I hope I’m wrong, but, no surprise if that is used to create his own private, violent militia to come to his defense if he refuses to leave office.

I still think Trump is our first atheist president (unless you think worshipping himself counts as a god). He is just conning the xtians for money and votes, and doesn't believe any of it.

China switched on the world’s largest open-sea offshore solar farm in late 2025. 2.3M panels. 2,934 steel platforms. Built offshore to survive force-11 gales & sea ice. Powers ~2.67M people. And yes… they’re farming fish underneath it too. Solar above. Food below. Fossils below both.

Every bit of this is from the Old Testament and not even from any of the Prophets. This is not a message from or to any kind of Christian belief. This is a nationalist Christianist rally but not a Christian rally.

Heartbreaking and true.

Ok. I'm ready. 🤣🐈‍⬛ #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

anytime i hear about how dems didn't actually have enough votes during obama's start bc of blue dogs, i just go "okay, let's take that as a given. what was the party's plan to, over time, get those votes or replace those guys?" and it was "nothing" or "we actually will support these guys forever"

The people who sided with Democrats to force Trump DOJ’s Pedo Protection Racket to start releasing the files get the most vicious treatment from Trump. I wonder why?

Nothing says “I understand working people and their current struggles” like defending Trump’s gilded ballroom project and his disaster treatment on the reflecting pool. All at taxpayer expense. Read the damn room, Fetterman

President Trump was months late in disclosing tens of millions of dollars in stock trading, according to his latest investment filings, pushing the legal limits of a financial practice Americans have largely opposed from their elected officials.

Today, we live in an ugly alternate universe and the only way to get back to the good one is to VOTE!

Every time Trump uses public dollars to save face with more military attacks our weapons stockpile is reduced even more. At what point will China and Russia figure that we can't respond?

Comey: “The president of the United States cannot use the Justice Department to target people because he wants to retaliate against them. We just can’t operate as a republic if that happens.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Instead of trying to earn more votes, Republican officials across the South are executing a systematic effort to dismantle Black political representation in Congress through gerrymandering. It's time for broad reforms to end this kind of gerrymandering for good.

best trend of 2026. boo all these fuckers.

Wait. So banning abortion didn't decrease abortions and it only made them more deadly? WEIRD.

The people who say, “Food is expensive, just garden” have perhaps not been to a garden store.

I admit I cannot get my head around the idea that "atheist/Jewish/other highly-educated white and Asian voters" would just say "screw it, give the seat to the GOP because Talarico isn't a superprogressive and said 'Jesus' too many times."

Charlie Angus on impact of Canadian boycott of US travel: "Many tourist locations are talking about drops of 50% ... There's areas where the losses have been as high as 80%. We're not bragging as Canadians. We're doing something to defend our sovereignty and put the pressure on MAGA."

Everything gets less creative and dull under any kind of fascist slide in a country. There is no room for the things that make regular people's lives happier.

I have been lectured to my entire life that the greatest sin in politics is to look down on these cosmically ignorant fuckwits, or to hold them accountable for their decisions. We're just supposed to flatter their Illusions and dutifully repair all the shit they destroy.

The panic and rush is because Trump wants to stay in power no matter what the Congress or even the voters have to say about it. He's running out of time.

Folks, our deep and people-centered, truly nonpartisan journalism is rare in Mississippi—and it takes resources. With your help we can do even more. Please give at MFP.ms/donate now if you can. And ask others to. 💜🥂

I hate "raising awareness" as a communications strategy because most campaigns stop at that. You have to include action. So now that I know, what do you need me to do and what are you doing? If you stop at "hey this is a problem", that's pointless.

🤔 I am turning 68 years of age this September, and In all my years of life, I have never seen corruption at this level that entire Republican party has shown from the President down, and the corruption just keeps getting worse. Our country can't take much more of this❗🤔

Every once in a while he tells the truth.

This is an excellent explanation of just how ridiculous the Trump admin’s attempt to argue with Pope Leo about Just War theory really was. mallickspeaks.com/the-man-who-...

the critical insight on display is that elections are won NOT by persuading voters to cross the aisle but by making voters on your side excited to vote & making the other side's voters discouraged enough to stay home

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

I’d argue that this was the week we learned of the biggest Trump corruption scandal of all.

"I don’t know who tells the police how to do what they do" says Edmond’s Ward 4 City Council member Phil Fraim, confirming that the city is not reviewing the police response to May 3rd's mass shooting. Read the full story now:
