There are sunsets and there are SUNSETS. This was the latter. Above the clouds, looking out over this landscape, seeing the sun disappear was just utter perfection.

The inability of so many to understand the basic principle that government is not a business has led us done this road to ruin by people who want government to be run as a business.

Well friends, it's happening! 👋👋👋👋👋😬😬😬🤬

Trump had a total meltdown after losing his name on the Kennedy Center and the Freedom 250 artists quitting. It's not just about his ego. He mirrors the frustration MAGA feels about being so deeply uncool. Their attempt to conquer the arts backfired. www.salon.com/2026/06/03/m...

MN House Speaker and GOP gubernatorial candidate Lisa Demuth refuses to rule out a pardon for Derek Chauvin: "There's a lot that goes into any type of pardon decision." 😳

“You act like these people are not people.” Outside Delaney Hall, a protester broke down pleading for empathy. At one point she asked, “What if your wife was in there, pregnant, begging for help?” The pain in her voice says everything. 💔 #SheShed

When he has finally gone, just watch us celebrate!

GOOD NEWS: Trump’s $1.8 billion January 6 slush fund is dead. BAD NEWS: According to Acting AG Todd Blanche, Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization still have protection from pending IRS audits and enforcement. HOW DO WE UNDO THIS SHIT?

Tennessee isn’t sitting down. People are flooding the statehouse because Republicans think they can redraw maps and erase Black and Brown voices. They thought wrong. We see the plan. We reject it. And we will not stop until every vote counts equally. #momsky#sheshed

Trump sued the IRS for $10B and walked away with something even better: permanent protection from IRS audits for himself and his family. The fund was paused. The shield remains. Corruption, plain and simple. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/Azp7ghOwEQx-...

Enten: "So fewer Americans think it's acceptable to put President Trump's name on government buildings right now than believe that the earth is that or the moon landing is fake"

Are they going after Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security next?

Republicans aid and abet Trump’s corruption & participate in the fleecing of America for their own personal gain. Trump must be impeached, convicted, & removed. The only way to make this happen is to flip the house AND senate by healthy margins. We can do this. Make it so! VOTE! #ProudBlue #Pinks

Good Morning and Happy Monday friends! And just like that, it’s June! We are all hoping for a day that brings amazing news, whatever it may be. #pinks

Mt. Rushmore. The Kennedy Center. Barack Obama. Trump burned through 50+ Truth Social posts in a single night and every one was wilder than the last. At what point do we stop calling it a rant and start calling it a crisis? #USDemocracy #Pinks open.substack.com/pub/jaysworl...

Simple reminder that there is not, nor has there ever been, a gender war. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Experts sound alarm over Elon Musk's 'coup' that's 'about to rob your 401k' www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-26...

Trump denies any responsibility for the midterm debacle, while Republican senators, suddenly lucid, drop him. His deal with Iran, empty of substance, is just a grotesque bandage against the crushing weight of inflation. #ProudBlue #DV1

The subtle significance to the timing behind a judge ruling that Trump's name should be removed from the Kennedy Center didn't go unnoticed.

WOMP: Kennedy Center Must Remove Trump's Name #CrooksAndLiars

I.C.E. maintains a strict dress code for people seeking to visit their loved ones caged at Delaney Hall. It’s clear the strict rule is useful pretext to deny visitors entry. #ICE #DHS

What. The. Actual. Fuck?

Trump furiously demands judge who blocked renovation project be criminally charged #RawStory

60 Minutes was the most popular show on TV. Why are they destroying it? Because Trump doesnt like it. They didnt lie & pander hard enough. So today they fired the top people. (Anderson quit.) 60 Minutes will nomlonger be honest, insightful or worth watching. Its over. How sad.

This idiocracy is turning America's pride into a global disgrace #RawStory

These people are just causing more people from visiting the country. No one wants to come here anyhow. I know little about the Denver airport but I would think that it probably does it lot of business with business people traveling for meetings #USDemocracy www.denvergazette.com/2026/05/28/t...

Trump signs a “big” deal where nothing changes: Iran keeps its nuclear program, its regime, and its strait. After his failed war, he rushes to save face, while inflation reminds him that the economy does not negotiate. #ProudBlue #DV1

Grocery prices are ⬆️⬆️ You can barely afford the gas to go get the overpriced stuff you need Fear not, 🤡's regime's on it, with a plan to...put his mug on a $250 bill?🤮 Oh well, maybe they're just planning ahead-"By the end of 🤡’s term, it’ll be just enough to buy one gal of gas & a carton of eggs”

Donald Trump bought between $1 million and $5 million in Dell stock in February, followed by more in March. Then Dell got a $9.7 billion Pentagon contract. Today Dell is having it's best day on the stock market, ever.

Let’s make this happen by making it go viral 😀
