On this day in 1950, Margaret Chase Smith, a new U.S. Senator from Maine, rose on the Senate floor to deliver a “Declaration of Conscience” against McCarthyism. She decried how the Senate’s “deliberative character” was being “debased” to “a forum of hate and character assassination.” #WeTheMen

T* is correct, for once in his life. If anyone can measure hate, it's the donald.

His backstory keeps getting worse the more the more we learn about it.

Private prisons are an abomination. Society must take responsibility for its issues. Why wld we face them, if we didn't pay the bill? But when it comes to human rights, the bill always comes due. Tear them down.

@mikiesherrill.bsky.social Gotta get out there and make this better. US sheriff & PDs are infiltrated by far-right & MAGAs w terroristic impulses. Face this. Fix this. Yr constituents deserve more. Don't dance. Address all challenges straight-on. Signed: West coast fan

In an official statement, Rubio declared, “I am honored to blow anything President Trump asks me to.” open.substack.com/pub/borowitz...

Barred owl babies are fed by parents for 4-6 months. Even after they can fly at 5 weeks of age they remain dependant on their parents who teach them to search for food.

Ironic how T* sleeps so comfortably while the rest of us toss & turn & when we finally wake up, there's that amorphous feeling of dread.

BREAKING: Iran shuts down all negotiations with the US, vows to close the Strait of Hormuz INDEFINITELY. Trump literally fucked the global economy.

CNN’s Harry Enten: “Re: Trump's name on govt buildings, Americans are saying ‘stop it’ to quote Michael Jordan. Just 9% say it's acceptable while Trump is still in office. That's less than the share who say we faked the moon landing (12%). No wonder 68% say Trump is focused on the wrong issues.”

We live in a country where some of the best journalists are late night comedians & editorial cartoonists. THANK YOU Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, Tom Tomorrow, Mike Luckovich & Michael de Adder ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! #LAUGH_DO_NOT_DESPAIR ✊

IOW, people would rather have a dick-waving, tax-dodging, unpredictable white aggressive male than a candidate who can speak policy. Platner appears to be both; but me? I'd prefer someone who was not dick-operated & didn't have an early fancy for Nazis. Unf, those folks don't run for office.

This guy is simply just awesome 😂

Now, if only somebody would warn Putin's Top Agent in D.C. about the same effin' thing...

You tell 'em Talarico! Love the way you handle yourself.

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

Love the "where am I and where am I going?" look on El Dodo's face.

"all he had to do" was not be a narcissistic psychopath. That's like saying, my horse would have won the race. All he had to do was not be a zebra.

Here's the problem with the courts: the rape has to occur first before the rapist faces consequences. And in many cases, the crime is unrecoverable for the individual.

Indiana told the public it gave less than $1 million in data center subsidies in 2025. The real number? $655 million. And $561 million of that went to a single company: Amazon. While Hoosiers pay sales tax on groceries, Amazon paid nothing. This isn’t economic development. It’s a heist.

I can't afford paywalls; but get a lot of info on the arm due to concerned journalists willing to share their investigative savvy freely because the nation is in trouble. T*/MAGA assaults Kinzinger hv been brutal: "they already tried to take everything from me & only ended up setting me free."

Thru a DNA database, we just discovered great+-grandfathers who fought in the Revolutionary War & later for the Union. My gen learned tolerance via the draft. Obama brought a decade of larger recognition of what it is to be black in America. Then...T* & a flatulent smog covered the land.

When democracy - via today's poky Democrats - rescues America from T*'s more-powerful-than-u-know coup, our leaders must annihilate fascism. In particular, end takeover of public media. NO MORE MONOPOLIES. U want to end corruption? Break monopolies. All of them. open.substack.com/pub/stopthep...

@adamkinzinger.substack.com On the JillB thing, a wife's concerns & any pain she feels over all of yuz (media, pols, both sides) describing Joe's (1 of US most consequential presidents) weird debate, that "proved" him incompetent, will not affect 2026 2028 whatsoever. Give grace, bro.

A break from Prez Chump: open.substack.com/pub/borowitz... @borowitzreport.bsky.social We did something similar only brought a GSD to be besties w our 5 yr old Doodle. His ears! His patience! Our patience. In the end, the love you take is = to the love u make...so it all worked out.

“Now comes the moment where every Republican who surrendered dignity for ambition discovers the price of climbing aboard a madman’s movement. Every R gets to become John Cornyn now — humiliated, degraded and consumed by the very beast they spent years feeding.” open.substack.com/pub/stevesch...

He's one sick guppy (you know & I know, and my dogs know, Trump hasn't the brains, or the heart, of a puppy).

It's almost like trying a way to hate Jesus. Oh, that's right. Jesus was the first Communist. open.substack.com/pub/jefftied...

For all the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, fans in your life 🚬

We've got 5 weeks to fuss up T*s "carnage" of Washington DC & prepare for the 4th of July 250th anniversary (not T*'s anniversary) celebration - if any. It's like having Xmas right after yr mom dies.

I'm confident that many folks on Bluesky appreciate Aaron's efforts. I could not sit through countless hours of Trump and the Republicans in order to distill their insanity down into more palatable, compact posts. We need to remain aware of them, as much as they repel us. Support Aaron if you can.

He surrounds himself with those in the tRump Epstein files. They will fight to keep files closed. They know if he goes down, he will take them with him.

Another MAGA pedophile

This is like watching some perv drop his drawers and go at it. (Sorry to be so blunt). What a git.

100 families think the rest of America is their playground& treasure chest, & that all others are here either submit to their whims or obstruct their pleasures. T* is the icon: for gas & oil barons, tech bros, transportation barons, & the lazy degenerate scions of all that wealth.

Of the 5 arrested at the Newark detention ctr last night, FOUR were out-of-state. Did anyone check affiliations before letting them go? Likely pro-T* cowboys. At least check! @govsherrill.bsky.social @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social @theatlantic.com look for infiltrators.

FAILURE OF IMAGINATION continues: Peaceful protests at NJs ICE detention center in Newark hv been ongoing for months. Recently "masked men carrying weapons" have infiltrated the peace to attack police as darkness falls. If this ain't T*'s ProudBoobz & OathDimwits -awaiting payday - using violence 🧵

@xavierbecerra.bsky.social You hv to break w the CA utility monopolies (Edison, PG&E) or you just don't deserve the governorship. They've caused massive damage to CA, incl death & destroy many a pocketbook every year. Face up to it. No more donor dollies in top slots of leadership. Thank you.
