I don’t have any Iron Maiden on my playlists, can’t name one of their songs, but huge respect to Nicko McBrain! apple.news/AWoGjyWLmSUG...

To all the Texas dads calling Tallerico Tallafreako like a bunch of stupid 6th graders: looking forward to the day when at least some of your children are ashamed of you. You’re ridiculous and embarrassing.

Trump’s use and abuse of SCOTUS is obscene. This diseased court should not indulge this nonsense. apple.news/AynGIJDiqQIm...

Predictably, Trump and the regime completely misunderstand the issue and do the exact wrong thing at the worst possible time. The incompetence is staggering. apple.news/AdZtxkHTSS5y...

Vote this Congress out!

We just watched The Odyssey at an IMAX theater, what a great cinematic experience. Whether you liked the film or not, you have to be some magnitude of snowflake to be offended by it.

From today’s Democracy Docket: “Now, a former “election integrity director” [in MO Sec of State] Hoskins’ office has filed a whistleblower lawsuit, accusing Hoskins of serious misconduct — including changing the results of a city election and fabricating evidence for a federal hearing.” GOP cheating

Another example of where we have the worst possible president at the worst possible time. This abysmal regime can’t be demolished fast enough. Vote all blue in November. apple.news/A4_r9eQCjSz6...

In a country (and world) challenged by uncontrolled AI, climate change, and potential pandemic, Americans could not have an elected a worse president for these times. We must begin the turnaround this November.

Another complex issue where Trump knows more than the experts. He has no regard for anything beyond his own selfish interest. He and his regime are dangerously incompetent. apple.news/AwKuCE_vxQYW...

Trump is a weak pathetic supplicant, always siding with Russia. This is a clear microcosm of Trump’s failed regime. He didn’t end the Ukraine war on day 1 as promised, and drove us to senseless war, another broken promise. Price of diesel a result of his gross incompetence apple.news/AX3K5rZEVSHm...

Iran has been doing a lot of “striking” and “attacking” for a country whose military and navy is “gone.” apple.news/AUrnXQ7vFSl2...

So important. Make a plan, don’t trust receiving or mailing in your ballot this time. Let’s make this election win to big to rig open.substack.com/pub/stevesch...

Apple and Google had no legal requirement to change the name of Lake Ontario on their maps. Nauseating sycophancy. Props to Mapquest for not acquiescing.

From my favorite live version - “In fact, I saw a couple of drag queens out there…And they said, "Are you going to sing Jolene?"… One of them looked more like me than I ever will And the other one was prettier than any of us girls will ever be So this is for the drag queens…” Dolly the humanitarian

Admittedly, I don’t know the legalities of international law. If any war crimes have been committed here or in the many murky boat strikes that have killed hundreds of people, Hegseth and others need to be punished to the full extent of the law. apple.news/AG11h6ktOSIq...

No matter what Natalie keeps telling him, Trump looks weak and ridiculous in the eyes of the world, Canada trade war just the most recent example.

I feel so much better about my country knowing that she is a “top advisor” to Trump. The disgraces continue to mount from this horrific regime. apple.news/At4J5AT-xRW2...

So David Ellison says he isn’t doing Trump’s bidding at CBS and 60 Minutes? Then let’s see an in-depth 60 Minutes segment on Trump and his family’s involvement in crypto and defense contracts over the past 18 months.

Re: Trump’s obscene child vaccine executive order today. Bill Cassidy has to stop playing the “I’m a doctor” card when objecting to these medical and legal predictable abominations that come out of the WH every week. Essentially he single handedly foisted RFKjr and Blanche on the American people.

The thing I got so wrong back in 2016, in trying to find a silver lining in America’s devastating mistake electing Trump, was that Republican Senators would be a check on him. The list of their horrific, reckless confirmations this term alone is staggering. apple.news/Af9bQwgLuQHa...

Once again, Trump and his regime caught lying about how expensive renewable energy is. His actions are disastrous at a time when we need leaders who understand the reality of climate change. apple.news/ANXBDSbiaTki...

Trump and his regime are so out of their league in these matters of global importance. The US looks ridiculous in the eyes of the world. apple.news/A3GGxoIVxQAS...

Two more selfish morally bankrupt GOPers on the way out failing to do the right thing. They’ll be gone while the Dems in Congress and the American people suffer the damage to the rule of law while Blanche does Trump’s corrupt bidding. apple.news/AetH_nBX8QUW...

So “anti-money laundering concerns” sounds like they were laundering money, which is a crime right? apple.news/Ad-ypSGfPRdG...

I hope future legislatures, DOJ and journalists exert the same intense pressure on these vindictive bullies. apple.news/AHSjG8D1ASMC...

