The President spent more on bombs in ONE WEEK of his war with Iran than we spend in an entire YEAR to help parents afford child care.
Trump & RFK Jr. are asking to spend $500B more for war—but they won't increase funding for child care by a cent.
Hey as long as we're on the topic of "democrats" who need to f*ck right off into the sun, let's not forget about Matt Mahan.

Fisherman. We're blowing up fishing boats.
In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.
When does it just become The Washington Times-Post?
Social media analytics show that I lose followers every time I share my article about men needing to stop being pathetic little manbabies and instead step up and hold other men accountable to stop rape culture.
Oh, whoops, sharing it again. And won't stop either

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂
MTG walked across the one red line MAGA said could never be crossed. She questioned the Butler mythology. The electric fence was off. That is Stage 4. You are watching it.
Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."
... but any remaining sense of self-control.
"Everyone around him can see it. Yet, whether from ambition, cowardice, or weary acceptance, they keep looking for ways to rationalize his behavior. The tragedy is no longer Trump’s. It is now America’s."
The verdict of a prominent conservative website and magazine:
"A 79-year-old man who has long dealt in chaos is now being consumed by that chaos. His episodes are becoming more frequent, his good days further apart. What he has lost is not a sense of decency or decorum—he never had those...
Doesn’t seem ideal
Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.
Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.
Oh well. Good job Virginia!!
If Republicans hate the CA and VA redistricting, they can thank the person responsible - Donald J. Trump.
None of it would’ve been possible without his leadership on this issue.
Also fascinating that Indiana redistricting did not happen in part because a powerful Republican state senator was fed up with Trump using the r-word.
A proud Minnesotan through and through.
10 years after his passing, I’m joining folks around the world in honoring Prince by listening to Purple Rain today.
I feel like it's poorly understood that Trumpism is *explicitly* about Trump and his allies getting to play by their own set of rules literally wherever possible
And the media falling over themselves to report "news" that are just Trump's Truth Social posts. No formal press conferences, Marco Rubio apparently is drunk/high with Patel and Hegseth, and we just pretend this is all normal now.
If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for?
The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.
Republicans are acting like it’s a flex that Alan Dershowitz, Jeffrey Epstein’s former attorney, left the Democratic Party.
Good riddance to that creep!
Trump doesn't know what to do when his bullying and bluster fails.
WATCH: Trump’s Energy Secretary Chris Wright admits to @hirono.senate.gov the Trump administration “knew exactly what would happen” with skyrocketing costs if the president launched his illegal war against Iran.
Rep. Robert Garcia: "Unfortunately, I have to announce that Democratic members will not participating. This roundtable is not a real hearing. It's set up to appear like one. We should be clear about why that's happening. Last week, Pam Bondi skipped a legally required deposition ... "
Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

NEW: Watchdog group @weareoversight.bsky.social sued the Trump administration over records "that would shed light on how multiple federal agencies are accessing, sharing, and using Americans’ sensitive personal data through systems built by Palantir" — specifically at CDC, DHS, IRS, and SSA (1/2)
Sen. Kennedy to Warsh: "My worry is that a lot of this stuff about artificial intelligence making us more productive is a bunch of hype by people who want to sell stock and an IPO. I'd be careful there."
