Map of Percentage of transgendered Americans. Just leave the less than 2% of people from each state alone & let them live their lives. MAGA obsession with this group of people tells you a lot about the fetish porn they watch.

Wondering why unsportsmanlike conduct happens, then remembering that POTUS created & reinforces (on a daily basis) the permission structure to hate & inflict violence upon those unlike you, even if they’re an opposing sports team. Disgusting & unAmerican behavior. apple.news/ApWEhwl0YRa-...

apple.newsSouth Carolina fans storm field after Tennessee upset. Then things get ugly — USA TODAYSouth Carolina's field storm after upsetting Tennessee turned chaotic, with videos showing heated confrontations between Vols players and fans.

Having watched Pence in his district & home state as Governor (from an adjacent media market), you could have never convinced me that in the year of our lord 2026 that MIKE PENCE would be a voice of reason on foreign relations that I would totally agree with…but here we are, and here he is.

ICYMI, great statement by former VP Mike Pence about Trump's betrayal of Ukraine. Scandal there's no one else left in Republican Party able to say it out loud.

JD admitting to everything the GOP will do to steal this election. Every accusation is an admission of guilt with these cretins.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Vance: "They are ruthless. They will do whatever they need to do, right up to cheating and right up to lying. And right up to putting somebody on the ballot who has no reason to be there other than to help them steal an election."

Absolutely nobody is copying our American horror story.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "We had our country that was a joke, that was laughed at. And now we have a country that's emulated. Everybody is looking at us. Europe wants to copy us. Everybody wants to copy us."

Narrator: The President absolutely positively never ever did this. Not event a little bit.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Marco Rubio: "From the very beginning, President Trump has made abundantly clear that the issue of Greenland is not about territorial conquest."

Ron White for Governor of Texas. He’ll stop them jacking with your marijuana.

Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social

Ron White to Joe Rogan: Talarico didn't cost this state $6 million in fines and lawsuits, and that happened with Ken Paxton. Guess who paid that $6 million? You and me paid the $6 million for his bribery. His own party impeached him. He's a criminal. He's a piece of shit.

1/3rd of Americans approve of a rapist with dementia running the country (further into the ground).

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

CNN: "The president's overall approval rating now stands at just 34%. That matches his career low following the January 6 insurrection."

1. We capitulated 2. Iran isn’t making concessions 3. We‘re buying Iranian oil.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Trump: "The war is going very well. As you know, we're winning by a lot. Iran is making very big concessions."

Don’t threaten We The People with a Good time Abigail!

FOX: This Marist poll shows POTUS not exactly firing on all cylinders when it comes to approval of the economy. 60% disapproving, 33% approving, which is 3 points lower than Biden at his worst WH SPOX ABIGAIL JACKSON: If people trusted these polls, President Trump wouldn't be in office right now

In Florida, sheriffs and prosecutors who don’t do their job can be terminated by the governor. VA LEG: Give Your governor the same power & get the VA natl guard on standby.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

This is bad. At least 9 county prosecutors in pro-Trump areas of Virginia have now openly declared that they won't enforce the assault weapons ban that the Dem state legislature recently passed. It's a MAGA nullification movement. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2114...

Remind me again who’s polling at 27% on handling of the economy? Oh yeah, TRUMP. Most Americans want affordability & all the President can do is call it a “hoax”.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Paxton: "We need to listen to Donald Trump. What he's trying to accomplish, most Americans want."

Look up the Adolf Hitler Fund of German Trade and Industry. June 1, 1933. A slush fund administered by Bormann to reward party loyalists including those who committed violence. Now read the details of Trump's $1.8 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund. Take your time. The architecture is the same.

Indeed: Those killed in the Pentagon’s ongoing extrajudicial boat strikes appreciate how outrageous such activity is.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Marco Rubio: "Right now you have a country who is unlawfully, criminally, and illegally taking possession of an International waterway and blowing up commercial vessels. I don't know if people appreciate how outrageous this is."

