- Cartoon by @adamzyglis.bsky.social. Our democracy is only as strong as a piece of paper…
- Sen. Ron Johnson: “It’s a mistake to do one big beautiful bill. We’re actually going to add to the deficit… It’s not a big beautiful bill. That’s called rhetoric. It’s mislabelling. It’s false advertising.”

- Is this even a real question after these first 100+ days....MOST ABSOLUTELY..🤚🤚🤚
- 250 years ago, Americans rejected a mad king. On June 14, we’re taking to the streets again for a nationwide day of defiance to say NO KINGS. Over 600 events are planned in all 50 states to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

- I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal. I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.

- Oh absolutely! @alyankovic.bsky.social is brilliant musically and lyrically, and the fact that he’s hilarious sometimes makes people forget his level of pure creative talent. Long overdue! comhttps://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/john-mulaney-weird-al-yankovic-deserves-rock-hall-1235969863/

- Republicans would’ve shut down the government, stormed CNN, and called it “Jetgate.” But Trump takes a $400M jet from Qatar that’ll cost taxpayers $1 billion to retrofit—and they’re like, “free plane.” 🤡
- He knows Trump. WTF did he EXPECT TO HAPPEN?????
- Donald Trump appreciates the camels and the perfect marble. How do I know? He said so. The man is an ass-clown.

- One of Trump’s imported voters from South Africa was caught spreading antisemitic hate online. In a now-deleted April 2023 post, X user @charlkleinhaus wrote that Jews were “untrustworthy,” “a dangerous group,” and “not God’s chosen.”

- In case you needed another reason to eat ice cream.
- Saluting and promoting the Saudis and their murderous Dictator MBS whilst accepting $400M luxury jets as bribery gifts is immoral, criminal and treasonous AF.
- Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen and others were tackled by security, then dragged out of today’s HHS budget hearing. RFK Jr’s response was to snicker.
- SPRINGSTEEN, on tour in the UK: “.. "In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration." @variety.com variety.com/2025/music/n...
- Fuck the Missouri GOP.
- I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president. Shame.
- Is the Corruption tour of the Middle East over yet? #TrumpIsCorruptAF
- This is just one big heist. The Trump regime is a wildly corrupt and criminal enterprise.
- I was picked up this evening by an Uber driver who had to get gas (?) then started pumping gas when the car engine was on (??) and was about to put diesel into his little Mazda before I pointed out that was a bad idea (???). Suffice it to say I asked him to cancel. Got the vibe he had barely driven.

- House Republicans are screwing seniors with the “big, beautiful bill.” Does anyone in the GOP care enough about some of our most vulnerable citizens to stand up against it?
