JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance. If Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12-hour news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy." It's crazy that corruption isn't a problem for Republicans anymore. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

And it's especially fine not to respect presidents who disrespect their office, their oath of office, the Constitution and laws they swore to uphold, honor, decency, morality, truth, humanity, and everything we should be striving ourselves and teaching our children to respect.

Today's cartoon by Pat Bagley:

Watch as Rep. Ayana Pressley honors the women who have died because they were denied essential abortion care. Abortion care is a human right. We must keep up the fight for body autonomy.

It's long overdue .. (cartoon David Horsey) #politics

Liars got good Women and Mothers killed.

Amidst all the shrieks about Team Mamdani being commies, I think we need to remember that communism entails state ownership of the means of production, and there's only one political figure on the national stage not just advocating but actually implementing this. His name, of course, is Donald Trump

A tree is not merely wood; it is a natural air conditioner, a source of oxygen, a support for rainfall, and a sanctuary for birds. It is a safeguard for our future. When we cut down trees, we lose more than just greenery; we invite heat, drought, pollution, and suffering. 🌳 Save trees. Save lives.

In early May 2026, Trump’s motorcade—including heavy armored government vehicles and the presidential limousine—drove directly through the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. ================

That's all. 💚💛❤️💜💙🧡 #Pinks #ProudBlue

Venezuela is shaking and the world is barely watching. People still trapped under rubble, rescue teams overwhelmed — but it's not trending. Not enough clicks, apparently. Some disasters only matter if they happen in the right country. 🇻🇪 Pray for Venezuela. 🙏

Trumpy is terrified what will happen when he loses the mid-terms.. So his last best scam is the SAVE MY ASS ACT. In the most basic terms, this is a work around to end the 19th Amendment and to prevent millions of women from being able to vote. Even the GOP isn't interested. That's how bad it is.

SCOTUS handed down 4 major rulings this week. Corporate media covered each in isolation, buried in legal jargon, stripped of stakes. That ends here. Four assaults on human rights. One clear message: corporations and the powerful win, everyone else loses. Here is my non-legalese analysis.

Why would it say "welcome" when passports are for US citizens??

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday Don’t give negative thoughts more power than they deserve. Let them pass, and make room for kinder ones.

Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

And in related news.👇

Pete Buttigieg says his family was effectively swatted — except, instead of calling the cops, someone called Child Protective Services, lied and said Buttigieg had admitted to 'committing unspeakably violent crimes' and that his kids were at risk. The kids are not and were not at risk.

The Epstein class is absolutely terrified of the Mamdani wave.

Someone filed a FALSE CPS report against Pete Buttigieg to terrorize his family and keep him from being alone with his 4-year-old twins for 24 hours. Now they’re targeting politicians’ CHILDREN Whoever did this should face criminal charges! #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/212440/...

“Welcome, but be good” What a fucking moron

Trump: “You have to respect the president. If you don’t respect the president, you’re going to have a problem.” Funny, I don’t recall this clown calling for the same considerations for Obama and Biden.

Today, I introduced legislation to require that the minimum wage be a living wage. $25 an hour is what’s required for a full time worker to pay their bills, and we shouldn’t accept that full time work leaves people living in poverty.

It’s funny how all the criticisms of Democratic socialism end up sounding like endorsements

The Buffoon is most Likely the Cause….

Himes: I got a little bit more of an up-close-and-personal look at some of the damage that was done. I’ll tell you what: the Iranians hit our embassies. They hit pretty much all of our military facilities in the area.

Whoever drew this, they are right on the money. This is the truth. They divide us and then they conquer. It has worked for them for years they will never stop doing it unless we all team up together against them.

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

The Supreme Court today said: ✅ Cancer from pesticides? Sue yourself ✅ Fleeing danger? Not our problem ✅ Guns in public places..fine These 6 unelected extremists are out of control and have DESTROYED this court. Expand it or lose everything. #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/212399/...

It looks like we found the Reflecting Pool vandal.

It might be hot outside but the rent is freezing.

Checking whether you had even been in the location indicated in the allegation should have been the first step. Appalling protocol. This is unconscionable.

These women should be alive today. And these are likely not the only cases, as there has been a significant increase in maternal mortality rates in states that implement strict abortion bans. Rest in power. And may their deaths not be in vain. RIPower 🙏🏽🕊️🌺 msmagazine.com/2024/11/04/w...

This is not a presidency. It’s one man’s ongoing public psychiatric breakdown.

JD Vance isn't self-aware enough to know that Watergate only looks like a smaller story now because JD's boss is *exponentially* more corrupt than Nixon could ever be.

Brilliant 🔥

Republicans are going to call every Democrat a socialist no matter what they do. Might as well be a socialist and make people’s lives better.

Honestly it'd be refreshing if the party centrists would actually define themselves what they stand for, as opposed to defining themselves only by what they don't like and allowing centrism to be this nebulous catchall in the same was as "woke" on the right

Judge Emmet Sullivan has ordered the Trump administration to either release additional unredacted Jeffrey Epstein records or publicly explain by July 2 why the documents and redactions should remain withheld.

Attention: Trumpy LIED.. Thank you for your attention to this matter. PS, of course he lied. It's only shocking when he accidentally tells the truth.

World Central Kitchen is en route to Venezuela to provide hot meals for those affected by the devastating twin earthquakes as well as first responders, a vital, life-saving service if you are able and funds allow, you can donate at the link below donate.wck.org/campaign/815...

A federal judge has just ordered DOJ to turnover five categories of items from the Epstein Files that it previously failed to disclose by July 2 in a lawsuit brought by Katie Phang. Read the details here: joycevance.substack.com/p/finally-a-...
