But I thought Democrats controlled the weather.

He TACOs as usual, becomes Putin's roadkill.

Selling flowers at Forest Lawn is not where dangerous cartel criminal immigrants are hiding.

Trump says he gave US enemy permission to bomb US military base. “They said, ‘We’re going to shoot them. Is one o’clock OK?’ I said it’s fine,” Trump said. “And everybody was emptied off the base so they couldn’t get hurt, except for the gunners.” talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Our Fascist Idiocracy: May 22, 2025. Racism and lying in the Oval. Best at being worst. Everybody hates Elon. No, you're out of control.

Today in fascist idiocy, what does "86" mean? How does a wannabe autocrat define "groceries" to Middle Eastern leader. And how do fascists deal with their allergies to voting?

Maddow runs through the very long list of Trump's failures during his first 100 days. Here's the list.

Hey, do you know what you call a guy who never admits a mistake, who becomes President of the United States by never admitting a mistake, who then convinces his entire presidential administration to never admit—let alone correct—any mistake, leading to innocents getting life sentences? A sociopath.

Nate Silver: In our tracking, Trump's approval is at -5, but if we only used polls since Liberation Day, he'd be at -8.5 instead. So that's a pretty significant hit over the span of barely more than a week; he was at -2.5 on 4/1, just before Liberation Day. www.natesilver.net/p/trump-appr...

"Arrival" from the Lincoln Project.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

America, you f**ked up! She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored her—because it was never really about the economy. Now folks are scared, struggling—and we’re cooked.

If presidents are allowed to have third terms...

Besides the fact that California, a pro-democracy majority state, donates $83 billion more to the treasury of the authoritarian government in Washington than it receives, here's another reason we should secede or join Canada, if they'll have us.

Hundreds of Venezuelans who were deported to El Salvador from the United States in recent days could face long or indefinite detention in a prison system rife with human rights abuses, according to attorneys and experts on the region.

Tell me again why MAGA is not a white supremacist movement.

Tell me again why DOGE is not a white supremacist operation.

If you have seen “Hidden Figures,” you know about the stories of women like Ethel L. Lee. In 1959, she became the only African American woman on the team helping to build NASA’s first space shuttle. Today we are celebrating her 99th birthday at the Columbia Memorial Space Center in Downey!

This didn't take long.

The US Army has deleted lesson plans, focusing on African American history, Women’s history, and the Civil War, for teacher use with students. Apparently, they don't want students to learn about the men and women buried at one of our most sacred spaces. 🗃️ kevinmlevin.substack.com/p/us-army-de...
