Trump on renaming things: "We have a lake, we have a gulf. We need a river, an ocean, and a strait. So I've got the strait. That's the Strait of Hormuz. We're gonna call it the Trump Strait ... I want to change the the name of the Atlantic Ocean to the American Ocean."

A baby girl was killed in her stroller today by a Russian drone strike in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv Region. Her name was Anhelina. Her mother died as well. ​An absolutely barbaric strike on a park full of families with children. ​6 people have been confirmed killed so far, including other children.

Trump: "The Department of Interior wants to take a terrible and very unsafe golf course, and make it into a great, safe, and prestigious golf course ... They do not need an approval. Work is scheduled to begin IMMEDIATELY!"

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Joe Walsh@walshfreedom.bsky.social

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

I believe a President should be impeached every time they commit an impeachable act

Beyond parody: "At the strong request of the Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers..."

Trump treats WH reporters like shit. They should respond in kind. No more deference. Talk back to him. Tell him he just lied, and didn’t answer the question. Correct him. Confront him with reality. Ask him why he surrounds himself with sycophants. Ask him if he’s lying or just crazy.

NowThis Impact@nowthisimpact.bsky.social

The Trump administration’s corruption is so massive it’s basically created a whole new job category: pardon brokers.

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social

So the GOP is celebrating a guy who created a darknet marketplace for heroin and meth, and put out multiple muder-for-hire contacts to conceal his crimes.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

Is it a big deal that the U.S. president is telling insane lies that he personally rushed to the site of 9/11 and heroically acted like a first responder himself? Sorta seems like it should be! Maybe?

Dustin Nolan, Emmy winning anchor at KWQC TV6 in the Quad Cities, quit live on air Friday. "We have to be more than sanitized news because it makes people feel uncomfortable. The facts matter." He did not name his reasons. He did not have to.

I would like a side-by-side account of the cost of: the Iran war, the reflecting pool, the ballroom, the Qatari plane, the WWE fight; DOJ settlement payoffs (like to Ashli Babbitt) and any other vanity projects I'm missing; compared with all of the "waste and fraud" supposedly saved by the DOGE cuts

Fred Guttenberg@fredguttenberg.bsky.social

The demented loser, who only appeals to the "loser class" managed to behave like a child and be antisemitic all in one post. As for his enablers in the Senate who work with @ossoff.senate.gov, I blame all of you. You could defend America and stop this today.

Scott MacFarlane@macfarlanenews.bsky.social

The misogynistic smearing of a former First Lady at a White House event sanctioned by a President … is a stain that will not be removable

Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social

🚨Trump has a complete MELTDOWN on Meet the Press. Kristen Welker presses him on his wild California election conspiracies. Trump calls her crooked, calls the press crooked, and throws a tantrum about how unfair everything is. Then he storms out mid-interview like a toddler who lost at recess. 🍼🤣

Larry Mitchell@drlarrymitchell.bsky.social

To believe 2020 was stolen, you also have to believe: 1. While Trump was in his first term, he allowed Biden to infiltrate the federal government & rig the election against him. 2. In 2024, when Biden and the Democrats were actually in charge, they chose NOT to & let Trump win.

This administration is so corrupt… they will do anything to defend the Jan 6 insurrection.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

MacFarlane: I'm filling a notebook with misinformation spreading about January 6th today. The idea that these cases were wrongful, no case was overturned, not a one on appeal. And lots of people appealed. They had a 100% success rate for juries at trial.

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

I'm a registered Democrat, but once upon a time I might have voted for a Republican if their values aligned with mine. Not anymore. I'll never even consider voting for a Republican again. Their party has been eaten alive by bigotry, misogyny & everything else I hate. They're all tainted now.

Okay, really. What the fuck is wrong with Trump’s hands? 🤨

WELKER: On Amazon, there are dozens of "8647" products being sold and purchased right now. Should individuals selling or buying that merchandise be concerned they are going to prosecuted? BLANCHE: Of course not
