Pam Bondi is an utterly shameless hack.

Yet another Trumpian attempt at retribution that failed to attain the level of a ham sandwich.

I agree with those paying tribute to Bad Bunny for reminding us who/what America is. Plurality is good. Diversity is our legacy. Inclusion is essential. The messaging was so positively and refreshingly presented. It "trumped" fake nationalist mythology to remind us of the reality we need to reclaim.

The officials in these ICE hearings are less cartoonish than Patel or Hegseth, less defiant than Bondi, and less - inhuman? - than Noem, yet just as evasive and useless. They sound like Maxwell did yesterday. Swalwell was strong in his questioning. We need MAJOR changes before Friday's deadline.

Ignorant loudmouth and recalcitrant putz Peter Navarro told Fox News that "people need to revise job expectations down significantly" due to deportations, thus admitting they're deporting working people. Oh, we do --- do we? The jobs report is due out tomorrow. Navarro knows the numbers will suck.

Noem needs to be impeached. Lutnick needs to resign. The Gabbard whistleblower complaint needs to be disclosed. Maxwell needs to be returned to her prior facility. Bezos needs to sell the WaPo and then take his money and his plasticene wife and disappear. And someone should start naming names.

When American athletes in the Olympics make statements critical of Trump, his agenda, and how it's damaging America - and then they get vilified as UnAmerican with nastiness, rage and froth by those who support Trump and his agenda - in my mind, it pretty much legitimizes their criticism.

Happy birthday, Copper! He's 8. A good boy. Major treats later. We adopted each other 1 year ago today. Beagles and Buddies rescue spoke to resource guarding, separation anxiety. I understood him before I met him. Pictured: When we agreed to go home together last Feb; Copper on couch, moments ago.

I don't want to claim definitively that Jeff Bezos is intentionally dismantling and destroying a storied institution which has served America and its citizenry, but he could have sold it, taken on a partner, or simply put in more $ out of his $235B net worth, so -- what the f*ck else should I think?

REPEATING: Dems really need to begin more forcefully presenting a narrative that Trump is erratic and unstable and no longer able to carry out the duties of the presidency and therefore must be removed from office. Because HE IS and HE SHOULD. A few Dems need to go first, then build to a chorus.

JUST IN: Russia's former Deputy Justice Minister Sergey Tropin is no more. He has expired. Having accidentally drowned in the bathtub of his Moscow apartment, he has ceased to be. He is bereft of life. He has gone to meet his maker. He is ... an Ex-Deputy Justice Minister.

Before you guys start your weekends, please know that JD Vance got soundly booed at the Olympics opening ceremony. American athletes were cheered. When the Jumbotron panned to Vance, the cheers became jeers, and worse. Enjoy the weekend.

REPEATING: Dems really need to begin more forcefully presenting a narrative that Trump is erratic and unstable and no longer able to carry out the duties of the presidency and therefore must be removed from office. It's time. This needs to get into the public narrative articulately emphatically now.

Karoline Leavitt has a fragile self, defensive demeanor, and tries to put forth a defiant tone for her audience of One. It's destroying her inside. She is uncomfortable in a crazily crafted persona. She lashes out publicly. Who knows what privately. She'll regret it when she's miserable with ulcers.

Dems need to begin more forcefully presenting a narrative that Trump is no longer able to carry out the duties of the presidency and, therefore, must be removed from office. It's time.

Name them shame them

After latest release country should move on to Epstein trials.

No one should be opposed to this.

(1/2) When MAGA gets triggered by Newsom, they try to paint California as waning. In fact, it's now the 5th largest economy in the world AS A COUNTRY. Millions of dentally challenged Americans in Red States benefit from California's massive $ contributions to the federal treasury.

Trump spoke today at a prayer breakfast. He was exceptionally discombobulated. Rambled. Forgot names. Hyperbolized God. "Faith is big now. Gotta have God." It's important for us to remember - besides being a narcissist, sociopath, grifter, rapist, traitor, and serial criminal, he's also an idiot.

If it looks like a goat f*cker, walks like a goat f*cker, and bleats like a goat f*cker ...

It's amazing how so many billionaires, with WAY more money than they could EVER need in 50 lifetimes, REALLY and TRULY want to avoid paying relatively small tax money to gov't, to benefit common good like social safety for less fortunate countrymen residing in the society that made them billionaires

It's really come time for Bluesky to add to the character limitation on posts or at least create a basis for accounts to opt into an ability to make longer posts. I keep making longer posts on X that can't adequately be shrunk to fit Bluesky with nearly as much impact. Anybody else feel this way?

In a story that should be getting more coverage, Andrew Bakaj - the lawyer for the whistleblower whose complaint has rattled Trump 2.0, has told Gabbard that HE WILL GO DIRECTLY TO CONGRESS if she doesn't respond forthwith AND he added that he has Top Secret clearance to do so.

I'm watching Tom Homan speak and lost count how many times he said "criminal aliens." Like it's one word. Which I assume is the point.

