Do or do not. There is no try.

Major press failure: treating Jared Kushner taking foreign bribes and shaping US foreign policy as less relevant than Hunter Biden not taking bribes nor influencing policy. Covering Kushner accurately was considered partisan, biased. Lies about Hunter or his minor actions treated as more important.

This right here is the Trump/Republican agenda👇🏽 Tax cuts for them, while regular folks struggle. The super rich are laughing.

Republicans love to compare current data with 2022. This shows what a massive lie that is.

It is hard to articulate how insanely stupid & destructive the war against Iran has been, but as one clear data point, there is no reason to assume the price of gas would have been anything other than flat had Trump not chosen to start his absurd war.

How the hell did we get here?

The jokes write themselves.

Todd Blanche: “I am not sure of the uproar of having a Border Patrol or ICE agent at a polling location. What's the risk?” Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal? Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held. An AG should know this.

It says "Israei is paying." But m make no mistake, we're paying too - paying to teach LLMs scraping the internet to lie for Zionism.

Fireworks always put me to sleep. That's why I sleep so well when my neighbors are making my windows rattle at midnight.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @andertoon.bsky.social)

Americans should be ashamed that we’ve NORMALIZED CORRUPTION.

Staggering levels of corruption. They’re using every possible lever of power to enrich themselves and their friends and families. And the “party of fiscal responsibility” simply doesn’t care.

On Journalism and American Democracy (my short speech at the George Polk Awards last week) charliesavage.com/2026/04/on-j...

Spot on!

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. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote. Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

NEW: This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Welcome to the Fascist United States.

his name is Jonathan Ross and he shouldn't get a good night's sleep for the rest of his life www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

If everyone received a truly equal share of the American pie, every person would receive approximately $471,465. That’s $942,930 per couple and $1.89 million for those with two kids. That would be a life-changing windfall for a large majority of Americans. www.upworthy.com/sharing-all-...

Absolute truth!

How much longer are decent Americans going allow this to be done in our name?

Man, someone went OFF on MAGA and how their irresponsible voting choices affect them negatively. I can't really say shit beyond this. They nailed it. 🫳🎤

Did you know Trump has added 2.2 trillion to the national debt since taking office 10 months ago?

Me too

How will this go? Witkoff & Kushner: We tried to get you what you want, but we couldn’t. Putin: Oh? W&K: How about most of what you want? P: No. W&K: If we get you all you want we still can make a lot of money together? P: Yes. W&K: And if not, stall while you attack more? P: Yes. W&K: OK!

Healthcare Truth ...

Republicans want you to think they’re steely-eyed realists They’re actually just assholes

REUTERS: “Trump blamed Biden-era vetting failures for the admission of an Afghan immigrant suspected of shooting two National Guard members — but the alleged gunman was granted asylum this year under Trump…” www.yahoo.com/news/article...

I really wish journalists would stop using the word "retribution" to describe Trump's efforts to criminalize opposition to him, as it treats his claim that his adversaries did something wrong in the first place. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

A classic from Tom the Dancing Bug. From 2016

Please watch this. The Senate killed a bill to ban state regulation of AI by a vote of 99-1 this spring. Now the industry - eager to stay unregulated - and Trump are scheming to shove the provision in the national defense bill. You need to know this, so you can help stop it.

Total BS. Individuals have no leverage to negotiate rates or hold companies’ feet to the fire. Trump will never give people the money; he will find some way to pocket it. And in the end it goes to insurance companies anyway.

Exactly. This is where the Lucy deke misses reality.

We got a reprieve, but as long as our rights depend on the whims of people in black robes, we have no rights.

Apparently, the media is asleep too. Where’s @jaketapper.bsky.social ???

I'm old. Really old. Old enough to remember Eisenhower's heart attack being in the news for weeks. Yet here we have Trump falling asleep while Oz is talking about obesity and dementia. It's a lede to die for. But not a peep.

We once had a decent person as president.

Ladies and gentlemen, The President of The United States!

Hey look. Communism.
