I hated Bush Jr., but this man right here is one trillion miles removed from "a culture of life". Just a madman who thinks he can kill anyone who doesn't gargle his 🏉🏉s.

The investigative report affirms that Mayor Frey knew there were unanswered questions and pending investigations into Brian O’Hara when he renominated him to the City Council a couple of weeks ago. This nomination should never have happened.

This idiot wants to collapse the entire United States airline industry! Stunning.

Ken Paxton's win helps Democrats make corruption the main theme of November's election. It's a message that can work in every state and every district. My latest at MSNOW: www.ms.now/opinion/ken-...

Why do I feel like if government goons pepper-sprayed Lindsey Graham during the Biden administration, it would have come before the comma.

Pick a Bond villain from the pictures you already have on your phone.

I have basically no context, but if the word sounds sorta like encyclopedia, I'd – maybe naively – expect it to be long.

Devastating line from Krugman: "Success in modern war depends crucially on out-thinking one’s enemies. But MAGA is all about deprecating hard thinking and valorizing belligerent ignorance."

How many times does it take for US military veterans to understand that he hates them? It remains SHOCKING.

"2025 data is in, the message is clear: International visitors stayed away from the US in the first real year-over-year decline since the Covid pandemic... Travelers cite presidential rhetoric and policies... as some of the reasons for staying away... Total spending decreasing by more than $8 Bn"!

Pope Leo has released his first encyclical, on AI.

After Popes like Benedict, it's been truly fascinating to see Catholicism rising to be a significant counter-weight to conservative excess.

Argument Nth thousand for a 90% tax on incomes over a million a year + an annual wealth-based tax.

And a plurality of idiot voters decided to put one collosal ignoramus egotist in charge of the nation. Again. 🤦🏼

The tech lords have made it clear: we're all 'NPCs'. So our response should be: You don't think we're real people, then you don't get our real money or attention.

"The position of surgeon general has gone unfilled during the entirety of the second Trump administration. President Trump’s first two nominees, Janette Nesheiwat and Casey Means, failed to advance in the Senate." Trump Admin doesn't care about anyone's health. This work around is B.S.

It looks increasingly likely that a new all-time UK May temperature record will be set on Monday - 32.8C is currently the highest temperature ever recorded in May

There are several reasons why I think this is not a great name for a store. 🤔 (In the main shopping area of Belfast.)

The man's senility HAS to become newsworthy soon, doesn't it?

May the road rise with you. Bangor, N. Ireland

watching the colbert late show finale and i really haven’t felt sad about this so much as offended but it is kind of sad. he’s genuinely one of the best to ever do it. a unique talent. all very fucked up

Judge Perry "said there might be talk of sanctions for prosecutors down the road." Good. The legal profession requires consequences for officers of the court who behave this recklessly and with such disregard for honesty.

Apparently the Times web folks may be trying to downplay this Opinion piece. Please give it a read, let them know their audience wants and deserves writing that spells out Trump's corruption, and doesn't just 'sports-cast' how bold and aggressive it is.

Jeff Bezos paid $0.00 in income taxes in 2007 and 2011, years when his net worth was $4 billion and $18 billion respectively. Otherwise, he pays an income tax rate of about 1%. More people should know this! www.propublica.org/article/the-...

Trump and his idiot friends are an endless, roiling disaster for America.

In an unusual flight path, jet flies into World Trade Center.

Every taxpayer in America (except any J6ers who might have paid a bit in) is getting RIPPED OFF massively in this corruption, criminal scheme.

The US abdicating it's role as a maintainer of global health means – of course – that US health will also be impacted. I've been very worried about tuberculosis.

A point that the great @donmoyn.bsky.social often makes is that the handing out of governing spoils is a signpost on the road to authoritarianism. I think this quote captures this very well, and it's an exclamation point on this madness. 6/6 newrepublic.com/article/2105...

Bennet is correct. So refreshing to see a Democrat intend consequences for another Democrat who screws up that badly.

U.S. conservatives are going to attack same-sex marriage (I mean legislatively – they never accepted it culturally). And so on...

This seems like something Republicans over here are totally missing as well. They're dismantling wide swaths of support for higher ed. How is that going to make us a competitive economy?!?

Amazing: Russia’s GDP contracted 1.8% by the start of 2026. According to Sweden’s intelligence, Russia is “living on borrowed time,” stuck in a zero-multiplier model – it churns out weapons that go up in smoke, stimulating no additional spending & feeding no supply chains except that of war crimes.

Because the thought is always the same: Educated people tend to shift left (often just a little, sometimes more, but enough to wreck GOP chances in some elex.). Intolerable to them. So they've had it out for land grant/public universities for decades. Now also attacking even their own alma maters!

Our close cousins across the pond have foisted the same bogus deal on the average citizen as us in the U.S. There's no good reason for taxing returns on shares lower – it's all premised on arguments made by the rich FOR the rich. Time for more tax!

Took the mid-length quiz. Matched my self-selected Social Democrat (no surprise, my mom was a Swede!). I chart almost the same as AOC.

I remember when Republicans made three cases in or proximate to the U.S. a cataclysmic disaster for Obama & America. Democrats need to draw a real, direct line from this to RFK & Trump!!!

More failure: Pres. Trump departed Beijing with almost nothing concrete to show for his summit with President Xi of China. After months of buildup and a delay necessitated by Trump’s difficulty in extricating the United States from the war with Iran, the summit ended with no major public progress

Extremely curious thrift store pairing. Woking, Surrey.

I know the High Five was invented in 1977, but it seems like there's an antecedent in London. (Bush House, former BBC HQ.)

A lot of folks in my mentions are really convinced that this is a majority-fascist country. It's not. It's a center-left country with a deeply flawed constitution and a very serious billionaire problem.

I don't vote in CO, but spend a fair amount of time there. And I agree with this!

Corruption is one of the top problems the next Dem admin will have to solve. Not just to prevent more, but to jail everyone involved with this horrible shit, and recover as much of our public money as possible.

They're shafting American universities to pay for Trump's $10 billion theft (er, um, "lawsuit settlement") from the IRS, and his $1 billion dollar ballroom. The country is being stripped for parts, and the ash all rolls to a handful of Republicans.

We need moral accountability in our politicians, not just procedural accountability

there is simply no coming back from this. to be a republican is to be an opponent of pluralism as intended by the amended constitution. republicans are literally enemies of the state

i have spent my entire life being the bigger person. they used that time to call me a pedophile while they usurped the courts to violate the constitution and recreate jim crow by fiat

“Democrats have got to stop showing up to a knife fight with a spork.” Beth Macy, candidate for Congress from Virginia, commenting on the sudden VA Supreme Court strike down of redistricting.

I don't know how the hell Hillsdale College decided to text me, but I have thoughts.
