Both of these pictures below are AI, and the people in them are also AI. Are there people this dumb? Yes. But these aren't those people.

A $200 fine on tens of millions of dollars of stock trades. Wow, I bet he won’t do that again.

“.. This is an insane amount of trades,” he said, adding that it looks more like something done by “a hedge fund with massive algo trades” that buys and shorts securities than a personal account. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Melania Trump infesting the White House with bees is the funniest thing no one's talking about right now #Bees #WhiteHouse

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

An insane level of corruption—even for Trump. A $1.7 BILLION slush fund for Trump’s hand-picked stooges to hand money to January 6th insurrectionists and his political allies. Here’s the President’s priority as Americans sell their plasma to afford gas and groceries:

We have 2 hours to speak out against Republicans’ push for a special legislative session to redraw congressional maps in the middle of an election year. Flood the phones and let Governor McMaster know South Carolinians won’t stay silent. #scpol #scdems

They can. That's probably why a month ago, the US gov. ordered Planet Labs and Vantor to withhold access to the satellite images that the media, NGOs and UN agencies also use to identify targets.

NEW: The Supreme Court has frequently admonished lower courts for intervening too close to elections but is now facing accusations that it is doing exactly that in a way that helps Republicans draw new districts at breakneck speed: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

There's a backlog of $300m in deferred repairs needed for Olympic National Park ALONE. But the Trump admin is ignoring those projects in order to paint the reflecting pool. This isn't a maintenance issue. It's just another one of Trump's vanity projects.

Secret Service right now:

Look, he's not even pretending at this point. He DOES NOT CARE if you can't afford anything or get by because of his war. And this war wasn't even about the threat of Iran having nuclear weapons because there was NO imminent threat.

Let this radicalize you

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

here's a version made the old fashioned way (instead of AI):

The Trump administration is now openly stealing from Europe. They are taking in funds through PURL, supposedly to provide arms for Ukraine, but refusing to deliver the weapons. www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...

Clyburn: "I think Justice Roberts is gonna take his place alongside some other justices, like Taney who gave us the Dred Scott decision"

2 posts in one day? That’s insane. But, the truth is out there (in the Epstein files)

Not an Evangelical but pretty sure you burn in Hell for being an infamous draft-dodger and notorious coward who posts AI images of yourself on the front lines of a war you started to enrich yourself and your friends without any interest in how many kids or American soldiers it kills

The Ministry of Propaganda 🤥 🔊

They put one of yours in the hospital, you put out a statement about how disappointed you are. That’s the centrist way.

Need an actual artist (not AI) to mock up the National Lampoon's Vacation poster, but it's Sean Duffy instead of Chevy Chase and it's nothing but airport crashes and lines for $8 gas in the background. (Actual artist. If you put an AI version in my mentions, I'll block you.)

So yesterday, the president's allies unveiled a 22-foot-tall golden statue of him that they prayed around, and then the president confused Iran and Iraq, seemed clueless about his FDA commissioner getting fired, and called a reporter a bitch? Cool. Cool cool cool.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

Should be us. This is the price of the corrupt Trump administration decision to cede this entire industry to the Chinese, just for added gasoline sales for his big fossil fuel donors. Corruption has a cost. American industries will pay.

Trump says we should be fine. So, time to stock up on masks, Purell, and toilet paper, I guess.

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

Not long ago, reauthorizations of the Voting Rights Act were bipartisan votes that Democratic and Republican presidents alike signed without controversy.

God damn it I just want a normal search

Back to the future — 1984 to 2026.

Someone is insider trading on crude oil shorts using Iran War announcements from the White House…and making a LOT of money. You better bet we’ll be investigating ⬇️

Political actors? Would political actors have wives who supported the insurrection? Would they hang out with rich political donors? Would they go on Megyn Kelly's show? Oh wait

This is the 82-year-old state senator the FBI just raided because she successfully redistricted Virginia to match racist Republican redistricting efforts. They targeted her because she's ruthless and effective. They don't want anyone else to play within their new rules.

🚨BREAKING: The Supreme Court Monday fast-tracked its decision in Louisiana v. Callais — a move that clears the way for Louisiana to move forward with redrawing its congressional map even as an election is already underway. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Having used the shadow docket to halt maps favorable to minority voters because elections were approaching, it would be indefensible for the Court to refuse to apply the same standard now—when voting has already begun in Louisiana and is days away in Alabama. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...
