Easiest way to prevent Medicare and Medicaid fraud is to extend them to everyone and just give us universal healthcare like almost every other country on the planet. Just sayin'.

"Hormuz," it turns out, is Persian for "Schrödinger."

Republicans definitively believe in evolution. "The new ballroom won't cost the taxpayers anything." "The ballroom will only cost 200 million." "The ballroom will only cost 400 million." "The ballroom will cost taxpayers 1 BILLION."

If Republicans end up disowning Trump over this image, it’s not because he’s portraying himself as the Messiah. It’s because he’s giving away free healthcare.

Let's see if the Hungarians can make it out.

OMG … the NASA expert talking on MSNow about astronaut equipment and suits sounds EXACTLY like Ava James - Principal Coleman on Abbott Elementary. Pacing, timbre, attitude … it’s awesome!!!

Sauer just had to say that slaves had an "intent to remain" in the US. Motherfucker WHAT??

When I said Trump would deploy ICE at the polls, I was called an alarmist. When I said I did not believe the denials,I was labeled a partisan. Now DOJ officials are endorsing it at rightwing conferences. Stay informed. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Senate negotiators must’ve been close to a deal on DHS funding that Trump doesn’t like for him to put out that deranged post tonight demanding SAVE be attached to it. I suspect a deal will be announced tomorrow or Tuesday, but of course SAVE will not be part of it.

Renee Good and Alex Pretti would enter the chat but they can't because they're dead.

A pattern? Nearly all of Trumps key cabinet posts are filled with short people. The rapidly declining Trump - now a 6’ 300 lb ball of decaying flesh - may be looking for people who make him appear closer to his claimed height. Sure, they’re mostly incompetent and awful people too, but …

Truth: this actually happened. I was there.

Marco Rubio seems to be scrambling to find some measure of organized communication that he, in lieu of coherence from POTUS or Sec Def, can muster and project. It’s a losing game unless he can get the other two to STFU.

Masculinity framed as sadism and drenched in piety

If Trump really wants to destroy Iran he should go be its president for a few months.

USE THE TARIFF “REFUNDS” TO FUND THE CONVERSION TO NATIONAL HEALTHCARE. Everyone wins. Everyone.

Ironic that England does No Kings better than we do

And to think we were told that American exceptionalism was a myth...

Bannon famously described the fascist's movement goal to "flood the zone with shit" so no one knows what's true any more. Thanks to AI, we're just about there - nearing "authenticity collapse" where the regime's deepfakes are believed, and, just as dangerous, actual videos are doubted: is.gd/ECquPE

I did an investigation; I found out that the people funding the protesters in Minnesota are the protesters of Minnesota.

Weird fact - at least to me: We dropped Amazon Prime 2 years ago. Bezos is at best a Trump enabler. Ordered some stuff from a local shop today for delivery. Order said, in small print - “order processed by amazoncognito”. Darkly funny and troubling. Where’s Peter Sellers when you need him?

We need a good pep talk every now and again.

PASS COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM. Lankford’s bill if you must - although more humane/focused on the needs of the country would be preferred. Trump caused this. Any Republican leader, including Trump, who decides to stand up against this disaster can stop it.

Tim Cook succeeded Steve Jobs - the most impressively focused entrepreneurial businessman/tech leader in US history. I cannot believe that, at this point in time, Steve Jobs would have gotten within a thousand miles of the premiere of “Melania”. Yet there was Tim Cook - gargling Trumps balls.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today. This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Holy shit.

John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave, John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave, But his soul goes marching on.

It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using “we” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.

Seems like they’re just not that into us 🤷🏼

DOJ investigating whether Denmark lied on its Greenland mortgage.

We're all trying to find the guy who did this!

I am deeply troubled by the murder of Rachel Good. I also want to know what happened to the dog that was in the car. Was in the line of fire.

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

Winston Churchill was thought to have called the U.S. Marshall Plan the “most unsordid act in history.” Trump’s seizure of Greenland would rank as one of the most ignoble acts in history, a symbol of the ugly and grasping America that Trump is fashioning. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Might wanna be careful there, vigilante bro … Idaho daycare workers may be armed.

She launched her career trying to get professors fired in the name of academic freedom. Her website publishes a firehose of conservative propaganda in the name of open debate. She is now censoring factual information under the guise of journalistic accuracy.

CNN Online had a thumbnail headline that read: “The great wealth transfer is accelerating. But who will actually benefit from it?” I’m guessing the segment was at least a bit more nuanced and informative … probably … Ah shit - it was right under an add for Brawndo (“It’ll mutilate your thirst”).

I can’t help but think Jobs would have resisted Trump - or at the very least not have so fully prostrated himself and his shareholders and his loyal customers before Trump. Tim Cook’s disgrace should be heavy and life-long. He made a choice. The deeply wrong one.

Second worst thing that ever happened to JFK

CBS is gone. They were the best - now captured by an oligarch. … not with a whimper, but with a bang.

Newport has pushed back. We all need to. 🧊🧊🧊🐸

Our President is inspiring. I will not pay federal taxes this year, and then - if my tactic is discovered - and if it draws an objection from our President’s government - I will pay 15% of my taxes (you’re welcome).

😕

Recovering The Republic: dogs … and high fat ice cream. The two things about which most Americans can agree. We can and should build from this, once we figure out how to work through the profound humanitarian, economic, and perspectives-on-American-governance differences we hold.

If joking about Charlie Kirk is considered “violent rhetoric,” how do we describe open calls to hang members of Congress?

fun fact: in the Pluribus universe, everyone knows what's in the Epstein files
