Trump ran for president to stay out of jail And now he's trying to destroy our democracy for the same reason.

Somewhere between 1976 and 2026, Trump took “We the People” and rebranded it as “me, myself and I.”

“If you zoom in on the guitarist’s sunglasses you can see a crowd of less than a dozen people… the organizers appear to have recently deleted that image.” 😬 🕶️

When he says the bipartisan housing bill is “so unimportant” compared to the voter suppression bill he means it doesn’t help him personally while the other one saves his ass

Of course it looks like a fucking Reichsadler. Why wouldn’t it 🤦‍♂️

If Mitch McConnell and his family want privacy, he should resign. Otherwise, he needs to reveal his condition and advise of his ability to do his job.

“I think we are seeing a hunger that is not just felt by New Yorkers, but frankly by Americans from coast to coast, for a new kind of politics, one that puts working people at the heart of it.” —Mayor Zohran Mamdani

I went to the Great American State Fair this weekend…and it really was as empty as reported. **And where did the rest of our taxpayer dollars go?

If this were just Ketanji Brown Jackson walking the halls of the Capitol, meeting with “nobody” the day before final rulings, Trump and Republicans would be going ballistic.

BREAKING: MIAMI (AP) — More than 100 Venezuelans deported from the US hours before earthquakes are missing after their hotel collapses.

To be crystal clear here -- the nun was **wearing her habit** and walking to Sunday mass when ICE arrested her and hauled her off: apnews.com/article/nun-...

Dr. Oz was on stage with Dean Cain talking about how great the crowd was at the Trump Fyre Festival 250, so TMZ’s videographer panned the camera to reveal the complete opposite. 😂

We’re back to the Sunday market manipulation loop, folks

@jamestalarico.bsky.social is what a politician should be.

Lightning struck the Eiffel Tower as Europe’s massive heat dome continues to scorch Paris with record-breaking temperatures.

"CENTRISTS UNITE!" It's 15 people. 5 of whom aren't even elected yet. All of them in districts trump won. Don't let corporate media - especially media owned by Bezos - convince you the party is somehow fractured by throngs of centrists pushing back. It's not. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“When did Fox become a tabloid? Are you even a real news organization?” Amazing

It was called Freedom 250 because that's how many people went.

💯

“Vote blue no matter who” goes both ways, friends. Progs call out centrists for saying it. Now centrists are calling progs out for saying it. Stop letting billionaires divide us.

Watching episode of ER from 2001. Dr. Chen & Dr. Carter are trying to diagnose an unconscious preschooler. Carter: “Could be measles.” Chen: “Measles? Have you ever seen measles?” Carter: “No, have you?” Chen: “Of course not, nobody’s seen measles.” So far backwards in such a short time.

🔥 Marc Maron eviscerates Joe Rogan and his unfunny Trump-supporting crew to @karaswisher: “They were sucking up to fascists and promoting the end of liberal democracy and beginning of authoritarianism… bootlickers, pawns, suckers, grifters… it was never about free speech.”

Yikes

Maybe Vance doesn't know this part of history because it's in one of the books his administration has banned. The difference between the Watergate era and now is that back then, Republicans actually did something about a law-breaking president. Today, they only roll over for their cult leader.

The BBC has requested that Donald Trump hand over his phone records from Jan. 6 as part of his defamation lawsuit against the broadcaster.

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

Current state: Pedos on the Epstein list putting everyone else on watchlists for wanting to see the Epstein list.

The irony of Republicans establishing Sharia-like laws while railing against the imaginary threat of Sharia Laws…

Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

“Of course, she knows this. She’s just a liar.” 🔥

Frankly, not close enough . . .

It’s not just mental health. My VA dental appointment took over a year to schedule. And my MRI was done incorrectly and had to be re-done, postponing my surgery for a year. Stop. Voting. For. Republicans.

“Welcome, but be good” What a fucking moron

AOC: The Republican Party’s brand is fear. They constantly want Americans in fear of somebody because, if you are not afraid of someone who is your neighbor, you’re going to realize who’s actually pickpocketing you.

So, do I have this right? We’re removing artificial colors from M&Ms but giving immunity to companies that poison us?

PSA: Check your passport expiration date before you end up with one of these!

Larry Ellison gave $45M to support Trump's reelection in 2024. In return, Trump has given Ellison free rein to build more AI data centers and helped him gobble up companies like Paramount, WBD, and TikTok for his business empire. This is what oligarchy looks like.

And like clockwork… markets close, back to bombing Iran

“If Democrats win, Congress will do its job again” is a wild message from the current Speaker of the House

Mike Johnson: Democrats "will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, and friends, half of you in this room will be targeted." "I run the protection program. We'll take care of you, OK?"

If Republicans maintain their majority in Congress, Speaker Mike Johnson intends to spend the next two years running an anti-oversight “protection program” for the White House and its allies. I’m honestly a little surprised he admitted this out loud and in public. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Mamdani's revolutionary idea that has entrenched power scared is that he wants to a.) listen to people and b.) help them.
