Welcome to an “I totally planned that!” edition of the MAGA Minute! Today Trump announces that the only reason unemployment is high is because people are out of work. Thanks, Don. #RadioFreeAmerica

So very true...there'a always someone to take the fall.

In Moscow, they call her “our girl Tulsi” for a reason.

How it started vs. How it’s going NOW 👀 LA tow truck driver who towed ICE’s car found NOT GUILTY 🦸🏽‍♂️

Instead, he tricked liberal media outlets into broadcasting his accomplishments over the past year. Lots of people were watching tonight. An absolute master class.

open.substack.com/pub/wonkette... I like Governor Newsom's initiative: Don't get mad and gnash your teeth and pull out your hair, do something about their insane policies. Cal. has the right idea, hopefully more states will follow. #HHSBrainWorm #MAGAMorons #TraitorTrump #BlueCrew #Resisters

Accurate

January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

thanks for this excellent thread, seth!

LEFT: Heartfelt condolences on Rob Reiner's death from a kind, stable person who should have been president. RIGHT: Obscene gloating over Rob Reiner's death from a delusional sociopath who never should have been president.

Donald Trump is a deplorable piece of shit.

There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing. www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...

The N Carolina immigrant rights group Siembra is teaching business owners their rights if federal agents show up at their door. While most can name their first and second amendment rights, far fewer are familiar with the fourth, which prohibits unreasonable government searches and seizures.

Jeez. All tourists - including those from Britain - will have to undergo a social media screening before being allowed entry into the US under new plans being considered by the country's border force news.sky.com/story/us-pla...

The White House surrenders at 138 million views. Sabrina wins.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes? That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Ilhan Omar: “His obsession with me is creepy, I'm not going anywhere — I'll be here longer than #Trump - He’s an old man losing his mind. I hope he gets the help he desperately needs—”

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

“At a conference in Algiers, diplomats and leaders convened to advance an African Union resolution passed at a meeting earlier this year calling for justice and reparations for victims of colonialism.” Colonialism still shapes our present. Colonial states need to make reparations for their harms.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think: In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels. In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

#GVerse Jasmine Crockett @crockett.house.gov announces via @cwebbonline.com she will most likely be running for U.S. Senate in Texas in 2026‼️ Will YOU support her? YES or NO

Today is World AIDS day, and the current US govt refuses to acknowledge it, for the first time since 1988. Here’s a memory I’d like to share, to show how in even the worst of times, people came together to support each other. May the memory of those we lost continue to be a blessing.

“I’m back bitches …”

Mark Kelly: "My concern is with the service members -- we're gonna put these individuals in a really tough place. They may find our down the road that they did something that's illegal. It's not fair to them. That's why need presidents and secretaries of defense who understand the Constitution"

We’re the only country that lets the gun lobby write the laws and then pretends to be shocked when children end up in coffins. NEW UPDATE: The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office has announced that four of the victims shot in the Stockton mass shooting were ages 8, 9, 14, and 21.

I didn't think that was possible but here we are...

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. He has brought the office down so low in such a short time. Other presidents have tried but none have come close to this.

Mark Kelly: “Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. He’s unqualified for this job. I think he is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in the history of our country by far. & this President thinks he can bully & intimidate people? He’s not gonna stop me from speaking out & holding him accountable”

SOON …

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans. Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

Amazon workers go on strike world-wide. “From Germany to Bangladesh, thousands of workers walked off the job on Friday and marched against Amazon’s labor practices to push for better wages, working conditions, and union protections." www.commondreams.org/news/make-am...

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way to get rid of Citizens United. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files. So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:
