As millions of children go hungry due to SNAP cuts, and millions more Americans go without health care due to Trump's cuts to the Affordable Care Act, we can all sleep easy knowing that JD Vance's kids fly to their private golf lessons on military helicopters that cost over $20,000 per trip.

Overheard in Hollywood: “password: itchybutthole … it’s an oyster bar… No no no it’s all lower case. It’s i-t-c...” …honestly, I only heard like 15% of this convo, but honestly, what more do you need?

I didn’t know about the earliest origin of Memorial Day until I was a grown-ass man —because some folks didn’t want us to. 2021: Memorial Day organizers cut the mic of retired Lt Col Kemter as he discussed how formerly enslaved Americans exhumed remains of soldiers to give them proper burials. 🧵

Fun fact: North Carolina still hasn’t recovered from hurricane Helene, and Trump wants $2 billion to give people who smeared shit on the walls of the Capitol.

🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

Brett Meiselas says RFK Jr. blaming teenagers' sperm and Dr. Oz saying Americans are "under babied" are not only weird—they miss the point. The reason people aren't having kids is simple: income inequality has become so extreme that Americans can barely afford housing and food, let alone raise kids.

Only in America can one party control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, win the popular vote,and hold the majority of governorships... and still blame the other party for everything wrong with this country

Trying to find a single example of MAGA screeching about the Logan Act when Biden was in office and Trump was in Israel, taking to Putin on the phone, or hosting dictators at Mar a Lago. Can’t seem to find one. Weird.

Or maybe, just hear me out, Americans are paying more attention to the Supreme Court than they used to, and they understand the difference between this Court and earlier ones where justices respected precedent.

Lawrence Hurley@lawrencehurley.bsky.social

NEW: Chief Justice John Roberts bemoans that Americans don't understand how the Supreme Court operates and see justices as "political actors". The court at times simply has to make "unpopular" decisions, he adds: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen. COLBERT: Is that an endorsement? OBAMA: It was not

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

RomneyTM reposted

A Supreme Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places the Court at odds with democracy itself. This is the legacy of Chief Justice John Roberts. I opposed his nomination back in 2005, and I stand by that.

Absolute truth from Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Mike Luckovich. We warned you. You did it anyway. At that one moment, all you had to do was check the right box for a thriving, peaceful and successful life. And now every decent American is under complete, life-threatening assault.

To be clear, the MAGA regime is led by a convicted felon who just charged former FBI Director James Comey with a fake crime regarding a year long wasteful investigation into a picture of seashells whilst they are actively illegally covering up and hiding the Epstein Files.

Even a real king is appalled at Trump‘s power grab.

King Charles: "The U.S. Supreme Court Historical Society has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances."

RomneyTM reposted

And just like that, not a single news show I have watched in the last 2 hours has mentioned the illegal war in Iran, the Epstein files, ICE raids, or any of the countless grifts happening within this administration. The media is failing us.

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

The Atlantic released the following statement in response to Kash Patel's lawsuit over their article about his drunken behavior: "We stand by our reporting on Kash Patel, and we will vigorously defend The Atlantic and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit."

The single worst argument for AI adoption is that it exists so we have to use it. You know you can say no right? Just because something is on the table it doesn’t mean you *must* integrate it into your life.

RomneyTM reposted

You always have to pay attention to what is actually happening, not what Trump says is happening. Because Trump lies about everything. Too often media serves as Trump’s daily stenographer, passing along his propaganda verbatim.

China's electrification bet is paying off. Electricity now accounts for 30% of its energy consumption - 50% higher than the US or Europe. With 1/3 of global renewable energy capacity already installed, China is structurally more insulated from rising oil prices than most Western economies.
