Morning Kitten

faking an assassination attempt so you don't have to go to a wedding sounds like a curb your enthusiasm episode

The GOP Platform: Protect the fetus; starve the child. Honor the soldier; abandon the veteran. Enrich the corporation; fleece the worker. Quote the Bible; ignore the verses.

The state of America in four panels.

Jim Acosta just trashed Fox News personality Greg Gutfeld for gloating over a photo of the staff of Colbert Show - dozens of people. "You are celebrating the fact that all of these people are losing their jobs. All because your dear leader can’t take a joke. Seriously, wtf is wrong with you,"...

Yeh, all that's left to give it a simple fuck you...

Sadly, every word is true. The American experiment is over. Killed in the middle of Fifth Avenue and no one in power blinked an eye to stop it.

The sad thing about this is that those who support him gobble up this stupidity with no questions asked.

Lest we forget: Obama secured the Iran deal without starting a war, shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, or losing a single American life. But please, tell me more about how “toughness” requires body bags.

Khanna: "This is a Dred Scott court. They have engaged in the fastest rollback of Black political rights since Rutherford Hayes ended Reconstruction in 1877. One-third of African American seats are threatened. We are not speaking up strongly enough against a court that's rolling back civil rights"

Imagine missing your own son’s wedding so you could go surrender to Iran

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

This is Memorial Day weekend. It’s a solemn federal holiday honoring are fallen military members who died in the service of the United States. Let’s not forget what we’re fighting for our democracy and for them who gave so much. ❤️🤍💙

Every state should take a page out of Hawaii’s playbook on tackling Citizens United

Remember when Congress UNANIMOUSLY passed an act forcing release of all Epstein files and to explain all redactions? This entire admin is breaking the law. Lock THEM up!

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

Fox poll: 71% of registered voters disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy 76% disapprove of Trump's handling of inflation 61% disapprove of trump's overall job performance 77% say the economy is in bad shape 51% say their family's finances are worse now than two years ago

Welcome to a very angry Memorial day weekend. None of this is normal or acceptable and we have every reason to be furious.

Accelerating our slide into authoritarianism, Friday version. Deep anguish is coming: this, voting rights, health insurance cuts that will go into effect, and continued unsustainable costs. His policies only take away and hurt. No help, no great. gift link www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/u...

Anxiety at the prospect of another war happening 90ish miles away from my city is extremely high

Ever notice how fast government can move when it wants to make things worse for people? Voting rights, abortion rights, pollution permits, war? It moves SO FAST. I dont remember the last time i saw government move fast to make our lives better. It drives me crazy.

Morning everyone. Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws? You are subject to the law. Now he is not. No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

“From a small spark, kindled in America, a flame has arisen not to be extinguished,” Thomas Paine wrote in the 1790s. That’s still true…and it will enable us to overcome this dark and grueling chapter. www.americaamerica.news/p/yet-we-per...

The Danish gov’t has installed floating platforms planted with wildflowers and native vegetation in the harbors and canals of Copenhagen, to create urban habitat sanctuaries for birds, bees, pollinators, insects, and even some aquatic life. #FlowersOfBluesky #InnovativeSolutions💡

Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

All great. I would add to this: IMMEDIATELY begin a DAILY shadow press briefing and factually describe the destruction and corruption being carried out against us. Do not let up. Do not let up.

Speaker Johnson owes our country an answer.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

Hey @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social now would be (way past) a good time for a DAILY shadow press briefing laying out all the corrupt and fascistic acts by your oppo party and its leaders. Over and over again. Do not let up. Know that many people have no idea what’s happening.

Can't thank Stephen Colbert enough for the decades of laughs he's given us. He's been positively therapeutic in these troubled times & I can't wait to see what he does next! 👀 (plus, he let me sit behind his desk) 🙏

So, basically, we are paying his January 6 army to make another attempt to overturn the November election? Asking for the same members of society #USDemocracy

How can those of us with GOP representation get through to them that IT IS THEIR SWORN DUTY to uphold EVERY FACET of this powerful amendment!?!?!? Just days ago my Rep was caught on film praising ‘God the Father on Earth and Donald Trump on Earth.’

Hey Donnie! You will *never* be as loved by the nation as this man. Never.

light me up, I’m wasted in the dark

Former Justice Dept attorneys with the group Justice Connection protested Trump’s $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded pot of money for convicted crooks They illuminated Justice Dept headquarters with this quote from John Adams ===>

Come on Florida people let’s make this happen. Zero complacency, zero fucks left to give. LET’S GO! 🌴

This should be the headline story on every news publication and telecast including local news every day for several days. But it won’t. It will be shrugged off like so much else by so much of media. The most corrupt thing that has ever come out of the US govt.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

So…are James Comey, Jerome Powell, Letitia James, Lisa Cook, LaMonica McIver, and Mark Kelly going to apply for money from the slush fund? Because they are, actually, “victims of lawfare and weaponization” who have been wrongly targeted for “political, personal, or ideological reasons” — full stop.

This is insane. The terms of DOJ's slush fund appear to transfer control of $1.8 billion beyond US government entirely. Unless I'm misreading this, that would circumvent Congress *entirely* and put the money outside of *any* constitutional and/or legal constraints ofany kind. Straight up theft.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies. I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics. It makes Nixon look like a boy scout. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/18/t...
