Marjorie Taylor Greene challenged Trump successfully on the Epstein files. Now, suddenly she is resigning her office without explanation effective January 6.

One thing I'll bet liberals were not expecting to come out of the Epstein files is how much Noam Chomsky liked and admired Jeffrey Epstein. But what is probably not too surprising is how Epstein helped and advised Steve Bannon in fomenting an authoritarian far right-wing movement in Europe.

When Newsom promoted Prop 50, it was stated as conditional on whether GOP states gerrymandered in GOP favor. But he pulled the conditional language out just before the vote, so the CA Dem gerrymander happens regardless. Now it looks like the TX gerrymander is being made illegal due to racist lines.

Under the new Trumpian fascism, using the war on immigrants as an excuse, the definition of "suspicious activity" has been expanded so far that any completely innocent person can be stopped on the road and subjected to long invasive, destructive searches. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQxw...

This is amazingly good.

I believe they are not going to find a pedo smoking gun held by Trump in the Epstein files. The value of releasing the files is being in the headlines for a long period and spinning off infinite conspiracy theories based on every Trump mention in them, thus turning their own tactics against them.

Trump policy, latest iteration: We need to kick out immigrants who haven't taken the kinds of jobs Americans want in order to make room to bring in immigrants who will take the kinds of jobs Americans want but at much lower pay.

Dear @schumer.senate.gov Your career ends on the legacy of backing down in the face of a bully and returning to your party's habit of losing and dooming the ACA. No one who might vote Democrat wanted this capitulation, we wanted you to fight harder. This is a war and you are helping lose it.

"We're bringing inflation down" say Republicans, as they intentionally force health insurance premiums under the Affordable Care Act for the working poor to increase 114%, yanking health insurance away from millions upon millions or American workers and their families.

Florence + The Machine, Madison Cunningham, and Hannah Frances are uniquely gifted artists who just released some great new music. They get love on this 200th episode of Air-Conditioned, as well as Radiohead, Mitski, Dirty Projectors, Bjork, Dust City Opera, and James Blake. 1/3

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath? Character isn't something you tell people about. It's something you live.

A stock dip comes after Reuters reported Meta estimated a chunk of revenue would come from running fraudulent ads.

Trump: "I am not a King" Also Trump: "I demand you tear down part of the White House and build me a golden ballroom that is more than ten times larger than the largest ballroom in any palace in the world"

Against every atom of my being, I am going to start looking at CVS receipts. The kindly front register cashier asked for my ridiculously long pharmacy receipt and found coupons allowing her to take $7 off my $17 non-pharmacy item.

Autocrats want you to feel like pushing back is hopeless. It’s not! Trump is a paper tiger. Most Americans don’t want this authoritarian takeover.

In the past, the money he said he was collecting for charity he already didn't give to charity, so.....

J.D. Vance explained Trump's A.I. video of a plane dumping tons of literal shit on No Kings protestors as "satire". Satire is defined as clever, humorous critiques meant to reveal a deeper truth or problem. Trump's vid was simply sadistic and meant to get his toadies to laugh in agreed hatred.

In the 80s I was in an eclectic band called Pond Dog Loitering, but we were eclipsed by Poi Dog Pondering.

Do not let anyone convince you that if you are against Netanyahu's scorched earth actions against Gaza that it means you are automatically antisemitic. I guarantee you there are Jews living in Israel who are just as opposed to Netanyahu's inhumane ultraviolence as many outsiders. I know some.

They talk about ICE-caught deportees being shipped out to distant countries in Africa or South America for imprisonment. Has anyone (such as legit journalists) independently verified they are reaching and surviving in these places and not being disappeared/exterminated?

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

A lot of dummies support DT because they want him to "run the country like he runs his business" thinking that somehow means America will be "rich and successful" but never pausing to reflect that businesses are dictatorships and interested only in their own financial gain.

Hi, we are A.I. and we are going to throw vast swaths of the population out of work with nowhere else to go. We are also going to gobble up every bit of energy that can be produced plus massive amounts that have yet to be produced, greatly increasing the planet's problems. And no one is saying No.

Trump is dominating as much because of the INACTION of those who oppose him as it is due to the actions by him and his supporters. We don't need more complaining and pointing out, we need more actionable strategies and leadership.

This is a $490.00 hand held hair dryer. From COSTCO. Four hundred and ninety DOLLARS. A small hand held HAIR DRYER.

Is any major politician other than Gavin Newsom taking real, practical measures (not just rhetoric) to push back against Trump's authoritarian abuses and attempted dismantling of our Democratic republic?

Goodbye, Disney+!

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

My S.O. and I both enjoy HULU and were looking forward to some new show seasons, but I am more than happy we canceled it to tell their ABC-Disney masters just what we think about them capitulating to this tryna-be dictator's overthrow of our basic freedoms and democracy.

View today in San Marcos, California

I am not on the bandwagon that Trump is secretly dead, but by the same token he and his people have been blatantly, almost laughably lying about his health since his first term in office so nothing they say should have any implication of credibility either.

It is hard to imagine that the chaos, uncertainty, or harm of this POTUS succumbing to a secret serious health problem could be any worse than the chaos, uncertainty, and harm of him being well-functioning.

Those weirdly distorted faces in the Will Smith video aren't A.I., they were just recently slapped.

Morning hike, Encinitas, CA

President F*ck has destroyed the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, as he wanted to. They are shutting down.

In his continuing push for totalitarian dictatorial control, Trump has fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics for reporting verifiable facts instead of fictitious numbers favorable to Trump.

I dealt with 3 different people in person at Home Depot trying to order bulk landscaping sand delivered to my house and each one of them effed up the order in one way or the other. The SMALLEST mistake was putting in the order that the 4 X 1000 Lb bags of sand should be delivered to INSIDE my house.

The new two-part Billy Joel documentary on HBO/Max is fascinating whether you are a fan of his or not.

If the Trump-loyalist-controlled DOJ grants Ghislaine Maxwell immunity in exchange for testimony, it obviously will only be because she is promising to say things that help Trump. Media is playing it for drama like she might say anything, but there is no drama, only foregone conclusion.

I hope the tragic death of Malcolm-Jamal Warner will encourage people to learn an incredibly important lesson: If you like to swim at beaches, know what rip currents are, what they look like, how to avoid them, and if you do get caught in one learn the techniques to deal with it. They are not rare!

Women are punished more for not forgiving than men are for doing wrong in the first place.

Egg prices, which Trump insisted he would immediately and fully bring down when his term started, actually top the latest official list CPI (inflation) list of consumer items at 27% more expensive June 2024-June 2025. That is literally 2x the next lower item on the list, piped-in gas for home energy
