holy shit lmao

Here’s some dog content to temporarily distract you from the mess happening in the world

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode deficits 3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat.

Under RFK Jr, the federal government is no longer a reliable, accurate source of health information for Americans. #MAHA

Exactly! “Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!” Elon Musk, 6-30-25

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

RFK Jr. - “Stupid is as Stupid does”… If there were absolutely anyone who seemed like they might take the risk of knowingly swimming in sewer water, it’d be hard to come up with a more likely candidate than Kennedy. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/r...

This Lexington, Kentucky MayDay protest hits every note! The Republican Party doesn't exist anymore. This is fascism. #resist #protest #mayday

New: 32 House Republicans sign a letter telling Speaker Johnson the reconciliation bill “must include at least $2 trillion in verifiable savings either through spending reductions or scaling back the size of the tax package” to win their votes. Another red line he must navigate.

@repbradsherman.bsky.social thank you for highlighting IRS Free File and lack of progress in that roll out. Taxpayers continue to be unfairly charged for IRS services to the benefit of businesses like Intuit / TurboTax.

This is a widely inaccurate & dangerous mischaracterization. The vaccine was developed in fetal cells obtained from two elective abortions in the early 1960s. There is not abortion debris floating around in the vaccine. And the Vatican has okayed its use. RFK Jr. is again spreading disinformation.

Dear god let this man cook.

⚡️A Russian missile strike killed at least 20 people in the city of Sumy on the morning of Palm Sunday, Sumy Mayor Artem Kobzar reported on April 13.

Two Russian missiles struck the Sumy city center, killing over 20 civilians as they went about their daily lives. "Enemy missiles hit an ordinary city street: homes, educational institutions, cars on the street. And this on a day when people go to churches: Palm Sunday,' wrote Ukrainian President.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. We must overturn Citizens United. Every day, it corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Just so you understand, the USA will never be the same. Our global standing will never be the same. We may, in time, be able to repair some of this shit. But it will never be the same.

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

Data don’t lie.

Breathtaking. A federal prosecutor in LA was fired Friday at the behest of the White House, after lawyers for a fast-food executive he was prosecuting pushed officials in DC to drop all charges against him White House ordered firing of L.A. federal prosecutor on ex-Fatburger CEO case, sources say

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

This is how law firms should do it.

March may come in like a lion and out like a lamb but i am just happy it’s the end of the home heat setting fighting cycle and relative calm once again settles over the homestead.

APOLLO: Consumer sentiment is declining rapidly both for households making more than $100,000 and less than $100,000. [Slok] 🇺🇸 @mikezaccardi.bsky.social

ICYMI: “Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website”…in order “to remove all references to diversity, equity and inclusion from its online presence.”

An affront to all Americans. Ridiculous that this administration spends time and money to REMOVE Arlington Cemetery content! Maybe spend that effort on what can actually be done to help Americans? Open the link to clearly see the changes.

Horrible for our needed next leaders in science.

Coons: "I'm gonna vote against what came over from the House Republicans to the Senate last night because I don't want to give my vote to support what Trump and Musk are doing."

I have a client who has been in federal custody since 7/23 and the federal inmate locator still shows him as not in federal custody.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

I had a chat with ChatGPT about empathy vs toxic empathy to see what the results were. We also talked about some examples of Jesus demonstrating empathy as strength. Check it out.

“Transitioning” from 50 straight months of job growth, a 400% rise in manufacturing construction and the best back-to-back years for the stock market in a quarter century. 🤡

Russian combined attack on Donetsk's Dobropillia kills 11, injures 30 including children Russia hit the city with a ballistic missile and a multiple rocket-launcher strike, then targeted the first responders with a drone.

Russian missiles keep relentlessly falling on Ukraine, bringing more death and more destruction. Once again, Putin shows he has no interest in peace. We must step up our military support – otherwise, even more Ukrainian civilians will pay the highest price.

Trump's net approval is much lower than any other previous president in their first 100 days.

Presumably, this government by Truth Social posts will define exactly what an “illegal protest” is, and that definition will not be so broad that it encroaches on free speech guarantees we’ve enjoyed for two centuries.

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier: “The scene at the White House yesterday took my breath away. I would never have believed that we would ever have to defend Ukraine from the United States.”
