Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

Judge Amit Mehta when he sentenced the remorseless Rhodes to 18 years in prison: “I dare say, Mr. Rhodes—and I never have said this to anyone I have sentenced—you pose an ongoing threat and peril to our democracy and the fabric of this country.” www.americaamerica.news/p/the-ongoin...

Hey, Mitch. You could have prevented ALL THIS by voting to convict him and bar him from holding office again. Asshole.

If releasing your tax returns and the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

Facts…

This is only the beginning. He has no plans to leave office or allow free elections. Nor are his plans hidden—they're all unfolding in plain sight. The Insurrection never ended and the Christofascists won't stop until our democracy is gone. Choose who you'll be in this moment.

The weakness of the US political system is that it depends on the good faith of the people in government.

This should be the headline story on every news publication and telecast including local news every day for several days. But it won’t. It will be shrugged off like so much else by so much of media. The most corrupt thing that has ever come out of the US govt.

This is easily the saddest time in American history. The absolute worst people are systematically destroying the country, and our system is completely failing to stop them.

In 1952, Richard Nixon's career was nearly derailed by revelations that he had access to a slush fund of $18,000 -- less than a quarter million today." People used to give a shit about that kind of thing, you see.

When a federal agency tasked with protecting all Americans decides to mandate a specific religious worldview, it ceases to protect democracy and begins to threaten it.

I’m late to the party, but it’s finally hit me that too many people equate wealth with intelligence. Get serious, people! No, I do not think you’re particularly smart or qualified to run a government because you’re a billionaire.

It’s really hard to describe how insane this story is. Of course Patel went snorkeling over the USS Arizona - that’s what happens when you put an irreverent internet troll in charge of a government agency. Disrespectful assclown.

For the umpteenth time: The most corrupt president in American history.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks I struggle with this everyday. I have always had compassion for all people. Compassion is not Woke, it should be an emotion that we all feel for others. It is caring. Don’t let cruelty become the norm, it’s what the current administration promotes. #LoveNotHate

Jared Polis is so completely full of shit. His commutation of Tina Peters' sentence has nothing to do with freedom of speech. What a joke. What an insult to the law-abiding citizens of Colorado. What an assault on free and fair elections. An embarrassing profile in cowardice.

We've become numb to this stuff, but a president accusing a journalist of treason -- a capital crime -- for reporting on an ongoing war is not normal, and we should never accept it as normal.

America's chief Middle East negotiator - Jared Kushner - is almost completely dependent on Middle East government investment in his chief business. It's probably the biggest conflict of interest in American diplomatic history and we should be talking about this way more.

One of the insane, evil Targaryens, obviously.

The Trump Foreign Policy: betray our allies, start new wars, create new enemies, spend a fortune, deplete military stockpiles, abandon the impoverished and sick, cut off soft power tools, create animosity everywhere towards America.

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.”

I predicted many times that Trump is going to sell out Taiwan during this presidency just as he has tried to do with Ukraine and Xi is well aware he has the first US president who can be taken advantage of.

There must be accountability at the end of the day….

This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.

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?

Most Definitely ♥️

War is peace

Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

i want to protect my family and dont like gas, so i bought the statistically most dangerous car ever produced, a $70,000+ road-obliterating 19 ton monstrosity powered by child labor lithium

Overdose deaths in Kentucky have dropped for four years in a row under Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social. In 2025, we saw a 22.9% decrease and the lowest number of overdose deaths since 2014. Investing in treatment, recovery, and harm reduction works.

So let me get this straight, “Project freedom” lasted 12 hours? Then Trump backed down. Seriously now, HOW can ANYONE call this man strong? Seriously?!

A century ago during the 1920s, America experienced what the historian Merle Curti aptly called a "cult of prosperity," an era that -- just like our own -- conflated "rich and powerful" with "brilliant and wise" I'm a bit fuzzy on the details, but I bet it worked out great for everyone back then.

94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. 85% of teachers are working second jobs during the school year, often just to keep up with the cost of living. Meanwhile, the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Something has gone terribly wrong.

Codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and holding members of this administration criminally accountable are important goals, but none of it sticks without Supreme Court reform.

Things will only get better when we realize that just because someone has a lot of money doesn’t mean they’re not a stupid asshole with nothing worthwhile to say.

Do these journalists hear how INSANE they sound? In what UNIVERSE do you think we are in a ceasefire? How is that even a QUESTION? What is WRONG with corporate media?

This is more accurate than people realize.

Same energy:

Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to America. What do your taxes actually do for you

You can apply lots of normalizing frameworks or you can just make a timeline of his calls with Putin. We don’t have a sovereign foreign policy. We have superpower suicide.

WE ARE UNDER-REACTING‼️ If you needed any more proof that the Voting Rights Act is still necessary, just look at what’s happening right now: red states rushing to wipe out Black representation the second SCOTUS gutted it. What went down this week is going to have devastating consequences. 🧵

FACT: If Democrats were the ones rigging elections, Trump never would have been President.

Warnock: "I know that there are those who are tired of the remedy. I'm tired of racism. I think it's a strange position to be more concerned about the medicine than you are about the malady."

This is a Trump trifecta: It increases prices, it alienates our allies and it is probably illegal.
