Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.

I closed my trade imbalance with the grocery store, now I just eat the money I would have spent there.

The stupidity… it hurts! 😩

Trump is running an interesting experiment in how many self-identified Christian Americans have actual religious commitments and how many are just into it because it provides a means for the socially defensible expression of bigotry bsky.app/profile/bria...

What the president is doing is batshit crazy.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

An Easter message from the president which should really force the VP and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.

I mean, you don't really need a translator

Absolutely right! That is what Republicans do — take credit for other people’s work.

Key word here is “before.”

The stock market is tanking, gas prices are spiking, the DHS Secretary was just fired after lying under oath to Congress, prices keep going up, Trump refuses to refund tariffs despite a SCOTUS decision, and we are in another war in the Middle East. When does the winning start?

"Every one of these individuals is a person of color who has had this happen to them." I implore you to watch this poignant statement in full! And please share! #StopICE #StopTheMadness #StopTrump #Resist 👊🏼

It will be tough for America’s global reputation to recover after this absolutely shameful vote.

Former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”

Prior to 2015, if any candidate for elected office had begun a public statement or tweet with this sentence, he or she would have been laughed out of public life. Now, Americans re-elect them as commander-in-chief. I will never allow myself to become numb to his insanity.

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

There are 2 kinds of people: / Those who hear foreign languages in the street and are pleased that their town is cool enough to attract people from far away who will share their cultures and learn yours. / Those who hear foreign languages, instantly get clammy skin, and think they’re being invaded.

SpaceX shifts focus from something that it will never do on Mars to something it will never do on the Moon.

One year ago, the idea that RMB would be positioned to replace the USD as a lead global reserve currency was all but unthinkable. But one year of Trump monetary policy has trashed the greenback and assured the rise of RMB. There is no more astonishing story of monetary mismanagement in modern times

the federal government is arresting journalists not only without a warrant but after being explicitly denied a warrant i wonder what our freedom of speech warriors like Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss have to say about this

Congressional Budget Office: “Federal troop deployments to US cities cost a total of $496 million in 2025, CBO estimates. Continuing current deployments will cost $93 million a month; 1,000 Guard personnel deployed to a city will cost at least $18 million a month.” www.cbo.gov/publication/...

The Party told you to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. -- George Orwell, 1984

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

You're paying for this. Trump's Big Ugly Bill gave BILLIONS to ICE and giant corporations—using money meant to lower your health care costs. Instead of helping your mom get cancer treatment, your tax dollars are being used to terrorize communities.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

So, is he saying that "heritage Americans" are the experts at fleecing the government?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

False Saviorism. Start the fire, then act like a hero for putting it out. Trump uses $12 billion from tariff revenue to bail out farmers HE hurt by collecting tariff revenue. He did the same thing in 2018. BTW, the 12 billion comes from us. WE'RE bailing out farmers with our tariffs tax.

I would like Twitter to have stronger border security.

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

The AI video Trump posted of himself dumping shit all over America from a plane was metaphorically the most accurate piece of propaganda he’s put out this year.

Pete Hegseth conducted a live fire exercise over I-5 as part of a made-for-Fox stunt for him and Vance which had a misfire that struck a Highway Patrol vehicle and could have killed people? Who could have foreseen this?

This presidency has clearly demonstrated the folly of presidential pardons. Is it not antithetical to the spirit of our judicial system that one man can capriciously undo what a jury has agreed is just?

This argument falls for the paradox of tolerance. Charlie Kirk argued exactly for violence; violence is the problem we're facing, and yet you exonerate and defend his right to call for violence. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox...

Behold, his work... www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk...

Just another sad day in this country. people.com/colorado-hig...

Can’t quite put my finger on why, but somehow the actual doodle makes it so much worse and more disgusting.

Thousands march to the White House united in our demand. We want federal forces out of DC Now!! Free DC! Free DC! #WeAreAllDC #FreeDC
