“Billy, have you ever hidden yourself in a Turkish food cart?”
The president is refusing to spend taxpayer money assisting Americans suffering from natural disasters solely because their states didn't vote for him. I know there are a thousand scandals at the moment, but this one deserves some more oxygen at every level.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 2w agoIs this just business as usual in politics? No. Approval rates of federal disaster aid requests were about the same regardless of the state and did not vary much with the party of the President. This graph powerfully conveys the scale of the partisan discrimination now.
The White House normally gets $2.5 million a year for maintenance. Trump’s team has allocated $875 million. That’s 350 years’ worth of the usual budget spent by a single administration.
There’s this really weird thing happening on the right where they’re pretending like Karoline Leavitt was actually a good Press Secretary. They’re all saying the same thing, so I’m assuming they don’t know what a Press Secretary is supposed to do… or they were given a script.
During WWII, Mária Telkes invented a solar device that turned seawater into drinking water for stranded airmen and sailors. Then she helped build a house heated entirely by the sun. She was harnessing solar power in the 1940s. They called her “Sun Queen” for a reason. #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance
If you wanted to fly Donald Trump out on a different plane without advanced warning to protect him, that would be one thing. But to put others on what you believed to be a targeted plane served only one purpose: To propagate and maintain a lie to assuage a single man’s ego.
I’ve heard a lot about airlines colluding with ICE and TSA to inform on migrants. Sickening betrayal. If anyone wonders how Germany got to where it did, it’s because of these kinds of collaborators.

This is in the heart of suburban northern Virginia.
Aaron Fritschner@fritschner.bsky.social · last wk.Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.
We are weeks away from Trump using a look-a-like at events like Putin.
So Trump used a bunch of journalists and even some of his own staff as human decoys to possibly get murdered in mid-air so he could live on and make more money
Aaron Schaffer@aaronschaffer.com · last wk.!!!
So, I completely understand secreting POTUS away from a credible assassination attempt. But leaving the entire Air Force One crew, press pool, etc. to play decoy is some sick shit.

@ronnychieng.bsky.social explains climate change for all the visual learners #TDS30
With the economy in shambles, nobody was talking about Covid until Republicans brought out Dr. Fauci and tried to villainize this man right before midterms. Now we’re all reminded of Trump’s incompetence and why we voted him out in 2020. Nice work, Republicans.
After Jan 6, Rogers stood up for the country and said all the right things, telling Trump, “You’re damn right you had responsibility for this.” Now he's all in on accusing Michigan of voter fraud to please the criminal president.
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · last wk.This story, as much as any you'll read, encapsulates how deeply Trump has poisoned the well of his own party. Even Mike Rogers -- as establishment a politician as you'd find anywhere -- has plunged himself into the sewer of election conspiracy theories. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/09/u...

I often get annoyed with people who use the term Fan Fiction as a synonym for bad writing, or to denigrate some film or story as fan fiction. Most have never read or understood the genre & how it serves the underserved. Love this analysis. #writingcommunity www.tumblr.com/klcthebookwo...