Replying to @paleofuture.bsky.social

Fox News compares Bluesky to energy weapons: "China and Russia classify—in the same grouping as pulsing and sonar type weapons that sort of impede the brain—these types of digital platforms and algorithms because they attribute it to a judgment impairment. A softening of your literal brain tissue."

So now we know why the Sec of the Navy was fired. He refused illegal orders, THESE SPECIFIC ILLEGAL ORDERS!

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "I have ordered the Navy to shoot and kill any boat, small boats though they may be (Their naval ships are ALL, 159 of them, at the bottom of the sea!), putting mines in the Strait of Hormuz. There is to be no hesitation. Additionally, our mine 'sweepers' are clearing the Strait right now"

Trump has late stage dementia, change my mind. Only someone with dementia Or his sycophants would declare him “ extraordinarily brilliant”. The language on the ballot was clear — Trump’s dementia, rotted brain cant understand something millions of voters did.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: “A RIGGED ELECTION IN VIRGINIA! All day long Republicans were winning until the very end when, of course, there was a massive ‘Mail In Drop!’ … I am an extraordinarily brilliant person, and even I had no idea what the hell they were talking about … Let’s see if the Courts will fix this”

Translation: Fuck Off JD Vance.

Christopher Hale@christopherjhale.bsky.social

BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology. This is a serious escalation.

This is how WWIII starts. It may very well look like Pearl Harbor but in the middle of the Gulf of Oman.

Olga Nesterova@onestpress.onestnetwork.com

Chinese Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun: "We have trade and energy agreements with Iran; we expect others not to interfere in our affairs. The Strait of Hormuz is open to us."

Real journalists keep asking questions like this until they get non-bullshit answers.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

NBC: Under intl law, hitting civilian infrastructure is prohibited. Why is POTUS threatening war crimes? LEAVITT: POTUS has made it quite clear to the Iranian regime their best move is to make a deal or else N: Which objectives would destroying a desalination plant help? LEAVITT: Haley, go ahead

The mask is completely off. You can’t meet these people in the middle. We’re not working toward the same goals. They hate America. They hate democracy. They hate freedom. And they hate you.

DONALD TRUMP PLANS TO DEPLOY ICE AGENTS TO SUPPORT TSA OPERATIONS AT AIRPORTS AMID STAFFING SHORTAGES, A MOVE CRITICIZED BY LAWMAKERS INCLUDING CHUCK SCHUMER OVER SAFETY AND CIVIL LIBERTY CONCERNS.

Yes! Act like it!

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

In my grandpa’s last months of functioning, he bought everyone socks every time he/grandma went to a store. Dollar General, Walmart, Target, CVS, or Marshalls. The man would come back with socks from a Circle K if they sold them. This is dementia decompensation, and we’re nearing the later stages.

They do not care about Americans in the Middle East. They do not care about American servicemembers in theater. All they care about is betting on this shit on @polymarket.bsky.social & enriching themselves with insider trading.

Leavitt on reports that Russia is sharing intelligence with Iran to help them target US assets: "Whether or not this happened, frankly, it does not really matter"

Let Donnie transfer his war fund from ICE funding.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Here we go again, America. We have to give a President another blank check and give him as much as he wants to shoot unlimited $20 million interceptors at $20,000 drones and if we don’t we are unpatriotic so pay up.

Hell yeah we are.

Governor JB Pritzker@govpritzker.illinois.gov

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

Paging the 5th amendment’s takings clause

Provisions of the Defense Production Act: (it's nationalization of meaningful control without nationalization of ownership that might concern the 5th amendment)

He’s gonna try & indict Obama?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

DOOCY: Barack Obama said that aliens are real. Have you seen any evidence of non-human visitors to earth? TRUMP: Well, he gave classified information. He's not supposed to be doing that. DOOCY: So aliens are real? TRUMP: I don't know if they're real or not. He made a big mistake.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.
