he is proud to have achieved his career long agenda -- ending the voting rights act while pretending it is about fairness and being smug and sanctimonious.

so simple that even a billionaire can understand it

We can put a common man on the moon. We still cannot put a rich man behind bars.

Trump Posts Graphic Video of Woman Being Killed With Hammer In Florida #Newsweek

Dear Uber Drivers: I shouldn’t have to tell you guys this, but asking girls out on dates while in possession of their home addresses and also their lives as you drive 70mph through highway traffic is not an appropriate thing to do. Sincerely, Women

UNAPOLOGETIC RANT This is bullshit. Senate Republicans are trying to quietly slip ANOTHER $1 BILLION into a funding package masquerading as “security” for Trump’s ballroom. Taxpayers shouldn’t get stuck with the bill. 1/2

Yess!!!! Big win for Michigan Democrats tonight. They retain control of the Senate as Chedrick Greene takes SD35's special election by nearly 20 points. Kamala Harris won this district by just 0.8% in 2024. The prior incumbent, Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet (D) took the seat by ~7% in 2022.

I'm inclined to a harsher view, but not so much for parsing blame in hindsight. It's about what lessons have we learned and how are we going to do better next time, which isn't that far off. Which mostly amounts to: we must go much harder on accountability and much bigger on reconstruction reforms.

Whether Biden (and Garland is just a subset of Biden) should have known better isn't really the point in and of itself. It's that because we can see how they failed, now we *do* know better and that's extremely relevant for what we do next.

200 year old wisteria, Japan, photographer unknown

Nah the point is as usual the double standard

A drug that my husband had to pay $400 for a tiny bottle of(above insurance) for is 13 Euros for a friend in Paris. It is a necessity to keep him from going blind -- last ditch drug.

A mind is a terrible thing not to have.

📽️VIDEO: SCOTUS is exposing a double standard: the same court that previously told Black voters it was too late to fix an unconstitutional map is now moving fast for white plaintiffs in Louisiana, even as ballots are being cast. @marcelias.bsky.social and @joycewhitevance.bsky.social break it down👇

do only Republicans are allowed to be shallow racist dipshits?

In the first few weeks, we knew this is where things would end up. The strategic goal is just getting things back to where they were on February 27, 2026. So in retrospect, it’s clear this was a strategic blunder of massive proportions

82 and couldn't agree more. Our generation has broken the country; time to get out of the way. Old Republicans broke it; old Democrats just stood there and let it happen. Dick Durbin, was Chair of judiciary and couldn't think of any way to hold the most corrupt court in history accountable.

I’m going to keep posting this

it is okay to grab someone on the street and throw them in an unmarked van and beat them up because they are black or brown but making sure they have representation -- oh we are just so very colorblind. A deeply. white supremacist Opus Dei Supreme Court. The shame of America.

we can afford this moronic shizz but not to fund cancer research, or day care, or better health care

If this was a school shooting the media, Republicans and the White House would've moved on already.

When fascists call for unity, it means "you quit fighting back." Always. Every time.

does anyone think Franklin Graham. believes in God?

I know normalization is just what we've decided to do to cope but turning a botched assassination attempt on the president of the united states into a public debate on gilded playspace is FUCKING STUPID and I refuse to treat this bullshit pivot seriously or with respect.

Terrific take on the intellectually bankrupt use of "both sides" by the lazier members of the corporate media.

It started on a Kansas military base and was spread to Europe by US soldiers -- it swept the world including the US killing millions. Among those was my 25 year old grandmother who left my father motherless at age 3.

The flu epidemic that killed millions including my 'healthy' 25 year old grandmother began on an army base in Kansas and was spread by troops deploying to Europe in WWI. It swept the globe killing millions including thousands of US troops. Combat ready they were not.

when my husband was in the military being combat ready meant getting lots of vaccines during basic so that readiness would not be threatening by outbreaks of illness. Hegseth is an idiot.

they are protecting the right of musclebound jerks to beat up people they don't like

Cars run a lot faster than I do; machines can lift a lot more weight.

RFK Jr That genius scientist is trying to ban all MNRA vaccine research.

LOL.

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

Years ago my husband insisted 1 pm was plenty of time to leave from SB to Midway for our flight- jammed tollway, we went to ground, stop lights all the way-barely made the flight running and they closed the door the minute we bordered. He said 'see we made it'= NEVER again. Now we are like you.

Missouri's murder rate is 73% HIGHER than California’s. No amount of right-wing spinning can change reality: our state is investing in prevention, enforcement, and is holding criminals accountable. The U.S. Senator from Missouri should fix his own failed policies before lecturing us.

Trump - "I made Iran open the Strait so now NATO countries are calling me if i need help to coordinate. I told them i need no help" Spain - "That's a lie. We never called him to coordinate with US military at Strait of Hormuz or in fact, anywhere. He's still living in delusion." #cdnpoli

We can't have nice things in America like decent health care because this old fool is literally pouring money into the sea for no purpose -- alienating our allies, proving our weakness to the world.

Over on Xitter people who claim to know Kash well INSIST they've never seen him drink (at all, on or off the clock), which is nutty bc this was treated as a business trip. www.youtube.com/shorts/NmR5Q...

I like the explanation that the White House staff tried to do damage control by called the image “doctored” and Trump thought they meant it depicted him as a “doctor”

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

I prefer for journalism to judge Peter Thiel.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Trump has been telling comedians they’re not funny (Colbert/Kimmel), singers they’re no good (Swift/Springsteen) actors they can’t act (De Nero/Streep) or sports legends (LeBron) is one thing, but telling the Pope he’s not a good Catholic is jumping the shark

Where the hell is Eileen O'Neill Burke, the DA for Chicago? No crimes committed during Midway Blitz? Or a closet Trump Toad?

Who among us has not mistaken the holy words of Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction for biblical scripture?

The hilarious thing of course is that a 70 year old grandmother has to work a job like this because US health care is inadequate and her spouse has cancer and she needs to raise money to pay for treatment.

Hegseth blocked promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four military branches. None had open investigations against them. None had been accused of misconduct. They simply weren't the right profile.

"Goddamn it, Leo! You haven't made an arrest in months! I've had enough. Put your staff and mitre on my desk and get the hell out of here."
