This is what the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool looks like today after a $17M deliberate fuck up and the orange felon won’t stop until he destroys everything. Makes me sick to my stomach every day.

Already annoyed AF at the annoying ass MAGA coded red headed Karen on #TraitorsUS who hurls her southern white woman tears & accusations around and insists she’s correct & everyone else is a liar. 🙄 it’s giving “Donald Trump is the greatest President & I refuse to hear anything else”

FACTS: 🚩 FoodNet went from tracking 8 key pathogens to just 2 🚩 The CDC division associated with Barratt had nearly $30 million in funding cut, and its staff was reduced from 11 to 3

Fuck this

$900 billion for defense gets a pass every year, but there is never enough for Medicaid, maternal care, or mental health. In the wealthiest nation on Earth, the poor don't lack resources--corrupt Republicans lack a conscience. #FundHealthcareNotWars

This is just another day in news from America now... Corruption in plain sight, normalized, everyone knows no one will do anything about it. Why does any country or business think they can safely do business in America anymore? It's a gangster kleptocracy. fortune.com/2026/05/18/t...

fortune.comWhile Trump insisted the Iran war would end ‘soon,’ an account in his name was 'Selling America' | FortuneA brokerage account bearing the president's name made 3,642 trades in the first quarter of 2026—hedging against a war he publicly said was nearly won.

Such fucking BULLSHIT! Yet black people could never get reparations, the injustice and corruption of this place is fucking disgusting

This should be the headline story on every news publication and telecast including local news every day for several days. But it won’t. It will be shrugged off like so much else by so much of media. The most corrupt thing that has ever come out of the US govt.

Buttigieg on Duffy: "I love roadtrips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded roadtrip lasted about 7 months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different. To make roadtrips unaffordable & then go around celebrating your own roadtrip is actually why people are frustrated about"

When I start to feel bad for Nia, I remember this is the Christian trad wife “submit to my husband” BULLSHIT life she signed up for. They eat this shit up every Sunday. This is THAT lifestyle on full display for all to see. #TheValley

Nia dragging that baby everywhere & Danny being fkg annoying JUST to desperately cling onto their spots on this show is SO pathetic. Like we do NOT need to see you two bickering on this show, go take that baby home if you can’t ever leave her behind. They need to go. #TheValley

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

Alternet: As the national gas price average passes $4 a gallon and continues to climb, Trump has made it very clear that he doesn’t want to accept responsibility for the high price tag, blaming Joe Biden instead. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

the country is at war and the president is leaving DC this afternoon for a weekend at his private club in Florida that he'll spend with his paying customers

They’re even incompetent when breaking the law

When the Trump admin sued Oklahoma for not responding to it's demand that they turn over voter rolls, Oklahoma didn't know what they were talking about. Seems they sent three requests but addressed them to the wrong person at an email address that doesn't exist. newrepublic.com/post/207712/...

Worst motherfucking president in the history of ANY fkg country jfc

When a US missile killed 160 children, president shits-a-lot claimed Iran stole the missile and fired at the school. When asked why he was the only one making this claim, he said "because I just don't know enough about it". Go ahead. See if you can make this make sense. (Source: RB Hubbell)

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power — that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c

While we're talking about Live Nation/Ticketmaster's sweetheart antirust settlement, a reminder that it paid ZERO federal income tax last year on $145M in profits— largely due to Trump's tax cuts. Trump works on behalf of the most powerful corporations. Not you.

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson. Respect recognizes respect.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.
