Trump’s not governing the country. He’s monetizing it.

The most corrupt presidency in American history. Trump turned the presidency into the world’s most profitable business enterprise for himself. His financial disclosures show nearly $800 mill tied to World Liberty Financial, $635 mill from a meme coin, millions more from Trump-branded ventures.

A judge rules that Epstein files be released unredacted, so Trump locks down WH and considers all out war in Iran. Redirecting and deflecting attention away from the TRUMPSTEIN files??? I thought Congress reeled in his war powers! Impeach this insane criminal now.

Justice Alito is a smug whiny little bitch. He has corrupt and unethical and I guarantee he is a tax cheat. I can’t wait until he has hauled in front of Congress for public hearings.

8th generation Texan @jamestalarico.bsky.social to Texas voters: “Texans are strivers & builders & dreamers of all colors & creeds of all backgrounds and beliefs. It’s in our blood.” Shouldn’t that be true for ALL of US open.substack.com/pub/heatherc... #VoteBlueSaveDemocracy

The left/progressives FAIL at news media. There is barely a presence on TV whereas the right is all over TV /apps with OAN/Newsmax/fox etc. losing Alex sucks. No messaging on weekends now. The lefts epic failure to invest in news media messaging period is killing us.

Damn MSNOW is getting rid of Alex Witt. Man. She is fantastic. What a loss

Company hired in earlier Reflecting Pool renovations declined to work for Trump because his plan was ‘unfeasible’: report

And in related news.👇

Because the Republican Party 'controls' SCOTUS.

I’ll repeat it again for the people in the back, the United States has no Supreme Court, it is now a weapon filled with 6 fascist terrorists used by the orange felon to destroy the country and relieve people of their basic human rights instead of him being in jail for treason.

Conservatism is a sociopathic mental disorder. It needs to be diagnosed and treated as such.

How all of us wish the reporters would handle him: "No, you didn't." "No, you DIDN'T" "No sir, that's not how any of that happened." "No, the fuck you didn't sir!"

Had a beautiful summer solstice, Sweatlodge

I’m so tired of Bill Maher being a whiny little bitch about the Democrats. Fuck off Bill.

It seems that the italian prime minister is pissed off.

WATCH: California Governor Gavin Newsom says that he and his family are being targeted by the Trump Justice Department as a result of his public opposition to the president and his policies. @nicollewallace.bsky.social reacts.

The crowd at the White House UFC fight was one of the most diverse ever. In attendance, there were convicted felons, rapists, pedophiles, sex traffickers, domestic abusers and insurrectionists.

These right wing billionaires and Rupert Murdoch why are these not targeted as in kind donations Donald Trump should have to pay taxes or declare this crap. They’re providing free media for Trump.

Josh Hokit is the perfect representative of Trumpism: a thuggish, semi-literate lout who trash talks and pukes on himself. A piece of shit, admired by pieces of shit, celebrating being a piece of shit.

This attack on Gov. Newsom represents a dangerous escalation by Trump. The President frequently calls for the jailing of his perceived enemies, but his playbook of weaponizing the Department of Justice as a personal attack dog is another level of corruption. This must stop.

In other words: the U.S. gives Iran everything it wants immediately, including billions in cash, for a pinky promise to negotiate a future deal on the things the U.S. wants

By the way Jane and fellow performers are putting on a show so you don't have to watch the grisly crisis of masculinity on the White House lawn.

“Love feels like blasphemy when you worship power”

The Kennedy Center is tonight getting the best television ratings its ever had in its history.

The world's first trillionaire received 38 Billion Dollars from the US government. But, no, we won't have enough money to pay for school lunches for your kids. Or give you healthcare. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Kennedy Center saga is so perfectly Trumpian. He installed a board of sycophants, put his name on a building in a typeface that didn't even match, tried to shut the venue down when artists boycotted him, and now he’s legally being erased tonight. Here’s to the first eviction of many.

You think the Republican crash-out over California’s elections is bad? Wait until you see how they act when they get stomped in the midterms. Brace yourselves, and be prepared to defend democracy more than ever.

Jay Clayton has shown that he is willing to spread baseless lies about voting in order to curry favor with Trump. Whether he is a committed election denier or merely an opportunist is not for me to judge — and, in any case, it is beside the point. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/how-...

Trump insulted Ted Cruz‘s wife over her looks. Cruz sucked up to Trump anyway. We don’t need any lectures in masculinity from Ted Cruz.

Well, you see, Democrats stole the 2020 election when Republicans were in charge, but then Democrats couldn't steal the 2024 election when Democrats were in charge because of, uh

Pete Hegseth dropping deism and Unitarian Universalism from accepted religions in the military is honestly almost too fucking hilarious for me to be properly outraged about.

What the hell is with advertisements? It’s so out of control. We are getting bombarded with enormous amounts of ads on every platform -if I’m using an app and a hit pause for whatever reason I get a fucking ad everywhere I go they’re shoving fucking ads down my throat

My comment: We all owe Heather Cox Richardson a tremendous debt of gratitude for her tireless effort to document these chaotic times in which we live. She is truly a national treasure! I have no doubt her efforts will go down in the history books!

Is it a sign of a functioning country that every time we hear that the SCOTUS is going to issue an opinion, we know our lives are about to get worse?

What is with the excess of ads and advertisements on every media form? It’s way more predatory. On one of my apps, if I hit pause an ad will show up. Those greedy right wing billionaires are soaking us to death.

We are in a coup

Black Alabamians should not pay taxes anymore.

Shame on Nick Bilton. He had a sweet perch of witting industry and celeb friendly but smart pieces and has decided to throw in with the fascists instead.

BREAKING: CBS News has terminated 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley's contract following his vocal disagreements with the new leadership under Bari Weiss.

History will be very kind to Pelley. Not so much to CBS News.

Ossoff: Both of my Trump puppet opponents said that they would support this $1.8 billion slush fund for Jan 6 foot soldiers. I'm running against two Trump puppet Maga fanatics who are pro-war, pro-tariff, pro-cutting your health care pro-Jeffrey Epstein memorial ballroom….

Happy Pride Month

100% yesssss

Peter Thiel fleeing to Argentina just like the Nazi scum that came before him, proving once again that tech billionaires are incapable of coming up with any new ideas.

James Talarico just responded to the latest faux scandal: "I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment. And if all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November."
