The fact that the msm has spent more ink on Obama's Cheesecake Factory comment than the credible reports that our president is a serial rapist blows my mind. It should blow yours too.

💙 Happy Birthday to @hillaryclinton.bsky.social, my hero, my inspiration, and the Secretary of State who made department policy allow trans employees at State to live + work as their preferred gender and for citizens to use their preferred gender on passports. Long live this absolute Queen! 💙

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Has a pool reporter ever stood up on behalf of their colleagues when this happens?

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Donald Trump consistently taking the side of pedophiles is almost never talked about as such.

Trump: "What's happened is the press has ganged up on a woman making a horrible statement about her daughter, and I don't why she should be shielded. She said she was a dirty liar ... I say she's fair game."

The next time you complain about the endless deluge of fundraising texts & spam email from Dem campaigns, keep in mind that it would take *40,000* $25 donations to cancel out 1/445th of what Elon Musk has spent this cycle.

Remember that decline represents children who are going hungry and adults who have to skip meals just so they can pay their light bills.

In the wake of unprecedented cuts in last year's Republican reconciliation law, SNAP participation & spending have been falling — and the decline is much deeper than the Congressional Budget Office initially projected. www.cbpp.org/blog/congres...

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

There is nothing that belongs to us, the people, that this administration isn't bumbling and destroying every day.

TRUMP: We gave nothing in exchange for Stephen. We never give anything in exchange for hostages. TRUMP LITERALLY MOMENTS LATER: If I implemented sanctions on Russia, Steven wouldn't be coming out right now.

East Potomac costs $42 to play and hosts thousands of people each year. A lot of the players are beginners. A lot of them don't have that much money. A lot of them are black. This is the course Donald Trump has decided shouldn't exist, and in the past, he's been fairly explicit about why not

Bluesky I know you do not care about golf. But I am telling you that in this specific case, you SHOULD care about golf. I explain in @slate.com what the Trump administration is doing to East Potomac Golf Course in D.C. slate.com/culture/2026...

Ambassador Whitaker on Starlink: "They are a private company. Obviously they have terms of use that are applied to all of their customers, including the Ukrainians. I think it is more of a dispute along those lines than anybody in this admin trying to change how Starshield or Starlink is used."

More proof that Susan Collins is a lying bag of poop. She knew, she voted for him anyway.

DOJ's woeful attempt to disqualify Judge Reyes in the golf course case is rightly DENIED We will see the Trump administration in court bright and early Monday morning on our preliminary injunction motion!

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Part of the answer to "how did we get here?" is that many major journalists—since 1998, Crawford has covered SCOTUS for PBS, ABC, and CBS—are lying bigots. Here Crawford is praising a guy who asked a dumb racist question, glitched out when asked why, then admitted he wanted a Christian theocracy.

These fuckers screamed for 4 years that Biden was asleep at the wheel, couldn’t form a sentence and didn’t know his own name. Now, they’re whining that he’s some grand wizard behind the curtain calling orders for all to adhere. Get the ABSOLUTE fuck outta here.

Anti-abortion politicians are waiting to attack abortion access nationwide until AFTER the midterm elections, because they know their agenda is wildly unpopular at the polls. ⏰️ Vote early! Vote like your rights depend on it. Talk to your friends— every single vote counts.
