Holy shit. Every single Democrat: This is the message. This right here. This is the whole ass pitch the voters in the weeks before the election.

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

JON STEWART: “So in the FUTURE we WILL use A.I. to cure diseases… but right now it’s mostly murder, surveillance, and surge pricing for the McRib — What a trade! I’m getting the sense you guys might be full of shit.”

Dictator much?

Trump: "We spent more than $2 billion in FEMA funding. You're waiting for some additional funding. I'm gonna get that to you. Now if Michael loses, I'm not sending it." Crowd: *groans*

Trump’s trade policy in one sentence: Screw American farmers, then import what they grow from somewhere else 🥴 Iowa Farmers Union President Aaron Lehman: “It puts us at a huge disadvantage. It’s a huge move in the wrong direction.”

Ossoff: It’s been amazing to watch this White House melt down over this all week. And about Natalie Harp, these White House staffers are adults, public officials paid by the taxpayer, with immense power in positions of public trust.

Secretary McMahon just publicly confirmed that she will reverse some student debt payment credit debtors had received toward Public Service Loan Forgiveness. This is essentially reinstating student loans—which is illegal.

MAGA: 2016 was fair! (Obama was President) 2020 was rigged! (Trump was President) 2024 was fair! (Biden was President) They’re going to rig 2026! (Trump is President) Why is Donald Trump so fucking bad at securing elections according to MAGA?

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

They're using Rhino Pipeliner 5000, which freezes as sprayed-on curds almost exactly as it hits the surface. Won't flow out, flatten, and self-level like standard epoxy or paint would. Under standing water, the orange peel texture is a perfect scaffolding for algae, bacteria, and general bio scum

Sen. Jack Reed: "Reuters is reporting that part of the deal is $24 billion in sanctions relief for the Iranians. So this is not a 'we win and you do what we say.' This is, 'how can we open up the straits? What will it cost us?'"

It's everything we've come to expect from the Orange Taco and his minions

In other words: the U.S. gives Iran everything it wants immediately, including billions in cash, for a pinky promise to negotiate a future deal on the things the U.S. wants

Inflation hit 4.2% in May, the highest rate in three years. Meanwhile, wages grew by just 3.4%. It gets worse. Gas prices alone have risen a whopping 40.5% (!) since last year, largely due to Trump's war on Iran. And grocery prices have spiked 2.7% on the year. "New Golden Age."

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

This is easily the saddest time in American history. The absolute worst people are systematically destroying the country, and our system is completely failing to stop them.

Sean Duffy getting major corporations to give him $1 million each to fund his stupid reality TV show when he should have been doing his job is really the perfect metaphor for this administration.

Trump just broke the record for the largest weekly release ever from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve — even bigger than Biden’s after Russia invaded Ukraine. At this rate, we’re on pace to run out by September.

“All mankind in our age have split up into units, they all keep apart. . .He heaps up riches by himself and thinks, ‘How strong I am now and how secure,’ and in his madness he does not understand that the more he heaps up, the more he sinks into self-destructive impotence.” — Fyodor Dostoyevsky

But, regardless of how this end: Trump is making it his singular goal to steal our money for a golden ballroom, making Marie Antoinette into a populist by comparison, and Democrats should tear him to pieces over it.

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”
