There is no reason to be concerned about this. History gives us precisely no examples of would-be authoritarians using fake emergencies as cover for seizing absolute power. My suggestion would be for all Americans and especially all politicians in Washington to continue doing whatever they're doing.

Trump's Reflecting Pool fiasco is directly linked to his ballroom, the arch, and his bottomless corruption, says @mjtoma.bsky.social. It's all about erasing republican governance and replacing it w/the imperial court of a "czar." On the pod Mike is great on all this: newrepublic.com/article/2121...

Trump blames green Reflecting Pool on vandals anntelnaes.substack.com/p/trump-blam...

Actually, the order explicitly says CITIZENS. States are actively removing CITIZENS from the voting rolls. Illegally. To steal an election. Someone explain to me why anyone would trust the result of an election we are watching Donald Trump steal in real time. Not in the dark, but in the day.

Issue an arrest warrant for this creep today—NOW! Who wants to break the news to SCOTUS that stock market manipulation falls outside the realm of official presidential duties?

let's go #COD! #worldCup

Heads up to the moms whose SNAP benefits just got cut

An hour late. Declaring himself “the boss.” Standing awkwardly alone while world leaders huddled and laughed. Trump’s trip to the G7 wasn’t a display of strength—it was the global equivalent of a diplomatic trainwreck. America's reputation deserves so much better #SheShed #ForeignPolicy

Wow. Iran gets sanctions relief, the release of frozen funds, the ability to export oil, and a $300 billion reconstruction fund. The U.S. gets a reiteration of the vague promise Iran won’t develop a nuke. Hard to imagine a more thorough capitulation.

He's been saying this thing about how easy it is to walk over the Qatar-Iran border for many months now. Clearly no one around him is brave enough to correct him. That's pretty terrifying.

Proof that you need a good, cohesive team... Having a few stars won't do much. #España #caboVerde #fifa

“I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of Strait of Hormuz.” 🤡

Full on christofascist administration. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/u...

Trump just gave is all permission to piss on his grave, celebrate in the streets when he finally goes to hell. What a deranged disgraceful fuck Trump is! And they think he's god sent? Call him a "christian." WWJD?

everyone looking at this administration and dying inside while laughing.

Hunter Biden was mercilessly criticised for earning 60k being on a board that got zero government contracts. Donald Trump Jr. has made $50 million, largely due to major profits from his father's position & direct contracts from the gov, but the #GOP is silent www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

C+C Music Factory were never part of this mess either.

I really think there’s something to this. Being openly, brazenly corrupt has probably worked in Trump’s favor with some media & voters because they assume something truly scandalous has to be exposed, not broadcast.

Weekends are a time to devote to making statements to mislead commodities and stock markets in advance of their Monday openings. Not for weddings. C'mon, Aaron. You know better.

Why this GOP Congress sucks...

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

NEW: U.S. citizen Leonardo Garcia Venegas appeared before Congress after he was held twice by immigration agents. Even though his story went viral, and top immigration officials have claimed citizens are not being arrested, he was detained a third time.

My grandma used to tell me she was “just resting her eyes,” but I knew she had dozed off. The difference, she wasn’t the President of the United States in the middle of a televised meeting.

Oh hell yeah. Let's light this candle. gizmodo.com/imminent-sam...

Oh, I'm sure things will go better for Target in June--the month of Pride, Juneteenth, and Black Music Month. Right?

is there any one fuckin person in this administration even remotely competent jesus fuckin christ

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

No economic agenda is complete without a plan to fix the courts. The same broken courts dismantling multiracial democracy are also a major structural obstacle to reining in corporate power and delivering economic relief for working Americans. trib.al/i0fB2KL

Most people will blame John Roberts, Samuel Alito or even Donald Trump for SCOTUS eviscerating the Voting Rights Act and ushering in a modern Jim Crow era But it was Mitch McConnell and his MAGA Senate traitors who stole two Supreme Court seats Were his actions based on racism We may never know

We are seeing the consequences of Trump's war on public health.

Good morning! Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates— 💰His net worth is up $1.9 billion, to $6.2 billion 💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million 💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million 💰20-year-old Barron is worth $150 million And Jared became a billionaire last year. Have a great day!

At every opportunity, every decision point, they make the most panicked and insecure choices.

By whom. You said JD wasn't allowed to make the trip

dudes rock

First quarter 2026 sales of the Silverado EV in the U.S. were 1,406 units. For Hummer (both truck and SUV combined), it was 1,653. For the Escalade EV: 1,432. You cannot sustain billions of dollars of investments in a car platform that's selling fewer than 20,000 total units a year. 13/x

you would think we should've learned ANY lessons from EVs getting killed by the lobby over a quarter of a century ago. REMEMBER THAT??? I certainly do. #ev1
