Hey MAGA friends- you know how they groom you to fear & despise the words "Muslim" "Socialist" and "Communist?" Guess who your Grand Venereal Wizard was adoring at the beginning and end of this week.

Liberal Democrat becoming more and more Progressive by the second. America did NOT understand the assignment
Remember "analogies" from college? Here's a new one: Trump TV is to News Media what Melania is to Documentary Film.

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.
If they deserve to be impeached — and so many of them do — then the House should impeach them. Maybe the Senate won‘t convict but it’s still worth the effort to remind people that laws still exist and that Democrats still defend it. Also, as noted here, make ‘em sweat.
impeach them all. fuck em. why should they get to fly around on our dime and hurt people? “they’ll never actually removed from office” who gives a shit? I want them miserable every day for the rest of the term. I hope they have nightmares. air their dirty laundry. make em sweat

Total collapse: 70% say his Iran war has hurt the US 75% say he has no plan for the war 76% say the war isn't worth the costs
Dude didn’t even get to the top of the first hill in Dunning Kruger Land.
Trump: "You call it United Kingdom, Britain, they call it sometimes England. They go back to the old. It's got more names than any other place in the world."
JD Vance is using AI to kick hundreds of thousands of people off health insurance. These are AI death panels.
This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY
ProPublica: In 2024, the FBI sought to launch a sweeping pay-to-play investigation examining interactions between Sen. Susan Collins and a top donor, records and emails show. After Trump returned to office, the investigation died.

After the FBI caught a defense contractor’s CEO making illegal campaign contributions, it sought to launch a sweeping political bribery probe involving Collins and others. Then the second Trump admini...

Actually, the Democratic mayor of NYC meeting with the Republican President of the United States is *not* remotely comparable to the Democratic House Minority Leader meeting with the unelected, unappointed, unofficial grifting son-in-law of the president.
I don't want to hear Ed Sheeran *sing*. What makes you think I want to hear him talk?
Hot take: Dave Matthews probably not joining @edsheeran’s tour
Sen. Mark Kelly on Nicolle today: "This is what happens when the country elects a reality TV star as President. He doesn't think he's governing a country. He thinks he's running a production. And when the production starts failing and the ratings go down, he throws the press out of the White House."
Obama: “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. You’re laughing, but this is what’s happening. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent right now would have tolerated behavior like that from me.” Clip courtesy @meidastouch.com
Remember when Jake Tapper dug in his heels to defend Fox News when Obama dared to move them to the second row of the press room? Well, now that the roles have reversed, I'm sure that Fox News will -- come on, stop laughing, let me finish
Man, I'm not sure you want to talk about who's preying on children in Texas

This is the Republican Party. Corrupt as hell, constantly starting wars, blowing up the deficit, giving tax cuts for billionaires, bailing out corporations, cutting health care, making everything more expensive, while serving up culture war drivel to distract you from all that.
When I first heard “I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees.” I thought it was a bad ass choice. Now I realize it’s not a “choice.” It’s a reaction. Something happens: you stand up, or you cower. Sheeran cowered. Macklemore stood up.
