Trump has the worst polls of any president ever because his admin: - started a new forever war - raised gas prices - crashed economy out of pure stupidity - murders Americans - promises to keep murdering Americans - Is most corrupt government in the history of the world - President is pedophile

This should concern anyone who believes our courts should make decisions based on evidence instead of politics. Federal judges use technical reference manuals to better understand complicated subjects that come up in court, including engineering, medicine, cybersecurity, and climate science.

Been a hot minute. What did I miss? AI proof of life of Mitch McConnell ✔️ ICE killing again ✔️ Lindsey Graham kicked the bucket ✔️ and the rotten orange still going on about election fraud when he was in charge in 2020 ✔️✔️ Yup that about covers it.

Remember how all these republicans pretended to believe in free speech?

Newly unsealed evidence makes it even clearer that Rubio and Noem knew they were targeting students based solely on their political speech and that they knew this policy was unconstitutional. They just didn’t care. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

FACT: In July, Marsha Blackburn voted for the largest cut to SNAP in the history of the program. Now, 700,000 TN children, seniors & people w/ disabilities are going to miss meals and she’s pretending to care b/c she’s running for Governor. She thinks your too dumb to remember

A sampling of texts from my overseas friends during Trump’s UN speech. “OMG” “Do you guys not hear the words coming out of his mouth? How can anyone not know he is deeply unwell?” “LOL. What a sad mess” “A proper nutter” “I’m embarrassed for you. Hang in there”

And then there's the ones who stayed home, voted third party, or just wouldn't vote for Harris because insert blank. We warned you. Project 2025 warned you. Hell the pedophile in charge warned you.

They’re whitewashing our history in books and museums …recruiting Nazis into ICE. …deploying the military into our cities. …shielding the pedophiles and predators in their ranks. …stealing your data, social security & Medicaid. Because some of you couldn’t handle pronouns.

I don't want to hear the right complaining about books grooming their kids ever again. Not when they voted and are standing by this.

Replying to @meidastouch.com

It’s more than a cover up. Trump is making a deal with a predator. America needs to make clear she is as bad as Epstein and he is making a deal with her to protect himself. He must have a lot to hide!

No matter the way you look at it, rather it's at the local level or all the way to the White House, this is a GOP fuck up.

A win! In a rare show of unity, the Senate voted 99–1 overnight to remove a controversial provision that would have blocked states from passing and enforcing their own artificial intelligence laws for the next decade.

The most underrated beautiful animated story.

"You die? "Well, yes, someday." "I die?" "I don't know. You're made of metal, but you have feelings, & you think about things, & that means you have a soul. And souls don't die." All shot practically using real figures, lighting & miniature sets

The GOP in power doesn't care about their own voters. They aren't poor like their voters are.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

It's wild that Republicans are going full speed ahead with massive health care cuts when there is no political demand for it, even from their own voters

Actual advice from an actual lawyer. You can tell because it doesn't include molotov cocktails, satisfying as those might be.

I'm a human rights lawyer. I have represented immigrants & asylum seekers my entire career. As you see ICE increase its attacks on immigrants, here are steps you as a US citizen can take to be an ally & protect immigrants from ICE and CBP absue.

WTF!

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Every accusation they make is really just an admission.

This isn’t legal, Elon. Musk steps up calls to impeach judges, offering $100 to voters who join in. America PAC is paying registered Wisconsin voters to sign its petition against “activist judges.” Talk about paid protesters. Now, judges are receiving violent threats online.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

The big question was whether the White House would obey court orders and appeal them as is its right, or whether it would thumb its nose and risk contempt. The White House so far has chosen to appeal.
