While Russia murders Ukrainians and helps Iran target Americans, Witkoff is busy groveling before Putin as if he’s forgotten whose interests he’s supposed to represent. It's a shameful, humiliating spectacle, unworthy of anyone speaking on behalf of the United States.

Trump-friendly oligarchs are buying up major media with the regime's help. They control CNN, CBS, Fox, TikTok, Meta, X and major local TV chains. Yet Mike Johnson is still claiming liberal bias. The real media conspiracy is the corporate consensus to normalize Johnson and other right-wing radicals.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

😡😡😡

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

For years, the Trump admin has launched slanderous attacks against Rep. Omar. This morning, the administration sent federal officials to raid her home. We cannot and will not accept this unprecedented abuse of power. I stand with @repilhan.bsky.social. apnews.com/article/ilha...

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

The fraternity brothers in the group chat who cheer violence? That behavior is being modeled by the president of this country. I cannot stress this enough — Trump is teaching young men how to be abusive every time he opens his mouth.

1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.

The American Bar Association laid out the receipts. Big donors get appointments. Big money flows in, investigations disappear, pardons follow, regulations loosen and foreign governments get favorable treatment. The article calls it an “unprecedented pay-to-play culture.” #PayToPlayPresident

Next time you’re struggling to pay for gas or groceries, remember this image.

X is owned by the GOP's largest donor and the platform's algorithm forces everyone on the site to see all of his Tweets. Here's why America has a liberal media bias problem.

“My badge didn’t work, the officer asked me to hand it over.” MS NOW White House reporter Akayla Gardner says she has indeed been banned by authoritarian fascist Trump, as he throws a tantrum over the coverage of his countless failures.

OK news agencies and broadcasters with a presence in the White House Briefing Room, and indeed the WHCA: your test has arrived. It is not hard to pass. You just need to not attend WH Briefings for as long as this rule is in force. That’s it. Does your commitment to a free press mean anything or not?

For the fuckteenth time, how the HELL did we ever let this fascist fuckface back in the White House?

We're officially entering the Fuhrerbunker phase of the Trump presidency

Schiff to Patel: "I will remind you, bc you probably need reminding that while this Congress is not going to investigate the wrongful termination of potentially hundreds of agents, the next Congress will. And you have an obligation as FBI director to ensure none of the [documents] are destroyed"

Listen to him laughing about the cheating. As if he’s kidding. But of course he’s not kidding. He’d gladly let everyone in that room go to jail if it saved his pathetic skin.

Nothing divided the citizens more than “Citizens united” 😕 💰

Gov. Jim Pillen has aligned himself with President Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda. But for more than a decade, his hog business has employed undocumented laborers, The @nytimes.com and Flatwater Free Press found. Read more 🔗 buff.ly/rOH1O9Q

Wouldn't it be weird if the racist billionaire who bankrolled and took credit for the neo-Nazi victory in Germany was somehow involved in American politics too? Can you even imagine? I bet the media would have a field day asking politicians who aligned with him and took his money for statements!

We're deep into Mad King territory here and yet there will still be people on the Sunday shows today pretending that the president isn't a mentally deranged despot

Texas just suspended 1.2 million voter registrations because Talarico is beating Paxton in the polls. And OF COURSE they won’t tell us how many of those voters come from Democratic districts. Texas isn’t a democracy. It’s a racist fascist state.

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.

We’re not changing it.

the year is 2027. gas costs $83 and lettuce is at war with us. however every location on every map now says AMERICA

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

"The Emperor is a fan of Flock, and we must continue utilizing Flock technologies so that we can follow and surveil the rebel scum as they move from playground to playground... They are following children in parks and gymnasiums, and we need this. I need this so I can stalk my ex-girlfriend."

This is a good summary of why riding a bicycle is so dangerous in the US.

perfect synopsis of modern Republicanism

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

News: The U.S. economy grew at a disappointing 1.5% in the 2nd quarter of 2026. Congratulations to @sarahbca.bsky.social for her “Bookmark this” comment last December when Howard Lutnick said 2Q of 2026 would be “amazing.” @atrupar.com

It’s a damn disgrace that an innocent man who represented America in multiple Olympics and did nothing wrong was arrested and charged with a federal crime by hack Jeanine Pirro solely because Trump doesn’t want to admit he fucked up the pool with his usual incompetence.

News outlets that covered the US-Saudi nuclear deal without mentioning that Jared Kushner, Trump’s top foreign policy advisor, is getting paid by the Saudi government: WSJ NYT AP Reuters CNN NBC ABC CBS The Guardian Semafor Washington Post Fox News New York Post BBC Newsweek MS NOW

Seen in Cleveland, Ohio.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

The US built the greatest talent magnet ever, attracting the smart, skilled, and striving. They’d come to study, then stay and build things here, or leave with positive impressions and fruitful connections. Helped make the US wealthy and powerful. Then America chose to throw it away. And for what?

Every time they make it harder for foreign students to study here, they're just jacking up the tuition costs for American students and robbing America of incredible new talent too.

"Stop criticizing us or will keep murdering people" is just a jaw-dropping thing for a government official to say.
