“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

Just FYI: Portland as a war zone is horseshit, and deploying federal troops is horseshit.

Putin: Ukraine is historically Russian and should be controlled by Russia. Send in the tanks. Netanyahu: Gaza and the West Bank are historically Israeli and should be controlled by Israel. Send in the tanks. Trump: America is historically white and Christian ...

[P] I can’t really overstate how important Tom Lehrer’s work was to me and to helping shape me as a writer and performer. He was a true one of a kind. I mourn his passing but celebrate all the musical gifts he left us.

It's got to be tough to be a wide receiver when you can't use your hands.

Only a very evil person would use the grief and suffering of others to hide his own incompetence

I know it's the flag, but an endless wall of red and white stripes looks stupid. One flag is sufficient. There is no legit reason for an array of the POTUS flag. Ever. That's not respect for the office, that's a show of personal dominance. And take off that f'ing hat.

Thank god dems have finally figured out that their voters are angry and want a nasty, in-your-face fighter

I have no idea whether the cybertruck has any practical uses, but for decades to come they will be the absolutely perfect vehicle for the villain's henchmen in a comic book movie

Trying to imagine if Trump told America, "Maybe you don't need 30 guns, maybe 2 guns."

RFK Jr says he didn't know about kids who were disabled or merely different when he was a kid. Why? Because pre-IDEA many kids weren't allowed in schools, or faced too many barriers to even access the building. Trump wants to eliminate Dept of Ed and give the implementation of IDEA to RFK jr's HHS.

Due process if you’re guilty and due process if you’re innocent are the same thing! You can’t get rid of one without getting rid of the other.

i am calling for due process for kilmar abrego garcia and his immediate return to his family in maryland. come at us all you fucking fascists.

I can't believe that "oppose Trump, unreservedly, his criminality is bad, his policies are bad, they're hurting people in various ways, they're not even popular, don't praise them or him at all, just oppose" is such a controversial position among prominent national Democrats, but it apparently is.

This hits harder if you followed what Trump did with the families of Abbey Gate victims. He brought them to Bedminister, brought them to RNC, basically worked with them as surrogates to trash Biden. Coffins coming on his watch? brb golfing

It's telling that Trump's excesses fractured the conservative movement into MAGA and Never Trumpers, but the wildly authoritarian and politically toxic Project 2025 has had zero public impact on the Heritage Foundation. Has *anyone* announced they are parting ways with the group?

"Darth Return" is trending People are hungry for good news ☀️🌸🌱

A much closer analogy would be "allowing someone who arrived on election day and stood in line before the polls closed to cast a ballot three hours after the polls closed," which is how it works for every election everywhere. You can't disenfranchise the voter because the government system is slow.

Just listened to the Euromixx "Blacksmith Mix" and "Goldsmith Mix" of The Smiths for the first time in 30+ years, and it's just as cringey "14 year old with a brand new dual cassette deck" as I remember youtu.be/Nwv8YKdBB4M?...

The paradigm has shifted. MAGA is wildly radical, and Democrats are the true conservatives of the constitutional order. Win or lose, it is now Democrats' job to stand athwart history and yell "STOP!"

The entire conversation around government funding is Washington at its worst. I cannot in good conscience vote for a bill that increases costs for Georgians, defunds care for servicemembers, and slashes investments in education and health care. I am voting NO on the partisan funding bill.

Sen. Ossoff tonight announced he will oppose cloture and, if it comes to it, final passage on the partisan House budget proposal and issued the following statement —

This is an excellent clip. I wish more interviews of administration officials were this strong.

On my recent trip to Tokyo, I explained that death threats are functioning as the dark matter of the political system, distorting behavior without necessarily being visible.

Perfect time to roll out a smoke-belching gas generator that mounts in the back of a cybertruck to keep it charged. Available upgrades include 80-gallon gas tank and stars-and-stripes paint job.

What are the odds that the 27-year steelworker who raised 7 kids and fostered 40 others is in a union?

This story, about a man who donated his rare form of lifesaving plasma a whopping 1,173 times to save the lives of literally millions of babies, is wonderful. www.npr.org/2025/03/03/n...

I don't know why Garbage or Shirley aren't over here yet, but let the countdown commence!

The president of the United States has a brain made of jello

Does Louis DeJoy have to be nominated and confirmed again, or is he just presumed Postmaster General for life now?

As an American who enjoys heartfelt patriotic displays, it irks me that Trump will be president for the 250th anniversary of our nation (the semiquincentennial!) He will make it so schlocky and grift-filled that I dread seeing it. Then 2 years later he gets his own 1936 Olympics!

"I was saved by God for his greater purpose... so buy my meme coin"

did he just say no one is doing anything to fight fires in LA?

It's stunning to rewatch the video of Trump at the CIA lying about his crowd size in 2017 and see how much younger he looked. And he was laughing and joking and mugging faces through it all. Trump II is a much older, deeply embittered man. Hard to see how this will end well.

Obvious ideas for DOGE if it was actually seeking efficiency, not symbolic budget slashing - Eliminate death penalty - Expand public transportation - Upgrade electrical grid for small, distributed generation - Replace proprietary election equipment with open-source code running on whitebox hardware

Lots of talk about "Day 1" but nothing about the day prior. Who should Biden pardon on his way out the door?
