John Kerry lost to GW Bush. Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris lost to Devil-Doofus. They majority of Americans would rather have an entertaining idiot that doesn't make them feel inadequate than a competent leader that might use a word they don't know. We need someone competent disguised as a fool.

Trump's ever-expanding list of taxpayer grifts: -$10B in damages from the IRS -$1B for ballroom "security" -$1B for Qatar jet refurbishments -$230M in DOJ "compensation" -$100M+ for golf outings When he says he "doesn't think about Americans' financial situation," I believe him.

🔥 JUNE WILL BE OUR THIRD REDISTRICTING SINCE 2021." Let this (re Georgia) sink in. It's likely now our future across the country whenever the party in power looks at their state the year of any statewide elections. [CAPS mine]

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

You are perfect and you’re enough! #SheShed

Not that anyone needs a reminder but this man has the nuclear codes. He's posting unhinged AI slop and far too many people just shrug it off. Trump is unwell, and he is a danger to us all.

In a little more than a year, Lee Zeldin has transformed the EPA from an agency devoted to protecting human health and the environment into one that, more or less openly, sides with polluters.

Are we really going to go on for 2 1/2 years with a deranged White House occupant who can barely keep his eyes open and when he's awake he's narcissistically focused on grabbing attention, corruptly enriching himself, abusing reporters and ignoring the needs of ordinary Americans?

Reminder: NIH director Jay Bhattacharya, who must keep us safe from Hantavirus, is an economist. He got an MD but never did residency. He's never cared for a sick person. Never did medical research. He went covid contrarian in 2020 and enjoyed the attention. This is his first real-world crisis ever.

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

I sometimes wonder how all those proud #MAGAt owners of oversized extended cab trucks with a laser-painting of Trump parting the Red Sea and 2 giant-sized Confederate Flags attached to the bed are enjoying their 9 miles per gallon these days.

Isn't that the truth. No one's worse than Trump.

Rep. Bill Keating on Hegseth's justification for the military's extrajudicial killings: "I found no justification. We were given classified information on the second strike. I can't discuss it, but I must tell you, it is the most convoluted bullshit I have ever heard in my life."

Your mission is you! Protect your peace like it’s sacred. Don’t let chaos make a home in your mind. Heal the parts of you that still ache. Nurture your growth with patience, because becoming your best self takes time. Choose yourself without hesitation. You are worth the effort! #SheShed

Be good to yourself in a world that will try to rush you, doubt you & wear you down. Give yourself the same kindness you freely give to others. Life isn’t perfect, it will never be. But there is still so much good, so much beauty & so many moments worth holding onto. Don’t miss them! #SheShed

There will be days you doubt yourself, days when everything feels heavy and uncertain. Show up anyway. Show up tired, show up unsure, show up imperfect. Because strength isn’t about having it all together… it’s about refusing to give up on yourself, even when it’s hard! You got this! #SheShed

People who show up for others, who give their time, their energy, their care, hold things together in ways most people don’t notice! They’re the quiet strength behind families, friendships & communities & they should be valued! The world needs more people spreading kindness! #SheShed

When you tweet and don't research first.

This ... twice.

You are being robbed, America.

How Volodymr Zelenskyy manages to survive in a literal war without a ballroom to keep him safe is just shocking to me.

I'm calling it Trump's-ballroom 'assassination attempt' #staged Bill Clinton and Barack Obama didn't even mention a new ballroom/bunker 🤔

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $271B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $231B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Someone should tell Iran to issue a statement confirming they will only negotiate a peace settlement with Obama.

due to budget cuts i'm giving even less of a fuck now

Can you spot the six unfuckable men in the photo?

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Buttigieg: I’ll give the Turning Point folks a lot of strategic credit for going to a lot of different places. Going to these college campuses is kind of the equivalent, in their minds, of the way I feel when I go on Fox News. The difference is, when I go on Fox News, I’m telling the truth

To understand why the USA is where it is today, all you need to do is see that Trump cannot tolerate even the mildest, insightful criticism from the Pope, but Trump will allow Putin to humiliate him deeply and constantly, while still craving Putin’s approval.

Likewise, if you want to argue that "soaring costs" are the primary explanation of the decline in trust in universities <in the last decade>, then it needs to be the case that "costs" have actually "soared" in the last decade.

Again, if you want explain why trust in universities has declined in the last decade, & you don't benchmark that decline against contemporaneous declines in trust in <every other societal institution> in 🇺🇸, then you cannot identify variables internal to universities as the main or sole explanations.

-70% of farmers can't afford all the fertilizer they need. -6 in 10 say finances have worsened. -94% say things are the same or worse. This is what a war in Iran looks like for Nebraska farmers.

Restart. Reset. Refocus. Some days don’t go the way you planned. Some chapters end in ways you didn’t expect. That doesn’t mean your story is over. It means you get to begin again & as many times it takes! Take a breath, lift your head & move forward with intention! #SheShed #RestartResetRefocus
