El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

They recently suffered a historically terrible earthquake. Also we're sucking hundreds of billions of dollars out of their economy.

Am I crazy or was this not really that informative? Like, a Times reporter wrote this?

MacFarlane: We are near the new gold-plated statues the Trump administration unveiled near Memorial Circle, Memorial Bridge, and the Lincoln Memorial. It’s really, really gold.…

There's some guy who has at least twice successfully sued police departments for violating his constitutional rights after they harassed him when he flipped them the bird.

🔥 Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."

Whitehouse on Blanche: "Today is a sad and embarrassing day"

We can’t lose sight of this. Millions of families are going hungry in this country because Donald Trump wanted to give a tax break to billionaires. It’s a moral abomination.

Another day where the president & other national Republicans get to sh*t on cities/urban voters & we have <exactly none> of the National Conversations™️ about Civility, Tone, Respect for/Reaching out to Real Folkz, or the GOP’s problem of not offering enough Moderate Solutions on Kitchen Table Issues

Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

Senators who have nothing to lose by sticking to their principles : we are abandoning our principles

John Cornyn & Thom Tillis issue a joint statement announcing they will support Todd Blanche for AG. He's now in good position to clear the Judiciary Committee tomorrow and head to the full Senate.

“I came without a speech, because I’m hungry. “I’m hungry for justice, hungry for authentic charity, hungry for a Church that truly knows how to open the doors, welcome, receive everyone, where there is love for all and where no one is an enemy.” — Pope Leo XIV at lunch with 200 refugees

RFK Jr: Trump wanted to end lockdowns. In Fauci's diary, he talks about how the president was calling him trying to get him to reopen the country BASH: The lockdowns were down by governors K: They cited Fauci B: Govs were hearing from hospitals that their ICUs were overrun K: That's not true

Me, watching Paw Patrol with my daughter:

That's right, racist. The inbred "heritage Americans" of the traitorous Confederacy got their asses kicked by a motley assortment of immigrants in the U.S. Army.

Another datapoint for the fascist radicalisation of institutional pillars of much of the American Right

BASH: But it peeled off. Why did that happen? BURGUM: It didn't peel off. There was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been 7 arrests. BASH: There are photographs of people cutting a 350 foot gash in the reflecting pool? BURGUM: Dana, I'm not sure why you keep questioning it

It is fuckin' insane that there are 30 minutes of previews for live action Moana. Show time was 5:40, and at 6:06 they're still going strong. Wtf??

I had no idea what she sounded like until she put out all these videos about what she sounds like.

She knows she’s losing so she said let’s just go mask off.

I truly, deeply hate some specific people in this world, and I don't even post like 1% about it as much as people who dislike Will Stancil post about him on Bluesky. Truly, get a life. People posting insane things like he wants people to starve or he should have his throat cut. Just looney tunes!

Kiss my ass with this shit.

“Tariffs were pitched as the fix for America’s trade deficit. Instead… Last 18 Months: –$1.80 trillion deficit in Goods. 18 Months Prior: –$1.74 trillion deficit in Goods. The deficit didn’t shrink. It increased 4%.” - Bilello

If there's a way to make people's lives worse and more expensive Trump's gonna do it every time
