I think a lot of the commentary around “how did Platner happen” is missing the obvious: he had a compelling message for action and accountability that a large swath of center and left of center voters yearn for and find missing from most elected democrats (and all republicans).

Good morning and Happy Friday, Ray and all!👋☕️ trump is brain dead now, and no one is doing a very good job of covering that up. 😂

I wish the media had the same urgency about the state of Mitch McConnell as they did for Kamala's W-2 from McDonald's in the 80s.

Trump just gave Infantino a call… #Sheshed

Trump's lil' Johnson looks scared shitless (19 seconds)

There’s no difference between men marching in white masks and men marching in white hoods. None.

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity andhappiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

Just sayin’.

Ossoff: On Wednesday of this last week he said the war was "Done." And then on Thursday another ship was struck. On Friday the president was bombing again. This is what happens when you send your son-in-law, Jared, to cosplay as a diplomat

“If we lose, people might investigate us" is a helluva campaign pitch for "innocent" politicians.

On the fourth anniversary of the overturning of Roe v Wade remember that they lied to get their seats on the Supreme Court

The regime is still in place, albeit with less experienced leaders, the Straits will be open (like they were before the war), we will pay Iran billions, they won't have a nuke program (again), no changes for civil rights, oil infrastructure in the region damaged ... So what was accomplished?

Elon Musk spent millions to elect Trump. His company Starlink, which dominates rural broadband services, lobbied to cut funding for rural broadband alternatives. Now, Starlink is jacking up prices on its captive customers. Government for the billionaires, by the billionaires.

May 2026. It just keeps getting worse...

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

Don’t think for one second they aren’t coming for all of our benefits 😡👇🏼

National Guard deployment to DC had no effect on violent crime, study says The study estimates that between August and December 2025, the price of the National Guard presence in D.C. came to $185 million. #SheShed

🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Pat Ryan just got the House Armed Services Committee UNANIMOUSLY to force Pete Hegseth to explain every senior #military firing within the next 5 days. Hegseth has fired 24+ officers without cause or explanation. Even Republicans want answers. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

I’m 80 and my husband is 82 and we don’t randomly fall asleep in a roomful of people. THIS IS NOT A WELL MAN; neither physically nor mentally.

The names & allegations in the Epstein files deserve full transparency, regardless of party, wealth, or status. The survivors deserve facts, transparency & equal accountability under the law! #SheShed #StandWithSurvivors #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #KeepTalkingAboutTheEpsteinFiles

They’re doing this to prevent whistleblowers. They are that corrupt.

Guess why?! 👇

“We can disagree and still be friends.” Yeah, about whether pineapple belongs on pizza. Not racism and homophobia.

This is something you will never hear on Fox, Newsmax or any other rightwing channel.

The chance that the disgrace in Iran has been resolved by agreement varies inversely with the frequency with rich the maga president says a settlement has been reached.

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

Weird, right?

Note that there's been no threat to sue over this statement. I know I would be suing for tens of millions if I was innocent.

When my former party today says the left “needs to tone down the rhetoric,” just pull this one out. It’s one of so very, very many.👇

'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' is a fable by Aesop (620 BCE - 564 BCE) about a shepherd boy who repeatedly tricks villagers into thinking a wolf is attacking his sheep, only to be ignored when a real wolf appears, leading to the loss of his flock.

Going forward, every time Trump uses your tax dollars to drop a bomb on Iran we should understand it as an admission that he lacks the skill to get a deal done.

Trump’s obvious short attention span is a liability Iranians are leveraging to own him in settlement negations. Short term for Trump is this afternoon. Short term for the Iranians is this century.

The United States LOST 150,000 manufacturing and construction jobs last year.

Clark: It is a total betrayal of what he told people: “I’m going to lower your costs. I’m going to release the Epstein files. And I will not get us into a new war.” My Republican colleagues—could stop this at any time. He chooses chaos, and they choose undying loyalty to him.

JUST NOW: Trump on Truth Social. “A whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” JFC. Can no-one stop him?

Trump and the clown he has running the department of defense are both prototypes for what a weak person imagines a strong person to be be. Tim Kaine called them juvenile. I concur, but you can be juvenile and clever, and these guys are not. Just weak.

The President of the United States commemorates Easter by threatening war crimes and dropping an F-bomb We need a new president, immediately, insomuch as this one has lost all control over his faculties

The President starts a war with Iran. Now, his family looks to profit from it. The corruption is enough to make you sick.
