“the offensiveness may be a distraction from the destructiveness” this has been our household mantra for years

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

💯

This… Fox News, his appointees, any member of the GOP… they all sound like captives reading from a script in a kidnapping video praising their tormentors.

Kudlow to Hassett: "The unemployment rate is 4.3%, for heaven's sake! That's a boom, for God's sake!"

(The unemployment rate was 4% when Biden left office)

It is just amazing how hard Republicans work to make the US weaker and how much of our money they spend to accomplish this! There must be GOP #Grift in there somewhere.

Let’s not forget that Donald Trump threatened to destroy an entire civilization. We move so quickly through our insane new cycles. But this outrage should be a keeper and not cast quickly to the side because Trump again decided not to make good on an absurd and extreme threat.

Quasi-serious question. Can anyone remember the last time the Republican Party did a good thing?

Could This Actually End Citizens United? Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United.No Supreme Court ruling or constituti

An upcoming Montana ballot referendum would deny corporations the power to spend in state and federal elections.

If it passes in deep red Montana, it could pass anywhere. State by state, this could effectively nullify Citizens United. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fPbGHe3xE

And given how many Q-anon adherents exist in Trump’s orbit, the last line seems to be a dog whistle to the “trust the plan” crapola that comes from that world.

Christianity is the biggest, most profitable scam in America.

His job is to destroy the United States

It’s almost as if this war in Iran is being run by a drunken frat boy and a geriatric drug addict who wants the world to keep pretending he’s not a senile pedophile owned by Putin.

And yet more major media normalization of an erratic and internally incoherent speech full of lies.

No Kings Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend today’s “No Kings” protests.

by @andertoon.bsky.social “Authoritarian movements survive partly by convincing people they are alone. They want citizens to believe that resistance is futile, that nobody else cares, that everyone has accepted the new reality. The No Kings protests shatter that illusion”

Bruce Springsteen on Upcoming Tour: "The E Street Is Built for Hard Times" Bruce Springsteen says The E Street Band "is built for hard times," which is why he felt so compelled to tour the US this spring.

Bruce Springsteen says "I don't worry about" blowback for taking a political stand.

"I've always had a feeling about the position we play culturally, and I’m still deeply committed to that idea of the band. The blowback is just part of it. I'm ready for all that."

Literally central Iowa is blacked out of Cubs, Sox, Brewers, Twins, Cardinals and Royals on MLB TV. Worst TV deal ever

Trump State Dept. Accused of ‘Largest Fee Fraud in History’ of US Immigration System | Common Dreams An immigration researcher at the Cato Institute found that the Trump administration is "raking in billions of dollars in

According to the Cato Institute, The Trump administration is reportedly receiving millions of immigration applications, pocketing the hefty fees, and never processing the applications.

It’s collected over $1 billion in fees so far.

Where is the outcry over this fraud and abuse?

I wear “liberal” like a badge of honor because to me it means believing in democracy over authoritarianism, facts over propaganda, compassion over cruelty, and opportunity over exclusion.

If that’s the label, I’ll take it.👇

Thank you for making me laugh out loud - not much else does

Both Denmark and Iran made preparations to repel a ground invasion from the United States during the past month.

32 more months of this shit.

Saying The Quiet Part Out Loud Dept.-Kinda sounds like he's admitting he interfered in the election with VERY specific statistics.

I quit Twitter because he bought it, way before his confession he stole the election for the Orange Atrocity. 🍊💩

Now I'm SURE I made the right decision! 👍

For months, families lived in fear, children were separated from parents, and two of our neighbors were killed by federal agents.

I’m establishing a council to document the impact of Metro Surge and create a public record of the harm Minnesotans endured. We will not forget.

Tweet by James Talarico responding to criticism from Trump, arguing that policies like cutting healthcare, bombing children, deportations, and covering up Epstein files are what truly “insult Jesus.” The image shows Talarico speaking at a church podium with people seated behind him.

Trump wouldn't know Jesus if He walked across the pool at Mar-a-Lago.

Constituents in her district face lack of access to quality healthcare, rising prices, and concerns about how global instability will affect this agricultural region. Yet the only thing this “lawmaker” can offer is this ridiculous bill. Ashamed to say she is my congressional representative.

It's possible that electing the racist grandfather nobody wants to invite to Thanksgiving dinner was a bad idea.

Q: Can you give one example of fraud in a previous election that the SAVE America Act would stop?

MIKE JOHNSON: Look, we're not gonna litigate all that

The execution of Trump's illegal war against Iran also illustrates what happens when we implement "Voughtism," the philosophy of Russell Vought.

Recall Vought wants to KILL (or "traumatically affect") off the civil service.

How blue states got around the GOP’s efforts to ban abortion in red states Four years ago, shield laws didn't exist. Now, they are one of the strongest weapons in the reproductive-rights arsenal.

Swalwell: "We have a 70-plus-year history of failure not just in Iran, but all over the world, of trying to force regime change. By the way, it's being led by a guy who has more plans for the ballroom he's trying to build than anything he's gonna do next in the Middle East."
