You can measure the quality of news outlets' political coverage by how often they write headlines starting with the words "Trump says" that don't show any skepticism about what Trump is saying even though he's the most prominent American liar of modern times.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us

100% THIS!!!!

Straight up murder!

Do we seriously believe for a nanosecond that he hand-signed 1500 pardons for the J6 seditionists? The reasons he gave all 1500 pardons was that he didn’t have the patience to review each of their cases.

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up. Your 70% number is just a fabrication. And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

“A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by ICE agents in Revere, Massachusetts. The woman, Bruna Ferreira, has an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt's brother.”

My colleague, Dr. Vahid Abedini, was illegally detained by ICE on Saturday. He is currently being held without a court date in sight, despite being in the country legally. Please spread the word! We must ensure his due process rights are upheld. www.oudaily.com/news/ou-prof...

Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

Boston's Mayor Wu playing with Yo-Yo Ma at Symphony Hall

Kash Patel's personal firing of the Pride flag-displaying employee was always absurd and unconstitutional, so I'm glad David Maltinsky is suing, but, wait. It was a flag FLOWN BY THE FBI that was given to him BY THE FBI?! Come on. Complaint: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The pattern is clear

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Burns and his team have held advance screenings of "The American Revolution" across the country, including in DC. Kerger described GOP lawmakers who voted against PBS $$$ waiting in line to shake his hand:

'Four cones wins, but in order to get a cone you have to build a civilization. Which is where the spirit cards come in'

"Is President Trump lying?" Maria Farmer: "Yes he's lying..... so Epstein escorts Trump into this other room and Trump utters under his breath, he mutters, 'Oh, I thought she was 16'"

white house should suddenly disclose all trump health crises "are you seriously asking a man with heart failure and dementia about emails from over a decade ago?"

Uh... Chicagoan here. A few things: 1) It's MAGNIFICENT Mile. 2) It's not a shopping center. It's a mile-long stretch downtown. 3) I have no idea how a street could "call it quits" 😂 4) Vacancies started during & because of Covid. 5) Know what's TOTALLY empty? Trump tower retail space 1 block west.

St. Peter at the Pearly Gates: Did you live by the Ten Commandments? Mike Johnson: I have no idea. I have not seen those

I think there is nothing which encapsulates the brain rot hobbling America than news that a celebrity as wealthy, successful and powerful as Kim Kardashian somehow didn't get the memo that humans actually have landed on the moon several times. Sigh. https://loom.ly/Z26XD1o

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

It’s so funny that for the past week republicans have all been like “the only people out there are gonna be Hamas.” Everyone in this crowd is signed up for Kohl’s rewards points.

Thousands of people of all ages came out in Lagrange, Illinois, to declare we will have #NoKings in America. The protest stretched for at least a mile down the main street.

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

I seem to recall that it was the biggest 1st Amendment attack in American history when the Biden admin alerted social media companies to some content and said "hey does this violate your policies?" Will Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and (lol) CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss call this out?

he also said that 80% of antifa's members are landlords and if you lower the cost of housing, you basically starve the network of its financing

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

As I’ve promised before, I will only confirm justices in the Senate who are unwavering in their support for marriage equality. Love is love, and that’s non-negotiable.

HAPPENING NOW: a group of New York rabbis are being arrested at a protest outside the Israeli consulate calling for bringing food into Gaza, an end to the war, and return of all hostages @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social

Found in House Republican conference: 219 able-bodied adults who refuse to work.

My husband said Colbert's show should move to PBS.

NPR and PBS received ~$85 million last year in federal funding. Trump’s golf trips will cost taxpayers over $100 million this year. Republicans think kids learning to read is wasteful spending and indoctrination, while giving a blank check to their cult leader to golf isn’t.

Explain the Big Ugly budget bill to me like I’m five… Seriously, this demo is a must see—anyone can understand it. Share it with family and friends. #VoteNo

Cutting Medicaid means costs are shifted to providers. When patients lose coverage, they turn to ERs for care they can’t afford. Hospitals eat the cost, pass it on to insurers, and your premiums go up. Medicaid cuts mean a worse health care system for EVERYONE.

Can anyone explain to me in more concrete terms what these Pell Grant changes relating to family need actually mean? #StudentAid #PellGrant #StudentLoans www.forbes.com/sites/alison...

Damn. This says it all right here

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

"I asked chat gpt" So? I asked the liver of a sacrificial sheep and it said by your actions you have lost the favor of the gods.

I just read @ronanfarrow.bsky.social 's piece in the @newyorker.com about horrific crimes and corruption in Johnson City. How is it that I, someone who follows the news pretty closely, heard absolutely nothing about this for more than a month??

So American children should make do with "two dolls" while Donald Trump gets a free "sky palace" from the Qatari government? Okay.

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

@atanet.org Glad to see the ATA here on BlueSky! Would be great to develop a T&I community here.

Maybe if Trump knew what the Declaration of Independence was he'd know about this part: Governments are instituted among Men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive...it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it

Multiple articles have been written about Bluesky being a dangerous echo chamber while the world’s richest and influential men are having their brains cooked in increasingly extremist group chats

Remember when Trump promised on Day One to: -Lower costs (they are higher) -End the war in Ukraine (Russia is still indiscriminately attacking) -End inflation (he hasn’t) Good times.

My favorite thing about Elon Musk is that he proves money can't buy happiness. Or class, intelligence, friendship, love, purpose, grace, a sense of humor, a clue, taste, likability, expertise, empathy, enlightenment, compassion, respect, morals or whatever is the opposite of profound creepiness
