This is Justice Alito's way of letting Republicans know that he's certain they are going to get a shellacking in the midterms.

These people make Marie Antoinette look connected to the people and empathetic by comparison. They laugh at what their own voters are going through as they continue to mock them as they enrich themselves and have a great time.

Trump being a little late to the party,as this agreement has been in place via NATO for 76 years. Donald has 'announced it', so he can feel like a winner. He's not a winner.

RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline

Last year, Donald Trump and Republicans expanded a tax break that allows the ultra-wealthy to write off as much as 100% of their profit on stock holdings. That one move will cost taxpayers over $17 BILLION. Americans deserve better. I'm pressing for answers.

Free speech absolutist.

I wish the media had the same urgency about the state of Mitch McConnell as they did for Kamala's W-2 from McDonald's in the 80s.

This is how you do it. This is what we should be talking about rather than “no one’s doing anything,”

Newsom: I’m really proud of the data that just came out. The lowest homicides in recorded history in California. Time for updated talking points for all those with California derangement syndrome. Eight out of the top 10 murder-rate states in America are red states.

Seems to me that enough of the American people don't care enough to do anything about it.

One year post One Big Beautiful Bill passage, 800,000 kids have lost SNAP benefits. Nothing says "pro-family" quite like taking food away from children.

It's interesting how everything people used to proudly call "public" when I was growing up (public parks, public libraries, public schools, public transportation, public television, etc) is suddenly "socialist" now that rich people are spinning it.

Congressional Report Alleges Fraud in Fundraising for ‘Christian Nationalist’ Freedom250

Today, I voted YES to release the names of Members of Congress who used taxpayer dollars to settle sexual misconduct and other misconduct cases in Congress. No more abuses of power and no more hiding behind a system that shields perpetrators. We will always fight for justice for survivors—period.

American Jew, here. Rabbi, actually! AIPAC is not, in fact, "Millions of people." It's a lobbying *org* that spends a lot of money to influence lawmakers with the goal of getting substantial military spending to another govt., & associated goals. US Jews are a *people*, with diverse opinions!

Reminder Ken Paxton who is running for Senate in Texas pardoned his friend who was in jail for raping a boy for years. Oh well, let's move on.

EXCLUSIVE: A top Polymarket executive sent hundreds of thousands of dollars — and likely more — to social media influencers from left to right. One influencer says Polymarket wrote posts for them to share on X and asked them to promote specific bets.

This is the same person who tried to weaponize mortgage information to go after the President’s enemies. This man has no business being anywhere near our national intelligence and security agencies. ⬇️

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

"The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them." ~ George Orwell

If you aren't watching 60 Minutes tonight, you should be. The first segment is about the stock market and comparing what's happening now to 1929. The protections put up after the 29 crash have been removed.

Presidential assassination attempts that didn’t get close happened in the past too, but you heard about them less because previous presidents all thought strength was shrugging “you can’t phase me, nothing can,” while this president thinks strength is whining “I’m such a victim, soothe my feelings.”

Dr. Jasmine Clark PhD microbiology from Emory University, teaching anatomy & microbiology to future nurses, & tracking threats. 2017, watching the new administration removed science funding, public health infrastructure, and the institutions she had devoted her career to, she picked up a campaign.

The GIO Is the party of hate

(sad trombone noise)

🚨Trump just named Marc Andreessen’s wife to the SF Presidio Trust board, along with other MAGA allies & ultra-wealthy tech figures. Meanwhile, the Tech Bros have made it clear that they want to build a “Freedom City” in the Presidio. sfstandard.com/2026/05/14/t...

I don’t think Peter Thiel’s network has received enough attention for having elevated Christian Nationalist pastor Doug Wilson. Exhibit A is Tucker’s weird softball interview of Wilson in May 2024 at a time when Tucker’s media company was still backed by 1789 Capital. 1/

Priorities dontcha know

At least 79 kids have been harmed by tear gas or pepper spray during Trump’s immigration crackdown. In most cases, they were going about their days when officers shot chemical munitions near their homes and schools and into their cars.

Bannon’s show today encapsulates the MAGAsphere right now: The left are all demonic treasonous America-haters who need to tone down their rhetoric.

Mark Rufalo warns Congress against the Paramount-WBD merger: "You don't have to watch 'Citizen Kane' or read '1984' to understand that the concentrated oligarchic control this merger represents is a threat to a free press, an informed populace & democracy itself." www.youtube.com/live/xETe83T...

Erica Payne, founder of Patriotic Millionaires, laments the "freak show in the WH" is posting memes about being Jesus and fighting with the Pope while we live in a nation that (in theory) demands the separation of church and state. She finished with, "For heaven's sake! Enough already"

Sky News: While Trump, the so-called leader of the free world, sits rage-posting on SM like a man screaming into a void, France, Japan, Philippines, & UK are quietly, methodically cutting deals with Iran. The world has moved on & US Mainstream Media is not covering a bit of this. #sheshed

7 months out from the midterms, here it comes - scare the fuck out of the GOP base by blaming brown & black immigrants for everything. It’s their major go-to.

Every crisis becomes content. Every decision becomes branding. Every failure gets spun into “winning.” At some point you have to ask: Is anyone actually governing?

The Serbia/Austro-Hungarian angle worked in 1914 but now it just feels like lazy writing.

The White House’s TikTok videos on Iran “are possible only in a country that asks little from its people beyond their YouTube clicks, where the intellectual and moral muscles necessary to work through questions of war and peace disappeared into the couch a long time ago,” Charles Homans writes.

Tennessee gave $65 million to Oracle to create jobs— guess we should have specified they be jobs for Americans🫤 Trump’s buddy Ellison is firing Americans and replacing them with foreign workers. (And now owns TikTok, CBS, CNN, etc) Watch oligarchy work. nationaltoday.com/us/tx/austin...

BREAKING: In a sharp turnaround, Trump and House Republicans, who condemned this same funding from the Senate last week, have agreed to the Democratic House plan to fund DHS through Sept. 30 while omitting money for Trump’s ICE immigration crackdown.

Almost 750 U.S. troops have been wounded or killed in the Middle East since October 2023, an analysis by The Intercept has found. But the Pentagon won’t acknowledge it.

When the Deputy Attorney General suggests sending ICE officers to polling places, it’s not just rhetoric. It’s part of a pattern we’ve seen before, where extreme ideas move from the CPAC stage into government action. This is how those ideas move from provocation to policy.

At a Conservative Political Action Conference, Republicans were eager to start the post-Trump era. But empty convention halls and an anemic speakers list gave many young people in attendance a doomed feeling. "There's no serious discussion going on," one 27-year-old attendee said.

BREAKING: A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, per FT
