I've noticed how much I’ve aged in the past 5 years and I am really hoping that adding chia seeds to my yogurt can turn this whole thing around.

The idea is tell right wing Trumpers that it’s okay to seize the Capitol. You will be pardoned and hugely compensated. He’s creating an army of violent insurrectionists.

OMG!!! Does the Wall Street Journal think we didn't know already??? What an insane post linking to... an article they think is an exposé??? "A WSJ analysis of thousands of posts found that President Trump uses Truth Social to spread conspiracy theories and attack his adversaries."

Doing Michael Jackson hagiography sucks ass, Janet Jackson was cooler and Control is a perfect album, Jam and Lewis firing on all cylinders. It's the full realization of adulthood and defiance that MJ's work always lacked. Every song is staggeringly cool.

One more song from yours truly before we turn it over to you: It's the Eagles with 'Take it to the Limit' #Paws4music youtu.be/MxQXKO194XM?...

Okay, everybody, here's a lesson in economics. Pepsi was charging $7 a bag for Doritos, and people decided they were not paying it. That cost PepsiCo billions. .They will continue to Jack up prices based on what you are willing to pay. Stop paying it, stop buying it. It doesn't matter what it is.

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

There is a statue of author Alex Haley in East Knoxville, TN. Knox County just removed Roots from all school libraries.

The reason the economy was fucked in the beginning of Biden was because trump FUCKED EVERYTHING UP WITH THE PANDEMIC. You can't cherry pick a stat from his term to defend trump now without full context. The reason everything is fucked up now again is because trump FUCKED EVERYTHING UP. AGAIN.

Liars Own The Media

How can the President sue his own government when the president is supposed to release his tax returns? Can someone answer that..?

The Obama Presidential Center in B&W

Maybe a dumb question, but can DOJ just fork over $1.7 bn dollars to a slush fund without congress appropriating that money? Maybe it's already appropriated for some other purpose? Geninely not clear to me how they actually do it.

Here are the facts: People have always had and will always have abortions in all 50 states. Abortion pills are safe, effective, and have been used by millions of people. No court or politician can change either of those realities.

Libby's Spread n Heat Pizza (1975-circa 1978): A thick, creamy, brownish-orange, tomato-based, pizza-flavored melange in a can, that could be spread on toast or English muffins to make a quick pizza (just add cheese!) Available in Three flavors: Plain, Peppers & Onions, and Sausage

Predictions of the mother of all super El Ninos keep getting worse This monster has the potential to tear global weather patterns apart and bring worldwide mayhem But are governments making plans to try and cope - uhhm, No

So much winning! Basic food costs have jumped another 12% since January, making this the most expensive year to eat in American history.

Trump’s moving forward with his plan to sell AI chips to Chinese companies linked to the Chinese military. Giving China access to this premier US technology is dangerous and threatens our lead in the AI race that will shape the global economy for decades.

Attorney: I’m a trial lawyer. I tried the case against Meta and Google in Los Angeles, the first social media addiction case decided by an American jury. The evidence that I saw in that case keeps me up at night.

“[Donald Trump] has created a permission structure for people to be their worst selves. He has taught Americans that it’s okay to be selfish and spiteful and hateful and angry and resentful and that is the most toxic thing he has done to the country.”

Way to go, Australia! 🇦🇺 Trump Tower Australia has been cancelled after the developer said the Trump family brand has become too “toxic.”

SEE HOW EASILY HE LIES The reflecting pool sounds like a disaster: holes and bubbling pain. Trump first bragged that he sent in a contractor he personally used before, a guy who “does pools.” Now suddenly it’s: “I did not know the contractor,” and the folks at Interior made the pick.

NEW: We've spent 10 months tracking the outcomes in tens of thousands of lawsuits brought by ICE detainees amid an unprecedented detention push. It's not a cose call: judges have ruled more than 10,000 times against ICE, a 9-1 ratio. See the database: www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

I don't support the current Iranian regime, one built on the repression of its people by the military. What I've seen of Iran, the Iranians I have met who call this land home: it makes me weep for what would be lost in a protracted war or the rash actions of a bellicose bully. Hoping for peace.

The Trump Administration is using nearly $2 billion of your tax dollars to pay foreign companies to walk away from energy projects that would have lowered your electricity bills and powered millions of homes.

Was a junior in hs in 1965 and what LBJ did gave me chills then and still does today. For a boy raised in poverty and racism, to a Senate leader having to deal w/Southern senators... to a President who changed the lives of millions of Americans, Black and white, for generations. #NotGoingBack

It was great joining @jamestalarico.bsky.social and @ginafortexas.bsky.social today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor. Let’s get it done, Texas!

Remember, Elon Musk is an INVESTOR, not an INVENTOR, and he doesn't HAVE good ideas, he BUYS them.

Trump yesterday: "I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody." Vance today: "I don't think the president said that." "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, '1984'

Zohran Mamdani has fully balanced New York City’s $12 billion deficit — an uncomfortable reminder to the political establishment that governments can, in fact, function when taxpayer money isn’t funneled toward lobbyists wealthy benefactors

I don’t know exactly how Trump will embarrass our country in China, but I think we can count on it happening.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Sorry, maga. Trump has always been thus awful and you DID vote for this.

BREAKING: Ka$h Patel lied under oath yesterday. Actually, not really breaking news. We all knew that already, didn’t we?

Trump in his own words: “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situations. I don’t think about anybody.”

One of my favorites...... Pretty timely 😀

an absolutely monumental achievement! A massive congratulations to her for breaking barriers, challenging stereotypes, and proving that determination knows no bounds. Becoming the world's first practicing lawyer with Down syndrome after 5 years of hard work at the Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas

Look at this mess he made. It looks like finger painting by a bunch of kindergarten children.
