A few thoughts ahead of the President’s speech tonight.

My baby girl is 16 years old today! Gotta head to the RMV for her driver’s test.

Shuler: Rent is still too high. Your paycheck still doesn’t stretch to the end of the month, and you’re still worried that the boss—or the people running this country—don’t give a damn about your family. We’re fed up with an economy that treats workers like an expense to be minimized

I can't really imagine any US President taking to social media explicitly to call the country stupid and still having the support of 36% of its citizens, but here we are.

Correct on BOTH counts.

wish SCOTUS would examine "a well regulated militia" with the granularity they are debating "domicile"

Just a note of appreciation for Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's fierce devotion to the rule of law.

Still kind of amazing to me that the brazenness of Trump's pardon selling is buried under all of his other corruption and incompetence.

A clearly unfit President causing chaos and endangering lives doesn’t raise the spit and vinegar in our free press like they showed the last President, who did his job over granting them exclusive interviews.

If any other president had pardoned - pardoned! - a man like this, they would have probably been impeached by now. Trump gets away with this kind of gross shit, day after day: www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

How is it that this story kind of came and went without provoking some obvious questions regarding our own possibly election tipping assassination attempt?

Me: “The time from when a Republican says something homophobic, to when he’s photographed at a white party in Palm Springs dancing to Sylvester whilst wearing a pair of assless chaps, is exactly 6 months. You can set your watch by it.” GF: “Honey, they set the global atomic clock by it.”

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

native americans determined to not be birthright citizens; deported back to america

When the birthright citizenship decision comes out, people will say it could never have gone any other way, that the law was obvious. But the mere fact that SCOTUS took on the case is evidence enough that we are living in a time of democratic precarity.

Happy 17th birthday to my Daisy, a venerable old beastie.

It is crazy how few people know this: Russia now occupies less Ukrainian land than it did one month into the full-scale invasion four years ago

Meanwhile, back in reality, Donald Trump is repeatedly pardoning fraudsters.

I hope everyone’s learned their lesson about “let’s run our government like a business” bullshit Businesses can be run into the ground Not really supposed to do that with governments

Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump gets prison sentence for possessing 'enormous child pornography collection' www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Ultimately, Trump's war is against us. They're talking about taking even more money out of healthcare and SNAP to fund it.

Iran destroyed a US Air Force E-3 Sentry in an airstrike on a Saudi Arabian base. There are only about 15 of these aircraft, valued at approximately $500 mill each, and losing one is a serious hit to the U.S. ability to detect and track threats at long range. And there’s a Russia connection… 1/2

If the Senate and the House committee can’t work or effectively govern then they shouldn’t be paid! I don’t get paid for skipping work, so neither should they!

The call is coming from inside the house.

A free society doesn’t police people’s bodies or their presence in public

Sounds like the gulf states need to step up and get involved, then. This air campaign almost certainly isn’t going to bring about the regime change they want. It’s always easy to send someone else’s sons and daughters to die.

Right, simply entertaining this challenge as if it's remotely legitimate is already discrediting. If there's a single vote to end birthright citizenship, we need to take this Supreme Court apart with sledgehammers and start over.

Canada has been repeatedly insulted by the US for over a year, so please understand why the country is not jumping to assist in a war anyone with a brain would have indicated was a bad idea

Accountability brings consequences. And consequences are the only language corruption understands. Money and political power do not outrank the Constitution. They just need a wake up call and it’s coming at the midterms.👇

The mere existence of this sentence in the chyron is evidence of a staggering level of incompetence, stupidity and failure. You talk to the people who control the army and state power ministries. They seem to be playing games going on something they heard from a guy who said who knows a guy.

This is an excellent summary of current circumstances Kyle Kulinski: “A sundowning president with Alzheimer’s who’s a malignant narcissist is dragging us into WWIII, committing war crimes on a daily basis and crashing the global economy, and nobody is actually grabbing the steering wheel.”

Omg! Huge shoutout to San Francisco, CA! Ocean Beach, you crushed it! 🌊

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and also the best guarantee we can hold free and fair elections this November. Today, it was shining brightly. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

You know why President Pedophile hated Robert Mueller so much? Because Mueller proved that the Trump Organization wouldn't even exist without Putin's money & their primary business activity was laundering dirty Russian cash. Trump had to get crooked Bill Barr & the Nazi GOP to stop his impeachment.

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.

The Forest Service alone lost 16% of its workforce because of DOGE, plus big reductions from Interior and Agriculture—all agencies tasked with both fighting fires and reducing fuel for fires on the landscape.

ICE in the Houston airport Hunter, Daily Kos - Periodically, small packs of ICE agents wander by. Their job is guns. They are there to watch, and to have guns. They do not know the rules about toothpaste, and will not answer your questions... They are just there to watch you, and to have guns.

NONE OF THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING IF SHE WAS IN OFFICE

The recruitment offices should be bursting at the seams with trump supporters.

Shay Taylor worked as a janitor for ten years at Yale New Haven Hospital. Soon, she will return as a doctor 🙌🏽

Long before today’s ruling, we knew social media was harming our young people. Teens, parents, advocates, even casual observers begged tech and elected leaders to take action. While we applaud this decision, we have more work to do to protect young people online and support their mental health.

Crazy huh? If feels like decades😭

We owe them enormous gratitude Thank you

Black women I followed in 2022 opposed Fetterman in the primary. They were right. Platner worked for Blackwater, got a giant Nazi chest tattoo, and is misogynistic. Most importantly, the base of the party - black women - oppose him. #VoteLikeBlackWomen

😂😂😂😂

This is unbelievable. Look at those stars.
