STOP. GIVEAWAYS. TO THE RICH. When Nick Langworthy said the Big Ugly Bill will help us “grow our way out” of inflation, it made me angry. 70% of the benefits go to the top 25% of earners. The bottom 40% have actually seen their taxes RISE. itep.org/2025-trump-t...

“You might wanna sit down for this one.” Ex DOJ pardon attorney @lawyeroyer.com says the DOJ lawyer defending Trump’s media ban is a Hitler admirer.

Here’s a NYT image of the President of the United States fleeing Turkey *inside an airport catering cart* as he leaves members of his own staff and the entire White House traveling press pool to die in a warned-of Iranian military attack over Turkey Impeach this m*therfucker now

So Trump and the White House lied about which plane Trump was on flying out of Turkey, setting up journalists who thought they were on the same plane as the president to possibly be the target of an Iranian attack while he secretly departed on a different one. Words fail.

Contradicting public statements, Trump took secret flight from Turkey amid Iranian threat

The White House said the president was aboard Air Force One as he left a NATO summit. Instead, his departure included an elaborate ruse that concealed his travel.

Breaking news: U.S. Park Police officers arrested former Olympian David Hearn on a misdemeanor charge of destruction of government property. Hearn said he touched the Reflecting Pool’s detached liner but “didn’t destroy or break or peel anything.”

David Hearn said he touched the Reflecting Pool’s detached liner but “didn’t destroy or break or peel anything.” Trump accused vandals of sabotaging the refurbishment.

Not only are you not alone if you believe things don't have to be this way. In fact you are part of a powerful American majority, one with the power to decide our future.

Did DoD just admit in a court filing that it used xAI's Grok Gov Model to hit the girls' school on the first day of the Iran war? Based on some passages flagged by @rgoodlaw.bsky.social in DoD's recent filing in NAACP's case against X, it looks like it did 1/

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to show up in full combat gear on a hot summer day to the pool he filled with algae because he gave a paint job to one of his cigar puffing cronies. you are ordered to stop tourists from touching the green water. good luck soldier

Michelle and I had fun surprising the first group of visitors to the Obama Presidential Center on Juneteenth. Come check it out!

The forces of fascists are arresting people who embarrass Dear Leader by “vandalizing” a few inches of the Reflecting Pool. Meanwhile, Trump vandalized the *entire* thing without any consequence.

We have all been wondering what reporter was finally going to say I've had enough and confront his lies head on face to face. I had thought maybe Collins might be the one but I'm glad that when it happened it was a woman because even after he called her stupid she didn't let up. #USDemocracy

Absolutely insane story from @suryamattu.com. Bloomberg found a little-known tax loophole exploited by the rich is costing the Treasury $48 billion a year…roughly enough to fund NASA twice over.

It's never not bonkers that human life expectancy was ~34 in 1870 and then* someone was like "maybe water should be clean" and someone else was like "let's…wash our hands?" and someone else was like "vaccines tho!" and someone else was like "uh, mold kills bacteria?" and now we mostly live past 70.

Trump: "Elon had a bad moment but now he's a friend of mine again. He had a very bad moment."

Trump is at a roundtable in Wisconsin bragging to farmers — at length — about the Reflecting Pool renovations.

There were multiple votes last night to make the $1.8 billion cop beater fund illegal and Republicans blocked every single one, paving the way for Trump to resuscitate his slush fund.

many people who would have lived longer will die because of this. he’s one of the most destructive people on the planet.
