Trump needs to stop fucking with our beautiful monuments. Some of this is going to be incredibly expensive to fix.

Maybe freeways are not the best land use for precious down-town land.

As @milestaylor.bsky.social said “I’ve named Bill Pulte as director of DNI to break the law for me.”

Besides a couple of losers, the only good musicians Trump can get are those he can order to be there. I'd be shocked if he knows who Pershing is.

Republicans are working hard to make that so.

Blanche is a toadie who will do anything for a Trump. Like so many Republicans, Todd Blanche is devoid of all integrity or self respect.

NEWS: House Democrats just introduced the BLANCHE Act (Block Lawless Agreements and Nullify Corrupt Handouts and Emoluments Act) — to kill the IRS sweetheart deal shielding Trump and his entire family from federal investigation forever.

Today in Trump's meeting

ICE is making people so ill, or harming them so much, that they die after ICE releases them. ICE is trying to hide that. This is America under the Republican regime.

Ooh I love audience participation

“Died of sadness,” according to family. An immeasurable loss.

Persepolis was read all over the world—a true international phenomenon. Assigned in every class subject under the sun. During the Obama years, West Point cadets were assigned the book. There's never been anything like it; never anyone like her. What an awful world that couldn't hold her longer.

WOW. The New Jersey AG has charged an Essex County Prosecutor’s Office sergeant for allegedly stealing a photojournalist’s camera equipment while the journo was at a hospital being treated for injuries she suffered outside Delaney Hall. The bag had an air tag and was tracked to the cop's house.

EXPOSED: Trump's agriculture secretary just got publicly humiliated. When she tried to claim food stamp fraud was rampant, Democrat Angie Craig revealed the USDA's own data shows food stamp fraud is virtually nonexistent. Watch and share widely! substack.com/@rawstory/no...

It's funny learning that the reason there's going to be a crippling helium supply shortage even though the United States once had a huge strategic reserve of it is literally because Republicans did the "jeff thinks the beans have to take turns lmao" thing to it

Like literally they were like "the dumbocrats want to spend MILLIONS on PARTY BALLOONS" and passed a law eliminating the reserve and now a couple decades later there are gonna be crippling economic problems because you need helium to make computer chips.

It's happening 🚨 House GOP representatives are about to introduce a bill that would completely eliminate subsidized student loans. They are trying to make it impossible to go to college unless you can afford to pay for it upfront.

Ossoff: "If we want to stop these spectacularly incompetent, loyalist nominees from getting confirmed in the Senate, we're going to have to stop relying on a few Republican senators to suddenly discover their courage and integrity. We're going to have to win the majority."

Republican corruption. And shame on Brett Favre.

Senate Republicans just started a marathon voting session known as vote-a-rama in the Senate. Not to improve your life. Not to lower your costs. But to funnel $70 billion more to ICE and the abuses I saw at Delaney Hall. Not another dime.

Make sure your voter registration is current and active NOW, and then get 10 friends to do the same and ask them to repeat the process with their friends…and so on, and so on

The Supreme Court just ignored their recent precedents and existing law in order to get a Republican friendly outcome. Essentially, laws are different based on whether the outcomes benefit Republicans or Democrats. We're now a country of men, not laws. The Supreme Court is corrupt.

Marjane Satrapi, author of 'Persepolis,' dies at 56

Trump and Vought’s move today to allow firing of federal workers sounds better in the original German. 1933: “Gesetz zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums”, the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, was passed by the Nazi govt 2 mos after Hitler rose to power. 🧵 1/

"We want the government to crack down on this thing that no one can define" is a recipe for a right-wing power grab and a raft of moral-panic legislation.

Republicans are literally dismantling American science. Who needs accurate weather forecasts?

I guess we're really never getting the strait opened.

Thomas Massie has put forward a proposal that is as simple as it is powerful: Suspend U.S. military aid to Israel for just one month and see whether the bombing of its neighbors actually stops.

Yesterday, I visited the Adelanto ICE Processing Center with @aguilar.house.gov & @gomez.house.gov to meet with some of the 150 detainees participating in a hunger strike against unsafe and inhumane living conditions.

JACOBS: I have one last question for you. Who won the 2020 presidential election? MARCO RUBIO: I'm not here to answer about 2020 JACOBS: It seems like you have an issue admitting facts, just like you couldn't admit the shoes the president bought you were too big RUBIO: The florsheims fit fine

It seems like identifiable members of the Supreme Court actively helping one political party to choose its voters to maximal electoral advantage should be a bigger scandal

Attention CA-28, today is Election Day! 🗳️ Every vote counts, and your voice can make a difference. Polls close at 8:00 PM tonight. For more information, visit sos.ca.gov/elections

Speaker Mike Johnson is the most incompetent, feckless, pathetic speaker in American history. He has neutered an important institution and badly damaged our democracy. He will be remembered as a sniveling coward and an enabler of the worst president ever. *That* is an objective fact.

It is all corrosive and damaging. We need to fix our democracy and our laws so that no voter is suppressed. And to do that we need to reform the corrupt Supreme Court.

Bari Weiss and minions should have no future in media after this administration.

The most corrupt president in the history of our country.

Release The Epstein Files NOW!😡

Paris air pollution is down 50% after its radical bike-friendly transformation Cars have been banned from more than 100 streets. Tens of thousands of parking spots have been eliminated. Hundreds of miles of bike lanes have been added. And air pollution is plummeting

It's simple: Every New Yorker should be paying the same price for the same product. Our personal data should not be used to set the highest possible price. We need to pass the One Fair Price Package to ban surveillance pricing in New York.

On this day in 1943, a 7 year old Dutch Jewish girl arrived at Sobibor with her mother & brother (2) where they were most probably murdered on arrival. The father perished in Mauthausen on 2 Sep 1941. Her name was Esther Dagloonder Please support @sobibor.org

On this day in 1943, a 31 year old Dutch Jewish woman arrived at the Sobibor extermination camp with her husband and 3 children (8, 6 & 5). It is most probable that she was murdered on arrival. Her name was Lotte Berkelij-Rozelaar Support @sobibor.org

crazy that under the precedent set by callais, a lily-white congressional delegation formed by "partisan" gerrymandering in a plurality black state passes constitutional muster, while any majority-minority district is constitutionally suspect

Republicans are corrupt.

Thank you. Please never forget that fascists and bigots are liars. Never accept anything they say at face value.

I'm in no mood to celebrate - we've had some successes, but we're in the middle of an existential disaster as a nation. The constitution is being ignored by those who should enforce it. Our institutions are failing us.

Listening to NPR right now and the point is being made about just what a shame it is that our 250th Anniversary is just trash now. And it's so true. There could have been so many forms of celebration of America (not just music but everything) but, yeah, now it's just all turned to shit.

We all complain about headlines on here, so we should be ready to praise this one, which gets it exactly right (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/u...
