Betsy Ross flag that is currently flying outside the Commerce Bldg here. Great if you want to have a discussion but maybe allow comments on your post.

When the world serves a better visual metaphor than you could have ever come up with.

You guys, the White House accidentally ordered 10x the amount of Porta-Potties that they needed. The lawn is just acres of Porta-Potties. It’s all fenced off and you can’t see, but I took this photo through a hole in the fence netting.

When was the last time you saw Trump standing up?

Trump is not only sleeping through Cabinet meetings, he’s stopped playing golf and tonight held a rally disguised as a roundtable because he can’t stand for more than a few minutes. The visit to Walter Reed wasn’t a routine checkup… something seems seriously wrong.

When Republicans cried “FReEeEdOoom” - this is what they meant.

Dick Cheney's former cardiologist Dr. Jonathan Reiner flagged video of Trump, 79, slumping and dozing through an Oval Office coal briefing, noting his recent Walter Reed physical contained zero mention of a sleep disorder he calls a "severe illness."

Do you think the Secret Service has wireless heart monitors on the president so that they’ll know if he’s just sleeping or, you know, needs an ambulance or hearse.

Are we just Weekend at Bernie-ing here?

Duh

Enshitification isn’t just Google - it’s almost everything.

JFC this just like the subplot from this season’s “The Morning Show” on AppleTV.

GOP Senate Hopeful Royce White Liable for Abusing Wife and Son: Judge #Newsweek

In case you're wondering what Minnesota Republicans have been up to today at their state convention.

Rolling Stone reports that Trump purchased stock in UFC's parent company while promoting a UFC event at the White House.

The No Kings movement has announced nationwide protests for June 14, Trump's 80th birthday, saying America was founded to reject kings, not celebrate them.

I remember when I wrote about how John Solomon was rolling over for Trump and he got so mad and insisted he was so independent etc and well

Christian Castro, an ICE agent charged in Operation Metro Surge shooting, has been arrested.

New news, and it’s happy. Judge blocks Kennedy Center renaming and closure, calls renaming illegal. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

The White House looks like the parking lot of the Skaggs-Albertsons grocery store whenever that shady AF carnival came in to town that my mom would never let me go to.

Now imagine the starting QB for your NFL franchise just voluntarily decided to associate with the same figure that’s too toxic for Young MC and Bret Michaels.

The U.S. is bending the knee to Iran. Shameful. Treasonous.

God we’re fucking begging them.

Nearly all the extras in this iconic scene were French expatriates. Their tears during the stirring rendition of La Marseillaise were genuine— filmed at a time when the fate of France was still uncertain. CASABLANCA (1942) #MichaelCurtiz

35 former federal judges are asking to investigate Trump’s IRS lawsuit to determine if there's been “corruption of the judicial process itself.” They argue it may have been used as part of a “collusive scheme” tied to a massive undisclosed settlement and legal protections for Trump and his family.

Trump here looks like that “face on Mars.”

Belligerent buffoonery is a defining characteristic of this administration.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "Ken Paxton embodies this broken, corrupt political system... impeached three years ago by his own party for using his public office, his position of public trust, to enrich himself and his donors at our expense."

Iran shot down a U.S. drone, fired on an F-35, and says the U.S. has violated the ceasefire — all while Trump was at Walter Reed for his third hospital visit this year posting QAnon memes. Your midday update is here:

80 next month. 3 Walter Reed trips in 13 mos. CT scans, swollen ankles, slurred words, dozing off beside world leaders. Obvious decline. The White House response? Posting screenshots of CNN anchors blinking. These people are running the country! #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/210903/...

One of Trump’s longtime donors is shutting down an Ohio manufacturing plant and moving operations to China. Billionaire John Paulson, who raised over $50M for Trump’s 2024 campaign, plans to offshore Conn Selmer, the largest U.S. maker of brass and orchestra instruments. (TNR)

Andy Kim leads by example

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.

No, you can not have health insurance, you whiny fucking peasants! Yes, we can afford to build UFC cages on the Whitehouse property! 🙄

Trump "blinked" for a long time during Pete Hegseth's Memorial Day speech

A reminder.

What Would Jesus Do?

Trump couldn't even negotiate his own surrender.

I think that #Bluesky Trends is just seriously borked. Hopefully there’s some user stories in the works to fix it. @bsky.app @bluetrends.bsky.social

🤔 An internal crisis is brewing in Russia: dissatisfaction with Putin's policies and the course of the war is growing among Russian elites and security forces, — The Guardian ➡️ Putin's inner circle is gradually losing trust in him, and the Kremlin dictator himself is becoming increasingly isolated.
