EV sales *still* have not fallen, cooled, slowed or slumped. Media is lying to you.

"Because Trump and his fellow GOP 'leaders' have made their refusal to negotiate with Democrats a bizarre 'principle,' when — as seems increasingly certain — they’re forced to make a deal to reopen the government, Trump, the self-styled dictatorial strongman, will end up substantially diminished."

One last time: Every time I post it he goes up five more points.

Sounds like it’s the GOP that’s playing politics with people’s livelihoods. Hold the line, Dems.

Reagan's approach to the world prominently featured two things: 1) Russian aggression bad, Western democratic alliance good 2) Free trade good, tariffs and other barriers to trade bad Pretending it's the opposite is the sort of reality inversion only someone who rejects truth itself could buy.

Now that Trump has illegally bombed a seventh boat in the Caribbean, please note this: Rep Adam Smith, ranking Dem on Armed Services, tells me that *at no point* have officials given lawmakers even the most basic information about these extrajudicial murders: newrepublic.com/article/2019...

My federal worker friends already have no paychecks, lil’ buddy

You must read this account because it will make you understand how evil Ghislene Maxwell & how heinous it is for Trump to even consider pardoning this monster. Kudos to the late Virginia Giuffre for her bravery and battle to redeem her young and vulnerable self www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Please inform your military friends that by not swearing her in is treason.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them. If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

I’m old enough to remember when the idea of the government reaching out to social media companies to ask for moderation was a gigantic scandal

Here is our full story that Vance is dismissing, with primary source documents showing Trump cabinet members with multiple primary-residence mortgages www.propublica.org/article/trum... www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

The Trump administration wants us to believe that they are all-powerful forces who control everything and can be reined in by neither Congress nor the Supreme Court, but if anything goes wrong, it's Mastermind Chuck Schumer's fault.

JORDAN: Comey is where weaponization all started. 9 years ago he took the dossier-- BASH: But that's not what he's being prosecuted for JORDAN: I'm just saying, you want to talk about weaponization, that's where it started BASH: So this is retribution then

It’s pronounced cyclist.

“The Biden FBI” Who was President on January 6?

When this crap is over, we have to take the DOJ out of the executive branch and make the AG an elected position. We, voters, also need a no confidence ability for Congress, judges, and all cabinet heads because CORRUPTION.

Hey @Amazon, this is why I’m in the process of getting rid of my Echo shows. https://www.theverge.com/report/797672/amazon-echo-show-ads-alexa-plus

Of course he did, because they don't actually believe the anti-vaxx bullshit they peddle.

Blue Cross had refused to pay thousands of claims for the center’s patients, but on several occasions executives at the insurance company had signed special one-time deals with the center to pay for their wives’ cancer treatment. (Published April)

Take that, libs, health for me, death for thee.

The entire Trump administration is full of shit.

Just a reminder as it is clear most of the population doesn't understand this.

More bad news for Elon Musk

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit. This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2016...

This stuff is going to fracture the MAGA coalition even more.

WaPo is wrapping this all up in fancy language and downplaying how unqualified she is but she is a quack who quit her residency and has never actually practiced medicine. She isn’t just a departure from “traditional medical expertise” - she has no medical expertise whatsoever.

Can’t believe I have to say this, but in Minnesota you will continue to have the freedom to get your COVID and flu shots.
