"Pope Leo on Friday named a formerly undocumented immigrant who was smuggled into the United States in a car trunk to be bishop of West Virginia; he also elevated to bishop Howard University’s chaplain, who has called attacks on diversity “un-American” and “un-Christian.” Greatest. Pope. Ever.

And the GOP is terrified of intelligent voters
