- "If Donald Trump were a country, he’d be Qatar." @davidmastio.bsky.social totally nails this: They're both morally flexible, they both stiff workers, they both hired Pam Bondi as a lobbyist, and tons more biting parallels that are a joy to read. 😂 www.charlotteobserver.com/opinion/arti...
- "The College of Cardinals has done what the Democratic Party leadership could not. They gave the world a vision of the other America: the strong, competent, and compassionate America." Chicagoan @eisendrath.net on the pope and the president. edwineisendrath.substack.com/p/american-p...
- The vote of no confidence in RFK Jr. should be 100-0, if there is a vote. Either way, glad to see this from @alsobrooks.senate.gov. Thanks, senator.
- A new formal resolution from Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD) seeks a "sense of the Senate that Secretary of Health & Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr does not have the confidence of the Senate or the American people to faithfully carry out the duties of his office" www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
- "Health" secretary RFK Jr. swims in bacterial waters, showing off his physique and showing America what NOT to do. Like when Trump looked straight at the sun during a solar eclipse. (What is WRONG with these people, part million...) www.washingtonian.com/2025/05/12/r...
- Trump's first-term corruption seemed huge, but it's already been dwarfed by the ongoing, unchecked festival of domestic and foreign corruption four months into in his second term. Blame the Supreme Court and the Republican Congress. My latest at @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-unqu...
- The Supreme Court opened the way to this and the rest of the massive corruption by dismissing 2 emoluments cases against Trump in 2021. One more reason of many that this court will live in infamy. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...
- So, who are we gonna believe? 🎁 Gift link: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05...
- "Anti-science, anti-safety, and anti-American."
- @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social looks at unconventional media types, from Joe Rogan to John Oliver, who are spreading immigration horror tales to audiences beyond the usual. Every mention counts and maybe even helps. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
