I can’t believe the guy who invented “groceries” would be so unconcerned about prices

Nothing like doubling down on an appalling statement by a president. Congratulations to the 77M fucking idiots who elected this fuckwit. Hope bankruptcy is chasing you.

I know we keep seeing these stories about Republican officials who are arrested for sex crimes against children, but it's just a string of hundreds of coincidences.

Just like every time he blames Biden, it is Biden's fault to tRump and all of maga, all he has to do it say it about 50 or so times.

Republican guys have some serious problems.

In 2009, Obama urged the Chinese in China to respect human rights and promoted democracy. For Trump’s visit, those were part of the four red lines he was warned not to cross. And he didn’t. We used to sell democracy and planes Now we just try and sell planes.

CT Senate Bill 5, prohibiting AI companion bots from engaging in romantic or sexual roleplay with minors passed the state legislature this month, creating strict regulations to protect minors. If you're surprised 21 Republican lawmakers voted against it, you haven't been paying attention to them.

The Supreme Court of the Confederacy: Only Republican maps can be approved. States rights only apply to Republican states. Discrimination laws are mean to protect white people. Same for due process. Unitary executive theory only applies to Republican presidents. Precedent means pre-1860.

The double standard is striking.

Well it's too close to the election, obviously, because there's a standard for these things. Pay no attention to literally anything else they're saying or doing...

Stephen Colbert and David Letterman throwing things off the Ed Sullivan Theater. Colbert: “Anything you’d like to say, Dave?” Letterman: “In the words of the great Edward R. Murrow to CBS: ‘Good night and good luck, motherfuckers.’”

This is what democracy looks like. They are also working to recall the mayor and suing the Chicago based real estate developer. Make the greedy bastards pay!

Whoa.

"Ai" is corrupting the sum of human knowledge accumulated over centuries, millennia even. Can the accumulation of these errors and hallucinations cause a general system breakdown?

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

Corporations reportedly received “VIP invitations” to “networking” events in exchange for sponsoring Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s road trip. The sponsors included Boeing, Toyota, and United Airlines — all of which are regulated by Duffy’s department. The corruption never ends.

Residents also point out that electricity prices have already risen about 77% since late 2022. Now they’re being told to wait while their utility scrambles to replace three-quarters of its power supply by next spring.

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.

Trash it, then buy it. Every time. 🙄 @cnbc.com #NYC www.cnbc.com/2026/05/11/l...

Someone lies about voter fraud, undermining the foundation of our democracy, and the president amplifies that lie. Nothing counters it. Just lies in the ether. And they’re all ok with that. I am not. Once again: there is no “other side” to the voter fraud story in 2020. It didn’t happen.

Sign of the Times...

it's going to be a tough negotiation between two of Trump's cronies over how many billions of tax payer dollars to give Trump.

The Tennessee Speaker of the House will remove all Democratic Caucus members from standing committees and subcommittees as punishment for their redistricting protests. Democracy dies in Nashville.

We need to stop presenting OLC opinions as anything significant. OLC has long been too ambitious in its assessment of executive claims. Given what Trump has done to the entire administration, Bondi initially did to DOJ, and Blanche has done since, they’ve rendered OLC opinions meaningless.

Trump one month before the 2024 election: “Think of it - within one year you’re gonna have electric bills and energy bills and gasoline for your cars is going to be 50% cheaper than it is right now. That’s a big thing.”

A University of Central Florida graduation speaker named Gloria Caulfield was booed by students after calling the AI boom ‘the next Industrial Revolution.’

There should already be commercials running that say “Congressman X wants to give Donald Trump a BILLION dollars for his ballroom. Congressman X voted to take away your healthcare subsidies. Who does Congressman X really work for?” In the same creepy voice they use in ads against Dems.

Another dental visit, huh? It’s just getting comical at this point. They can’t even keep the lies straight.

My (now deceased...) husband was a water planner for a water district here in FL for 17 years. He said more times than I can count that the next world war would be over water. He was perpetually mad because water policy is not made for the people - it is bought and paid for by corporations.

I haven't heard much speculation on tRump's health, you know when compared to the health of Biden. So, I guess I have to do it myself: tRump is no longer alive, and the corpse is being dragged around weekend at Bernie's style with an assist of AI.

Some 92% of Wall St. stocks are held by the wealthiest 10%. Bottom 90% reality: LIRR workers might strike this week for raises: 3% for 2023, 3% for 2024, and 3.5% for 2025. Workers want 5% for 2026. Mgt says, 3% max. March 2026 inflation: 3.3%. Corporate CEO raises: 20%+/-. Some, $60m + shares.

Did you know every MAGA influencer is in a group chat with people close to the administration where they’re regularly given scripts? They also have a website to sign up for influence campaigns that they never disclose. They’re making bank off of lying to you.

According to the new Fox News poll, less than 1% of voters think “wokeness/transgender issues” are the most important things. Instead, they were focused on inflation, corruption, and the Iran war, all Trump weaknesses. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/04/shoc...

Kevin Hassett’s Fox appearance today was a perfect encapsulation of the Trump economic program: 1. He pledged insanely unrealistic growth numbers that have no basis is reality. 2. He then said if they fail to achieve those numbers it will be the fault of Democratic states.
