Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

im just going to say it: even if donald trump didnt diddle kids he still wouldnt be a good president

It’s essential that you find common ground with Trump supporters. For instance, you know that you have many flaws, and they believe you are less than human. Work with that. —Ezra Klein, tomorrow in the New York Times

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

average Dem strategist: we must focus on bipartisan policies that undercut Republican attacks average Dem voter: having studied the denazification of Germany, we must raze the RNC and leave JD Vance clutching a single wool blanket in a cell after we strip him of everything

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

These two things cannot both be true: 1: throwing a sandwich at a federal officer is a violent assault worthy of prosecution. 2: raiding the Capitol grounds, assaulting police offices & vandalizing federal property in an effort to interfere with an election is a harmless protest worthy of pardons.

Issue-specific targeted checkpoints like DUI checkpoints can be constitutional, but a generalized roust-everyone-for-anything checkpoints are definitely not. There may be an exception for a special purpose to help a career sex pest and rapist evade attention to his connection to a serial pedophile.

Great day for everyone whose 2024 brand move was claiming that Dems were exaggerating how bad Trump would be.

Hey everyone, just a reminder: A little more than a week ago, a Republican terrorist killed two people and injured two more in an effort to kill enough democrats to capture the Minnesota Legislature

Tariffs. Stock market down. Medicaid slashed Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans. National guard and marines deployed in LA. No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine Bombing Iran This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

noem saying thery're going to "liberate" california from its leaders seconds before federal law enforcement restrains and removes one of the state's senators from the room—like what else needs to be said

Or if, at any point in his last 2 years, Joe Biden had ordered the TX National Guard into Houston over Greg Abbott's vociferous objection, under a law requiring him to go "through the governor"? Articles would have been drawn up the same day.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

mayor karen ass

Every fucking ICE agent at these raids looks like he has to buy his own new Truck Nutz every Father's Day because his grown kids are no-contact

This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…

NOBODY WANTS APPLE BUILDING IPHONES HERE YOU IGNORANT FAT TODDLER. Good God you exhausting sloppy goon

16 senate democrats voting for the "sir, wait a second, i don't think your gun has enough bullets in it" act

Sad to hear about the imminent death of Dilbert creator Scott Adams. Say what you will about him, his work had a huge impact on culture. His wry attacks on 90s office culture have been cited as an influence by figures such as Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk and al-Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden

Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.

if Joe Biden had said that he had no idea if he was supposed to follow the Constitution or not, Republicans would have burned the White House to the fucking ground

your child will toil valiantly in the factory. it will be masculine. it will restore our national character. it will make america great again. oh my child? my child will run a lucrative rightwing podcast

Frankly if our news media were doing their fucking jobs everyone would know this already.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

King: listen, if I have to, you know, *prove* stuff against each person I want to deprive of liberty, then I won’t be able to deprive as many people of liberty! American Founders: Exactly. And, just to be clear, we’re going to write this part down.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

I know this is supposed to be racist but it’s actually so funny

If you’re in line to punch RFK Jr in the dick, STAY IN LINE!

“The doctor came up to me after my cognitive exam with tears in his eyes and said ‘Mr. President, sir, we’ve never had a patient who identified every animal cracker before.’”

As someone who got to know a LOT of so-called conservative legal intellectuals, there are a bunch of people who claimed that they were just against tyranny and big government who are extremely silent in the moment.

Statement from Trump on Putin’s Palm Sunday Massacre missile attack that killed at least 34, including several children, and injured another 117 people:
