the Tom Homan bribery scandal is the latest example of how a felon in the White House is making crime legal

Pro-life, right?

Stephen Miller was directly involved in one of the largest acts of organized domestic political violence the United States has seen in modern times, the Jan 6 insurrection. Any news org that doesn't make this fact central is helping Miller deceive its customers.

If Michael Moore got assassinated in 2004, I don’t think you’d see any red state governors lowering the flag for him The asymmetry of American politics

You aren't imagining it: food is getting more expensive -beef and veal rose 2.7 percent -Apples rose by 3.5 percent -Bananas by 2.1 percent -Coffee is up 3.6 percent Travel? -Airline fare is up 5.9 percent www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Driving by the Alaska Capitol, I noticed the flags flying at half staff, and sure enough, it was ordered by the president. For what it's worth, there was not a similar order after the assassination of Minnesota Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman in June. #akleg

I will spoil it for you and say there's nothing in here about starting the school day later so kids can get more sleep, increasing recess time, providing free meals at school and giving kids more time to eat them, expanding nutrition programs, or literally doing anything else proven to work.

GOP Rep Don Bacon says he wishes President Trump would unite the country after Kirk shooting “But he’s a populist, and populists dwell on anger… I have to remind people, we had Democrats killed in Minnesota too, right?”

Gun violence is out of control. The victims of gun violence are Republicans, Democrats, independents, and kids, who have no political affiliation whatsoever. We need to tone down the incendiary political rhetoric, for sure, but we also need to do something about guns. The guns!

This is not a "conservative" or "populist" budget. Not sure what you'd call it really, besides cruel and "Trumpy" www.gelliottmorris.com/p/83-of-vote...

Beshear on Trump's bill: "It's the single worst piece of legislation I've seen in my lifetime & it is an attack on rural America. In my state alone, 200k are gonna lose their coverage... 20k healthcare workers are gonna lose their jobs & we've got up to 35 rural hospitals that may close."

Congestion pricing by the # ‘s 6 months in: * 67k fewer drivers entering zone daily * Delays in Holland Tunnel down 65% * Traffic deaths down 32% so far in 2025 * $500m projected this year for MTA capital improvements * B’way attendance +12% * Subway ridership +7% So yes this program is a SUCCESS.

Not an evil party 👇

Lots of big numbers floating around. To put them in perspective, suppose we instead sent a check to every household: $5T GOP tax cuts = $40K/hh $1.2T billionaire gains in 2024 = $8.7K/hh $0.2T to pay 2.3M fed employees = $1.6K/hh Making billionaires richer costs more than most anything else we do.

As Republicans pass a bill full of extremely unpopular provisions aimed at further enriching the obscenely wealthy, remember that over half of their campaign funds in 2024 came from just 100 mega-donors who absolutely love this bill. That's not a coincidence.

As we’ve ample evidence, particularly in the past decade, a certain segment of Americans absolutely have shit for brains and will ignore the shittiness of the worst people, including sex pests who break the most foundational rules and laws.

still can't believe how many people were mad about high prices and then voted for this

Pro Turbo-Tax, Pro Hungry kids, Pro kicking families off their health plans

we could all use some good news these days, and the fact that this guy is absolutely eating shit half a world away counts.

Trump also believes immigrants are eating pets. He lost his credibility a long time ago.

Trump ineptly trying to cosplay religiosity for the fundamentalist wing of the GOP has always been one of the funnier parts of his presidency.

"In these situations, one expects to hear that the shooter was in the midst of a psychotic episode." Instead, he was a seemingly functional, deeply religious family man. That is terrifying. ICYMI @monacharen.bsky.social on religious extremism: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-growin...

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

If you took the $1.1 trillion earned by just 100 billionaires last year and mailed every household a check, it'd be $8,700 each. The thing is most billionaires don't actually pay taxes anymore. What the GOP bill is really doing is selling off public lands and cutting Medicare to pay off oligarchs.

Worth just pointing out the simple reality: Absolute chaos at home and abroad less than five months into Donald Trump's second term

Trump's most fervent supporters adore him because he gives them permission to indulge in cruelty toward people whom they think deserve it. It's not that complicated. This is also why I think they work so hard to break social norms around compassion, kindness, etc.

Why are we celebrating traitors that fired upon US soldiers in a bid to keep people enslaved?

We started reading an age-appropriate book about impulse control to our 5-year-old last night. I'm available for interviews on the topic, in case anyone deems it relevant on a national level.

Re-upping what I wrote two months ago: Rose doesn’t deserve reinstatement

The U.S. Constitution, of course, explicitly prohibits American elected officials from accepting gifts from foreign nations. He should, and still could, be prosecuted one day for this

This level of corruption is only possible because of the inaction and enabling of Congress and the Supreme Court. They ultimately must me considered just as corrupt as Donald Trump because they allowed this to happen.

Democrats are 91% yes No party are 58% yes Republicans are 83% no. Mmmmkay… that’s not what the constitution says.

stealing like meme from my hellsite replies because lmao

CBC projects Liberal PM Mark Carney will retain government - whether it is a majority or minority is still a question. Regardless of how one feels about this result, the last couple of months in Canadian politics have made for a wild political story.

Some wondered if the Mets would still have vibes after their magic 2024. They still very much have vibes.

Mets are 7-3, which is incredibly impressive when you consider they’re doing it without: *Their starting catcher *Their starting second baseman *40 percent of their starting rotation *One of their best relievers Álvarez, McNeil, and Nuñez should all be back pretty soon

THE NEW YORK METS HAVE ALLOWED ONLY 22 RUNS IN THEIR FIRST 10 GAMES
