So Trump’s position is that elections under him were the most corrupt in the world, then Biden was elected (by the Communist Party of China) and four years later they all oversaw a fair election that he won

Maternal deaths in states with abortion bans have increased 9.2% since Amy Coney Barrett voted in favor of the Dobbs decision. And she is sitting on Capitol Hill today asking the grieving partners, families, and children of her victims to pay for her own personal security. How offensive.
What a selfish POS. Hasn't he done enough damage? Just proves he doesn't care about his so-called "movement" at all; it is and always has been about him and his mediocre white male ego.
Axios@axios.com · 4w agoSCOOP: Platner privately told staff he'll formally exit Senate race Monday
I feel like my daily "Is he dead yet?" musings are now both literal and figurative and apply to way too many people.
Dems could run some great ads if they handle this right: Democrats dump rapists. Susan Collins puts them on the Supreme Court.
Spectacular own goal. I wish all the "SO YOU WANT SUSAN COLLINS TO WIN" a very pleasant Susan Collins Winning
It’s kind of funny that Chris Hayes is on TV right now blathering about soccer and has not even mentioned, let alone apologized for, that softball interview in which he got completely rolled by Platner.
If democrats don’t hold sexual predators accountable, we honestly deserve to lose.
people got mad at me yesterday when i said the dems were not ready to take court reform seriously. 5-4 for non-racial citizenship is not a win, it's a reprieve bsky.app/profile/schu...
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.gov · last mo.Despite Trump’s best efforts to bully them, the Supreme Court just reaffirmed that if you are born in America, you belong in America.
The misogynistic smearing of a former First Lady at a White House event sanctioned by a President … is a stain that will not be removable
Just left a message for my senator, Elizabeth Warren, demanding that she withdraw her endorsement of Platner in light of today's revelations. I urge everyone in MA to do the same.
Can we please just get him out of this race so someone good can win? I can’t believe so many people are willing to throw away this seat for this guy. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/u...

It scares me to realize how much more trouble we would be in right now if Trump’s DOJ was even remotely competent.
And we are deporting innocent people there.
Forbes@forbes.com · 3mo agoThere are hundreds of suspected cases and dozens of people have already died.
It really says something when so-called journalists are less afraid of an active shooter than they are of the president.
Just reposting my own post for no particular reason.
Leslie Talbot@leslietalbot.bsky.social · 5mo agoHey Hegseth, those rules of engagement you call “stupid” are in place to protect AMERICAN SERVICE MEMBERS.
This is the absolute correct framing of this entire debacle.
Peter Beaumont@petersbeaumont1.bsky.social · 5mo agoThis is a performative war of macho posturing by third rate figures who mistake the audience of social media and right wing cable TV for the gravitas (?) of diplomacy and foreign policy. It would be comic if it was not so painfully tragic.

Question: What’s the difference between these two executions? Answer: Nine additional bullets. 🤬
I can’t stop thinking about Alex Pretti’s parents. Finding out about their son’s death from a reporter who called them for comment. Scrutinizing the murder video to see if they recognized him. Having to identify his body. Hearing him defamed by the government. How will they ever survive this?
Been seeing a lot of posts calling 1/6/21 the most shameful day in American history. They're wrong. The most shameful day in American history was 11/5/24, when 77 million voters looked at the evidence, shrugged, and re-elected Donald Trump. And another 70 million+ couldn't be bothered to stop them.

Why does it always seem like our most beloved celebrities die at the end of any given year?
“Do it the right way,” they said. And yet here we are. I hate these people.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 8mo agoThis really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.
