I mean I’m fine with everyone on the cabinet getting fired but if the fourth woman gets fired while all the inept alcoholic male creeps stay - well, I guess it’s totally predictable.

If anyone wants to try this again with the next MAGA bootlicker, first question:

“Did Kamala Harris lose the 2024 election?”

They will jump at the chance to say yes. These toads HAVE to.

Then the 2020 question.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This is the language of a failing dictator. Declare victory before the outcome exists, accuse critics of treason, attack the press, and insist that only he can be trusted to finish the job.

Again: young people might not realize that this kind of repugnant racism was unacceptable to express publicly, *not that long ago*.

The background shows sea surface temperature trends, with a prominent blue cold patch, the "cold blob", south of Greenland, contrasting with warming (orange/red) across the rest of the ocean.

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast.

In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically.

Most people have no idea. 🧵

Weird, Iran was at the negotiations table *before* Trump illegally blockaded them, and the blockade actually drove them away from negotiations.

Some of us predicted this, but not all of us!

There are essentially no drawbacks to reducing fossil fuel dependency. Even if you believe anthropogenic climate change is not real, it still saves lives by improving air quality, reduces toxins in the environment, makes cities quieter, and reduces the political power of oil-exporting dictatorships.

Trump Library Saga Takes Dark Turn: Where Did Millions in Funding Go? Four huge media conglomerates forked over $63 million in “settlements” earmarked for Trump’s presidential library. Democrats are trying to track that money—and the latest developments don’t inspire co...

SCOOP --> Paramount, Meta, and X are refusing to say what happened to their huge contributions to Trump's presidential library after Sen Elizabeth Warren raised questions about its fund getting dissolved. Ds say tens of millions remain unaccounted for.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

So on Friday, when there were headlines, and chyrons, and world leaders other than Trump saying "the Strait is open," it was not, in fact, open, and is even more closed now. Clearly both sides want a deal, but to get there the US is going to have to give up its maximalist demands.

That doesn’t really narrow it down.

Browsing this company's website and the only way I can describe what I'm seeing is imagine a school shooter was a management consultant

The 2024 election had the largest Black-White turnout gap in more than three decades. It's a crisis, my friends.

i dont understand, 2 days ago i was told there was a deal, i was told it was over and we got everything we wanted, i was told the strait would never be closed again, i was told all this just as markets were hitting their stride on friday afternoon

I can think of a lot of more accurate and less flattering terms for dudes who travel to other countries to trap foreign women in subservient relationships than “passport bros”

Trump’s strategy for the war in Iran is to take what he wishes would happen and pretend it has already happened.

It has not been working well.

Surely if drivers are running a red light at an intersection 15 times a day (to a level that's clear enough to get ticketed) that calls for a design intervention.

for an idea of how big a deal this is, my mom was in great shape when she got diagnosed and she lasted less than sixty days. six years is insane.

I consistently repeat to folks that they do not in fact ever *succeed* on their own. Sometimes the assistance is visible, often it is submerged. None of the USian billionaires *succeeded* on their own. In fact, most of them continue to benefit from your money, labor, etc....

Aaron Astor: My general tendency is to reject conspiracy theories. And yet, this keeps happening - massive trades just minutes before Trump announces something. And that something (Iran handing over uranium and opening Hormuz) often turns out not to be true at all.

I recently went into an appliance store and asked for the dumbest fridge they had. The industry is so far into “smart appliances” that my request severely restricted the choices.

Even by Poilievre's standards this is just an absurd misrepresentation of reality.

Carney left the Bank of England in early 2020. Inflation didn't take off in the UK until mid-2021 -- the same as every other economy on earth.

The defense secretary is derisively comparing the media to a maligned group of rabbinic Jews, the FBI director is denying reports of drunkenness on the job, the vice president is in a two-front theological war with the pope and Erika Kirk, Donald Trump is still president, and gas is $4. Happy Friday

When your life becomes a case study in karma.

Trump: "Millions of American small businesses, including corner stores. What is a corner store? I've never heard that term. I know what a corner store is but I've never heard it described-- a corner store. Who the hell wrote that?"

The White House doesn’t have a Ballroom (No Taxpayer Money!), which Presidents have desperately wanted and desired for over 150 years, but a Trump Hating, Washington, D.C. District Court Judge, a man who has gone out of his way to undermine National Security, and to make sure that this Great Gift to America gets delayed, or doesn’t get built, is attempting to prevent future Presidents and World Leaders from having a safe and secure large scale Meeting Place, or Ballroom, one with Bomb Shelters, a State of the Art Hospital and Medical Facilities, Protective Partitioning, Top Secret Military Installations, Structures, and Equipment, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Columns, Roofs, and Beams, Drone Proof Ceilings and Roofs, Military Grade Venting, and Bullet, Ballistic, and Blast Proof Glass —which all means that no future President, living in the White House without this Ballroom, can ever be Safe and Secure at Events, Future Inaugurations, or Global Summits. This Magnificent Space will allow them to carry out their vital duties as the Leader of our Nation. Furthermore, the Ballroom, which is being constructed on budget and ahead of schedule, is needed now. Almost all material necessary for its construction is being built and/or on its way to the site, ready for installation and erection. Much of it has already been paid for, costing Hundreds of Millions of Dollars. If somebody, especially one with no standing, had a complaint — Why wasn’t it filed many months earlier, long before Construction was started? The Public Record was open for all to see. Everybody knew that it was planned, and going to be built. This highly political Judge, and his illegal overreach, is out of control, and costing our Nation greatly. This is a mockery to our Court System! The Ballroom is deeply important to our National Security, and no Judge can be allowed to stop this Historic and Militarily Imperative Project. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump rants his ballroom will feature "Bomb Shelters, a State of the Art Hospital & Medical Facilities,Top Secret Military Installations, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Drone Proof Ceilings, Military Grade Venting, & Bullet, Ballistic, & Blast Proof Glass"

Dafuq kind of ballroom is this?

Hegseth: "Our press are just like these Pharisees. Your politically motivated animus for President Trump nearly completely blinds you from the brilliance of our American warriors."
