I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

I'm begging @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social to run against Musk. He's an unpopular and creepy white nationalist asshole billionaire whose approval rating in most polls is 20 points underwater. You can mock Paxton for needing to be bailed out *and* mock the puppet master pulling his strings.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

This is Loki, our Maine Coon and the cat of our hearts, and he went missing today. We have no idea how he got out, but he’s an elder, indoor cat, the whole region’s in an intense heat wave, and we’re really scared. I doubt I have any followers here in Martinez, CA, but if so, help? It’s SO hot

Why don't they understand this? And is this the first time one journalist actually defended another journalist in front of the king? Why can't they do that when he verbally attacks a female journalist?

You don't need to ask permission to ask an off-topic question! Just ask it! You're a journalist. These people are public servants. They don't get to set the rules for you.

CAN TRUMP BE STOPPED BEFORE HE LEAVES DC IN SHAMBLES⁉️ "I don't believe in building libraries or museums" - Donald Trump as he trash-talks Obama’s library. His idea of legacy is tearing up DC and building monuments to himself while he’s still alive so everyone has to remember him after he’s gone. 🧵

The three players in this photo: 1. Nigerian heritage, grew up in England, and is only a citizen thanks to birthright citizenship. 2. Born + raised in Holland, has a dad who immigrated to the US from Suriname. 3. Said he wanted to “make people who look like me proud” while playing on Juneteenth

This is a really interesting idea. And we should 100% think big going forward.

Last year, surveillance giant Palantir (who got an 8-figure contract from ICE) paid $0 in federal income tax despite making $1.5 BILLION, partly due to new tax cuts in Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill. They cut Medicaid & SNAP to pay for this. This monstrosity must be reversed.

We need depositions, documents, and public testimony to establish why and how the most prominent and powerful figures in the trump administration publicly and repeatedly lied about someone their goons killed.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Exactly!

Precedents like this render him immune from future gov’t shutdowns. He doesn’t need the legislature’s funds if he can create massive slush funds for himself by looting foreign nations and extorting US companies. He’s achieving escape velocity from our system & Congress is just watching.

We really went from “STOP THE COUNT” when Trump tried to steal an election with his cult to “STOP THE RELEASE” when the Epstein documents started pointing in his direction. Funny how transparency only matters until it gets uncomfortable.

Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

This is a white supremacist rally. Anyone who attends something like this or still supports the leader of this movement should be unwelcome in your home and shunned from civil society. Period. We’re way past the point where this crap should be tolerated from anyone. Cast them out.

As his approval sinks, Trump will turn to the emotion from which his power derives: fear. Fear closes us off from each other, weakens what is our strength, deprives us of our future and only serves to secure his. The antidote is hope. An autocrat cannot defeat a hopeful people. Hold fast to it.
