🚨 Trump’s golf course hearing took a stunning turn as a top Interior Department official claimed he learned about Trump’s construction plans from Truth Social. The judge also ordered him to preserve his personal phone after a surprising revelation about who was sending him golf course designs.

It's a scandal that the president of the United States is out of his damn mind. It's also a scandal that major news media aren't telling you that, loudly and often.

just saw a story about the second season of Three-Body Problem coming soon and I mean surely we can come up with a better TV system than "hey remember that thing you watched eight episodes of two and a half years ago? no? you don't? you can't remember the plot or characters at all? well we're back!"

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matthew 6:5-6

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

Trump is now threatening to report NBC’s Kristen Welker to the FCC for “rebuke or punishment” because she said his endorsements have had “mixed results.” He then calls on FCC Chair Brendan Carr to “take this Threat to our Country very seriously.” Truly psychotic and anti-American.

We have become a wicked country where those in power do horrible, hurtful things for the cheap applause of our worst citizens. Which jobs, exactly, did 5-year-old Liam Tadeo steal from the MAGA Republican cult, Stephen Miller?

Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment. It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem. History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.

Fossil fuel demand is still growing — but solar and wind are growing faster. EVs are surging as oil prices spike. The transition is happening. The question is whether we accelerate it fast enough to avoid the worst. Speed matters. #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy

Dolly Parton gave away millions of books to children. Donald Trump is only interested in building monuments to himself. Dolly Parton spread love to many people. Donald Trump appears to hate everyone who doesn’t bow to him.

North Korea is good. Canada is bad. Coal is good. Solar is bad. Measles is good. Vaccination is bad. Child rapists are good. Childcare is bad. Pointless wars are good. Universal healthcare is bad. Anyone supporting the unrelenting chaos of the #GOP deserves zero respect. #RemoveTrump

In 1965, CEOs were paid 21 times as much as a typical worker. Today, that number has spiked to 281. The system is rigged and it's time we level the playing field.

JD Vance: "The problem with Abdul is that he claims to stand for the working people, and yet opposes Trump’s policies.” Yeah…and……..? Was this intended to be some sort of flex? Explain the supposed point being made here.

This is STILL bullshit. They’re playing Keep Away with him. It’s like asking someone with both hands behind their back what they’re hiding. “Nothing.” (shows one hand) “What’s in your other hand?” “Nothing.” (shows other hand while hiding the first one again)

60 years ago today, BATMAN was released in theaters, and not only is one of the great underrated comedies of the '60s, but when it comes to delivering the message "some days you just can't get rid of a bomb," it's second to nun.

If our democracy is still around in 2029, we will need to create a “Never Again” style memorial in Washington dedicated to cataloging all the death and destruction the Trump regime has inflicted upon this country.

and then to listen to this fucker petting himself on the back for the money the defense companies are making (while *he and his family* directly profit from those companies)

TRUMP ON HIS POINTLESS WAR: “We’re making a lot of money. The defense companies are doing great.”🤔 Unreal. There you have it, folks.

Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊

A free and independent press plays an important role in holding those in power accountable. When journalists are broadly dismissed as enemies or unreliable without evidence, public oversight can weaken. An informed public is essential to democracy.

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

I’m all for product safety, but whoever decided to take those foil seals you get on things like bottles of coffee cream and glue them down with superglue so that you can’t pull them off, you have to puncture them with a knife, deserves to be taken out and shot.
