Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

Stephen Colbert closed out the final episode of The Late Show with an emotional performance of “Hello, Goodbye” alongside Paul McCartney. Paul McCartney symbolically switched off the studio lights one last time to the Ed Sullivan Theater. 🥹🥺

Headed for a much anticipated trip overseas for a month and much needed break from politics. Visiting Denmark and Greece. I'll offer apologies to the Danes and drink ouzo with the Greeks and slam a plate or 2 down and say F' it. Hopefully I'll have a few good pics to post along the journey.

He raped a woman in a department store and, if the complete Epstein files are ever released, may have done the same to minors. Now he's raping the American taxpayer.

Eligible to be paid with your money after storming the Capitol and breaking into Nancy Pelosi’s office.

🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

What some fail to grasp is that billionaires went from lobbying for their industries to bribing Trump directly for their wish lists. Every billionaire alongside Trump is telling you that rules, regulations & laws don’t apply to them anymore. If you happen to get crushed by their greed, so be it.

🔥 Massie going hard at Ted Cruz

MeidasTouch: What do you make of this $1.776 billion fund— Gavin Newsom: It’s a criminal enterprise. It’s not just corruption, it’s not just graft, it’s a full-on criminal enterprise and it needs to be shut down.

MacFarlane: I'm filling a notebook with misinformation spreading about January 6th today. The idea that these cases were wrongful, no case was overturned, not a one on appeal. And lots of people appealed. They had a 100% success rate for juries at trial.

I call them traitors.

Bezos on CNBC: "You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens. I promise you."

The fact that Thomas Massie lost a Republican primary because he wants pedophiles to face justice tells you everything you need to know about the state of the Republican party… Full stop.

Very rich people getting booed during commencement speeches is my new favorite genre of entertainment.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Thomas Massie: “Today is the six month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture, that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.” video courtesy @acyn.bsky.social

Q: Trump's financial disclosures show a lot of stock trades in companies he has promoted-- JD VANCE: This is a hell of a question Q: How can you argue you are cleaning up corruption when the president is doing this? VANCE: C'mon man. Have a little bit of objectivity in how you ask these questions

In case you need any more motivation to hold the most corrupt "president" in U.S. history accountable. #Register&VOTE 🌊

All that groveling for nothing

WOW — the NAACP joins the call for Black athletes to boycott schools in the South over racist Republican erasure of Black representation. “What these states have done is not a policy disagreement. It is a sprint to erase Black political power.” naacp.org/articles/naa...

Who thinks the GOP is plotting their next insurrection?

Because of course he did. It’s all about intimidation for the next ruling.

😕

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

Pretext for the next war, same as pretexts for the last wars. Some old story, same old song and dance.

When a federal agency tasked with protecting all Americans decides to mandate a specific religious worldview, it ceases to protect democracy and begins to threaten it.
