Kick Rocks

Nothing says you’re racist like racism.

Bernie Sanders: "I know conservative parents want to raise their kids to be honest, not to be bullies, not to lie and cheat all of the time. If we want to raise our kids to be honest, not to be narcissists who think the world revolves around them, then we need to hold Donald Trump accountable."

AOC: "What the Trump administration is doing in targeting trans people is to get everyone on board with supporting defunding their own civil rights ... understand that when they attack trans girls in sports, they're also attacking all women's ability to stand up against their abusers"

I’ve said this before, Trump is Saruman without the intellect, real hair, and fashion sense.

Will anyone ask Trump or @MarshaBlackburn or @BrentTaylorTN about this today? Seems like a clarksville type Q 🤷🏼

Spot the difference

Talarico on Republican name-calling: “These nicknames don’t lower the cost of groceries, gas, healthcare, or childcare. I think Texans are really fed up with this professional wrestling of politics.”

Trump promised $5,000 stimulus checks from DOGE cuts. You got 0. Trump promised $2,000 stimulus checks from tariffs. You got 0. Trump promised $1,000 checks from Obamacare cuts. You got 0. Trump promised $1.98 gas. You got $4+. Trump now has more promises for you.

Stock trades by President. The blatant corruption is just staggering

No human has ever been so consistently stupid in front of so many people for so long.

Tom Kean was so transparent & honest with the American people about why he disappeared with no explanation for the past 4 months while collecting a taxpayer salary that he showed up, read a brief speech, then refused to answer questions both before & after reading his statement.

President Biden on Trump: "Woah, what a loser." At an event for Maryland Democrats, Biden said: "The reflecting pool reflects something even worse than the narcissism and incompetence at the core of this administration. It's the corruption, the corruption, the brazen, blatant corruption."

Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

The humiliating Iran deal requires the U.S. to come up with a $300 billion reparations payment to Iran. That's more than Iran's entire GDP. Trump says taxpayers won't pay for it. So I compiled a helpful list.

Actually, they call him a Nazi because he repeatedly gave a Nazi salute on national TV, is trying to start a race war in Europe, and is partially responsible for 14 million deaths due to his interference in the U.S. government. For all that, no one wants him hurt, just indicted.

Here’s Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in April announcing the end of the military’s mandatory annual flu vaccine requirement, calling it “Not rational.”

Absolutely this. Two kinds of people talk about IQ scores like they're meaningful -- very dumb people and very racist people, and they're usually both.

Donald Trump is breaking all of his promises, and he thinks you're too stupid to notice.

Affordability is not a hoax made up by Democrats. But I know Trump is busy with his wars and basketball games and golf and UFC fight and ballroom and reflecting pool and triumphal arch and the Kennedy Center and parades and fireworks and putting gold and his name on everything.

The Indiana Fever are about to #SacramentoKings this lead out of existence. #WNBA

All the election fraud nonsense from Republicans for 6 years - court cases, airtime, hearings, investigations, conspiracies, audits - all due to one single reason: Trump has never admitted that he lost a contest in his entire life. So an entire party must sound like idiots.

How can any member of Congress vote for a big budget increase for the Trump War Machine Pentagon when they go to absurd extremes to hide everything they are doing from the American people?

He doesn’t seem to realize that if this were to happen (it won’t) millions of Muslims would suddenly be able to vote

4 things you will never hear from Trump or any of his cabinet members: 1. We made a mistake. 2. We take full responsibility for it. 3. We apologize. 4. We will learn from it and do better.

Smith: "We're doing this on our own as we increasingly push away all our allies, gratuitously insulting them. In the middle of this war where we're asking NATO to come join us, the president took time to insult Macron and his wife. How is that helping us, to try to belittle everybody in the world?"

THEN: the people’s house. NOW: casino penthouse.

Mexico didn’t pay for the wall, Trump gold cards didn’t balance the budget, there are no $2,000 DOGE or tariff refund checks, and donors aren’t paying for the ballroom.

