It is journalistic malpractice that major news outlets are not producing 5-alarm-fire reports to warn the public that the president of the United States is out of his mind.

Apparently, you're not allowed to post: “BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted!”

Elon Musk’s DOGE cut the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program, which cost $15 million. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1 billion to combat the screwworm outbreak. Never forget how destructive and downright stupid DOGE was.

NEW: officials inform the court that Trump’s name has been removed from the Kennedy Center.

"Gentlemen, you can't do journalism in here. This is the press room!"

Shout out to the top 5 kings in the world, Martin Luther, Larry, Don, Stephen and Americans don't have a motherfuckin'.

Never in my life have I believed Iran state media over our own government. Until now. That’s not being “unpatriotic,” it’s having a brain that functions.

There have been plenty of muddled and at times outright false justifications offered by presidents for past American wars, but it's something different to have no coherent rationale at all, no comprehensible stated goal, and no meaningful attempt to rally public opinion.

Wow.

Roses are white Violets are white Santa is white America is white Happy Valentine's Day from the Trump administration.

They were eventually allowed one phone call as a thanks for saving the agent’s life. They used it to call their lawyer, who called their state representative, who ultimately got them released on the condition they tell people they were “treated kindly.”

100% this!👇

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

This is nauseating.

Suburbia implementing Trump foreign policy.

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

Goodbye 2025, and good riddance to you. You truly sucked ass. Give us something good, 2026. 🙏🙏Manifest that.🙏🙏

There’s a reason the political right wants to keep people dumb.

Thinking a lot about this moment from literally the first chapter of "1984."

Trump is “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” Let’s all put Rutger Bregman’s words out there, seeing as how the BBC will not … on advice of counsel. bsky.app/profile/rutg...

One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan. I never made it out of the House.

This is my favorite and I was holding it!

“not in the plane crash or sense, but in the medical sense-we’re living through the sudden, ER-style flatlining of the healthy biorhythms of our 249 yr old constitutional order. The problem is that in a single blink of the historical eye, we’ve seen our entire constitutional system simply … stop.”

He means us

Trump turned Jimmy Kimmel into a hero for free speech. He’s about to turn James Comey into a hero for standing up to vindictive political prosecution.

Trump: "We've got a lot of stupid people in this country running things."

I can't remember the details, and can't find them now, for my favorite Robert Redford anecdote, but: When Indecent Proposal was being discussed, someone asked a film critic if she would sleep with Robert Redford for $1 million, and she replied, "Yes, but where would I get the money?"

Exactly this

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

#ProudBlue Pigs are flying & hell froze over because I’m actually cheering on MTG. Wtf?!?! She stood up tall & strong for these survivors. I appreciate her fight in this battle. I hope she does get all of the names & reads them off on the House Floor like she said she would. Let’s go!

Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

it's pretty frustrating how republicans can just spew endless lies about city life with zero repercussions but the moment a dem disparages a pickup truck it's open season

Motherfucking wind farms…

I should be working. Instead, Republicans sent me home to protect pedophiles.

Donald Trump has immunity for all of the crimes he committed while president. Barack Obama does not. by Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, John Roberts, and Clarence Thomas

You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.

Imagine living a life of such depravity that the only way you can avoid prison is to become President and corrupt the entire legal system.
