Sad but true

In case you ever needed proof that the Heritage Foundation is not a conservative organization, here we have them cheering on the Federal Government threatening to strip all funding from a state that does not make political decisions the President likes. Any true conservative would be howling.

Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines. When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

The “peace president” is starting a war.

JD Vance is not a physician. He has no science degrees. He cannot even recite the scientific method. Under no circumstances should you take medical advice from him or RFKjr.

In 10 months MAGA went from “He’s the new messiah!” to “Look, we don’t have anyone else.”

$40 billion could provide more than a year of affordable health care for millions of Americans. Instead, Trump uses your taxpayer dollars to bail out his “favorite president” in Argentina.

Trump’s EPA canceled a $20M flood protection grant for the area in May, calling it “wasteful DEI spending.”

The Admiral in charge of military strikes in the Caribbean resigns as US forces are being built up in the region for possible attacks on Venezuela, at the same time Hegseth forces the Pentagon press out of the building with onerous censorship rules. Nothing to see here.

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia. But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

I’m sure this is fine. abcnews.go.com/US/dominion-...

Thank you Ted Cruz. Unexpected but appreciated.

BREAKING NEWS: At least three people are in critical condition after a shooting at Evergreen High School in Evergreen, Colorado, according to St. Anthony’s Hospital.

The first time a politician has ever told me that they *don't* want my money. Mamdani continues to break the mold in refreshing, energized ways. No wonder Trump and the DNC establishment are scared.

Fox refuses to cover what the Epstein victims are saying publicly for the first time, but they are covering military jets flying over them during their press conference.

One survivor just named both Clinton and Trump.

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Today, we met and heard the stories of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. What they revealed is not only the trauma of hundreds of young women, but a cover-up of epic proportions involving the wealthy, the well-connected, and even our own government. We will follow every thread until there is justice.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Witnesses to a kidnapping of a young boy on 14th Street in Washington, DC captured this picture of the vehicle used by the domestic terrorist group known as ICE. This 2022 Ford Truck VIN: 1FTEW1EB0NKE15478 is currently untitled and illegally being used in crimes.

Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.

The issue isn’t that Maxwell lied throughout her entire proffer. She has been lying, deceiving and manipulating people her entire life. I expect it from her. The issue is that the US Department of Justice gave her very tangible benefits already for those lies with more to come.

Do you think it’s a coincidence that the FBI raids Boltons home the same day some of the Einstein are to be released? I don’t think so. Distract distract distract

A woman who criticized Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to their facility in an interview has been transferred out to another facility which houses violent offenders. Trump’s DOJ is now punishing people who criticize his sex offender friends. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

They told us they were targeting "the worst of the worst," but they are going after delivery drivers and their bikes. This isn't about criminality or immigration; it's about intimidation.

When it comes to underage girls, Donald certainly has a type. #Epstein

NOTICE TO ADOBE USERS: Photoshop is currently unavailable was Pamela Jo Bondi and Kash Patel are using *all* of it to Gaussian blur "Donald Trump" out of thousands of Jeffery Epstein files. Please be patient. Thanking you in advance.

Never forget.

Each day, they could just discuss the details of one (1) former Republican who was arrested for sex trafficking, pedophilia, or some related scandal. If they're going to shut down Congress for this, fill the silence with these news stories. Make it unavoidable.

So Trump wants the Senate to stay in session and work through summer recess to confirm his nominees and the House to get the fuck out of town until September to prevent a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

Oops: On Joe Rogan’s podcast in September 2018, Tulsi Gabbard acknowledged that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Rogan called it “amazing” that it took until 2016 for foreign election influence to become a major issue in the U.S.

Repost ad infinitum

They just passed a bill that raised the debt ceiling an additional $5 trillion to $41.1 trillion. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

CNN: Epstein MSNBC: Epstein ABC: Epstein NBC: Epstein Fox News: OBAMA IS BLACK!!!

The stories are coming every hour - this is like Watergate if you replace illegal break-ins with underage girls

this is so much worse than the normal editing CBS did when Kamala Harris went on 60 Minutes

Stephen Colbert is a profoundly good and deeply talented man with a great staff and an excellent show. They all deserve better.

Whoever defends Trump on Epstein will own it for the rest of their lives. Every job they apply for, every person they meet, every office they run for, everything they do. They will never be able to erase it or get away from it. It will haunt them forever.

Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein on Epstein's 50th birthday. "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret." We see you, Trump – and we know you're on Epstein's list.

Colbert has the highest ratings of any late night host. "Financial reasons" my ass. This is political.

@michaelianblack.bsky.social , just came back from seeing the Superman movie. What a fun surprise! Really enjoyed it.

I guess they thought we weren’t enough of a laughingstock to the rest of the world already.

The United States celebrating its birthday by doing something that is gratuitously cruel to its pets (fireworks) seems particularly on-theme this year.

Cool, cool. While he was dancing there are dozens of missing people including children in a major natural disaster in Texas that he hasn’t said a word about. Party on.

We are now in the “human sacrifices for the greed of billionaires” phase of our trip to a Republican dystopia.
