Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”. This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

We filed a notice in federal court that officers at Florida's “Alligator Alcatraz” are failing to comply with a court order to give people access to attorneys. Guards cut off phone access for a day without warning and brutally beat and pepper sprayed people who spoke up. This can't continue.

Would you let someone who behaved the way Trump has just in the last week drive your kids to school or willingly be a passenger if he was piloting a plane you were on? F*ck no, is the universal answer. Why let him be POTUS? 25th Amendment NOW.

Oh my. 👀

Senate Democrats and Republicans came together to pass a bipartisan bill that would fund critical parts of the Department of Homeland Security, only for Speaker Johnson to let it collect dust on his desk for over TWO WEEKS. 🧵

Seriously tho, maybe we should send this trash and his entire garbage entourage and family to a UFC fight every night. #MAGAIsADisease

Saudi Arabia does not want the Iran War to end without a guaranteed regime change. Jared Kushner is being paid millions of dollars by the Saudi government every year. Jared Kushner is negotiating the end of the Iranian War on behalf of the United States. Can I hear a big Conflict of Interest Cheer!

22 People Connected To Jeffrey Epstein Have Died Under Mysterious Circumstances Article from August 16, 2025 uinterview.com/news/22-peop...

In swedish news: "And many Hungarians went to the polls. By early evening, voter turnout had broken all records with 77.8 %" SEE!!! It works if people ACTUALLY shows up to vote! VOTE AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPEND ON IT BECAUSE IT DOES!

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

AN ALCOHOLIC TV TALKING HEAD RUNS OUR MILITARY, A FORMER HEROIN ADDICT IS IN CHARGE OF OUR HEALTH, AND THEY BOTH REPORT TO A CONVICTED FELON. SO HOW'S YOUR DAY GOING?

Spent the weekend in mixed political company. We don’t talk much politics at these things but a surprising amount have admitted regretting their vote. What I can’t stomach is the “didn’t vote for this” crowd. You voted for this. People make mistakes. We learn by admitting them. Not gaslighting them.

4/13/1891 — b. Vesta Stoudt, American inventor. Inventor of duct tape.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

The American president counts Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un as his friends while denouncing the Pope.

The full Epstein files are still being hidden. Acting AG Blanche has the power to release them all right now but he refuses to follow the law. Tell Congress: demand all Epstein files be made public immediately.

Happy 80th birthday to Al Green

NYT editors now allowing Peter Baker to report that emperor with no clothes is minimally dressed. Progress!

Finally the NY Times publishes a substantial story about Trump’s mental unfitness. Peter Baker writes: “Never in modern times has the stability of a president been so publicly and forensically debated.” That’s an interesting statement, considering that NYT has tiptoed around the issue. (Gift link)

Donny shit a brick because Pope Leo criticized his Iraq war — but the pope was all "too fucking bad if you don't like it, Jack. sit on it and twirl." and THEN Donny compared himself to Jesus. it's all in today's super-respectful post. thank you for your attention. link is here: bit.ly/4dFKoyh

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….

So in just one week, you threatened to nuke 93million people in the Middle East. Then you didn’t. Your wife declares she didn’t know Epstein but she did. You sent your best team to negotiate a ceasefire while you and Rubio watched UFC. Then you endorsed Orban who lost? Am I missing something here?

Thousands of workers are threatening to strike at the Los Angeles World Cup stadium. The SoFi Stadium plans to host two of the three US Men's World Cup matches, but now 2,000 cooks, servers, bartenders and more may strike. Their main issue? ICE being present at the World Cup.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

people ask, "what is wrong with men." it's not some sort of biological truth or innate characteristic of men we're talking about here. the issue is that in a patriarchal and sexist culture, men learn that they are entitled to take what they want from women and that they will not be held accountable

Trump isn't making America great again. Trump works for Putin, and Putin wants to destroy America from the inside. Americans are way too calm about the fact that a hostile Russian asset is sitting in the Oval office and has access to our nuclear codes.
