We want to call out a blatant lie spread by Elon Musk. Under his leadership, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) claimed that 40% of calls to the Social Security Administration (SSA) were fraudulent. That’s been thoroughly debunked. An internal review of over 110,000

To the President and Dr. Biden: You are loved by most of us. Prayers!

Former President Joe Biden issued his first public words Monday morning after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. “Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places,” Biden wrote on social media Monday.

Stop with your Biden cover-up conspiracy theories. Here's a partial list of his 4 year term.

It would be elegant if, out of respect and in light of Biden's devastating cancer diagnosis, Tapper would cancel the rest of his book tour and just leave well enough alone. Let the man deal with his situation in private and without further public reprimand. Please don't @ me. No patience today.

what she said

I know how organized the “pass the torch” anti Biden movement was within the press circles. I’m not in DC nor member of WHCA now, but given this, I can only assume how organized this whole anti Biden movement is. I question the timing and the real reason behind it. To help DJT - yes. With what?

If @msnbc is going to have random physicians who have never treated Biden speculating about him, maybe they can find some to speculate about Trump’s apparent medical issues.

The hypocrisy awakens, even as they sleep!

If you’re born in America, you’re an American. Pass it on.

With mandatory spending like say, Medicaid, congress doesn’t appropriate it. It’s automatic. But the CUT it they have to change the law, and that’s what they want to do. The truth about spending youtu.be/EHPk1c-LhqA

Like Pritzker's approach to this more and more!

You fought for habeas corpus, put it in your constitution, and now you’re just gonna let a game show host take it away? You’re not losing your rights. You’re handing them over.

If your MAGA relatives try to justify the Qatar plane gift by bringing up the Statue of Liberty, remind them Congress voted to approve that gift, and we’d be happy to have Congress vote on the plane, too!

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

The tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar is, apparently, a new $5.5 billion Trump golf course in Qatar.

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

Ok. But even if it’s not a done deal yet, the fact giving Trump a jet is “under consideration” tells you all you need to know about what countries are being told they need to do to be an ally with America under Trump. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Congress is not going to reverse habeas corpus—-and no, the president can’t do it himself. Why does Stephen Miller bring it up on a Friday? To try to distract us from the havoc they are wreaking across the economy.

Who needs a $400 million “palace in the sky” when you can have two or three dolls and a couple of pencils instead.

We are living in a time when monsters roam the globe. They are destroying countless lives, fueling hate, spreading fear. What is our moral obligation as human beings in the face of this? How do we maintain integrity in a time of monsters? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-68f

Trump will be out of office one day, one way or another, so I'd like to remind everyone who's breaking laws on the assumption that Trump will always be there to protect them and pardon them that the reckoning will come for them all eventually. Sort of a Final Destination film, but with prison time.

Those who spent the last 5 years howling about Hunter Biden being on the board of a Ukrainian company on the grounds that he would not have been granted that position if Ukraine did not want to influence Joe Biden now say they believe the Qataris just want Trump to have nice things for no reason

Morbidly curious if Iran could come up with a gift to Trump big enough to get him to “it’s fine if they have nukes. Big deal.”

Better refill your prescriptions now, because you may not be able to get them soon.

Imagine that. #SwampForceOne ✈️

Bash: "The costs of tariffs are paid by American consumers." Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick responds, grinning like a Cheshire cat: “I disagree with that." Bash: "Well, okay, most economists disagree with you on that, and we have seen it passed off time and time again to the American consumer."

If members of the WH Press Corp don’t ask this question RELENTLESSLY they should turn in their badges.

So far, zero judges have agreed we are in a "state of war."

“But some worry” is two people in this article.

Thou shalt not vote for monsters who evict your mothers.

Yep…and this latest bribe pales in comparison to the bribes coming in via his crypto scams.

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

"The President is selling access and influence to the highest bidder. Qatar isn't giving a $400 million jet out of the goodness of their hearts – they expect something in return. That's how transactional relationships work, and nobody understands transactional relationships better than Trump."

Sorry to be harsh, guys, but it seems like it might have been a bad idea to put the last living member of the California Raisins in charge of our healthcare system.

When Trump... -Holds a private dinner for his crypto coin buyers  -Promotes Teslas on the White House driveway on behalf of a multibillionaire who spent $277M backing him -Uses state visits to advance his hotel business It's corruption, plain and simple.

Fun fact: AG Pam Bondi, who approved Trump’s $400M jet gift from Qatar, was a paid lobbyist for Qatar, earning $115K a month.

Why do so many Americans not have empathy for anyone? Do they think this makes them look cool? It makes them look weak.
