“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Every bit of this 👇

JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of. 1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.

Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad. "This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."

When the rally’s running long and the nachos are gone.

Nothing says rugged independence like a Socialist bailout.

Oh, Donald . . . That's not a gym. It's a gay bathhouse. And you have *never* looked like that.

“He fucked up the East Wing… He fucked up Covid response. He fucked up the FBI. He fucked up DOJ. He fucked up SCOTUS. He fucked up USAID. He fucked up FEMA. He fucked up gas prices… He fucked up the whole damn country… Please America un-fuck it up!” @snarkypoliticoguy.bsky.social @sundaedivine.lol

The only people who loved the "Big Beautiful Bill" were billionaires and corporations, and people too ignorant to understand what was in it or too clueless to realize that Trump lies constantly and everything they were told about it wasn't true.

In case facts still matter

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

“Total dirtbag” @ Eric Schmitt relies on fast-talking as cover for his gotcha moment, based on lies. He confused the ATL Hawks for the Iowa Hawkeyes, then got angry when he was busted in the hearing. Thanks Atty. Jack Smith & Sen. Klobuchar, for catching the lie & getting the truth into the record.

This is how you write a headline about the Eric Schmitt hearing debacle. @rollingstone.com

There was a moment when the US was taken over by enemies and criminals, the incompetent, the corrupt, and the malevolent. They control our government now and will use every means at their disposal, legal and illegal, to try to stop the rest of us from restoring law, order, and decency to US society.

Capital Day street festival will commemorate Lancaster's brief stint as nation's capital LANCASTER, Pa. (WHTM) -- One interesting historical fact you might not have known: Lancaster briefly served as the capital of the United States in 1777. It was only for a single September day; as not…

Marco Rubio: “Iranians are radical religious lunatics.” Also: Have you met Paula White, the White House faith advisor?

A couple weeks ago I noticed a sign on the road that said "Republican puppies for sale” and then today the sign said "Democrat puppies for sale. I stopped and asked the breeder why the puppies changed parties and he said, “Well, ma’am now they have their eyes open."

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟏𝐭𝐡, 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟐𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬. UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS 🦋 Approximately 6,000 undocumented immigrants were taken to ground zero to clean up the rubble. Many are suffering from cancer/other health issues because of the work they did & are now being targeted by #ICE.

25 years later, September 11 remains a day of remembrance.

Thousands of immigrants did the hard, dirty work of clearing rubble and toxic dust and debris from Ground Zero. Many were undocumented laborers sent to work every day with no special PPE, and got cancer as a result. Now some of those same people are living in fear of ICE. www.npr.org/2026/09/11/n...

Seriously, other than distraction from Epstein files does anyone really know why the fuck are we in a trade war with Canada? CANADA? They’ve fought beside us in almost every war since WWII. They even help California battle wildfires. Hang in there Canada, we'll impeach and remove this clown.

Canada - we are so very sorry. America is losing our allies and our trading partners. Lake America is a farce. The tariffs are an economic disaster. For those of you who are embarrassed and angry, let's take action together volunteerblue.org?utm_source=B...

And, he’s a pedophile.

Here’s an idea: give Ukraine the license to make patriots and some patriots. After they’re making them they can send new ones back to us if we still need. Inexcusable to be short on interceptors and not allow greater manufacturing It’s a sin

The company that makes the gloves, Compliant Technologies, says they're a nonlethal tool to make individuals compliant during arrests.

Congress: “We’ve tried nothing and we’re fresh out of ideas.”

Nope….Blanche is unqualified to clean the toilets at the DOJ!
