- The president's fully liquefied brain is leaking out his ears daily and Democrats and the media are still focused on apologizing for not talking enough about how old Joe Biden is
- the 90s were a wild time. if i told you how many magazines there were you wouldnt even believe me

- Sassy was downright foundational for tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of us. It comes up in conversation way more often than you'd expect for a teen magazine from 30 years ago. (My sister in law and I just talked about it on Sunday!)

- “Historic heat wave will make South Texas hotter than the Sahara Desert” San Antonio (me 🙋🏽♀️) is expected to reach up to 107°. This is unprecedented, even for TX. Who knows on any given day if our grid will hold. And the Trump regime wants to eliminate FEMA?? 👉🏽 www.expressnews.com/san-antonio-...

- More Texans than New Yorkers voted Harris/Walz Every state is purple
- WTH? Did I miss something?
- One thing the US has never stopped manufacturing is white supremacists and they're the last thing we need to be importing
- There's an AskReddit thread tonight about "saddest celebrity deaths." Scrolled down until I saw Phil Hartman and realized that his murder was the first celebrity death I learned about on the internet rather than offline. Honestly overwhelming to reflect on how much the world has changed since then
- Cats are girls and dogs are boys and they mate and when they have a baby if it’s a girl it’s a cat and if it’s a boy it’s a dog.
- Yes, but I also somehow became convinced that foxes were half dog/half cat creatures

- "It’s reached the point where I spend more time engaging with undesirable, messy, uncreative, and soul-draining texts from Democratic strangers running for office than I do texts from friends and colleagues whom I actually know and like." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/democrats-...
- Well said. Over the past ten years the asks have just kept growing from candidates and PACs I've never heard of. I've received whiny and/or aggressive texts as late as 11:45 pm and as early as 5:30 am. It is such an enormous turnoff that I can't believe they keep escalating instead of backing off.
- Once again... WHO IS PERFORMING THE DUTIES OF THE PRESIDENT? Because it isn't the guy people voted for.
- There’s high on your own supply and then there’s fried on your own supply.
- Ok I don't know who Bishop is but he can go fuck himself forever. "Worse than 9/11." Go to hell, you smarmy disgusting piece of shit.
- I cannot believe that 1) my wedding is in the New York Times 2) they didn't mention the many Star Trek references at my wedding Ya girl walked down the aisle as a string quartet played the DS9 theme 😁 and they did the TNG theme when we recessed as husband & wife! 🥰 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/s...
- *gasp* your dress is so beautiful And that picture in front of the skyline is stunning
- the thing that angers me the most is that i know my heart and my soul have been so hardened and damaged by the last decade that they’ll never fully recover. certain levels of peace and happiness just aren’t really available to me anymore and probably never will be again.

- Oh wow, yes. I do feel robbed. Something really precious was stolen from me and there will never be justice for that.
- The things I always treasured most about myself were that I was endlessly hopeful and endlessly forgiving, and I'm neither of those things anymore. The past ten years have fundamentally changed the person I am for the worse and I don't know how to fix it.
- Pro Tip: Don’t fly through Newark.
- That's always been good advice tbh
- I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark. I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.
- I'm also outraged but I'm a nobody in Texas. You are the governor of New Jersey, maybe you have more options than strongly worded condemnations available to you

- 🎶 criming 9 to 5 what a way to get the grift in 🎶
- "What did they do?" -- Trump has no idea what he's signing and has to have it explained to him
- How long will this country keep pretending this Weekend at Bernie's situation is normal I'm old enough to remember it being an Extremely Big Deal when a very elderly president seemed to have declined; it's interesting that this is no longer a matter of concern, just like it wasn't with Reagan
- There’s no coming back from this.
- Nazi goon squad
- Breaking: Newark, New Jersey Mayor Ras Baraka (D) has just been arrested by the Trump administration after he was protesting outside of an ICE facility.
- Arresting judges and mayors. Great fucking country we've got
- This post is such a rich text 1) Trump is clearly making it up as he goes. There's no plan 2) He barely knows what's happening in his own administration 3) Posting something like this publicly speaks to the complete decision-making dysfunction that we also see in Signalgate
- I find it amazing that the President of the United States tells us directly, pretty much every day, that he is out of the loop and other people are performing the duties of the presidency and the entire mainstream media is like "aw isn't he funny 🤗 that's our trumpy, what a kidder"
- Leavitt: "I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service."
- He's spent 13 weekends at his tacky Florida resort and 24 days golfing, all on the taxpayer dime, during his 109 days in office so far
- "Everyone I Don't Like Is a Secret Trans" is the absolute weirdest and worst conspiracy theory I've ever encountered. These people's brains are 100% broken.
- Wait…so the rich could be paying their fair share of taxes, but they don’t because liberals scream ‘read my lips’?
- "which I and others would graciously accept" the fuck you would
- The National Institutes of Health will partner with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to create a database of Americans with autism, using insurance claims, medical records and smartwatch data.
- Creepy and very frightening Actual Nazi Shit
- It's honestly fascinating to watch the rightwing response to Pope Leo XIV. Normally, this guy would be greeted with enthusiasm. He's solid conservative who grew up in the Midwest. The first American pope. But he follows Christ's teachings on migrants and refugees. So, they're irate. Fascinating.
- They sound positively deranged pointing at a Pope and yelling about woke Marxism. I agree it's fascinating; it's such a good demonstration of how far they've moved to the extreme fringe reactionary right.
- p.s. "eying" is not incorrect, but that doesn't mean you have to use it e y e i n g
- I had no idea "eying" was acceptable and now that I do know, I strongly disapprove

- “When it comes to .. raw milk, I want to be free to form a relationship with a local farmer, look him in the eyes, pet his cow, and then decide if I feel safe to drink the milk from his farm.” — Casey Means, Trump’s latest surgeon-general nominee. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
- Ok, but I want to go to a supermarket and purchase pasteurized milk that is tested and quality controlled

- Of all the things that have made me feel old, nothing has made me feel older than Jimmy Fallon, who incidentally is two years older than I am, gleefully introducing Shakira and Wyclef Jean for a "special 20th anniversary performance" of "Hips Don't Lie"
- Walz: We don’t need to run government like a business, because we’re not in the profit-making business. We’re in the business of improving lives and looking toward the future. And second, this guy has a proven track record of being an absolute failure.
- I'm all in on any combination of Pritzker-Walz-AOC 2028
- REPORTER: Is your administration sending migrants to Libya? TRUMP: I don't know. You'll have to ask Homeland Security
- Why doesn't the president know anything that's being done by his administration? Shouldn't reporters be asking about that like all the fucking time? Do any other questions besides "so who's actually the acting president" even matter?
- EXCLUSIVE: Senate Democrats are unveiling a sweeping new proposal to ban presidents, lawmakers and their families from issuing or endorsing crypto assets.
- I mean it's already Constitutionally prohibited but sure, this'll stop them
- My Navy told me the Red Sea keeps swallowing its planes so I asked how many planes it has and it said it just goes to Lockheed Martin and gets a new plane afterwards so I said it sounds like it's just feeding planes to the Red Sea and the defense secretary started crying
- Amazing, woke up the dogs laughing 😂

- In my younger days I worked in a children's home. At night after the kids were in bed the staff gathered in the hallway and folded laundry. There was a nurse named Zelda who had a mysterious technique for perfectly folding fitted sheets. The rest of the staff was convinced that she was a witch.
- My mom possessed this wizardry! I asked her so many times to teach me and she'd just laugh at me! 🧙♀️ 😂
