There is always pushback when celebrity's are hailed in high regard but l consider these people as gifts ie Dolly Parton,Bruce Springsteen, Rob Reiner, Bono,Morgan Freeman,ChefJose Andres as some of best people but Mandy and Kathryn are 2 of my most favorite beautiful people ever! ♥️

Yes, but in the meantime, the pro-democracy billionaires need to step up their game. It's all hands on deck, and you can't stand by hoarding life jackets as the ship is sinking.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Just 10 people have already poured over $1 BILLION into this year’s midterm elections. 90% has gone to Republicans. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

To be fair, the place he's chosen to deposit his head is quite dark.

JD Vance: "I've not seen a single shred of evidence that Donald Trump participates or sanctions in that corruption ... I've not once seen evidence that Donald Trump has enriched himself"

Not to worry, MAGAts. I'm sure immediately after, Dear Leader will post an 'SI' video of the execution with Hasan not in a wheelchair, and itself shooting him with an RPG.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "I think streaming the execution might have been a strong deterrent for the World to witness how America deals with Terrorists & SCUM like Hasan but, many very good & well meaning people would rather not watch...He will die, as scheduled, by firing squad, but this event will not be streamed."

Why? Is it going to have a giant granite bullseye on the roof?

Trump: "Does anybody want to see a great work of art, a great thing of beauty? The helipad. It's gotten unbelievable architecture reviews. But that's nothing compared to what's being built right there. The roof of the ballroom."

Now that Kimberly Guilfoyle is out, will you all please stop posting photos of her? My poor heart can’t take the jump scares. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

🚨 BREAKING: Kimberly Guilfoyle is OUT as Trump's ambassador to Greece, resigning amid a cloud of scandals and controversy. Guilfoyle, who was handed the diplomatic post after her relationship with Donald Trump Jr. ended, is now making an embarrassing exit from the regime.

Kimberly, meet Bus. Bus, Kimberly.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: On Guilfoyle, she was almost a member of your family. How surprised were you to learn about these allegations? TRUMP: No, she wasn't a member of my family. She I guess dated my son a long time ago.

Talarico should sue Musk for $1.776 trillion. We’ll call it, “Getting Talafreakoed”.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Elon Musk elevated a false conspiracy theory about Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico over the weekend, lifting a fringe claim concerning the Texan’s mental health to the forefront of users’ X feeds.

So, not “very often”, but ‘often’. How often? And since you’re a celebrity, do you ever reach out and grab them? They let you do that, you know.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump on Jon Husted: "I don't do this with men very often. I started examining his body, because I didn't know he was a great athlete ... I looked at his ass"

In conclusion, I’d just like to say, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”

😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan

The question is: Other than an insignificant amount of diesel fuel, what else *cough* *election interference* *cough* is Putin promising to deliver?

CNN@cnn.com

Trump claims Russia and Ukraine have agreed to what he described as an "energy ceasefire." The announcement comes days after Trump announced a deal with Putin for the US to buy Russian diesel fuel. https://cnn.it/4jhSEar

Dum[b] people do this to sound smart. “She has the best words some of the biggest. I know big words the biggest words even bigger than hers. Nobody in the history of the world knows bigger words than me. I can’t think of any right now but believe me they’re big the biggest words that ever bigged.”

Florida Chris@chrislongview.bsky.social

this version knows multisyllabic words!

I am staunchly against the death penalty, but any sick fuck who watches the livestream of an execution should be similarly removed from civilized society.

Medicare Part B premiums for 2026 total $2,434.80. Assuming the orange ogre’s bribe extends to Blue states, $90 wouldn’t cover two week’s worth of groceries.

CNN@cnn.com

President Trump said he will give around 20 million senior citizens $90 each to help pay for their Medicare Part B premiums, marking his latest effort to dole out funds to certain Americans weeks before the midterm elections. https://cnn.it/4ytSUHZ

Hegseth: "It's worth saying again so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that -- no fatties no trannies no beardos no weirdos no wimps no radicals. Just warriors."

Trump administration asks Supreme Court to allow restrictions on transgender people in prison - Reuters “…part of his crackdown on the rights of transgender people” Being transgender is not a crime. This is not a “crackdown”. This is an all-out assault on trans people’s human rights. Do better

The infamously litigious squatter in the White House claims the media do nothing but lie about it. So, why hasn't it sued them for defamation, as it has in the past? Could it be for the same reason it has never sued anyone who says it raped children? Could it be that the so-called lies are truths?

AI is a trans DEI drag queen that overstayed its visa, competes on the girls swim team, uses women's toilets, wants universal healthcare, a living-wage, opposes the Gaza genocide, knows climate change is real, and believes in human rights for all humans, not just the ones you say your god chose Go!

Jennifer Shin - WTAF@jennifershin.bsky.social

I think @darrigomelanie.bsky.social said everything that needs to be said.

By the way, a sitting Senator admitting he's not smart enough to do the job of protecting his constituents from actual threats to their lives, and freedom is disqualifying. Then again, perpetrating the largest fraud on Medicare in history should be disqualifying as well, but here we are.

ff45*47* f*cked children (see the Trump-Epstein Files). JD f*cked furniture (allegedly). Kash f*cked animals (maybe?, possibly?, hopefully not). Which begs the question: What the f*ck was RFK Jr. doing with all that roadkill? Enquiring minds [don’t really] want to know.

Guy who committed the largest fraud on Medicare in history, and should be in prison says, "What?".

Rick Scott: "With regard to destroying mankind, these companies need to do the right thing on their own. We're not going to get smart enough to regulate them. We're not going to get something done up here."

Or, and hear me out on this, it thinks Americans are addicted to bananas, and it plans to partner with the banana cartels to create a banana black market so it can bomb more fishing boats claiming they’re smuggling bananas while letting bananas into the country via ‘legal’ border crossings.

"Secretary of War, Pete, "Don't call me 'Kegsbreath'", Hegseth sending the USS Abraham Lincoln to 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Thailand'* is the Dolly Parton tribute we didn't know we needed." ~The New York Times, probably

Reuters@reuters.com

After a long deployment in the Middle East, a US Navy aircraft carrier will dock in Thailand's ‌resort city of Pattaya this week, raising hopes of an economic boost, even as local authorities cracked down on parts of the sex tourism destination reut.rs/3SqTHdg

*Pattaya, a fishing village partly transformed into a tourism centre on the back of U.S. servicemen seeking succour during the Vietnam War "[S]eeking [succor]" is an odd turn of phase. Don't know if the Virgin Mary, aka Our Lady of Prompt Succor, would approve, but Mary Magdalene might (allegedly)

Quick question: Why didn't you try unleashing this "economic D-Day" BEFORE your president* started his idiotic war which has killed 18 service members, wounded at least 756 others, and has resulted in an economic D-Everyday for millions of American families?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

an out of breath and frantic-sounding Bessent compares what the US is doing economically to Iran to D-Day

Given the plan was successfully executed, I rate this statement: TRUE. Congratulations. This could be the first true statement it’s given this term.
