We’ve collectively forgotten more Trump scandals in the past eight years than we remember. It’s like Lucy in the candy factory; no matter how hard we try to keep up, they came too fast.

He was actually very clear about what he was going to do. Maybe you should have leveled with your constituents about what you were supporting bsky.app/profile/phil...

Florida GOP Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar to Trump: "Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far ... The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today"

In case you missed what’s happening on Threads: -Michelle Tafoya is so unMinnesotan that she puts her potluck plate in the trash right side up. - . . . she thinks crop art is regular art cut off on the bottom - . . . she’s the reason doves cry #Minnesota

I’m a 55 year old, out of shape woman, with fibro and long covid and I could do around 65% of these activities 🙄

So basically an elaborate field day for kids. How many millions do we think Trump pocketed from this Patriot Games scam?

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

So if I order #OliveGarden from GrubHub, does the driver have to show his ID at the restaurant? Do I have to show my ID to the driver? What if I order it for an underaged babysitter? Can Scalise explain further? 🤔 We are in the opposite of the Age of Enlightenment.

I hope our leaders are cognizant of the fact that Iran is clearly forcing these deployments to Israel on purpose. Going after Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan depletes interceptors that were being used to protect Israel. Now our assets are moving to a less-defended Israel. 🙃

MLB is like the Democratic Party in that they’re deeply concerned about popularity and all their actions seem to be aimed at capturing some mythical person who has never become a baseball fan and will probably never become a baseball fan meanwhile baseball fans are yelling PLEASE JUST PLAY BASEBALL

Hey everyone, just a reminder that I have a book event next week at The Last Bookstore in LA! You should definitely sign up and come hang out and hear me talk about hope in the midst of apocalyptic dystopia (which is clearly not at all relevant to our modern times)

Maybe Tina Peters can ask him to ban fireworks since the state is burning and he obviously doesn’t listen to the people who got him there anymore 🤬

Obama shouts out "those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who braved frigid temperatures, risked their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look our for their neighbors and sometimes for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do"

Remembering the families left behind The ones who heard that knock at the door The ones who gave part of their lives for their country, then carried on. You represent the strength of this nation and we owe it to each of you to do our upmost to ensure your ranks don’t grow 🫶🏻 #MemorialDay

We’re sorry to inform you that your service member was killed in a little blip. 🤬

Trump begins his speech to military moms: "We're in I call it a skirmish. Because that's what it is. We're doing unbelievably well, as we did in Venezuela."

The Democrats sense that they're gonna cruise to midterm victory by doing nothing and offering nothing and are using it as a freebie to punch left to make sure the voters don't get any ideas.

Buttigieg: The purpose of transportation is to connect. But there are so many cases where transportation was used to divide We have the phrase "Wrong side of the tracks." That tells you everything you need to know about how a piece of infrastructure can be used as a dividing line

Our national security should probably not hinge on someone responding, “Oh yeah? Prove it!”

Trump: "Somebody said, 'Oh, he doesn't have a plan.' I have the best plan of all, but I'm not going to tell you what my plan is."

RFK JR: One time, Trump grabbed a placemat, turned it over, took a Sharpie, and drew a perfect map of the Middle East. Then he marked the troop strength of every country along each border on that map. It challenged a lot of the assumptions I had been told about him.

Springsteen: Well, this past winter federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city. Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America. And this reactionary nightmare and these invasions of American cities will not stand.

Walz: Welcome to the freest state in the nation—a state where you love who you choose to love, a state where you make your own healthcare decisions, a state where you worship—or not—according to your own beliefs, and maybe most importantly, a state where everyone belongs.

Walz: We will never leave the side of our Somali Minnesotans. Here's our pledge to you, our Somali Minnesotans, your great grandchildren will still be here when that orange clown is in the dustbin of history.

The “good” people on the other side of the aisle are ok with us being killed in the streets by government goons. So no, Senator, they aren’t good, they’re controlled. Whether it be by fear or money, they are far from “good” Signed, A Tired But Still Pissed and Fighting Minnesotan #ICE

Booker: "There are really good people in the Senate on both sides of the aisle, and I have these private conversations with my colleagues about what's wrong. But they're afraid or unwilling to say these things publicly. And that is the crisis that we're in. It's a crisis of conviction."

Trump introduces Markwayne Mullin: "As the only Native American -- I didn't know that. Huh? Let me look at you. Uhh. I think that's alright."

Thank you, Pete!! Oh wait, you said “Iranian” not “Minnesotan. #Minnesota

Hegseth: "The Iranian people showed a lot of courage in those protests, and the Iranian regime was revealed for what it is in how they reacted to that"

As insane as this sounds, there is a very dedicated portion of our electorate who put this above all else. It’s been brewing since the first term, and solidified with the re-election. My hometown is in Bobert’s district. They truly believe he is the way to salvation. Batshit crazy? Yep. Dangerous?

Also yep. True believers now occupying the highest levels of all branches of government? You bet. Anything they do is related to advancing their salvation and the circus peanut is riding the wave.

I’m sorry, what?!
