Well, this is fun. 😂 Ottawa, Canada, is considering renaming Trump Avenue, and two of the top contenders are “Obama Avenue” and “Taco Avenue.” 🇨🇦

It’s Lake Ontario.

"The press should have forcefully responded to the unhinged anti-vaccine garbage pushed by the president," @brettlogiurato.bsky.social writes, noting that the news media did not aggressively counter the anti-vaccine rhetoric being promoted out of the Oval Office. www.status.news/p/trump-vacc...

If the Baltimore Orioles were to win a World Series -- a moment I've waited on for four decades now -- and showed up as a team to grip and grin with a corrupt, racist, pedophilic narcissist who debases our republic at every turn, I would never be seen at Camden Yards again. Fuck the L.A. Dodgers.

Today, the House passed a War Powers Resolution to bring this senseless conflict to an end. The Senate must do the same.

I wrote this because I believe as the DNC considers the ‘28 primary calendar, there’s a larger conversation we need to have about Black voters, political power, & the future of the Democratic Party. My latest: Keeping Faith with the Voters Who Kept Faith with Us. open.substack.com/pub/jaimehar...

Politicians usually show up at the border to demonize & fear-monger. We just drove 750 miles from El Paso to the Valley to show off the beauty & potential of our border communities. We’re showing up for Texans along the border who've been left behind by both political parties.

In one week, leaders, organizers, advocates, elected officials, and changemakers from across Maryland will gather for the 2026 Fight Back & Win Summit & Gala. The conversations. The connections. The strategy. It all takes place on June 27. www.mdpsummit.com/

Such a truthful representation of today’s events at the White House 😡🤬

The first, but not the last, image like this. We will tear it all down.

Oh I thought it was about this 🤣🤣✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊

A clean, cogent argument can be made that while there are a great many accomplices involved, three men are predominantly responsible for the end of the American Century and the collapse of our republic: Newt Gingrich, Rubert Murdoch and Mark Burnett. I'm not here to argue, only to mourn.

Maryland, we have a major announcement! The Maryland Democratic Party and Governor Wes Moore are proud to welcome President Joe Biden to Maryland for the 2026 Fight Back & Win Gala on June 27, 2026 at Maryland Live! Two leaders. One historic night. Tickets are available now at www.mdpsummit.com/

The move is a strong rebuke of Trump’s efforts to pressure southern states into passing GOP gerrymanders ahead of the midterms, after the Supreme Court gutted key protections that had long shielded Black voting power from racial gerrymandering.

In an unprecedented move, the Trump administration has granted industrial facilities in 38 states and Puerto Rico a two-year reprieve from federal rules under the Clean Air Act. The president is considering exempting even more.

It’s ok to strongly dislike Netanyahu. Hell, it’s ok to strongly dislike Israel as a whole. It’s not ok to blame all Jewish people for the actions of Bibi or Israel. That’s like blaming all Christians because Donald Trump is an asshole.

It actually is this simple.

Fair pricing. No exceptions. This law protects Marylanders from being charged different prices based on personal data—bringing transparency and accountability to everyday costs like groceries.

Reminiscent of MAGA adherents changing their entire world view every time Trump shitpost some fresh assertion or claim and lurches in whatever direction advantages him in the moment.

A commenter notes that "Trump managed to be both Hitler and Chamberlain in the same negotiation. An unprecedented feat." 😭

I am leaving the Washington Post to join a new journalistic venture backed by Politico founder Robert Allbritton that will be both the hometown publication the D.C. region sorely needs and a scrappy and fearless national news organization. I hope you'll join us.

My money once again is on this guy

If there's ever a moment when the leaders of a nation need to be clear, definitive and consistent with a message, it is in response to this question: "Why are we going to war." This is misrule by the worst cadre of incompetent, beshitted cartoon characters ever gathered together in modern history.

@hillaryclinton.bsky.social: "I don't understand why it's so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is."

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

Live look of Sir Sherrod Brown

In Fulton County, there had been a mystery as to what the evidence that the magistrate used to find probable cause would it look like. Now there’s a new mystery: how in the world did the magistrate approve this bunch of recycled and discredited allegations to find probable cause?

NBC edited out JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. CBS and ABC paid millions in bogus settlements to fund Trump. CNN made Scott Jennings a rightwing star. The Washington Post laid off 300 journalists. Support independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

As we await Senate action on the remaining spending bills, remember that Susan Collins could make a difference by stripping out DHS from the rest of the government funding bills. But she won't because she is just as MAGA as the rest of them.

Venezuela. Greenland... Donald Trump is a warmongering, neocolonial maniac. And the rest of the United States government has not the capacity nor the courage to address that reality.

Suspended Harvard conservative magazine used Nazi symbols / language, internal group chats were full of slurs, and articles for next issue were to call for mass executions of "tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of individuals" and defended the Spanish Inquisition www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

I was right

To be very clear - questions of whether Epstein provided compromising information on Trump to Putin - which then in turn explains Trump’s dangerous subservience to Putin - is back on the table.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Let's do the list: - Fell asleep at desk during live Oval event - Has twice disappeared from public view for extended periods - Has unexplained visible bruising, still no explanation for MRI or mid-year "check up" - Frequently confabulates, makes no sense when speaking - Weight gain, dishevelment
