If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare… Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

Trump just called those asking about the Epstein files “pretty bad people” and “fake news.” Is he finally turning on his base or just nervous we’re getting too close to the flight log?

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Trump: I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody. It's pretty boring stuff. I think really only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going.

This could come in handy for a lot of people. Spread the word

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

‘Worst of the worst’ doesn’t apply if you wear a flag pin and yell ‘freedom’ in all caps.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

If ICE is arresting "the worst of the worst," why are Donald Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Pamela Jo Bondi, Jim Jordan, Kristi Noem, and Ted Cruz all still free?

Is there a definition of dumbass in the dictionary? If there is and this guy is not pictured next to it “we’ve got to have a better system” of coming up with dictionaries.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Ted Cruz: "Something went wrong ... we're got to have a better system of warning to get kids out of harm's way."

GOP: The budget pays for itself with growth. CBO: That’s not growth, that’s swelling. See a doctor.

Justin Wolfers@justinwolfers.bsky.social

GOP: Our budget will reduce the deficit CBO: It'll increase the deficit by $2.4 trillion GOP: But with greater growth, it'll pay for itself CBO: Accounting for growth it's $2.3 trillion GOP: ... CBO: Also, more debt raises interest rates, so the true effect is $2.8 trillion.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Paging democratic leaders… this French senator just handed you the script. Maybe stop tiptoeing around it and call it what it is.

Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

This would be beyond fucked up. It used to be that the GOP at least pretended to play fair. Now, they don’t even bother hiding it. Just funnel the cash straight to the billionaire bootlickers and call it ‘policy.’

When reality doesn’t cooperate, just lie louder. When the people turn against them, call them ‘paid actors’ and shut down the town halls. Classic GOP playbook—run away, deflect, and hope the outrage fades before accountability catches up. 🙄

Ken Martin@kenmartin.bsky.social

Speaker Johnson, the folks speaking out at GOP town halls across the country aren’t paid protesters. They’re Americans who are mad as hell at an administration that doesn’t care about them. Grow a spine.

AI finally captured the true essence of the Oval Office meeting with Zelenskyy. Along with delivering undeniable proof that some political figures are just a few evolutionary steps behind.

Elon Musk? A Nazi? No way. Sure, he’s done the salute, platformed extremists, and has a very interesting South African pedigree… but come on, let’s be fair. How about we say he’s just really bad at coincidences and quit stressing him out? Come on people, show some DOGE type of decency.

George Takei@georgetakei.bsky.social

If it walks like a Nazi, talks like a Nazi, and salutes like a Nazi… Keep the online pressure up, friends. And boycott Tesla. Find out more about local protests at teslatakedown.com

There’s a good chance that somewhere in the multiverse, this actually happened. And let’s be honest, plenty of people wish we were living in that reality. 😂

Says the turd who never stops whining ‘rigged this, witch hunt that’ while marinating in his own I’m a victim complex. Easy to preach from a golden toilet when you’re propped up by the very oligarchs & cowards bleeding the world dry. This isn’t leadership… it’s cowardice.

Trump just said that for negotiations to resume, Zelensky must say he wants peace, rather than “Putin this, Putin that, all negative things.”

JD Vance inserting himself to lecture Zelenskyy on gratitude is peak arrogance. If the roles were reversed, he’d be polishing Putin’s boots without question. The hypocrisy is nauseating.

Macron just gave a masterclass in not letting Trump’s lies slide. Take notes world. This is how you handle a weakling with a big mouth.

NOELREPORTS@noelreports.com

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

They’re so fragile that the mere presence of a Puerto Rican makes them seethe. Our existence is resistance and clearly, it haunts their them.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@aoc.bsky.social

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

I suspect he’s just setting up an excuse for the platform’s tanking user count. Nothing says ‘free speech’ like banning criticism of your favorite orange overlord.

Great! And I’d say this could go a step further. Cancel the Amazon subscription if you have one. Look for alternatives to each one of these businesses. Quit them altogether if possible. Money is really the only language they understand.

Imagine the headline below. And they could call it a ‘special operation’ to ‘liberate’ Hispanic communities. What would the narrative be? How would the world react? It may seem surreal. But is it anymore absurd than what’s unfolding in #Ukraine? #StandwithUkraine