Can we please buy the Washington Mystics broadcast the cameras they so clearly need?! #WNBA

We are currently in the 3-5 day pause on the 14 day extension of the initial 48 hour hard deadline for the ceasefire.

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

Donald Trump wanted a commemorative stamp with his face on it but the focus group said 65% of Americans would spit on the front side and the other 35% would lick the backside.

Hungary’s prime minister is more important to Donald Trump than all of his voters put together, than all Americans, than America itself, and it’s not even close. I wrote an essay yesterday to explain why: snyder.substack.com/p/the-hungar...

No matter how bad he gets and no matter what he does, Republicans in Congress will never stand up to him or speak out because some agree with him on everything and the rest are spineless cowards.

Angus: This is a president who says the only constraint on his actions is not Congress, not the courts, not international law, but, quote, “my own morality, my own mind.” There is no morality in a man accused of being a rapist…

Iran won’t close the Strait Iran better open the Strait Iran has 2 days to open the Strait Iran has a week to open the Strait NATO, open the Strait I’ll bomb your critical infrastructure if Strait isn’t opened I don’t care about the Strait No ceasefire till Strait is open

Just a reminder that the senator who sponsored the bill which became law with broad bipartisan support that states a president cannot pull the US out of NATO without congressional approval was … Marco Rubio.

Organizers expect today's No Kings Day rallies — with more than 3,000 events planned across all 50 states — to be the largest single-day protest in American history.

The exact same election rules are now in place when Republicans won the presidency, house and senate in 2024. But now suddenly Republicans are unable to win another election without the SAVE Act because everyone has been cheating. Makes sense.

ICYMI — Ex-Trump White House Lawyer Ty Cobb: “He's a demented narcissist. He rules the country in a very authoritarian manner with the assistance of a cowardly cabinet and even more cowardly Republicans in congress.” (From @acyn.bsky.social )

we're supposed to believe the Trump administration has spent more than a year doing a mass deportation of the worst of the worst criminals, but also there are sleeper cells of undocumented Iranians in the country that constitute a grave national security threat. the math ain't mathing.

Casar: "Trump said oil prices going up would be 'small price to pay.' Well, everything for him is small price to pay bc he never pays it. It's not his budget getting stretched thin. It's not his kids getting shipped off to war. They're too busy cashing in on business deals w/Middle Eastern despots"

Luttig: Every single time Donald Trump opens his mouth or takes an action, the American people are forced to go into court and litigate. That’s the tragic place America finds itself in today. It is only the Supreme Court that is standing in the way of the American people saving their country.

I’m telling y’all we could use more of that energy on this side of the pond. Decorum doesn’t work with Republicans who are steamrolling norms and daring Dems to fight back. 📌 Australian Greens Senator Nick McKim accuses his own government of “complicity” in what he calls an “illegal US-led war.”

Buttigieg: "Trump's political operation was raising money off images at a dignified transfer. Any politician who does that has no business leading American troops into war. If the president is willing to raise campaign funds over the bodies of America's war dead, he's unfit to be commander in chief"

Coons: "Right now, the clearest winner from this war in Iran is Russia. It's stunning that President Trump is on the phone with Vladimir Putin and spending more time consulting with him than he is with Congress and the American people."

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE. In their remarks, neither Pete Hegseth nor Dan Caine this morning addressed the girls school that was bombed. They did not get A SINGLE QUESTION about it from people they called on in the room loaded with right-wing hacks.

MAGA is the most toxic, hollow, phony, grifty, obnoxious, fraudulent, culty, soulless political movement in US history built on lies, hate, paranoia and greed. And as it unravels, so many rats will claim they were never really on the ship.

New on MS NOW: The war with Iran is costing the U.S. an estimated $1 billion a day, according to two congressional sources with knowledge of the matter. Based on that estimate, the U.S. has spent at least $5 billion on the war since it began on Feb. 28.

Zero Republicans call for Benghazi-style hearings. No rightwing media outrage. Republicans dined off of 4 dead Americans in Benghazi for a decade, and yet 3 dead Americans at the hands of a GOP president who promised no new wars gets no pushback. Fuck these fake outrage ghouls.
