Hours after SCOTUS said only the Congress can tax, the president said no, he can do all the taxes he wants all by himself. This is not getting enough attention. Via @atrupar.com

We really have a mad king sputtering at what he sees on TV and his bootlicking lawyers running around desperately trying to curry favor by prosecuting whoever is the subject of today's two minutes of hate. No idea how DOJ rebuilds itself after this nightmare is over.

In general, the more effort liberals put into discrediting billionaires, the better.

Either way, you might have thought that people who assured us that Kevin Hassett was a good choice for CEA chair and Scott Bessent would be the adult in the room would hit pause before doing it again. But I guess not 4/

Just the executive branch of the United States of America pushing out an altered image of a suspect in a criminal case. Surely that’s just fine.

the number of gigantic marches I have attended this year that barely got mentioned in the NYT if at all, smdh

What’s the over/under for TrumpRX actually becoming operational this month, as promised? We’ve got 2 weeks left, and we all know what 2 weeks means in TrumpTime™️… trumprx.gov

Please stop endangering your children by having them exist in the new, violently fascist world we’re creating.

14. It’s that classic closed-circuit logic. As Luke O'Neil said: bsky.app/profile/luke...

Seems right to me.

I want to encourage you to imagine ICE coming to your house, declaring you a criminal, provoking you, then punishing your reaction by killing you. Because it can. Because it wants to. This should not seem far-fetched now.

Just throwing this out there for no apparent reason. youtu.be/93n-EmGknEU

Anyway, it's hard to see how this makes the US more secure. And I can't help looking at the pictures of this massive naval deployment and thinking about how much it cost relative to giving Ukraine what it needs to defend itself. 10/10

There’s a lesson here about writing in the age of weaponized lies: Always precede false claims with giant red text, ideally wrapped in a <blink> tag, that says “THIS IS A LIE I AM REFUTING!!” But also, why is a book that makes this kind of lazy, bad-faith argumentation getting any accolades at all?

I think anyone who is looking to the last 20 years for an example of how the post-trump era will unfold is not understanding that the current moment really has no precedent in america, nor will its aftermath

…Right after the GOP healthcare plan.

May the odds ever be in your favor.

hmmm somehow there's some subtle difference in tone or shading, you might say, that exempts musk himself from this concern about foreign-born people taking part in american democracy

Ex-DEA agent who worked on the case against former Honduras president Juan Orlando Hernandez calls his release "devastating": “It means any attempt to work your investigations to the highest levels is meaningless” www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

Note to charities: if you send me 5 emails asking me to donate to your bogus triple match on Giving Tuesday, you are more likely to get unsubscribed and blocked than a donation. Enough is enough!

I’m glad to see there is at least one national corporation that still refuses to kowtow to Trump.

Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

A new cartoon! It's an Ambulatory Circulatory System Walking Through the Kitchen Day miracle! www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

on desktop, the path is gear icon--moderation--advanced--bluesky moderation, where I found that I was "helpfully" being shielded from "rude" content without having opted in to that

Government of, by and for the people.

Trump isn't the Antichrist, but his role in American life is indistinguishable from the one linked to the Biblical Antichrist. The Antichrist devours the meaning of life—to learn to become our best selves, whatever that means to us and whatever we're capable of— by tempting us to be our very worst.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Dick Cheney in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

we just take it for granted, that R's will lie about and demean "blue states". Imagine any D so consistently denigrating red states. Fox News would have a collective aneurism.

All the best people…

I’m sorry, if someone has a birth certificate that proves they were born here but a mobile app with face recognition software disagrees, they will side with the app? What?

Biden's last ceasefire had 33 hostages released and lasted 3 months. Trump's ceasefire had 20 hostages released and lasted 7 days.

Do they now teach headline writers in journalism school “don’t include the actual subject of the piece in the headline: make the reader click to find out as this will increase engagement”?

Get yours before time runs out! Will not be available in stores!

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

“Nothing will be torn down.” — Karoline Leavitt “It won’t interfere with the current building. It pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of.” — Donald Trump

holy fuck this is bonkers also, tangentially noting, god I fucking hate a.i.

How smearing works. 1. Cherry pick some asshole doing some asshole thing. 2. Use asshole to characterize millions of people. 3. Note *your side* condemns asshole. 4. Pretend *their side* doesn't condemn asshole. 5. On the basis of pretending, smear millions. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

If nothing else tells you Trump believes with every fiber of his being that the government is his to do with what he will, it’s demolishing parts of the White House. He who can destroy a thing controls a thing. Pure king shit.
