Trump doesn’t get a sympathy bump from violent threats because he is a thoroughly and uniquely unsympathetic individual. He doesn’t care about anyone, it shows, so few care about him.

Not sure why anyone is doing road trips this weekend. These are not normal times. With travel costs looking like a hostage situation, it’s time for folks to get real creative with their staycations. At this point, “vacation” means grilling in your backyard and pretending it’s a resort. Just sayin.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

That's not the way this works. We need to expand the court once a Democrat is back in the White House.

Consumer sentiment is at an all-time low because folks are getting financially waterboarded every time they leave the damn house.

Watch a playful grey whale enjoying a soothing head scratch in this heartwarming moment. Stay tuned for the delightful end!

The White House and Congress have epitomized…. Political weaponization that refers to the use of government institutions, laws, investigations, public messaging, or state power in a way intended to damage, silence, punish, or weaken political opponents rather than serve a neutral public purpose.

Presidential assassination attempts that didn’t get close happened in the past too, but you heard about them less because previous presidents all thought strength was shrugging “you can’t phase me, nothing can,” while this president thinks strength is whining “I’m such a victim, soothe my feelings.”

Seventeen years without raising the federal minimum wage is unacceptable. Working people deserve a real living wage, protection from wage theft, and job security that puts families before corporate profits. rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...

Another one. So many Religious and GOP leaders are sexual predators . . . starting from the president down.

AOC: “Trump is less popular than he has ever been. He is underwater on virtually every issue. If you oppose & are disgusted by what this administration is doing, you are in the company of a majority of Americans. You are not alone”

Hawaii just passed a groundbreaking law directly challenging Citizens United and corporate money in politics 👀

This is how malignant narcissists, narcissistic sociopaths, psychopaths, megalomaniacs—any of these terms fits—roll. They destroy themselves—but often not without destroying everything around them. It's why we need to remove this mentally ill man as soon as possible.

JUST IN: Justice Department moves to dismiss most serious criminal case filed over #Jan6 Capitol Riot: seditious conspiracy prosecution of Proud Boys. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/28... Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2023/05...

🚨 The Trump DOJ has now moved to dismiss the seditious conspiracy case against Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes III and several other Oath Keepers who participated in the January 6th insurrection — with prejudice — meaning the charges cannot be brought again.

Trump told Hegseth to use dangerous American cities as military training grounds. His own NORTHCOM commander told Congress under oath he had no such directive. A president called American cities a military training opportunity. His general contradicted him publicly. That gap should terrify you.

Should Democrats Move to the "Center" to Win Elections? Despite a decade of data and losses, Democratic leadership and its donors refuse to meet a majority of Americans who are rejecting the status quo and instead demand fighters demanding massive change. thelefthook.substack.com/p/should-dem...

Wow. Spencer Pratt sounds like Trump: fake victimhood, nonstop grievance, speaking in superlatives like it’s wisdom. And folks are falling for it. People just need to admit they don’t want honesty. They want a charismatic con man who tells them what they want to hear while picking their pockets.

Yep, Trump's DOJ indicted Raul Castro for the exact same thing Trump's been doing. And, that's not to say I don't think the former Cuban dictator shouldn't pay for his crimes - he should. I mean it's time Trump did too.

congrats to jared polis for getting played like a chump

Our US stockpile is diminishing, but what comes next? The real question isn't whether we can finish the Iran fight. It's the 2-4 year window while we restock. I break all of this down in my latest YouTube video at the link in my reply.

Political is when a black quarterback silently kneels Not political is when a white quarterback introduces the president’s speech at a campaign rally

He had some high level shitposting to do

Absolutely 💯 Agree…. “We hate Trump like you hated President Obama. However, we hate Trump because he is racist. You hated Obama because you are racist.”

Congratulations on your wedding Don Jr. Sorry for distracting your Dad with this important work.

Love it: the night after he was kicked off of CBS for good, Stephen Colbert hosted a public access show in southeast Michigan.

Too many people have accepted Donald Trump’s presidency as "normal." Too many believe there is nothing we can do, and that we simply need to outlast his term. We cannot endure 29 more months with this mendacious, narcissistic, rapist, wannabe dictator who is selling us out to the highest bidder.

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

Trump Yesterday: "I wasn't involved in the creation of [the $1.776 billion slush fund] and the negotiation." Trump Today: "I was the one who decided how much money would go into the $1.776 billion slush fund." He lies about everything.

I’d encourage everybody to watch 12 Angry Men. It’s a film from 1957 about a murder trial and it applies to everything we’re seeing today with cognitive dissonance and anti intellectualism

This was only seven months ago children.

And that's the way things are going to keep going for Trump and Xi...

Unless they massively cheat, Paxton is going to get massacred in November.

Donald Trump's settlement makes it official government policy that Trump, his family, and his political allies are above the law. It's outrageously corrupt, and it must be stopped. I'm pressing for answers NOW.

Random reminder that banning elected officials from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.
