They really let a UFC fighter call our only Black First Lady a man on the White House lawn at an official White House event … while thousands cheered and the biggest podcaster in the world smiled. There is no economic policy fix for this. Many of these people are just racist.

I try not to fall for NYC vs LA shit but sometimes you see a city full of people who say like "I need to hold space for myself and do a full chakra cleansing with rose quartz" while advocating for using homeless people as a cheaper meat alternative and its like yeah its time for exterminatus

Los Angeles mayoral candidate and reality star Spencer Pratt sat down with NBC Nightly News Anchor Tom Llamas to talk about his crystal collection, saying he believes "anything God put on this earth has energy."

I feel like even the Nazis and Soviets provided paid transport and accommodations for this sort of thing.

NEW: The Pentagon is moving to recruit hundreds of troops to appear as spectators at Trump’s UFC cage-fighting event at the White House, and requiring those who attend to pay their own way and meet height and weight requirements, memos obtained by @washingtonpost.com show. wapo.st/49wqqDf

Listen, I was born poor and rural. My high school mascot was a literal hillbilly. I understand white trash culture. I can say with complete confidence that this is white trash culture.

if the past is truly a foreign country then we must impose sanctions, tariffs, and consider invading it

If there are no mechanisms left for stopping this robbery of the government by its president, then we have ceased to be anything but a subsidiary of the Trump Corporation.

This is insane. The terms of DOJ's slush fund appear to transfer control of $1.8 billion beyond US government entirely. Unless I'm misreading this, that would circumvent Congress *entirely* and put the money outside of *any* constitutional and/or legal constraints ofany kind. Straight up theft.

That is how you know the Republicans are better for the economy. Because when Dems add 200k jobs it is bad and when a Republican adds 50k jobs it is great. Duh!

Leftist McNuggets reposted

here we go again, the new york times calling an increase of 115k jobs under Trump "solid" while it called similar or considerably bigger gains under Biden "disappointing" or "weak"

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Job creation in the U.S. remained solid in April, as businesses shrugged off uncertainty brought on by the war in Iran and higher gas prices. It is not clear whether robust recent hiring will translate into sustained momentum. Follow live updates. nyti.ms/4uaiy2r

Dems literally won a statewide election to pass new maps and those maps got invalidated, but Republicans in Louisiana are literally cancelling an election where people had already voted in order to pass their gerrymanders. We live in a rigged system.

Oh my god I got a content violation for a joke about W*ll St*nc*l. Does this dweeb literally search his name and report everyone no matter how small the account? Imagine being that pitiful.

This is not a new observation, but as someone who works really hard to make sure the metaphors and symbolism in her work aren't over-obvious, I think God should have to fistfight me.

The President left the White House tonight so his motorcade could drive through the Reflecting Pool

there's simply no adequate political response to this that isn't based on fully destroying the people and party responsible for it

Ari Berman@ariberman.bsky.social

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

incredibly funny how the outbreak happened after the two main countries involved, the united states and argentina, completely obliterated their public health and regulatory agencies for insane kulturkampf reasons

We've had plenty of career politicians serve as Chief Justice -- former senators and governors, even a former president -- and yet none was such a nakedly partisan political figure in their role as Chief as John Roberts. He is a political hack and I'm glad hearing that simple truth makes him sad.

Lawrence Hurley@lawrencehurley.bsky.social

NEW: Chief Justice John Roberts bemoans that Americans don't understand how the Supreme Court operates and see justices as "political actors". The court at times simply has to make "unpopular" decisions, he adds: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

tech companies used to be called like “Babinko!” and now they’re all called “Porch”

Remember Catholics, the appropriate response to “May the 4th be with you” is “and with your life force” so I better not be seeing any of that outdated also with you nonsense!

This is interesting because it challenges two widely held political assumptions: 1) that people love it when everything at the supermarket is at least $8.99 and 2) that the easiest way to win voters over is to go on TV every day and say that you need to build a big event space or you'll die.

trump literally broke the scale of this graph on my data portal www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data

Sure let’s blame Bernie instead of the historically unpopular candidate who - despite running an awful campaign - managed to win the popular vote. As always it’s blame the left first instead of the system.

Just remember Bernie Sanders is also responsible for this setback in voter's rights. ~Circa 2016

If she’s running again she needs to make it clear what needs to be done to win this fight and how she’ll do it. We’re all tired of hopeful speeches with no plan

Kamala Harris@kamalaharris.com

The mission before us is to restore the power of the people. There is no question our fight became harder today, but I know we are up for the battle.

“The moral, intellectual, emotional collapse of the Republican Party is in a way a bigger story than Trump. The celebration of a guy…who has led, more or less single-handedly, on his own decisions, his own judgment, he has led America into one of our worst strategic defeats in our history.”

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

This mind-numbing idiocy from Trump strongly suggests that @pkrugman.bsky.social and I have it right when we say Trump doesn't understand his current predicament with Iran at the most fundamental level: newrepublic.com/article/2096...

The biggest propaganda job in school curriculum is around SCOTUS IMO. It's sold as this noble checks and balance but its been a pretty awful branch of government with the exception of a couple decades in the 20th century as Josh mentioned.

Josh Chafetz@joshchafetz.bsky.social

It is worth, I think, emphasizing that in trampling congressional attempts to protect the rights of Black people, the Court is basically doing what it has always done, with the exception of a couple decades in the mid-20th century when it often worked with Congress to protect the rights of Black ppl

I kinda forgot about this guy. Sent 3 bombs to CNN and eight years later CNN anchors were dressing up in tuxes and gowns to go celebrate the president that encouraged the bombings.

Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan.bsky.social

Cesar Sayoc, a Trump super fan & obsessive Fox viewer, sent pipe bombs in 2018 to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, & many other top Dems. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. In the wake of the attacks, Trump said about his rhetoric: "Tone down, no. Could tone up."