I can’t imagine how the injured capitol police people are feeling about this. Combined with demanding tax crime immunity for himself and family and withholding disaster assistance to people in states that didn’t vote for him, he’s a degenerate hateful psychopath. apple.news/AJH50J7egR-S...

Just the latest in the never ending cycle of embarrassments from Trump and GOP senators. Tillis and Cornyn’s minuscule “demand” that $1.8B payments to criminals be in writing is ridiculous. Blanche will continue to ignore the rule of law for Trump if confirmed. VOTE NO! apple.news/ALRMZe25pR3W...

Cornyn and Tillis must vote no on Blanche. Even if Blanche agrees to whatever their personal demands are, he’ll do many more illegal things once he’s AG. Long past time for the GOP to start doing their jobs.

Just watched Trump mumble and lie his way through a statement from a reporter about how bad wind power is. He said China, the world’s largest producer of wind power, “doesn’t use it,” and that wind is the most expensive form of energy. It is one of the least expensive. What an embarrassing moron.

As a public official at the local level for 35 years, I had to prepare departmental budgets, supplemental requests, and provide data driven program initiatives to elected officials responsible for making policy decisions. Hegseth is utterly unfit and unqualified for his role bsky.app/profile/ronf...

Who cares what Journey’s keyboard player thinks? Of course Bruce should keep speaking up as long as he wants, precisely because he loves this country. Also, come on. Bruce’s music compared to Journey?! Jonathan Cain is the one that needs to shut up. apple.news/AaJj3ETYLQpG...

World Cup Final. I guess it’s OK for a black woman to sing the national anthem - fantastic btw-but not be promoted in Trump/Hegseth’s military. They both need to be in jail when this national nightmare is over.

Can we please stop with all this “vandals” did it nonsense and the ridiculous prosecutions of innocent Americans. They drove over the freshly applied sealant. I don’t see this mentioned much in the latest media reports. We need to snap out of this national funk and wake up.

Probably no connection, but on the same day I’m lamenting that people in this country elected Trump twice, I learn that in 1969 Sugar Sugar by the Archie’s beat both Proud Mary and Bad Moon Rising at various times for #1 on the charts. Haven’t made much progress.

He.Ruins.Everything.He touches. We cant even enjoy the sportsmanship and global humanity the World Cup can represent without him interfering. Also, a matter of time til he says he never made a call to FIFA. apple.news/ASoVVjAOGRo-...

The thing I hate most about Bill Maher is he keeps fluctuating his support for Trump based on how Trump treats him. Trump is an anti-democratic vicious wannabe despot, regardless of how he behaves at dinner with Maher. Maher is an apologist for this disgraceful president apple.news/AihZg1kpBRw6...

Trump never fails to make himself and those who support him look absolutely ridiculous with these abrupt reversals. Sacrificing affordable housing for voter suppression captures this deranged fool’s priorities perfectly. apple.news/AO19owX2lSt2...

You can’t simultaneously rah rah rah our 250th anniversary and support a president and regime who everyday try to shred the constitution that got us this far.

Michelle Obama is 100 times the superior human that UFC slug is.

Watching FIFA World Cup football on Fox. Another of a million ways Trump and corporations drain the fun out of out what should be joyous experiences.

VANCE: “Trump won, we don’t need to do this anymore.” Meaning it’s OK to hate and discriminate, why would you show respect and love when you have permission not to? Vance is a moral degenerate. apple.news/A0YW-4GUgSg6...

So the Obama Admin was vilified by the right for releasing $1.7B in frozen Iranian assets as part of the comprehensive nuclear deal, while Trump is potentially releasing $24B of the same frozen assets for a much less successful deal. Waiting for the same or greater level of outrage from MAGA.

Now July 4th will be a ‘Trump rally spectacle. If we have a shred of concern for the future of our country, every Democrat, Independent, and last remaining sensible Repubs needs to vote against this corrupt regime this November and in 2028. We have the power to stop this madness. Let’s use it.

Remember when MAGA snowflakes were so insulted when Hillary suggested a segment of them were “deplorables”? What else do we call those who supported/didn’t denounce that UFC freak for insulting the former First Lady on the White House lawn in the name of Jesus Christ?

How unfathomably stupid is it that US “diplomats” and defense department can’t negotiate anything successfully and have to keep fighting with a nation whose army and navy was allegedly obliterated weeks ago. This regime is pitiful, the US looks foolish. apple.news/ARbBmmGF4RdK...

It’s profoundly sad that the most corrupt, weak and anti-American creep is president during our country’s 250 anniversary. He, his regime and SCOTUS has no regard for the Constitution that has served us well for so long.

While families struggle with healthcare costs at home, we keep funding unauthorized wars abroad. Congress must pass the War Powers Act resolution today and redirect our priorities. No more blank checks for war. Retweet if you agree: #FundHealthcareNotWar