The Founding Fathers always knew a king-like tyrant would one day try to rule as dictator and use powers of the presidency to live above the law. But they never foresaw a branch of government abdicating oath for grift and never foresaw algorithmic media producing a citizenry manipulated by deceit.

It's the first movie she's starred in fully clothed.

Karoline Leavitt said today that Trump believes in The Constitution. No, he doesn't. He has no beliefs. He is pure self. A smorgasbord of impulses and cravings - for wealth, power, adoration, grandiosity, vengeance. He's one giant id. A parasite. A pathological abomination.

This isn't really my area of - um - concentration but I'm curious - if a sitting president poops his pants within the oval office, shouldn't the feces be preserved pursuant to the Presidential Records Act of 1978?

One of the things that the most recent Epstein files release confirmed, is that Melania met Trump through Epstein. I think the Epstein Estate should demand that their client receive a Creative Consultant (or Extra Special Thanks) credit in the film Melania. Fair is fair.

The more corroded he gets, the healthier they claim he is. The more secretive he acts, the more they say he's transparent. The more he falls asleep in meetings, the more they call him energetic. The audience for this bullshit has dwindled. Nobody new buys it. Those moving on, are leaving for good.

Happy birthday to my mom. She was a wonderful person. She passed last year. I miss her. She would have been 89 today.

By the way, it's worth noting that Dems didn't only win a state seat in a deeply red Texas district yesterday that went for Trump in 2024 by 17 points, and they didn't just win it despite being outspent by $2,000,000, but ... THEY WON IT BY 14 POINTS!

The cabinet does the North-Korean style fealty of Trump for three reasons: They know he's their ticket to power; they know he gets wounded and needs narcissistic energy; and they know he is ill, medicated, declining, wears a girdle, and shits his pants - not a good optical or olfactory situation.

I got to chat with Aaron Rupar about his publication, his video clipping, and what it takes to document American politics in real time for the millions of people trying to keep up with the nonstop flood of news. One of the nicest guys in media. 👇🏼 @atrupar.com out5p0ken.substack.com/p/q-and-a-aa...

If Don Lemon really wants to get under Donald Trump’s skin, he should talk about today’s Epstein news. With his new mega microphone, that would land and have the complete opposite effect of Trump and his minions’ goal today.

Is there any member of the Trump administration who isn't a billionaire, sociopath, or someone who was friends with Jeffrey Epstein?

The first critic review of Melania on Rotten Tomatoes got 1 star. Excerpts from the review: "Superficial, willfully deceitful, unrelentingly boring, strengthens a perception of her as a chilly, lifeless socialite. Propaganda imagining the first monarch in U.S. history for a future non-democracy."

JUST IN: DOJ has reversed its position and announced they HAVE opened a civil rights investigation into the death of Alex Pretti. Good news is - this is a tribute to those who refused to look away. Bad news is - DOJ leaders are lying sacks of shit, serving the world's biggest lying sack of shit.

If I was an undocumented immigrant being sought who needed a place to safely hide out for the near term, I would seek one of the theaters showing Melania.

If a movie plays in a theater, and there's nobody there to hear it, will it make any sound?

One stupid false narrative that Trump puts forth out of insecurity and vanity is that protestors are "paid agitators." It cuts deeply to Trump's fragile ego any time there is a sizable crowd against him. Crowd size-related lies, and him getting booed, will be comedic fodder for many years to come.

They're flailing. They're overreaching. Their lies are unconvincing. They're infighting. The cracks are becoming fissures. I can smell the cognitive dissonance. Look for a new distraction soon.

Megyn Kelly, whose feeds deliver clickbait for the brainless in what has become a desperate search for renewed relevance, suggests that whistles, used to alert citizens of the presence of ICE, should be banned. She spends her time thinking of crap like this. Arguably the worst feed on social media.

MAGA influencers are confused, trying to process Bovino's demotion. The diminutive fascist was excised by Trump for political reasons. Trump didn't want the lilliputian sociopath to add more hurt to his polls. Yet influencers are supporting the hostile dwarf AND Trump. No wonder they're confused!

JUST IN: Greg Bovino is expected to leave Minneapolis and return to ... wherever they fly him to. NOTE: They always like to fly him places because it's free - since he fits into a carry-on bag.

Every single story about Good and Pretti has to continue to drill home on the post-shooting propaganda, the brazen insensitive constant falsehoods and politicization. The murders are unconscionable. The lies are manifestations of what divides us at the core. Push the lies. Trumpism IS lies.

I don't know about you, but I have a very hard time believing that this administration is going to allow our own US midterms to transpire in a free and fair manner.

Tim Walz - once again - is spot-on in his tone, content, and messaging. He's direct, articulate, informational, empathic - you can feel his genuineness and sincerity. He'd have been an excellent Vice President. Sigh.

Todd Blanche knows better. Todd Blanche sold his soul. Todd Blanche is an utter disgrace - as a jurist, as an American, and as a human being.
