- Duckworth: "He's accepting a bribe, which is unconstitutional and illegal. And he's gonna accept an aircraft that then is gonna cost taxpayers another billion dollars at a time when he wants to cut funding for Medicaid. It's simple unacceptable."
- Cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social. #TrumpTariffs
- So if Biden being old and out of it was bad, how the f--k do we describe what Trump is now? Catastrophic? For it is orders of magnitude worse.
- For those keeping score at home — Trump’s AG, FBI Director, and chief of staff have all been on Qatar’s payroll. #SwampForceOne ✈️
- RFK says we shouldn’t take medical advice from him? Thanks, Captain Obvious, but also why are you the Secretary of HEALTH and Human Services if we can’t trust you with medical advice?
- KLEPPER: “PBS, you could learn a lesson from this — instead of whining about Trump cutting children’s programming have you thought about offering him a Trump Tower on Sesame Street?” #CorruptionTour2025
- www.propublica.org/article/pam-... What did they stipulate "Grifters Needed" in the Want Ad
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer: “This SAVE Act is one of the most despicable acts of legislation that I’ve ever seen... and it’s not going to pass the Senate. Period.”
- [Not loaded yet]
- AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?
- Dereliction of duty.
- Carl, remind me — businesses love this kind of constant rule changing, right?
- This is utter nonsense Medicaid is a needs based program If any American doesn’t have sufficient resources, they qualify-even if they’re working So if Mike Johnson wants to remove employed, “able bodied young men” from Medicaid, there’s a simple fix Raise the minimum wage But of course-he won’t
- When the pug has decided that you don’t need to work:
- We’ve got “ongoing diplomatic negotiations” with whom exactly?! I’m sure those “negotiations” do NOT include getting Kilmar Abrego Garcia back on US soil…
- UPDATE: The administration filed its Abrego Garcia privilege log under seal, saying public filing could endanger “ongoing diplomatic negotiations.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
- Jake Tapper can take his book and shove it. The end.
- sometimes as a reporter you need to encourage politicians to do a better job hiding their corruption and bribes
- Trump's pledge to raise taxes on the wealthy was not included in his “big, beautiful bill.”
- The North Carolina State Board of Elections has formally certified Democrat Allison Riggs as the winner of a state Supreme Court. Riggs was sworn-in at a brief ceremony in Raleigh. "We won this election more than six months ago, but it was fewer than seven days ago that this race finally ended."

- Amazing news‼️ Well deserved ‼️ Bravo 💐💐💐 Congratulations 🎉 “because the truth is golden" @meidastouch.com
- It sure is something to see team Trump blame Joe Biden for a whole bunch of problems that never occurred while he was president.

- Aaaand there it is.
- I knew he was getting sick and tired of Musk, but I didn’t think he’d go at him on this. bsky.app/profile/atru...
- it’s not corruption unless its grown in the corruption region of france, anything else is just sparkling bribery
- “And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”
- Trump 2.0 is best understood as a crime spree.
- Fired a black person who was qualified, hired a white person with no qualifications whatsoever. The Trump administration in a nutshell bsky.app/profile/axio...
- Trump says Democrats are losers for not getting hundred of millions of dollars in bribes from foreign dictators.
- Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development. Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system. Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.
- HALLELUYAH! Finally, someone has the courage to take on the grifter, antivaxxer, and lunatic RFK Jr. Thank you Senator Alsobrooks.
- You’re resigning?
- The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?
- The corruption here isn’t even my biggest concern. The security risk!?! The security risk is astronomical and totally unfixable. Listening devices? Tracking devices!? Software backdoors!? Intentional AND unintentional!? Unmeasurable risk.

- He's not just lying, he's one of the most inept and unbelievable liars ever. A caricature of a con artist trained at the Trump School of Scamology.
- BREAKING: Pete Hegseth plagiarized 8 different passages in senior thesis at Princeton, with many passages of 10-30+ words verbatim, per Daily Princetonian Princeton has strict policy against plagiarism, often with 1 year suspension He was untruthful then — and untruthful now
- So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street
- The Right has a strange relationship with language. They bastardize DEI, woke, etc to be anything they perceive as being "anti-white". If even only one non-white person out of 1000 benefits they will try to torch it.
- Just amazing: Trump grew angry over a Biden-era program with the word "equity" in its name, so he ended it. But a key part of the program was sending money to red states to expand internet access in rural/MAGA country. Now they might not get it. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1950...
- Trump keeps losing in court
- We received some really great news this week in the case against Donald Trump's scheme to add a proof of citizenship requirement on a federal registration form. I hope you watch and enjoy. youtu.be/ZHMuv3o7Ejw
- Was playing with kids at a cookout. Wrote “power to the people” in sidewalk chalk. Tow headed white boy walks over, reads it silently, nods slowly. “If anybody erases this? I will write it back.” Okay little John Brown, I see you.
- JUST IN: A judge in Md. says Donald Trump's pardon does *not* apply to a Jan. 6 defendant's unrelated conviction for possessing illegal firearms in his home. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
- Sometimes I think about the fact that Donald Trump could be in jail right now instead of the White House and it completely ruins my day.
- The Suspension Clause: 1) Doesn't allow the President to unilaterally suspend habeas, especially when Congress is in session; 2) Applies only to cases of invasion or rebellion (this is quite clearly neither); and 3) *Even then,* applies only "when the public safety may require it." (It doesn't.)
- Just worried he'll disappear a bunch of folks before the courts can respond - like with the AEA which is also pretty clearly unlawful.
- And this is why due process, and requiring the government to justify to a judge *why* they grabbed you off the street and stuck you in jail, matters
- Trump FIRED Dr. Carla Hayden—the first Black woman Librarian of Congress—by EMAIL. The role is supposed to be apolitical…but y’all know he’ll turn ANYTHING into a political attack.
- They’re banning books, attempting to erase history, and are coming for the people protecting it. Let’s be real: a Black woman preserving OUR stories? That was never going to fly with them.
- It’s Furry Friends Friday! ♥️🐾 Lucky is taking in the beach today and looking forward to the weekend.
- Song of the day: youtu.be/miGC2z72zUk?...
- WATCH: Chris Murphy gives a masterclass in how to dismantle the cosplay queen, AKA Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.
