Been telling Bluesky this for weeks. I kept my eye on the progress of the work as it was happening, as it's my career of 35 years. Here is exactly what is meant by "bad paint job": it wasn't dried properly and the stone was not abraded to create a chemical bond. Shoddy workmanship, nothing else.
Jim Acosta: "The pool has been drained, and there are no signs of the giant gash that Donald Trump has been lying about. No indications of major vandalism. Just a bad paint job. The only thing that’s been exposed is that Trump has been lying about this." #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
Balint on Hegseth's obsession with testosterone and his attacks on women in combat: "I think it is indicative of the fact that there are so many people in this administration that have some weird, intense, homoerotic, feelings towards men while also being incredibly homophobic..."
For MAGA it’s just us and them. Poor Mario didn’t realize he was a “them.“
Blaming others and creating additional problems is what they do. Republicans are a problem
Guess who was posting insanity from midnight to 2:30 am last night on TruthOptional?
Reminder: Todd Blanche is the one who met with Ghislaine Maxwell before she was transferred to a low security prison. He is deeply involved in the #Epstein cover-up and should not have ANY position in government, and certainly not Attorney General.
America is governed by the most useless kids in your class in high school.
🚨 HEGSETH WANTS TO CHECK AMERICA’S BALLS. Pete Hegseth wants testosterone screenings for active-duty service members, with follow-ups and possible consequences for “low T.” Apparently military readiness now depends less on training and whether your bloodwork impresses a former Fox News host.
E. Jean Carroll spent nearly a decade in court fighting one of the most powerful men in the world. She fought with tenacity and grace — and she won. She is one of my personal heroes. We all owe her a debt of gratitude.
Imagine wanting the baby you’ve carried inside you for 9 months and having it taken away. Imagine not wanting the baby you’ve carried inside you for 9 months and being forced to remain pregnant and give birth. When we reach scenario #1, it will be the scenario #2 enforcers demanding it.

I try not to have hate in my heart but this regime makes it tough. Going after benefits for disabled adults being cared for by families in their homes is not ok. It will add a significant burden to those who are caring for their loved ones. This does not impact me personally - I just have empathy.
590K people paid $100 deposits for a “Made in USA” Trump phone. No phone. No refunds. Fine print says the deposit “doesn’t constitute a purchase.” The crypto, sneakers & gold card. Now the phone. 📞 It’s one endless grift machine. #USDemocracy #Pinks atlantablackstar.com/2026/05/10/m...

They want us quiet; we’re getting loud. This #CupOfJoe is packed with the exact moves YOU need to make to defend our right to vote. The line is drawn—are you locked in? (Ignore the messy captions, the message is what matters. Hit play.)
@captmarkkelly.bsky.social is my senator and an American hero. Trump & Hegseth are trying to strip him of rank/pay for saying that active military should not obey illegal orders. It makes no sense that there is even a case here because soldiers are REQUIRED to NOT follow illegal orders. #ProudBlue
www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... Number of people receiving food stamps in Arizona has fallen by around 50% as of March compared to a year earlier, including about 200,000 children who have lost their benefits. Those numbers are showing up in the lines at Arizona food banks.

Over at “One First,” I wrote about how the redistricting chaos we’re seeing in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Virginia is something #SCOTUS *chose,* and how it belies both the entire purpose of the “Purcell principle” and the Court’s claim that it’s staying out of the political process:
227. "We're All Trying to Find the Guy Who Did This"
The Supreme Court has not only accelerated the race to the partisan redistricting bottom; it is directly responsible for the chaos we're seeing on the ground.
