Tax the churches is one of the first things to do when we over throw our GOP Oppressors.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

This fake Christian grifter funnels off over $700,000 from just *one* of his many "charities." And he pays no taxes--because he's a "Christian" who doesn't delve into politics. TAX THE CHURCHES.

And no one with any agency or power is going to do anything about the treason.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

You own all of the “mainstream” media and are actively buying the little you don’t own.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Mike Johnson offers a conspiracy theory to explain away his party's dire polling: "I believe there's a concerted effort between Democrats and the mainstream media that's openly biased in their favor to discourage the Republican side"

I think we need to all stop down on everything and deal with this. In a normal world, the news would be “Trump Breaks Law to Support Russia” and Congress lining up to stop him.

Ukraine's survival requires an anti-Putin, anti-invasion Congress

My most favorite show as a you lad. My cousin and I WERE Napoleon Solo and Ilia Kuriyaken.

September 22, 1964: "Man from U.N.C.L.E." premieres starring Robert Vaughn and David McCallum on NBC: open channel D.

I am not fully informed on the WNBA. I do read the stories about the local Dallas Wings. I don’t see anywhere that anyone on any of the teams are transgender. There are no stated plans to allow transgenders. Not sure what they are protesting.

This post is unavailable.

So, what are we all doing to mark the beginning of the end tonight at 8:00 pm EDT (7:00 pm CDT)? Gather a little early and get some nachos and a couple of beers? Meet at the driving range and hit a few balls? Buying all available toilet paper just in case? Will Netflix livestream?

I am not an expert in military strategy, but it seems that lifting sanctions on oil from the country you are fighting is not a good option.

As usual, this is a very white group.

"Does everybody like the music?" -- Guns & Roses plays in the background as Trump and Vance pose with the "Board of Peace"

Share this widely. Maybe people who don’t get worked up over people getting beaten and killed will respond to a PUPPY BEING KICKED BY ICE. A FUCKING PUPPY.

Evan Hurst@evanhurst.substack.com

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer. (I didn’t take the video, the dog’s person did)

So, we are not dying fast enough now?

Dr Oz: "Yet many of the people in these hospice centers, they have 100% survival rates. No one dies. They're not dying. They're fakely put on these lists."

We are going to all have to go to the streets to stop this. I don’t know exactly how it will work. I am almost 70 years old and not very athletic and would not do well in jail. But I fear there is no other choice.

Rob Delaney@robdelaney.bsky.social

This is terrible. It is also an opportunity for certain journalists to finally speak up with a *fraction* of the courage the people of Minneapolis have shown. It is also instructive that Lemon is Black. Woe/pox etc upon white journalists who don’t freak out about this.

I watched Station Eleven on HBO over the weekend. It was one of the best limited series I have seen in a long time. A very different look at post apocalypse. Highly recommended.

Maybe this is why they are so fucked up. They are all in sleep deprived psychosis.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Lutnick: "The president sleeps less than me. I sleep 5 hours a night. The president sleeps 4 hours a night! And he's working all the time. He calls me late at night, he wants to talk about the day. He's on it all the time. It is the most impressive thing you've ever seen."

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve been to (all multiple times across 50 years): Little Feat The Who Paul Simon (solo and with Art) Steely Dan Bugs Henderson ( RIP)

Very good news. I love Noah Haley. Legion, Fargo and AE are among my favorites.

The Spaceshipper 🚀@thespaceshipper.com

Unsurprisingly, Alien Earth has been renewed for a second season, which will be filmed near London in 2026. A new overall deal will see showrunner Noah Hawley broaden his scope to all of Disney Entertainment TV, which also includes ABC and Hulu Originals. So more Alien, but probably Fargo too 🤞

In a normal world, the military does not conduct exercise near large population centers and, if they did, there would already be some down the line officers fired and hearings for top brass before Congress tomorrow.

"The U.S. military exercise that shot live-fire artillery rounds over Interstate 5 on Saturday dropped metal shrapnel onto a California Highway Patrol protective services detail for Vice President JD Vance" because the ordnance "detonated overhead prematurely" 🤡 www.latimes.com/california/s...

The granddaughter is here. Daly Rose is her name. She is the first. Her mom is our only child. We live about a block away. As you can expect, we are over the moon with her. The dober is most protective of her little sister and stays close at all times.

I will tune in.

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday. It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever. I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

More knife porn. This latest is a gyuto. The SIL waited over a year for this one because a fire damaged much of Mr Manaka’s studio. He got it a month ago and had to pay a $422 tariff. Thanks to the orange one.

I am 67 years old and grew up working the land in East Texas. Cows, chickens, cotton (I have picked cotton when it was too wet for the tractors), truck farming, flowers. I worked hard to be sure I never have to do that work ever again. Our kids and grand kids cannot and will not do farm work.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

They are going in hard with the video games in the basement line.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Ogles: "The people that are getting off Medicaid are people that shouldn't be on Medicaid to begin with ... it's the loser in his mama's basement playing video games instead of going out and getting a job."

Interesting to see if we accept this blatant lie along with the “won’t increase the deficit” lie for this historic transfer of even more wealth. We may have lost our collective ability to see truth.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Lankford: "People are screaming & saying, 'It's kicking people off Medicaid.' It's not kicking people off Medicaid. It's transitioning from Medicaid to employer-provided healthcare. So yes, we've got 10 mil ppl that are not gonna be on Medicaid, but they are gonna be on employer-provided healthcare"
