because they fucking suck, too.

I suppose you would probably believe that if you had made billions of dollars in the past 18 months

Trump: "Then they say, 'On the economy, Trump is at 42%.' I shouldn't be at 42%. We have the greatest economy maybe in the history of the world."

Fascinating interview with @muellershewrote.com on the @nicolesandler.bsky.social show about her FOIA request to get the drawings ICE seized from kids at the Dilley concentration Camp in Texas. More at the link: youtu.be/fjBO1GSyvs4 or watch later at nicolesandler.com

Poor Jeanine Pirro. It’s always sad when a vicious liar loses their job because they unscrupulously tried to ruin the life of an innocent American hero to appease the most repellent man in America. Drink up, sweetie.

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

The Verge@theverge.com · 2d ago

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

The president is a rapist and a pedophile who ran teen beauty pageants and was best friends with Epstein and he’s fine with men beating their wives and he lost a war and raised all your prices and stole billions of dollars but 34% of Americans still think he’s peachy keen because they’re racist.

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"

Also the Republicans were screaming that Fauci helped authorize vaccines for children, which is something every goddamn parent I know was praying for every day for more than a year and have been thankful for ever since. These people are all self-centered idiotic sociopaths, nothing more.

if you hated covid "lockdowns" try long covid

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.

Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 6d ago

People still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.

The lazy sociopath who golfs instead of working (on, say, a plan to win a war with Iran) wants terminally ill patients to work for benefits they’re entitled to.

X views are a total mirage. Whatever Musk reports is certainly a lie. They won't let anyone study the platform for a reason: It's entirely fake; it's a billion Russian bots pretending to be your girlfriend.

The audience for pro-Trump content has fallen from its heights and, for some creators, has reached new lows, a New York Times analysis suggests. Views are dropping for many of President Trump’s greatest allies. nyti.ms/3TLV4TV

Surprise surprise: Taylor Fresh Foods has filed a federal lawsuit accusing the former president of its Tennessee subsidiary, his wife and two others of orchestrating a yearslong fraud scheme that allegedly stole more than $32 million from the company.

Booker: They are thinking about setting themselves up to build epic empires of wealth. And that’s why Trump is pardoning people who then go into business with him. That’s why Trump is trying to undermine the rule of law—to make sure he leaves office with more wealth than was ever conceivable…

I bet Jeanine Pirro was eager to drop the case before the judge asked to see grand jury transcripts, which would probably contain evidence to disbar her.

"I don't know why somebody as sociopathic as Elon Musk needs to deny that he had a role in killing hundreds of thousands of people, but he does. And maybe he thinks people will sue him for wrongful death, which would be a good idea." @emptywheel.bsky.social Listen live 3-415ET youtu.be/fs5ZElAC-kQ

NEW: DOJ has submitted unredacted Epstein Files for review in chambers by Judge Sullivan in the @katiephang.bsky.social case. DOJ contends it redacted victims' names, but check out their definition of "victim." 1/

Congrats to @katiephang.bsky.social for putting the pressure on Todd Blanche with her lawsuit, suing him for failing to abide by the Epstein Transparency Act. We need non-stop offense. You keep it in the news. You demand accountability. He will prolly still get the vote but GOP has to defend it.

300,000 Haitians legally living in the U.S. have officially lost their Temporary Protected Status this week. ICE is reportedly planning to target Haitian communities and fast-track deportations to Haiti, which is controlled by violent gangs and deep in crisis. Trump’s cruelty knows no bounds.

You can't make this up: the Trump administration is arguing in court that even a cancer diagnosis isn't enough to claim an exemption from his draconian new Medicaid work requirements. Sickening — and all to fund even more tax cuts for the ultra-rich.

MAGA republicans: Let’s spread lies about covid and kill as many people as possible. MAGA republicans: Let’s destroy the US Health system by firing experts and installing a deranged piece of shit like RFK Jr who collect animal dicks. MAGA republicans: Let’s attack Dr. Fauci.

It’s a Fair Question….. “Why is it that it takes 900 years and 5000 impact studies to build high speed rail but a 5 minute city council meeting is all it takes to approve a massive data center?”

This is deplorable, and there’s no reason for it. Except racism.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · last wk.

Upwards of 200,00 people may have lost their jobs today; or will in the upcoming days. There is a palpable sense of fear among the Haitian community right now. They need your support.

A funeral procession through the streets of Los Angeles brought together more than 50 organizations to collectively mourn the lives lost at the hands of ICE. Over 70 coffins moved through the city, each one representing a life, a family, and a future taken too soon. #JusticeForAll #ABOLISHICE
