Trump trips over his ignorance while trying to talk about the basics of inflation Maybe if the president understood the rudimentary details about economic data and recent events, he wouldn’t be failing so spectacularly?

tRump on CNBC: claims inflation was still 5% when Biden left office & only dropped because “I won the election.”
Reality? It was already ~3%. tRump can’t even get the basic numbers right.
This is the guy in charge of the economy? Ignorant and delusional.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

The right gambled, tried to rig the election, lost, and now it’s excuses and tears.

Thanks for everything, Virginia. 🙏🏽

BREAKING: Virginia Republican Judge Strikes Down Election Results, FBI Investigates Reporter Who Looked Into Patel's Girlfriend, Trump Calls Results Rigged Good evening everyone.

Sam Altman is building portals to summon aliens. If aliens exist and are smart, they won’t come because Altman and his pals are all about the money. Ronan Farrow is reporting on it and he leaves no stone unturned. This should be interesting.

This is your president, the Shithead-in-Chief.

I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .

I think it may be a first, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Trump is the first President of the United States who is mentally ill.

Molly, aka the Thing of Evil, flies toward the forces of good.

Patton Oswalt is going to read the third book in the Talisman trilogy. OTHER WORLDS THAN THESE will be out in October. I'm totally stoked that he agreed to do it. Spoiler alert: There's a character in the book who's a stand-up comedian. His name is...Payton Orville.
Coincidence? I think not.

What are your thoughts on this?

tRump's illegal tariffs jacked up prices on everything — and you paid the bill at checkout.
Then the Supreme Court struck them down, so corporations are lining up for $166 BILLION in refunds from the government.

Consumers? Crickets. No refunds for the working families who actually footed the bill.
Classic MAGA: socialism for big business, rugged individualism for the rest of us.
This is corporate welfare on steroids while you eat the inflation. Disgusting.

Pete Hegseth says the U.S. military will no longer require flu shots Vaccination programs in the U.S. military date back to the American Revolution, but they became a contentious political issue during the coronavirus pandemic.

Pete Hegseth just ended mandatory flu shots for our troops — 'your body, your choice.'
Trump’s Pentagon putting ideology over readiness. Weakening the military during flu season for anti-vax politics. You can be sure this won't end well.

Could a judge soon force Trump to testify about Jan 6? Judge won’t let the president avoid a long-running lawsuit from police and Democratic members of Congress over violence at the Capitol

Trump's immunity claims just got crushed again. Judge Mehta ruled he must explain why he shouldn't testify in the Jan 6 lawsuit brought by Congress members & officers he incited. No shielding his "fight like hell" speech that fueled the Capitol attack.

another afternoon where it's impossible to post videos (or post at all?) on Bluesky. at some point you would hope this problem would be addressed

The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.

Trump extends Iran ceasefire, blockade amid uncertainty over peace negotiations The president said he will not launch new strikes on Iran at the request of Pakistani officials.

tRump flip-flops again: threatened to bomb Iran today, now extends the ceasefire "at Pakistan's request" while keeping the crippling blockade in place. His chaotic "art of the deal" has escalated tensions, disrupted global oil, and left peace talks in shambles.

Trump wants $1.5tn for the Pentagon – and cuts to healthcare and housing | Steven Greenhouse The president’s proposed $445bn increase in military spending would batter popular domestic programs as millions struggle

Trump's demanding $1.5 TRILLION for the Pentagon—a $445 billion spike—while gutting healthcare, housing & food aid for struggling families. He literally said we can't afford daycare or Medicaid because "we're fighting wars."
This is what "America First" really means.
