Classic Trump Administration, they are available but never to answer ANY tough questions

NESTERAK: President Trump has granted clemency to numerous individuals who have stolen hundreds of millions in Medicaid funds. Can we expect any of these folks to be shown the same mercy? McDONALD: I'll take a different question

It would be better if Trump was holding a ballroom mock-up

A clear-eyed description of what is happening. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/o...

Wow. The Senate is recessing. Vote-a-rama is officially postponed. No votes until June. Republicans in disarray.

Introduce yourself with 10 bands you've seen live: The Cure New Order (with Peter Hook) Tricky John Denver Echo and the Bunnymen A Tribe Called Quest De La Soul Chris and Cosey Dead Hot Workshop Skinny Puppy

NYT: In the middle of the lunch, Trump called RFK Jr and Dr. Oz and told them he wanted the regulation lifted. Trump’s FDA Commissioner then resigned in protest. Things like this are happening every day. RFK Jr is a total fraud.

Offensive and unhealthy for young people who deserve respect and autonomy.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just voted to require teachers to forcibly out transgender youth against their will. Censoring "gender ideology" does nothing to advance the basic promise that every child deserves the same opportunity to thrive, and that includes transgender students.

MAHA was just another con. The corruption of the Trump admin is absolutely staggering.

The first artist I saw live was John Denver (no, really, it was)

This is good. He should keep trying to introduce the bill and perhaps the DNC can put its email lists to good use by alerting the public to this using plain language.

I understand the issue (I have had sprained ankles regularly my whole life)...but trying to close out on a three-point shooter without getting your feet in the landing space of the offensive player is HARD #WNBA

Wherever you go … there you are.

As a lifelong fan of Buckaroo Banzai...I have to congratulate Mr. Chovanec for this excellent post A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (way to go...Monkey Boy)

Trump stole money from your Medicaid for these freaks to cash out, and any elected representative who isn't loudly opposed to his slush fund is helping him rob you.

The coach of the Portland Fire looks like Malfoy's brother #WNBA

seems bad

It is still really odd to me to see every sports show bring in a betting expert to discuss good bets

And the final point to drive it home: if you look at those old projections where we always knew spending was gonna go up, our current projections have spending WAY lower. Still going up, but lower. So literally ALL the worsening of the fiscal outlook comes from tax cuts. We have a revenue problem.

Two final points for why I think we have a revenue problem. First, our tax code USED to be set up to raise sufficient revenue to cover growing Medicare and Social Security costs. Then we cut taxes. Now there's not enough revenue. That's cause of tax cuts, not spending increases.

This precedent could also be applied to government officials who blow people up in boats without a declared war, due process, evidence, or trial.

Another Trump war looms into view.

If you want social media to change, and hate what it has become STOP MAKING YOUR FIRST RESPONSE TO PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW dismissive, rude, trolling, mean, or an attempt to OWN them Stop quoting their stuff and responding with an insult Be nice, ask questions, have a discussion

Trump is using a mistake with some Maryland primary mail-in ballots to attack the heavily Democratic state. Although the error has been addressed, that didn’t stop Trump from insinuating widespread election fraud in Maryland — without any evidence to support the claim. https://bit.ly/4dShXfY

You Go Jasmine Crockett 👏🏻......

This is wild.

I don't think people understand the actual fight going on here Trump wants the Senate to be no different than the house and wants to be able to jam through ANYTHING he wants The Senate wants to maintain it's crucial differences so that they can, at least theoretically, have the power to say NO

NEW: Trump has once again done something that is obviously corrupt but may prove impossible to unravel—unless a Congress controlled by his own party finds the rare gumption to buck him. Me and @ericcolumbus.bsky.social on the president who sued himself: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

NEW: The $1B ballroom provision has been STRIPPED from the Republican budget bill.

“That’s the implication of what you said.” “I don’t think so..you talk a lot on the campaign trail, you make some jokes.”🤔 Hasan Piker watches @emmavigeland.bsky.social bust #MISEN candidate @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social for making an argument against M4ALL that falls apart fast #MedicareForAllNOW

I think the contents of the memo could only plausibly affect the removal of court documents count (but I'm skeptical given this was a DOJ internal memo). Regardless of the contents, this isn't theft - she didn't deprive the government of the property and it remained in her lawful possession. 1/

[Me reading this]: OK, ok, defensible, defensible, I can deal with that, I can handle that, [gets to “chocolate cake recipe”] fuck

Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee says he won't stop Thursday's scheduled execution of Tony Carruthers, a severely mentally ill man who was forced to represent himself *at his own capital murder trial* because the judge simply got tired of dealing with him

I'm really out of things to say They have gone so far beyond the pale that there just isn't a point anymore Just endlessly manufacturing consent for worse and worse stuff

Rep. Thomas Massie has conceded. Republican voters have rejected the member of their own party most responsible for forcing the vote to release the Epstein files. All because Trump, a man named in the Epstein files thousands of times, didn't want them released. That says a lot. None of it good.

"Palantir CEO Alexander Karp outspent the other executives, donating a total of about $465,000 ... Palantir executives donated more money to Democrats than Republicans. They donated a total of about $880,000 to 67 Democratic members of Congress and about $420,000 to 48 Republicans."

I was a bit off on the timing in my February 2025 predictions of what RFK Jr. would do if confirmed as HHS Secretary. He’s already accomplished all of these things.

Journalists need to avoid making this category error

So the #Trump regime's plan was to assassinate the (by Iranian terms) pragmatic Ayatollah Khamenei and replace him with 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘯 prepared to ignore Ruhollah Khomeini's fatwah prohibiting Iran from developing nuclear weapons?

Only in this sh*tty timeline could people be lauding Trump less than a day after he stole over a billion in tax dollars from us to pay off his cronies

Next up, they will want people to wear LGBTQ+ stars

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

However appalled you are by this, it’s not enough. It’s a frank statement that Trump and Trumpists are above the law and need not even plausible excuses to loot your tax dollars. It’s a total failure of our civic institutions.

It is amazing how people believe being a jerk means you made a good argument I cannot tell you how many times the content of someone's big response to arguments is just saying something rude or positing a condescending meme We are living in the Ad Hominem age At least it makes for easy blocks

All of these people are f*cking insane

“.. What we are talking about is nothing short of the sitting president of the United States looting from the Treasury for his own gain,” she said. @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/5733...

Hard disagree (we were in the finals less than three years ago) Also, for the first time in a long-time, it appears we have competent management with a vision for the future
