"The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich." This line from James Talarico should be uttered by every single Democrat every single day until there's no American voter who can't recite by memory.

This little exchange on RT (RussianTV) from one year ago seems remarkably prescient in light of recent events.

Does this change Dr. Oz's projections that the U.S. stands to shed 135 billion pounds of fat by next year's midterms because of Trump's new weight loss drug pricing?

We must never lose sight of how shocking it is to have a President of the United States speak of an entire nationality—and a sitting representative in Congress—in such a vulgar, hateful, and profoundly dishonest way.

Alex Horton, one of the two Washington Post reporters who broke the story, has been a participant in more violent combat than Pete Hegseth by an order of magnitude. It's not a coincidence that he got the scoop.

North Korean-style. A Potemkin village of fake journalists.

As someone who’s been a lifelong supporter of Israel’s right to exist in peace, it’s been very difficult to defend its actions following the horrific Oct 7 attacks. But a true friend has to speak up. Former Obama foreign policy advisor @rhodesben.bsky.social does: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/o...

Today our president declared war on drug dealers and human traffickers. Yesterday he pardoned the former president of Honduras, a notorious international drug kingpin, and for years he maintained a close personal friendship with child sex traffickers.

I’m not suggesting that any of you do this. But I’m also not NOT suggesting it either…

I’m sick of living in a country that doesn’t even pretend to apply the law equally.

“This is the most transparent administration in American history” — White House Spokesman Karoline Leavitt

America is on a very bad trajectory.

Alan Dershowitz hung out with Epstein and got massages from young females (supposedly in his underwear) and whines pathetically about how nobody on Martha's Vineyard will invite him to their parties.

I know it feels like this was a hundred years ago, but holy crap, I've never seen a more devastating indictment of a sitting president who lies like most people breathe.

The contradictions between Trump's promises and his record have rarely been laid out more clearly.

A depraved and decadent Trump WH dinner for MBS was a stunning low for an American ruling class that's stopped pretending to carry a moral compass It was really a celebration of death - of democracy, of an overheating planet, and ultimately themselves. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ceos...

Every Democrat who voted to "condemn socialism" yesterday should be reminded of this. Their cowardice in the face of a bullshit Republican legislative stunt is a stain on their voting record.

I guess this isn’t happening now, huh?

Eight six Democrats fell for the stupidest, bullshit stunt ever: forcing them to "condemn socialism." And on the very day that Mamdani went to the White House for a meeting with a fascist who calls him a "communist." This is why Dems are seen as weak and feckless.😡 www.newsweek.com/full-list-of...

They literally think that Americans are total idiots.

I think someone had better start checking Clay Higgins’ internet searches.

Seriously, there is no Circle of Hell too deep for these guys.

Last November I joined Bluesky to get out of the toxic cesspool that Elon created. I remember this tweet from one year ago being one of the stupidest and most insulting tweets I'd ever read, especially coming from a guy who famously hates and neglects his children.

Just the guy with the nuclear codes having a normal one.

In refusing to release the #EpsteinFiles, his Attorney General was emphatic in saying that there was no client list. Did they suddenly "find" one?

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Jeffrey Epstein to Lawrence Summers (both of whom are very bad people): “i have met some very bad people , none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body. so yes- dangerous”

Just posting this for no particular reason.

Need more reason to get off of X? Look no further than Grok, which has now been trained to parrot The Big Lie spread by Trump about the 2020 election.

America 2025 in a nutshell: An AI-generated song has reached No.1 on the Billboard charts in a first for the music industry. Billboard's top-selling song this week is “Walk My Walk,” an artificially-generated country track by an “artist” named Breaking Rust. www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

"They squandered their leverage, sapped their voters' enthusiasm, and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory." Jon Stewart perfectly sums up the Democratic clusterfuck that occurred on @schumer.senate.gov's watch. It's long past time for a new generation of Dems to lead. youtu.be/eFI6MwlLJ08?...

So at this point we're just normalizing the execution of human beings based on suspicions? No due process, no trial, no presentation of evidence--even after the fact. If this isn't the road to autocracy, I don't know what is.

AND STARVES THEM.

(Forbes) - The Trump Organization’s second-term push to monetize Donald Trump’s presidency has reached the aisles of military exchanges, as Coast Guard-run stores .. have stocked Trump-branded wine and cider. 🤡 @zacheverson.com www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

Tell me that you’re completely out of touch with reality without telling me that you’re completely out of touch with reality.

At this point FOX is 100% self-parody.

Exactly one year ago the @wsj.com proclaimed the U.S. economy under Biden the envy of the world and said that it "put its peers to shame."

The copium this morning in MAGAstan has really been something to behold.

I voted. Have you? #UlsterCountyNY

The President of the United States, who made billions off his crypto scam, took delivery of a jet from Qatar, and just hosted an obscenely expensive Gatsby party, is threatening to defy a court in order to ensure that the neediest Americans, including millions of children, are denied food assistance

I’m having a hard time accepting that things have gotten so bad in America that I’m actually nostalgic for the Bush-Cheney era. apnews.com/article/dick...

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: if Biden tweeted anything this delusional, the press would talk about nothing else.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Last night in an interview with “60 Minutes” the President of the United States said he thought that ICE hadn’t gone far enough in its brutality and claimed he knew nothing about the deeply corrupt crypto billionaire he just pardoned. Both huge revelations. Neither on the front page of @nytimes.com

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink. I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.
