I understand Miller doesn’t like being called Goebbels, but maybe - and I’m just spitballing here - he should stop plagiarizing Goebbels speeches

The Harvest is long past Cherries weren’t picked and rotted Apples fell to the ground and were badly bruised and made unusable except for animal fodder Corn remains to be plowed under for lack of workers to pick it

We're in court today challenging an Arkansas law that forces public schools to display the Ten Commandments. We've said it before and we'll say it again: Public schools aren't Sunday schools.

Brilliant.

@tomtomorrow.bsky.social @rubenbolling.bsky.social First they come for the comedians, then the cartoonist. Kings fear being laughed at. We have a funny bone to pick with/without a smile on our faces #Colbert #Kimmel #SethMeyers #DailyShow

Part of the reason so many of these fools hate Stephen Colbert is that he lives his life as the faithful and humble Christian they constantly claim themselves to be but are too selfish and fearful to actually be.

What does FEMA have to do with a mass deportation campaign? Florida can be reimbursed for the estimated $450 million cost of detention centers like their Concentration Camp in the Everglades by FEMA Remember this when they say FEMA has no money for Hurricane Victims

Vanilla ISIS and Y’all-Qaeda need to sit the fuck down with the Civil War fantasies. Only a handful of you could run down the street without an inhaler, and you want to be deputized to go help ICE? Clown shit.

Finally, somebody had the courage to say this out loud.

List of countries not subjected to tariffs: Russia Belarus North Korea Cuba They apparently took the time to impose tariffs on several uninhabited islands, so the omissions are extra noteworthy. If you spot others please flag!

At a time when we so desperately need a leader, this is hopeful.

I’m at the Center for American Progress event featuring Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, and this sure does sound like a fighter who’s fully prepared to step up and lead. For the first time in weeks, I feel better about the future of the country. @americanprogress.bsky.social @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

Call Congress and demand a congressional investigation. The Trump administration is rewarding those who break the law with personal gain. We will hold individuals accountable by calling them out by name when they violate the law.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

As I said last week, the Oval Office presser with Elon and his toddler is an indication Trump is merely a figurhead. The deal he cut with Putin and Musk to keep him out of prison by cheating for him. He has no say in anything.

I used to think this. But now I’m not so sure. Trump not only owes Musk; he seems to fear him, much as he seems to fear Putin.
