Given the latest revelations, I'm not sure we're making a big enough deal that Trump initially wanted Matt Gaetz for AG.

This. JD Vance is just as vile.

Tell me how this isn't journalistic malpractice.

She doesn't even say those dead people were necessarily receiving benefits. It's the same shit Elon Musk tried to pull with Social Security. 3 million people die in the U.S. every year. She says, "we found almost 200,000 dead people," but doesn't finish the sentence with "...receiving benefits."

A pedophile talking about our President.

If you had told me a decade ago that we would elect a pedophile to the Oval Office (twice) before we elected a woman, I would’ve called you crazy. Boy do I feel sheepish right now.

"This could take down Democrats, too." I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office. Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Billions for Argentina’s Wall Street investors. Higher costs for American families. “America First”? Give me a break.

In a rare case of Substack notes usefulness, I just learned that Sarah Kendzior (author of They Knew and a brilliant writer) got bounced from Bluesky. What the hell? new @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

When the Conservative Party in Korea declared martial law, the Korean Democrats knew if they didn’t send them to hell there would be no opposition afterwards. And look at them. They’re taking the ex conservative president and ensuring he never breathes free ever again.

To repeat: I have studied a lot of cases of autocratization over the past 15 years. Wrote about them, taught about them, consulting about them. I do not recall an opposition so apathetic, ignorant, and inept as the @democrats.org. They cling to their power, rather than fight for democracy. Shame.

Would love to see some reporting on how the airline lobby put on the pressure.

Great work Senators. Feckless and weak and foolish. So disappointing and yet so expected.

I've been at work so I just saw this post. I went to call her office to complain about her lack of empathy for the American people and surprise surprise the mailbox is full. So I left one at on of her New Hampshire offices. If she doesn't want to fight, resign.

Trump’s plan is for people to pay his banker friends hundreds of thousands more in interest on mortgages while they own a piece of your home until you die.

With Trump’s massive tax cuts for the wealthy currently exploding the deficit, and now this, Trump and his oligarch cronies want to make us debt slaves from birth to death while truly owning nothing, while they buy bigger yachts and more mansions.

$40 Billion to Argentina so Milei can dance like Trump at Mar-a-lago but they’re suing not to feed hungry Americans and they’ll let your health care premiums skyrocket

For Trump: Seafood towers at Mar-A-Lago For Americans: Bread lines

This is not how government works unless what is in the Epstein files will ruin your political party and prove you shill and cover for a pedophile.

Damnit. Terrific season from @racingloufc.com, making the playoffs was a huge hurdle crossed but it's still only a beginning. Jordyn Bloomer came on and showed this team could be a force. Proud of how they all performed regardless of the result today. Big Purp all day!

A deep commitment to anti-wokeness

KAYLA FISCHER!!!!! LET'S GO @racingloufc.com !!!!!!

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

We print dollars. We are plenty liquid whenever we need to be. This is where his background as a private businessman completely fails him.

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

The administration is now APPEALING the court decision requiring it to provide full food assistance to Americans. There’s no other way to put it: They are doing everything they can to take food away from Americans in need. Shameful.

Yassamin Ansari is an absolute badass for doing this outside Mike Johnson's office. Wow.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

are renewables better for the environment than fossil fuels? yes. is it cheaper? also yes. is it less dangerous to extract? yes, significantly. but you've gotta understand if we switched, the people who are currently wealthy would not be as wealthy

Trump is unwell and unable to stand today. What are they hiding about his health?

Important timing here. More facts showing Speaker Johnson is refusing to do his job in order to protect pedophiles. Why is Mike Johnson hiding the Epstein files?

Hope is a fuel. Use it to burn down something terrible.

The wealth of the 10 richest Americans surged $698B in the past year. Trump’s tax handouts to billionaires and cuts to health care will only make inequality worse. We need an economy that works for everyone – not one that works for the 1% and hangs everyone else out to dry.

He should be surrounded by a team of nurses at all times

Seems like we should be questioning the cognitive health or at least the eyesight of a guy who struggles to read a teleprompter.

Can they ever open their mouth without a fascist chestnut popping out?

LMAO he's trying to be Mamdani!

Amazing. He's saying the quiet part out loud without even realizing it. I know how absurd this is to say these days, but it's important to remember that officially, redistricting isn't supposed to unfairly favor one party over another.

What an absolute monster.

Today would be a good day to fund the ACA and end the GOP shutdown.

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

Rolling over for absolutely nothing. The American people demonstrating in the streets are showing more courage, resolve, principle & intelligence than these Senators. A vote on the subject, not votes to fund the subsidies, doesn't get us lower prices. A vote doesn't keep people on healthcare. Shame.

Donald Trump is telling the Republicans to "get tougher." Get tougher on who? The woman with malignant melanoma? Because he sure as hell isn't getting tougher on the billionaires he invited to his Great Gatsby party.

Re: #SNAP loss - everyone seems to focus on families with kids, and rightly so, but people, please check on your #elderly neighbors. They may not be as connected or aware, they might not drive, and the need will be significant. Please make sure they have access to #food as best you can.

No, I’m not watching 60 Minutes. I’d rather swallow live bees.

In Donald Trump's mind, there is only him. He is everything. Everything is his. Everything is about him. Nothing else, no one else, matters. In his own mind, he is the law. Everyone must follow him. He is the only one who gets to say what is right and what is wrong. ...

Democrats are expected to provide think tank level policy proposals for every societal ill under the sun (fully paid for too, natch!!) while Republicans are just like "we'll figure something out" and the media nods along.🙃

NYT: The WH did not disclose several donors to the ballroom who have business before Trump: Jeff Yass, TikTok investor: $2.5m+ to ballroom BlackRock, buying Panama Canal ports: $2.5m+ Extremity Care, Medicare $ issues: $2.5m Vantive, Medicare $.
