Trump's Iran war is breaking up the MAGA coalition. Among young and nonwhite working class, only *one in five* approve, per new data I've obtained. That's extraordinary and heartening to see. It's also delivering another blow to Trump's "realignment." 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2076...

Scott is as big a grifting liar as trump.

"Could damage the party in the midterms" Not, "could damage health and take lives" #ProLifeMyAss

Republican president and five-star general Eisenhower: "Leadership consists of nothing but taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong." Cadet Bone Spurs Trump: "Based on what Steve and Jared and Pete, Marco and others were telling me, I thought they were going to attack."

by @hcrichardson.bsky.social “Eisenhower recognized that economically dispossessed people were natural targets for political and religious extremists. They could easily be manipulated to back any cause—that promised to resurrect a world in which they had enjoyed prosperity and cultural significance”

Nothing captures the moral bankruptcy of this moment quite like slashing healthcare for millions while burning $1 billion a day on a war with no plan, no endgame, and no one apparently able to explain why.

Sen John Cornyn has an op-ed in Rupert Murdoch's NYPost, arguing that reducing the number of voters in the midterms is essential to GOP success at the polls. This is the GOP success formula in Texas, which has the lowest voter rates in the entire developed world—by design.

I stopped going to concerts because of the costs and fees. (Amazing how many things I no longer do because of the costs and fees)

Absolutely, flabbergastingly insane.

The most serious problems in America Trump Republicans

Here are some tips for members of Congress when AG Pam Bondi appears for her deposition to discuss her botched release of the Epstein files. Survivors deserve the facts. substack.com/@barbmcquade...

In the latest "poor Israel is a victim" article, News Ltd fails to mention that Israel and Iran are NOT signatories to a ban on cluster bombs. Therefore this is not newsworthy. News Ltd also fails to mention that israel is using chemical weapons - phosphorus bombs - against the citizens of Lebanon.

Tweeting hateful garbage doesn't magically make you an American—or a real Christian. Christian Nationalists are unable to assimilate; they all have to go to hell. (And quickly.)

Bier: "Over the last 30 years, we looked at all the government budgets -- federal, state, and local combined. Immigrants reduce deficits by $14.5 trillion."

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

Inside a $50 million Venezuelan lobbying deal and a court battle ensnaring White House power brokers — including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and chief of staff Susie Wiles.

Trump made things far worse.

to all candidate hopefuls... the senate and the house of representatives aren't entry level positions. please run for local/state positions, get elected, and get government experience FIRST.

Republicans are working overtime to make it as hard as possible for you to vote. Because they know that they and their policies are deeply unpopular and the only way for them to win is to double down on cheating.

Ukraine has regained more territory than at any time since 2023 and this moment is the exact moment when Trump decides to drop sanctions on russian oil, the profits of which putin will use directly for attacking Ukraine further.

We shut down USAID but: www.mediaite.com/politics/pet...

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.

When an unqualified, pedophile, felon, rapist, coward, draft dodger, racist, lazy, grifter, fascist, moron, traitor is calling the shots. (These videos are not Iran. They’re Iran fighting back.)

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

Holy crap, the hoops I have to jump through to get my expensive insurance to pay part of my expensive medication, only to find out they stopped covering that medication a few months ago. The insurance and health are in the US is F’d up beyond belief. Not the doctors or med pros, big biz insurance.

'Egregious': GOP official under fire for handing voter data for millions to Trump DOJ #RawStory

Rep. Bresnahan April 2025: I meet with my financial advisor. We talk about, you know, what different positions are coming up. June 2025: The trades that are being executed on my behalf, I do not have any dialogues with my financial advisors.

Mike Johnson blatantly makes stuff up: "We had information that they might well fire on us and it was imminent, and that it would hit our personnel. We could not wait for mass casualties on the American side."

Has anyone pointed out to ICE agents that if they're arresting people solely to collect a bonus, they're not law enforcement officers. They're bounty hunters. I look forward to all of them losing their jobs and being blacklisted from serving in law enforcement.

This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure. This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research. Scientists Discover Way To Reverse Chemical Process Linked With Alzheimer’s Disease share.google/Vm0hfSMfkGIc...

This may not be a popular or patriotic take, but I wonder if our troops are being forced to fight a war they know is morally wrong, illegal, unconstitutional. And it is all of those. This goes to the generals and commanders as well. I sure as hell wouldn’t risk my life for the Psychopath In Charge.

Congrats to Scott McFarlane for having sense enough to get out of Bari Weiss's new CBS propaganda channel. He's too good for what that place is becoming.

Difficult times call for cooperation and dialogue. But our voting system keeps giving total power to parties that only a fraction of voters support. On 30% of the vote, one party could win full control of our economy, health, foreign policy and defence. We can't take that risk.

Trump’s stupidity is graphing up like oil prices

goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

(Bloomberg) - Iran said it’s “absolutely” not seeking a ceasefire in the war as it launched a new wave of missiles at Israel territories including Tel Aviv. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/live-bl...

I know our expectations for this administration are in the basement but it is INSANE they started a war without a plan for the Strait of Hormuz.

great point by @jenrubin.bsky.social. Jobs don't walk away, they are destroyed and someone/something is always to blame. This time: it's Trump. "Trump is not the unfortunate victim of job “losses”; he is destroying jobs, especially manufacturing jobs"
