How did we get here? Oh yeah, economic anxiety!

Q: Do you think it's right for the richest man in the world to have so much power over what goes on in a war because Russia and Ukraine? TRUMP: Well, I don't think he does. First of all, he's a very good person. He's not gonna do anything wrong. Elon will never do anything wrong.

Good point, the ‘elites’ are really hanging in there with the despot. Never forget that nb

Really instructive to see, day after day, the public deserting Trump, and elites—tech, corporate, legal, media, think-tank— hanging in there, rationalizing, excusing, and enabling away.

Since there’s an opening for press secretary, I know a great candidate who’s not only a lawyer, but a neurosurgeon, a Grammy-winning recording artist, and the inventor of the Post-It Note.

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

Awkward!!!

Rep. Dave Min@congressmin.bsky.social

The House just overwhelmingly passed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, which imposes sanctions on Russia and the top 5 largest importers of Russian oil. If Trump keeps cutting (illegal) oil deals with Russia, we may just have to start sanctioning ourselves.

Totally normal stuff

Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."

He really is a simpleton

Hahahahaha come on! If you ever wanted a better example of MAGA media presenting an alternate universe to its base, you'd be hard pressed to find one.

This is great from Ossof! Moral clarity

While the world burns, and you pay more for everything, your tax dollars become the royal family’s wealth. Because it pays to be a Trump, especially when the whole world knows daddy's a crook.

Great answer!

El-Sayed on Trump posting image of him & his wife in a restaurant w/ caption "2 DIFFERENT Americas": "He's right. One in which your overlords are 2 people who don't like each other joined in the interest in making billions off of you, or 2 people who genuinely love each other enjoying pancakes ... "

Jesus' command in Matthew 6: 5-6 might beg to differ.

Rep. Lauren Boebert insists that public Christian worship events are necessary for America to experience revival: "I don't think that Jesus ever called for any Christian to pray only silently or to keep their faith hidden only in the prayer closet."

What’s sad to me… is that Lindsay Graham probably thought he could outlast Trump and then reconcile his morality after that. There is no after that now. It’s a good reminder… always do what you know to be right, right NOW. And when you recognize you crossed a line, that’s ok, but come back.

Apparently the vandal was a on a spree. He tore up the White House lawn, poured cement over the Rose Garden, bulldozed down East Wing and the entire Oval Office was BEDAZZLED by the same VANDAL with fake gaudy gold bric a brac.

Elon is a dangerous bubble. He’s going to bankrupt a lot of people

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.
