Life comes at you fast

NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC.

Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.

I will not be lectured about Swalwell — or anything, really — by anyone who still supports Donald Trump after he was found liable for sexual abuse.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

34… 4… what’s a little exaggeration of 30 ships amongst friends?

(4 ships transited yesterday)

Maddow: "Amid all of this insanity it may be a good time to remember that this kind of desperation from the White House and from the president is palpably driven by fear."

Exactly. @juliadavisnews.bsky.social points out this was not the first time👇🏽

Trump is very obviously lying (as usual) and anyone pretending to buy it is just telling on themselves

They fly in Door Dash Grandma for a photo op at Trump’s gilded office while he tells the press that he was really a doctor and not Jesus in the meme he posted about curing a sick man by laying hands on him, before handing $100 bill to grandma for her husband’s cancer treatments.

A sample of some of the victim blaming I’ve heard this weekend:

Why was she drinking?
Why did she send nudes?
Why was she flirting?
The timing is suspicious!
Why did she see him again?
Why didn’t she report it to the police?
Innocent until proven guilty in court!
Are these women being paid?

REMINDER: Saudi Arabia does not want the war in Iran to end before there is regime change. The Saudis are paying a top U.S. negotiator, Jared Kushner, tens of millions annually. The negotiations just ended without a deal, exactly what the Saudis wanted.

I'm really sorry for all the SA survivors having to put up with the onslaught of INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY IN A COURT OF LAW bullshit going around the internet today. I see you, and I know it's traumatizing.

Automatic registration for US military draft-eligible men to begin in December Automatic registration into Selective Service was mandated in December 2025, when President Donald Trump signed into law the fiscal year 2026 NDAA.

If you can automatically register people for the draft, then you can automatically register people to vote. www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

There is NO reason unless she's trying to get out ahead of something. Why on earth would the administration risk putting the Epstein files back into the news cycle? I think (dons tinfoil hat) Ghislaine is threatening to spill the tea in exchange for a pardon.

Anyone wanna take bets on the ceasefire officially breaking down right about the time the stock market closes tomorrow?

Trump agreed to include Lebanon, Netanyahu overruled him.

Who is in charge, exactly?

TL;DR: we killed a bunch of people and blew up a bunch of stuff, all to end up in a worse position than we were in with Obama’s nuclear deal. (4/4)

We’ve gone from demanding freedom of navigation to fantasizing about toll booths in the ocean.

Unreal.

One good use of the supposed two-week ceasefire is to get back to talking about the Epstein files

Most California voters support the state’s newly proposed billionaire tax, according to new polling.

Meanwhile, rich Californians are plotting a $500M slush fund to influence the state's politics.

So they can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections?

See the problem...

Tennessee gave $65 million to Oracle to create jobs— guess we should have specified they be jobs for Americans🫤

Trump’s buddy Ellison is firing Americans and replacing them with foreign workers. (And now owns TikTok, CBS, CNN, etc)

Watch oligarchy work. nationaltoday.com/us/tx/austin...

A reminder that last week, Pam Bondi accidentally released a Jack Smith memo revealing Trump’s motive for stealing and illegally retaining classified documents.

Just to recap:

Russia is currently helping Iranian forces try to kill US troops.

In response, Trump is… lifting sanctions on Russia and threatening to pull out of NATO, which are the #1 and #2 items on Putin’s wishlist

Lawrence O’Donnell made a great point.

Nixon won his 1972 re-election in a landslide, winning 49 states.

In 1974 he resigned.

By 1976, you couldn’t find anyone who would admit to supporting him.

Looking forward to history repeating itself.

Just my opinion, but there should be a constitutional remedy for when the President of the United States addresses the nation and everything he says is either pure lunacy, an unhinged claim or a blatant fabrication.

Just like the 25th amendment, but real.

1. Noem blames Stephen Miller and Trump for ICE violence
2. Noem is fired
3. Lewandowski is fired
4. 2 DHS officials tell the Daily Mail that Stephen Miller instructed ICE to cause violence
5. Someone leaked photos of Noem's husband cross-dressing to the Daily Mail

Do I have that right?

This executive order will be knocked down in record speed.

Not only is it a poorly thought out order, it’s clearly beyond his constitutional authority

Phang: This is so typical of what has happened in this administration.

Michael Flynn sued and is now going to be given $1.5 million in a settlement.

Ashli Babbitt’s family is receiving $5 million.

The Trumps are suing for $10 billion.

Just a snapshot of the type of bullshit that is happening

Yes.

“I’ve been a MAGA supporter since the beginning. I believed in him. He said he would end wars and bring peace. Now look at us.”
