Be ungovernable.

Gee, I wonder if the pardoned nursing home fraudster made significant donations to R campaigns, or bought Trump's crypto or something, and the victims of the fraudster did not? What would be the odds? (Narrator: The odds would be about 99%)

Yes, yes this!!

Always follow the money with this crew

There's enormous evidence that the cuts at USAID have resulted in hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths through the world. And this got negligible press coverage and probably less than 1% of Trump voters know these facts. I wonder if their stupidity on Ebola will get a similar response

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

While US corporate media breathlessly cover every remark and impulse of our Pres., meanwhile the world is changing dramatically and disastrously in ways that will cause enormous death and suffering. #climateemergency

"Mommy! Daddy! I'm a genius! Look at me, I tied my own shoe! Yay me!" One thing it shows is how weak and cowed the people around him are. None of them are strong enough to just tell him, "boss, you really shouldn't say this stuff, it makes you look so dumb."

When conservative Dem politicians advocate for R-lite policies on immigration, they're missing the public's ACTUAL sentiment on the topic. FOX et al did convince a lot of credulous people that the Biden Admin had "open borders" and had gone too far, but very few people want what's happening now

Saw rock powerhouse band the New Pornographers at the 930 Club last night. Carl Newman is an incredible songwriter and singer, and the two women singers had remarkable voices and stage presences. A five star night from longtime favorites.

I've not always been a fan of Bill Gates (to put it mildly), but he got it exactly right in his comments about DOGE and USAID -- the richest man in the world caused the death of many thousands of the poorest people in the world.

I got to talk to Barney Frank in depth about ten years ago, and he was funny and brilliant and irascible, someone who could be described as a real character

Think about the violence, abusiveness, lying and hostility to the public that we saw on the streets of Minneapolis, and ask yourself, "would it have been even worse if this had all taken place in a spot where there was secrecy and ICE agents could do what they wanted with no one knowing"?

1. What I found in Trump's new 113-page financial disclosure report. It doesn't look good.

This is going to be a GREAT event, and I hope a lot of people come to our office on June 17th and join us!

Chief Justice Roberts says the court isn't political. This week, six justices "read" 107 pages of legal briefing in 38 minutes and let Alabama gerrymander its congressional map mid-election. The stopwatch says otherwise.

I'm unhappy. I give blood at a Red Cross E Street Center near the Old Executive Office Building. Often a lot of security, so close to the White House. Big SUVs shut down 17th St and E St. A guy wearing back, w/ sunglasses points a large gun at me, looks through sight at me. This is not normal

Unfortunately, it seems that defamation suits have too often proven to be an effective way to silence and pressure survivors. It's a way for someone with more money and power to impose significant expenses and hassles on a person they've already harmed a lot

This is the kind of great and inspiring leadership we need to see from more national Democrats. I love AOC, Jamie Raskin, Chris Van Hollen, and want to see forceful voices lifted up in the party.

The affordability crisis for Americans is a lot more than gas prices due to the war. This thread sets out crucial facts about a major driver in making housing unaffordable for so many Americans -- policies letting private equity pirates rip people off

While China and the rest of the world charge forward with solar, we're going backwards and losing our edge because the regime has flat Earth idiots saying this kind of nonsense. Unbelievable, in 2026 to say something this stupid.

ABSOLUTELY GUT WRENCHING!

For the entire time I've been a lawyer, whomever was President, every said the Department of Justice were the lawyers for all Americans, not any one President or party. There were times it was less true than others, but that was the goal. This regime has abandoned it. DOJ is just for one man now

A moral stain on our country: “Trump’s most lethal policy will almost surely be his 71 percent cut in humanitarian aid from 2024 to 2025. A Boston University researcher estimated that the aid cuts cost more than 750,000 lives worldwide in their first year.” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/09/o...

Johnson's math is similar to Trump claiming that he reduced drug prices 800 percent. Next: Ra will claim (and FOX will breathlessly report) that the stock market is up eleventy million times and crime is down the square root of a bazillion

"You could use a variety of different numbers depending on whether you do or don't understand math or you do or don't mind lying."

For many years, Trump's position has consistently been that elections are fraudulent unless his side wins. ANY election where his side loses is necessarily the product of cheating. His head of "election integrity" is the same kind of guy. "Heads I win, tails you lose."

Nothing refutes the SCOTUS majority's claim that "America is past racism" more thoroughly than a Southern state carefully acting to make sure no Black people can be represented in its legislature.

Didn't Tiberius and later Caligula hold a bunch of gladiator fights and chariot races to try to distract the public from how badly everything was going in Rome?

The corruption is staggering. I'm sure we'll see DOJ take action IF they can verify that the miscreant(s) are low level soldiers not tied to the regime.

My impression is that a backlash to public health measures responding to covid (which saved so many lives, but sometimes at great economic and other cost) supercharged the anti-vax and anti-science trolls. Right wing people fed this, to turn folks against the govt. And now children are dying.

i mean i got some doge scoops & it was such a pleasure to shine a light on how things reaallllly worked when powers that be wanted to hide it but wired was IT. man. it makes me want to start my own awards / foundation how much gets ignored or at best under credited

Prediction markets are rigged against consumers—insider trading, misleading bets & worse returns than Vegas slot machines. A shocking 67% of profits go to only 0.1% accounts.

It's striking that the war against Iran is so unpopular, when the corporate/state media (FOX, CBS, WAPO, etc.) are fluffing the war non-stop with a series of "experts" going on about how crucial and successful it's been. People are seeing what's happening despite their gate keepers' efforts

The people who work for him are so afraid of him, and so used to enabling him, that no one can tell him, "boss, it's not possible to reduce the price of something by 500%, because mathematically that would mean people were being paid to buy eggs." Him repeating this nonsense shows their weakness.

This is the bit from ray's reporting that really took me out. The Trump admin's efforts will overturn a Biden-era rule that regulated against easily preventable emissions leakages.

Let's not lose sight of the fact that apparently the only way they could get this extended surveillance program through was to tack on something that crypto lobbyists wanted.... Always follow the money with these folks.

Justice Elena Kagan Isn't Mincing Words, About The Voting Rights Act........

Monsanto/Bayer have made MUCH larger contributions to Rs than the MAHA moms, so the Administration is trying to protect them from lawsuits based on the science that Roundup is dangerous. With this regime, always follow the money

Trump laughed about the attack on Paul Pelosi. Trump exulted when Robert Mueller died. Trump had no comment about the murder and attack on Democratic state legislators in Minnesota. So please spare me the hand wringing that a comic and Dems generally don't condemn political violence enough

NEWS! Ballrooms to be installed in American high schools to protect against shootings newsthump.com/2026/04/27/b...

Such an important and wise thread, a lot to be felt about and learned from this history

I'm sure FOX will start running more stories about how Joe Biden was supposedly too old to be President, and that almost none of its viewers will ever see this picture.

It's pretty obvious that "I'll look into it" actually means "stop asking me about it." We don't need these credulous headlines. This administration does not care about government ethics. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This is great journalism As more and more media are concentrated in the hands of a handful of oligarch jerks, Mother Jones is still doing hard hitting investigative work. I support them and wish I could do much more.

Periodically I'll hear someone bang on that Trump's a man of the people. This pampered billionaire obsesses about gold decorations, wants things named after him, and has never heard the phrase "corner store" before. He also thinks you have to show a govt ID to buy groceries. Man of the people?

Giving Congress (well, a Subcommittee of a Committee at least) a piece of my mind
