I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.

Mesmerizing

Just because Trump brought RFK Jr. aboard to firm up the kook vote doesn't mean health writers have to keep looking for some kernel of truth in there somewhere.

If this nation had moral standards, a pedophile would not be allowed to host a murderer in the Oval Office.

Well this is incredibly sad. 😞

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.

The difference between cats and dogs is that when you have a dog you have a pet 100% of the time, and when you have a cat you have a pet somewhere between 20-50% of the time, only, and this is the important bit, you do not get any input on their schedule

Explain it this way: modernizing is when Melania has plastic surgery. A tear down was when you dumped Ivanka for Marla.

face my fears. face reality. what’s the difference at this point

BUFFOON

attempting to describe the vibes of the moment. have yet to do better than: "imagine watching a documentary reenacting the burning of the Library of Alexandria set to the soundtrack of 'Yakety Sax'"

a nation on edge holds its breath as the former host of celebrity apprentice huddles with his advisors, the wrestlemania ceo and the former co-host of fox & friends weekends

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

The Naval Academy cancelled a freakin' Ken Burns documentary showing, not because of the content, but because Burns had been critical of Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed. He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

My eldest daughter Claudia once asked me why there isn’t a provision that says that convicted felons can’t be president and this was *exactly* my answer

Do any of us say to ourselves "only voters can stop child molesters"? Of course not. That's for law enforcement. Same thing for a criminal president. He's breaking the law, every day, but he's so powerful that law enforcement is too scared. And that's where we are.

This is in Mississippi—the state with the largest Black population by percent. Nearly 4-in-10 Mississippians are Black. Yet we have "Confederate Heritage Month" and "Confederate Memorial Day." Oh, and our 8 statewide elected state officials look like this.

Kurt Vonnegut man

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

One of the first things Trump did was pardon an asylum seeker from Brazil who was part of the January 6 riot.

Pete Hegseth in 2016: "The people we rely on to do dangerous and difficult things for us rely on one thing from us: That we will not... be reckless with the dangerous things they are doing for us. That's the national security implications of a private server that's unsecured."

Always! @suffsmusical.bsky.social

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

*checks 401k* apparently i paid for his tesla

Fact-check: True

Don't be sad—everything is temporary, including those who run the show with their executive orders day after day, including the super wealthy who count their fortunes in marble halls. (Share positive messages to train your algorithm to bring unifying and human-centric stories to your feed)

The problem with Dems chasing public opinion is that THE PUBLIC'S VIEW OF THINGS IS JUST MOVING IN RESPONSE TO WHAT POLITICAL FIGURES SAY AND IT'S VERY OBVIOUS IN THE DATA MY GOD

How it started How it’s going 💰 🤷🏼‍♂️

There it is. Literally saying the US and Russia are working together to take away the independence of another country. I'm wondering if any of our press is gonna pick this one up? Seems like headline material?

NEW: We obtained a summary of the 5,200 federal police misconduct incidents Trump deleted earlier this month. Turns out 75 percent of them stemmed from Customs & Border Protection and Bureau of Prisons employees. theappeal.org/nlead-trumps...
