Democrat. Recovering helicopter pilot. Vesparado. We used to kill Nazis and fascists, not elect them. Is he dead yet.

Also, I'd love to know how two different stories -- each written by three reporters, with no overlap in the authors -- managed to find Jolene Riessen and make her the stand-in for apolitical Iowa farmers.

Times have been tough in this Ohio town ever since the woke mob closed the old Cheesecake Factory. So when Vivek Ramaswamy promised to legalize child rape, they finally had something to cheer about again. But then Obama said something elitist.

Of course we have an "National Energy Dominance Council" who's whole function is likely nothing more than fluffing Trump and lying.

National Energy Dominance Council Executive Director Jarrod Agen: "This is exactly what President Trump promised: lower energy prices. He's delivering on lower energy prices." (Who wants to tell him ... )

A president saying clearly and with his full chest “I am directing the Department of Justice” to do … anything, would have been a five-alarm scandal in previous years. Now? It’s just a Tuesday.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."

All the tacky gold reminds me of something.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

NEW: A Black MAGA influencer who spent years promoting Trump and Republicans says she was KICKED OUT of a Ken Paxton rally at the request of his campaign manager. The visibly upset creator, who has over 200,000 TikTok followers, says she drove two hours to attend and has no idea why she was removed

You pretty much have to hit these people over the head for them to realize Trump and maga screw them at every turn.

"After weighing these factors, Paulk has decided for the first time in his life to cast a ballot for a Democrat -- Ossoff. He doesn't agree with him on all issues -- notably, abortion -- but it's Ossoff's help in getting federal aid after Helene wreaked havoc on Paulk's grape crop that won his vote"

“I'm not sure what she said, but I am certain she never answered Manny's question… What did Ashley Moody know and when did she know it?" Jim DeFede calls out @angieforfl.bsky.social Nixon opponent Ashley Moody for ducking Q’s about steering $10 MILLION meant for sick kids to… political ads.

"Why won't El-Sayed figure out the solution to the problem we created?"

JD Vance: "I see what Abdul El-Sayed says about the war in Iran. I see him criticizing decisions the president has made, the military has made. But fundamentally we are where we are.I'd like to know what's Abdul El-Sayed's solution for the problem we have right now? It's easy to criticize"

I wish we would quit pussy-footing around with the stupid name of no kings and change it to Impeach Trump. No Kings sounds weak. Get to the point.

maga said Zacharia wasn't hired to be a lawyer, therefore it's nbd that she's been lying about being one for years. It's how they think.

She is also supremely confident this went great.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

oh my god this interview was a disaster for Zacharia. I've never seen Hannity do someone who works for Trump like this

“I’m a lawyer… I practiced corporate law… I was a corporate lawyer…” 17 seconds of Trump’s new Secretary of Lying lying about her resume 🤥 (she just admitted to @seanhannity it isn’t true)

Chris reposted

It's not "strikingly juvenile" and it's not a "personal broadside." It's hate speech. The Vice President is trying to get people to vote against a Democrat by implying that he's gay and/or a pedophile and/or a fetishist. Take it seriously. It is on a par with every other kind of hate speech.

This post is unavailable.

The people at these rallies behind Trump are always standing the entire time, just like his Oval Office ass kissing fests.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump's ignorant rant in Alaska about global warming is met with almost complete silence

We will always have evil shitbags like Trump that will do anything they can to silence people that threaten them. The people with power to stop them that sit on their hands and allow it to happen are just as bad if not worse. She also *literally* helped plan his inauguration!

The timing of this raid and reports that a White House official was involved raise serious questions that should concern all Americans, regardless of political party.

Trump said…

Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that TRUMP: Well they agreed, you know why? Because I said 'you agree.' That's why.

When Dems talk about the Ilhan Omar situation, they need to stop using language that implies that Omar might have done anything wrong. Trump is not "investigating" Omar. They are trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting Congressmember by scrutinizing decades old paperwork from when she was a kid

Amy is our Susan Collins, only more useless.

Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social

Fox host: President Trump said you all should have a debate… Is that in the works? Are you requesting one with him? Ken Paxton (lying): Oh well, no, look... We can never quite work out the details.

Chris reposted

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

There's never an exchange with any maga flunky that doesn't include effusive praise of Dear Leader.

A sign of how debased we are is Trump making Russian energy infrastructure safe from Ukrainian bombs a priority and making Ukrainian civilians safe from Russian bombs no priority at all.

He’s mad our country is run by crooks and murderers and so am I. I’m no longer interested in negotiating with these people and neither is he.

Bill McKibben@billmckibben.bsky.social

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

They will immediately say that children don’t have any choice in the matter, so this doesn’t really resonate with me.

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's got the scary looking billionaire's wife behind him today.

i voted for all of them, but the response from biden, harris, obama, and the clintons to both terms of trump has been a dumpster fire. theyve sat back, laughed and joked, written books and had a good old time while regular people faced the fire.
