Remember when we learned our POTUS withholds EMERGENCY AID to states that "didn't vote for him" and everyone was like oh well, that's just what happens now I guess?

While you were over here trying to figure out how you were going to cover the rent and food—this guy was over there using $5.1 million in taxpayer money YOU paid into the system to cover these statues in 23 karat gold. Yeah, he did that.
Weird he can’t bring this kind of energy towards his colleague who is accused of beating up his daughter.

The national media likes Trump & wants to help keep him in power
Michelle@michelleroy78.bsky.social · 3w agoThe payment is an admission of guilt. This should be the biggest news on every platform.
MLB is like the Democratic Party in that they’re deeply concerned about popularity and all their actions seem to be aimed at capturing some mythical person who has never become a baseball fan and will probably never become a baseball fan meanwhile baseball fans are yelling PLEASE JUST PLAY BASEBALL
If Democrats didn't want to get moved out of the way, they shouldn't have for so many years made themselves the obstacle to the fights we needed to have. They could have fought, they could have moved; now we move them. They thought you were the party leaders, but the people must lead.
@craigcalcaterra.bsky.social Wait, the cliche villain looking guy whose company worked on the reflecting pool has a connection to Jim Traficant?!? This all has to be a fake story.
Instead, most Democratic politicians (including the one here) will say it's too radical and we need to be more moderate.
Amy Klobuchar@amyklobuchar.com · 2mo agoWith $300 billion, we could end homelessness, fund cancer research for 40 years, and give every child free pre-K for over 7 years. Instead, Trump is sending it to Iran. This is not America First. Not even close.

if you just went by media coverage you would think that trangender kids playing sports are a much more immediate threat to the public well-being than a billionaire becoming a trillionaire by pumping $2 trillion worth of fraud into every single 401k
The NYT sees itself not as a defender of journalistic principles or a champion of democratic values, but rather a theater critic for political actors. There are no real-world consequences here, no pain or suffering for the common people who aren't in their social circles. It's just a parlor game
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe NY Times apparently thinks fairness in journalism means having no values at all. Trump assaults one of the key factors in America's rise to global leadership — immigration — and the best the Times can do is call it a “risky pivot.”
Funny (not funny but you know) that a substantial number of people in this country can't accurately assess what's going on because they can't bring themselves to believe that someone could be this stupid, let alone the president
this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Look if you've got a better way to run a country than "putting an illiterate octogenarian bigot on TV every few days to free associate and complain, and then everyone tries to figure out if it means we're about to start a war or not" I'd love to hear it. But the constitution says this is it.
“Applications from the United States to Sciences Po’s bachelor’s program surged 52% this academic year, while the number of Sciences Po students applying to study for a year in the United States has plunged by 50%. For the first time ever, America is not the first choice for its undergraduates”

The US is a heavily-armed society going through an almost-unprecedented crisis of legitimacy. It doesn't need conspiracies for there to be a bunch of assassination attempts on a historically-unpopular president.

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)
Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?
