New in PN: Are voters finally realizing that GOP presidents are disasters? "The last 3 R presidents have handed their D successors an economic catastrophe, & the last 3 Ds have had to do their best to clean it up. Why don’t Ds ever say that? I think it would make a difference" — @mjtoma.bsky.social
Are voters finally realizing GOP presidents are disasters?
Michael Tomasky makes the case that they are.

There was a time when most everyone recognized that wealth gained without justice carried a kind of moral stench and they were revolted by the people who flaunted it
I beg to differ. We hit the dumbest part when he was sworn in again as president
If you’re an adult and honestly think that gender reassignment surgeries and surgeries to reverse such gender reassignment surgeries are being performed in public schools then you are a very, very stupid pathetic primitive ape!

I watched my cat hide from another loud explosion today. She doesn’t understand geopolitics. She doesn’t understand russian propaganda. She just knows that something terrifying keeps happening outside. That part breaks me.
Mike Johnson really has them working hard for you, America.

A Japanese referee's last match got an unforgettable send-off: a player yanked off his shirt just to earn one final yellow card from him.
Fetterman can’t figure out why Dems who worked hard to drag his ass across the finish line in 2022 when he was medically incapable of doing anything feel betrayed when he trashes us on Fox/Newsmax every day because we don’t agree with him that Netanyahu should get a blank check.
This is an incredible loss for the Jazz and the NBA. - Sarah’s writing of real basketball was always great obviously, but she was also a go-to for the stupid stuff we fans love to know. Why is Keyonte wearing a sleeve? Is Will Hardy’s hair coiffed the opposite way? This whimsy is gone now. (1/2)

When did Executive Orders in the USA start being laws? We need to stop treating The DonOld Trumpstain Regime's Executive Orders as anything other than a bullshit opinion written on dirty toilet paper, without power to do ANYTHING outside of the personnel within the White House. 🤷🏻♀️🙄😡 #Pinks
The guys who were zero for nine on getting countries right on a map of Africa think they are owning Canada by erasing a name used by the Native Huron people *on both sides of the border.* This Administration isn’t even in the same ballpark as stupid.

Darline Graham said that because her own parents died when she was a kid, people today shouldn't expect "government health care." So I dug up the real story of the death of Darline/Lindsey's parents. It makes a strong case FOR government health care. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2148...
What Darline Graham’s Ugly, Viral Outburst About Death Really Reveals
The senator’s parents died when she was a kid. That’s tragic. But it’s also tragic that she’s against the kind of care that could help untold numbers of people avoid that fate today.

JD is a morally bankrupt opportunist. His political ideologies last about as long as a fart in the wind.
This is what happens when you elect a leader with a brain. America should try that.
Hate to be contrarian and cynical but the evidence that the next Democratic-led US government will do anything differently on Palestine than the previous one is thus far pretty thin sorry

Never forget folks, in the upcoming US mid terms 30% will vote for the felon ICE and fascism 30% minimum Thats how much of America are white nationalists
The capitalization on clean is really weird, especially since farming is a dirty job in the literal sense. It’s also thankless and severely underfunded work. Letting them process their own food without the resources & ability to do so isn’t going to help, it’s going to create more foodborne illness
