I don't debate trump supporters now for the same reasons I dont debate flat earthers or anti-vaxxers. They are willfully ignorant and not worth my time or energy. Be a dolt, I don't care.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Hey Siri, is it still a democracy if you have to compliment an autocratic leader who’s a convicted felon and alleged child predator to ensure there’s any semblance of a free and fair election?

Hypothetically. If complimenting trump meant that there would definitely be 2026 elections and the Dems would sweep Congress in a landslide , would you compliment Trump ? Or, Is is that thought so abhorrent, you couldn’t bring yourself to do it. Even at the expense of staying the minority?

👀 NEWS: IRS documents show conservative propaganda machine PragerU spent $650,000 on a gala at Mar-A-Lago - and soon after Trump targeted PBS for elimination, setting up PragerU to fill the educational void in schools across the country America. www.levernews.com/prageru-is-m...

the joke posts about what’s happening in dc and how federal agents or troops are wasting their time totally miss the point that we’re being terrorized here

Season-ending right knee injury for Sophie Cunningham, Fever say. Losing THREE players to season-ending injuries in 10 days is unreal. They signed Shey Peddy, another veteran guard, to a seven-day hardship contract. She replaces the spot held by Krya Lambert.

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet. The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year. Something has gone terribly wrong.

Weather delays are what they are when traveling, but American Airlines customer service has been dreadful, the staff have mostly been wonderful but there aren’t enough of them and the lack of honestly in communications has been a nightmare

German here, I was just gonna say… No wonder those people are willingly enabling fascism in the US if they have no clue about fascism history.

It should be much bigger news that trump forgot he appointed Jerome Powell as Chairman of Federal Reserve. If Joe Biden had done that it would’ve been the lead story on Fox News, CNN, NY Times, WaPo and even MSNBC for weeks as evidence of his cognitive decline. Where you at @jaketapper.bsky.social

Trump today: "I'm surprised he [Jerome Powell] was appointed. I'm surprised frankly that Biden put him in." Trump in November 2017: "It is my pleasure and my honour to announce my nomination of Jerome Powell to be the next chairman of the Federal Reserve."

The CEO-to-worker pay ratio for S&P 500 companies was 285-to-1 last year. And now these CEOs will get a tax cut of roughly $500K thanks to Trump’s big, ugly bill — 639x more than the median U.S. worker. Is it any wonder so many people think the system is rigged?

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

Harvey Milk signed up to serve a country that deprived him of his liberty. He served admirably in the Korean War on the USS Kittiwake, a rescue submarine. Milk was a diving officer in the war and later a diving instructor and lieutenant. He was an officer who saved lives. Continued...

KENNEDY: If Vietnam came to you and said, 'You win. We're gonna remove all tariffs and all trade barriers. Would the US please do the same?" Would you accept that deal? LUTNICK: Absolutely not. That would be the silliest thing we could do KENNEDY: What's the purpose of reciprocity then?

“I am sorry I don’t have a plane for you” The President of South Africa deftly reminds us that he has a lot of experience in dealing with White Supremacists and autocrats.

RAMAPHOSA: I am sorry I don't have a plane to give you TRUMP: I wish you did. I'd take it. If your country offered the US Air Force a plane, I would take it RAMAPHOSA: Okay

Trump is reportedly urging the Postal Service to hire a board member from FedEx — a leading USPS competitor — as the next Postmaster General. This is an alarming step towards privatization, which would make USPS more expensive and less reliable for the millions who rely on it.

The take I am most certain of that gets me in the most trouble is just "The reason homes are so expensive is because there are not enough of them, so we really really really need to build more of them."
