Parton My Tears Only Dolly could unite America's 9-to-5 crew with its elites. Now she's gone, while Donald gives the Reflecting Pool a coat of many colors and tells Kim Jong Un "I will always love you." Maybe Melania will do a reverse Jolene and beg Natalie: Please DO take my man! by Maureen Dowd

nitter.net is down. xcancel.com may go soon, too. all the respect to the folks at nitter for their services so far, but to be honest, X completely locking itself out of the web is probably a net positive for us all in the long term

Mark Carney: "It's not a surprise that the US would take some form of reprisal to our response to their unjustified tariffs, which was on top of other unjustified tariffs. But what message does that send to the workers in Michigan and Ohio and Kentucky and Alabama who rely on Canadian demand?"

Note to heads of state, CEOs, university presidents and other cowards: It's actually possible to stand up to Trump. ♦️Just find your inner Canadian.🇨🇦

Ontario Premier Doug Ford on Trump: "I have a real estate on my ass, so he has a lot of room to kiss my ass"

The man stands like a centaur getting a prostate exam.

I do not want Democrats to figure out how they can work together to help Donald Trump enact his agenda. I want Democrats to win power and then act as a wrench in the gears of government for the rest of Trump's term. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

"Trump loves corrupt sycophants and bounders because he is a corrupt sycophant and bounder. And, just maybe, the nation has had enough of rule by grotesquely evil fools who hate us."

New in PN: The old kingmaker magic is gone "Trump simply wades into any and every contest with flatulent assurance, endorsing anyone who most shamelessly flatters him. And so he repeatedly finds himself blessing scoundrels, abusers, and liars — his own people, in other words."

Oh, FFS. He can't stand that the Iranians have eaten his lunch so he's picking on someone else to make himself feel better. Pathetic.

Sean Duffy on today's Indycar race in downtown DC: "I think this is better ... they can sell beer. This is the first time they're going to sell beer on the mall of the capital"

Fun fact: So convinced were white officials in 1963 that the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on the national mall would bring lawless and violent hordes of Black people that they imposed an emergency ban on alcohol sales in all of DC and neighboring Montgomery and PG counties.

Holy shit. No wonder Carney told the US to pound sand.

Already signaling “we need to put it all behind us and come together” . People are not ok with this. No. Just no.

Tell me what is JK's role in the current admin that Jeffries would meet with him

It would be difficult for me to find enough words to describe how enraging this is. It is a complete betrayal. An abdication of core values. He embraces Kushner with greater ease than he endorsed Mamdani. I just can’t.

If you can find common ground with Jared kusher, but not zohran mamdani, you shouldn't be in democratic leadership

Saeed Jones@theferocity.bsky.social · 4d ago

“Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, met privately in recent weeks with Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and top outside adviser, and discussed potential areas of common ground, according to five people with knowledge of the meeting.” BRUH.

"During the recent meeting, the pair discussed housing, immigration and the high cost of living as potential areas of common ground." with every illegal thing the trump admin is doing/has done, Jeffries is PRIVATELY doing "common ground" governing with *checks notes* trump’s son-in-law

God, grant me the serenity to accept one million dollars, the courage to have one million dollars, and the wisdom to know I have one million dollars.

if you are frightened of a woman in a hijab that's YOUR problem! if a group of Black people laughing loudly on the train scares you that's YOUR problem! I'm not on your side bitch! count me out of whatever racist math you're doing in your head right now

i'm not going to be racist with you and i'm not going to attack trans women with you and I'm not joining in whatever cruel little joke you're making. you are wasting everyone's time when you could be putting rocks in your pockets and walking into a lake

god nothing makes my soul feel sicker and fills me with righteous anger faster than another white cis woman looking at me, assuming I share their bigotries and will land on their side in a fight. i don't even know where to start in expressing the number of ways that you got the wrong one

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

At any point in the last decade a journalist could have followed up with a "what the fuck do you mean by that" And they don't, not a single "what the fuck are you talking about" followup in over a goddamn decade of this.

Reporter on Bond Market: The yields have come back up since then. Have you talked to Bessent about another type of intervention.? Trump: The ultimate intervention is our military. And if we have to use that, we will.
