“We’re not doing this double standard shit anymore… this is a prime example of being able to dish it but not take it. Scott Jennings has built a career out of being a smug, condescending asshole on TV.” @adammockler.com responds to @GeraldoRivera’s absurd defense of Jennings

Sleepy Joe Biden???!!

Says the man who's never met a convict he wouldn't pardon. "President Donald Trump attacked Pope Leo XIV for his criticisms of the US-Israeli war on Iran, calling the leader of the Catholic Church 'WEAK on crime.'"

So, business as usual.

After working with the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal died in the country he spent years of his life helping. The cruelty is endless.

Hello?

Who do Trump officials think drive dump trucks in America? Without immigrants, the day will come when business grinds to a halt in this country. #ICE #immigrants

Bloomberg: Lightning struck the US more than 250 million times in 2025, a 20% jump from the previous year.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

The “we” means “billionaires”.

So true.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

That's assault

About 90 seconds into his presentation on Covid-19 vaccine safety at a closely watched meeting of advisers to the US CDC last month, Dr. Bruce Carleton made a startling revelation: The government grant supporting his research had been abruptly terminated. cnn.it/4mOu2UY?utm_...

so is this the fight against "left-wing terrorism"?

A spray-painted bronze statue titled “Best Friends Forever” showing President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding hands was placed on the National Mall in front of the U.S. Capitol early Tuesday. https://wapo.st/42Dy5vU

So important to make everyone understand this issue.

We need a FULL INVESTIGATION into this ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT on THE PRESIDENT. What LEFT WING ORGANIZATIONS were behind this? Was GEORGE SOROS piloting the other aircraft? KASH PATEL - WE NEED ANSWERS!

For generations doctors have understood that germs — like bacteria or viruses — cause infectious diseases.   Yet we now have an HHS Secretary casting doubt on the germ theory — the foundation of modern medicine. That’s not only unacceptable, it is dangerous. RFK Jr. must resign.

Can we go back to the days when Trump hadn’t been seen for a while and speculation ran rampant that he was dead. Man, I miss those days.

RFK Jr. must be fired.

MAGA does not understand that the joke is on them, and that every accusation against Newsom is a confession about Trump.

The Trump administration is asserting authority to withhold billions of dollars from low-income housing services, education assistance, medical research grants and other programs approved by Congress, according to public documents. wapo.st/3JmudZp

The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize. “What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,” says Jason Stanley, an author who’s leaving the US because of “concerns over fascism.”

As consumers, we need to step up. Cut plastic out of your life, even in small ways, every single day. Always look for an alternative.

Yes, got his ass kicked.

In authoritarian crackdowns, it’s important to randomly ensnare some people whom one would think would be safe, so that everyone is at least a little bit afraid that something could happen to them. The regime scales up its power of intimidation over a much larger group than those directly affected.

Abbott's playing errand boy for the criminal in the White House. Texans deserve better.

Great new piece by @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social and @michaelemann.bsky.social . The CDC shooting dramatically raises the stakes as the war on science takes on a deadly dimension. #resignRFK #episky 🧪 www.americanscientist.org/article/supp...

From a Bloomberg story today: "As a free-market democracy, the US has a capacity for course correction that is missing from China’s state-controlled, single-party system." Seriously? The USA has become every bit the "state-controlled, single-party system" under Trump.

Yes, Trump did that. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

The guy is a convicted sex offender -- did anyone seriously believe his name was NOT in the Epstein files?

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Service Journalism - News you can use. The Big Bad Bill ends Federal tax credits for residential rooftop solar but if you install it by December 31, 2025 you can still get the 30% rebate for the project cost!

Someone please check with ICE to see whether this person is in custody: apple.news/A8kxDBx2pQf2...

The catastrophic flooding in Texas has destroyed communities and devastated families. At least 109 people are dead. Many more are still missing. Jane and I send our condolences to all who have lost loved ones.

More than 270 EPA workers signed a letter on Monday denouncing what they described as the Trump administration’s efforts to politicize, dismantle and sideline the main federal agency tasked with protecting the environment and public health.

Sen. Alex Padilla of California was physically removed from a press event by unidentified agents and handcuffed by an FBI officer after he attempted to ask Kristi Noem a question. The Trump administration is an authoritarian regime.

The Trump admin just approved the expansion of a Montana coal mine tied to cocaine trafficking, bribery, and a faked kidnapping. “This is yet another disastrous decision by an administration that does not respect the rule of law.”- Shiloh Hernandez, Earthjustice Sr Attorney

Republicans want to cut Medicaid, nutrition & education to give a TRILLION dollars in tax breaks to the 1% & large corporations. Now they’re going after Medicare, which would make our broken health care system even worse. Thousands will die unnecessarily. We must stop them.

Really? Are they insane? apple.news/ABhX6RUFTQ6m...

Love may not last forever, but your plastic damn spatula will.

Every once in a while, you think you've heard it all. But then some fresh bit of buffoonery shows up and you are entertained by Texas officials once again.

As usual, we're never safe when the Texas Legislature is in session.
