I liked America better when we were forgiving of immigrants and cynical about rich people. I also liked it better when people liked the rebel alliance and hated the Empire.

Iran isn't denuclearized and in a press conference, Trump called the Max Miller situation "a family issue " Code for Republicans to circle the wagons.

So, tomorrow. We finally find out.about Mitch McConnell.

I just can't believe MAGAs and Trumplicans are ok with Trump giving himself and his family immunity from IRS audits forever. It is absolute insanity and the media had failed 100% by focusing on the slush fund and not the immunity deal. Where are the real reporters?

David Hearn's story could be anyone's. Anyone's, including Trumplicans.

The Trump admin should be concerned, but appealing to get the 1.776B slush fund and IRS immunity says they don't expect consequences.

Jimmy Kimmel nailed another one. Enjoy.

Destroying government programs and forcing people to the private sector is the entire Republican rationale. Has been since the thirties.

Hunh. So, mislabeled African map is not yet a trending topic, hunh?

The paragraph beginning "David Winkie of CNN" gave me hope because it show that if we speak up loud and long enough, we can change things for the better.

I guess Zelensky knew when to hold 'em.

I imagine historians read the White House report and thought "Maybe the British had the right idea burning down the White House in the 1800s." (Ok, to be fair, they'd know the exact year.)

"The Trump administration is claiming the powers of Congress both to tax and to declare war, key powers the Framers established the American people’s right, through their representatives, to control." Thus, No Kings, people. No Kings.

Frankly? I like America with independent agencies and bureaucrats with decades of experience and the agency having consistency. Y'know who else likes that? American businesses.creating a system where things change every 4-8 years is bad.

McGovern may have to be a speech I watch. That army pamphlet should be sent to all trad wives. McGovern's speech wasn't covered by lefty YouTubers. That's....weird

Idea: Grok Imagine makes a historically accurate version of the story of Jesus. Romans are the villains. The hero is a Jew from the Middle East with a beard. MAGA would be apoplectic.

Russia. China. North Korea. I'm tired of the Trumplicans using the nuclear missile excuse to justify war. When Pakistan got nukes, we did nothing. No bombs, no military, nothing. This war is a joke.

Random question...in the Evanescence video for Fight Like A Girl, WHY DOES THE DRUMMER END UP ON FIRE!? #musicsky #metalsky

This was a lot. I mean, damn. It would be nice to live in a shared reality where even Fox News presented both sides.

"The White House today said plans for a lavish state visit of Chinese leader Xi Jinping to Washington, D.C., in two months have not changed." Hunh. I guess those approximately 200 million voter rolls mean nothing to the Trump admin.

Trumporrhea really need to start trending. #Trumporrhea.

How the hell is this not a "Separation of Powers" issue? Shouldn't judges have the ability to appoint US attorneys? The President should not get to fire IS Attorneys for political purposes. Also proof that Rs should grow some balls and not confirm the President's defense attorney as AG.

Our media, led by billionaires who tolerate and/or love Trump and hate anyone trying to take their money and/or power away, has failed us again. Would've been nice if they did stories about how Biden's policies helped all Americans and not just the chosen few.

Much like Republicans of today ignore the white supremacists and racists of today support their party, they will claim to be the environmentalists of today based on past history.
