PSA: when Trump, @MarshaBlackburn, @BrentTaylorTN and other Republicans mock “socialism” what they’re really mocking is the idea of caring about other people

If Netanyahu’s goal is to see how low he can drive 🇮🇱’s approval numbers in 🇺🇸 he is crushing it

What? A sudden 30% decline in national housing prices would be a sign we're in like a serious depression. After the housing bubble burst in 2006/2007, national house prices fell "only" 27% peak to trough fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CSUSH...

The news story about Donald Trump being desperate for immunity for tax fraud & the news story about Donald Trump being kicked to the curb by Capital One for widespread money laundering are RELATED.

“The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed.” Sometimes it arrived burnt.

Remember how *hysterical* Republicans got when Obama bowed to the Emperor of Japan in 2009? Well, here is Trump bowing before the President of China—and not a peep from the MAGA outrage machine.

Trump's insecure and childish inability to ever admit to making a mistake is really going to catch up with him on this very public, obvious mistake. He's making possibly the worst verbal flub in American presidential history even worse by stamping his little feet in foolish defiance.

I too have written about white conservatives in southern state legislatures rushing through bullshit changes to the law just to thwart the advancement of literally one black man, but I'm a historian who writes about the Jim Crow era South and not a reporter discussing current fucking events there.

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

There wasn’t a single Democratic elected official who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death. Not one. Donald Trump is openly celebrating Robert Mueller’s death and no Republicans are condemning him. Both sides are not the same.

Shady JD Vance in 2024: " Our interest, I think, very much is in not going to war with Iran.  It would be a huge distraction of resources. It would be massively expensive to our country." (H/T Home of the Brave)

Robby: I'm shocked! Shocked to find that white nationalism is going on in here. [Twitter hands Renault a pile of clicks and links and mentions] Twitter: Your white nationalist traffic, sir Robby: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Remember the moral panic about safetyism? Trigger warnings? Snowflakes? Well, its actually happening in Texas.

This is just unconscionable man

There needs to be a class action suit against RFK, Jr., NIH, and Donald Trump for endangering the lives of Americans with their kooky, unscientific negligence.

🚨In December 2016, Epstein invited Bill Gates to his island and informed him that “new administration people” were visiting. This was sent exactly one month before Trump was inaugurated for his first term.

BREAKING: The Trump administraiton has committed a mass violation of ICE detainees' constitutional rights in MN, effectively blocking their acess to attorneys in the Whipple building, a judge ruled tonight. The judge: Trump appointeee Nancy Brasel storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We now have data from Trump's first full year in office. Let's review the performance of Trump and the two parties since 1989 and a new age of globalization began. However you cut the data Trump continues to have worst jobs record of last six Presidents. 1/

Pam Bondi couldn’t even come prepared for her own staged temper tantrum. this is the nation’s “top law enforcement” official btw 🤡 maybe she became a lawyer because the acting career didn’t work out!!

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Administrative subpoenas intended to unmask critics of government action are just the tip of the speech-chilling iceberg. My latest at MS NOW: www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Republicans just had a press conference showing photos of ICE arrests of "pedophiles, drug traffickers, murderers," and Democrats should do the same thing but with pictures of ICE agents who committed the same crimes.

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record. And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once. The masks are justified by a lie. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...

Trump went from telling everyone that the the Clintons are guilty to being terrified they might testify. If you don’t know better, you might think they have some dirt on him

Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."? Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.

MELANIA has been nominated for Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Cinematography in the FIFA Oscars

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

The federal presence in Minnesota has been especially tough on our local businesses. Choosing to shop local, grab takeout, or visit a neighborhood store is one way we can stand with our neighbors and continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

CNN: “Trump called you a loser.” REPUBLICAN @SenThomTillis: “I’m thrilled about that. That makes me qualified to be homeland security secretary AND senior advisor to the president.” 🔥 👀

Mad King demands guards search homes of everyone who said he didn’t have clothes

One thing I see liberal outlets giving ground on that I feel the need to correct: it’s impossible to “dox” a paid public official By simply reporting their name, institutional role, and political affiliations

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims. We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear. Never again means never again for anyone.

Opinion | To deescalate in Minnesota, Republicans need to stop killing people in the streets, and Democrats need to stop talking about the ones they've already killed.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Whistles should be banned instead of masked murdering out-of-control, lawless Proud Boy thugs with assault weapons, tear gas, arrested development, and anger issues. Fascist Fox News and its alumni trash are destroying our democracy.

If Democrats haven't announced their proposal for the Donald Trump No Guns in Public bill by the end of the day, they're missing an easy shot

Has anyone been able to identify the “if you raise your voice, I erase your voice” agent? Because that’s someone who, for public safety, should be named and identified and warned about.

Glenn Greenwald of all people nailed it. bsky.app/profile/angr...

"And because we had no assistance from the state of Minnesota, our semi-literate army of misfit goons is obviously now allowed to murder the citizens of that state at will."

John Roberts struck down the ACA’s Medicaid expansion as a 10A violation because the law was, as he called it, a “gun to the head” of the states who did not want to help their residents. Now Trump’s putting *literal* guns to the heads of Minnesota’s residents to force their gov’t to betray them.

You don't have to know anything about what the Supreme Court says to understand that the federal government has no legal warrant extort through violence what it is not legally entitled to under constitution and law.
