Rising prices are making people rethink retirement. Trump’s working on it by covering up what his billionaire donor and DOGE did to Social Security.

Mabuto in the Congo.

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social do you remember that Trump actually ran a birth tourism thing out of his hotel for Russian pregnant women so that they could have their children be American citizens?

Zohran Mamdani and AOC aren’t the main reasons democratic socialists are getting elected. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are the main reasons democratic socialists are getting elected. Eventually, people start to realize who’s keeping them poor.

“.. Since the end of the Great Recession in 2009, only the top 0.1% of U.S. households have seen their wealth increase--from about $5.8 trillion to $25.1 trillion in the first quarter of 2026.” - Schwab

When I see "I didn't vote for this" from the anti anti crowd:

Musk is set to become a trillionaire today. 👀 Location near Tesla’s flagship London store, UK. 🎥 @everyonehateselon.bsky.social

I will repeat. The first reporter to yell at Trump "Answer the FUCKING QUESTION, asshole!" Will become an American hero. An icon.

Men are too emotional to be president.

The best way to honor fallen soldiers is to avoid careless reasons to create more of them.

Our government telling an adversary to disregard the President's social media posts because they're not real and are intended for promotional purposes and US media consumption, says it all. Holy fuck.

China has developed a battery that is based on sea salt. Not lithium. It is now being used in Chinese vehicles. It’s more efficient, can hold 90% of its charge at -40c, provides a range of 500 kms, cheap to manufacture, and better for the environment. The US is being left in the dust.

Maybe we will get Some Answers…

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Any questions about why the GOP is desperately trying to cheat before the midterms?

TONE DEAF & A SLAP IN THE FACE Most Americans can barely afford to fill up their gas tank right now, and somehow, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy thought this was the perfect time to launch a whole-ass reality show about taking his own family on a road trip across America.

Dominion and Smartmatic may have a new lawsuit to file

Iran is at it again. This time they added the Tesla logo. 😂

Elected a Republican, ruin the economy. People get mad. Elect a Democrat to clean up his mess. While he does, Republicans blame him for not cleaning it up fast enough. Economy gets better, but people are mad that it didn't get better faster. Elect a Republican, ruin the economy. Repeat.

My home's solar panels offset nearly 1,000% of its energy usage today. Imagine what a dedicated, nationwide effort to develop solar power could do for people. The US could be focusing on that instead of AI. But then I guess a bunch of filthy rich assholes couldn't become even richer.

Which is the backwards country now, United States?

More from 7 years ago....... now he speaks to Putin daily and never ever records anything for the records. Melania said she speaks with Putin very often too under the guise of trying to get stolen Ukrainian children home....that flag does not fly, not one bit.

Absolutely! Two can play at this game.

Trump, after having a 90 min phone call with Putin, puts out a truth social that he is considering withdrawing all troops from Germany. Something sinister is going on between them. It’s time for “concerned” Republicans to speak out x.com/i/status/204...

Average U.S. gas prices per gallon on April 30, per AAA: • Regular: $4.30 (⬆️ $1.32 since war in Iran began on Feb. 28) • Premium: $5.16 (⬆️ $1.30 since war began) • Diesel: $5.50 (⬆️ $1.74 since war began)

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

BREAKING: Two Democratic Reps. are introducing a bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $25/hr and eliminate subminimum wages. Reps. Delia Ramirez and Analilia Mejia are introducing the bill, saying it's unacceptable that the minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 since 2009.

KIMMEL: “You know how sometimes you wake up and the First Lady demands you be fired? We’ve all been there, right? — I agree hateful, violent rhetoric is something we should reject… a great place to start to dial that back would be to talk to your husband.”

AOC represents EVERY WOMAN in America right now who is sick and tired of misogyny & misinformation. She represents us and the rage we feel.

If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for? The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

BOYLE: The CBO says the big beautiful bill eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans. Are they really all, according to you, illegals and defrauding the system. That's really your position? RUSS VOUGHT: Yes BOYLE: That's laughable!

Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either: a. Incompetent b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't c. a & b

If Melania *really* thought people were lying about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, she would have sued them for defamation to clear her name under oath, not deliver a lame speech full of lies for television.”

Pet your dogs, everyone, and appreciate that they have no idea what is happening in this fucked up world.

We could be looking at one of the worst humanitarian crises in history tonight.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

After Trump's unhinged post saying "Open the Fuckin' Strait" and mocking Iran with "Praise be to Allah," I repeat what I've said for many months in my Stop the Presses newsletter: The media betray their duty by not loudly declaring that the president of the United States is out of his mind.

I think what I am bemused about is how quickly the regime she served is utterly dismantling her with blackmail they had all the time. Now do Trump.

If USPS is about to go broke, why are they wasting money on TV ads? Oh, wait. I forgot the goal of Project 2025 is to bankrupt it and privatize it or sell it for parts.

“That just doesn’t make sense to me — when the richest people have the smallest effective tax rate, that does not seem like a very fair system.” #LiftTheCap

In case anyone forgot how incoherent this administration’s policies are… we just removed sanctions on a nation we’re actively at war with. Oh well, at least the cowards in the GOP will have to spend the weekend trying to explain how this won’t fund the war for Iran (it will).

GOP: the mail is secure enough to receive your photo ID, social security card, your debit and credit cards, your stimulus checks, and your tax returns Also GOP: the mail is not safe enough for voting

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

I cannot stress enough how big this is. All 3 GOP-appointed Georgia State Supreme Court Justices now have challengers in the MAY 19TH non-partisan general election: Jen Jordan Nikia Sellers Miracle Rankin This is a once-in-a-decade chance to flip *1/3* of the court. All hands on deck, folks.

Today is the four year anniversary of the barbaric full scale invasion against the peaceful people of Ukraine. Peaceful, until roused to defend themselves…. Slava Ukrainii

#ResistanceEarth The oil industry's preferred method of disposing of toxic wastewater is to inject it deep underground. A trove of new documents expose that the industry has known for decades that this isn't safe, putting drinking water and other resources at risk. www.desmog.com/2026/02/12/t...

More chatter about tomorrow’s revisions. 👀

"we left with all of my children" is an insane thing to say in this context. are you suggesting that you might have considered leaving one of your daughters on the Epstein Island??????
