If you just want the bottom line before the talking heads spin it, here is the short version: In a 216–214 vote, the House of Representatives approved a $95 billion budget resolution that sneaks $10 billion in SAVE Act voter registration and proof-of-citizenship mandates
Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."
We don’t feel like it’s a good day unless we do a couple of Watergates before lunch.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."
You paid for a plane with "a level of luxury that nobody has never seen before". And he's apparently taking it with him once he leaves the White House. The plane. The ballroom. The corruption. This guy thinks taxpayers are dopes. Your money is just his to live a life of luxury.

This. Times a billion. No...times a trillion.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2mo agoAmerica's roughly 1,100 billionaires (and 1 trillionaire) are collectively worth a record $9.24 trillion. The wealth of the bottom half of the US, roughly 65 million households? $4.3 trillion. It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to allow this level of wealth concentration to continue.
Those children are dead because this man decided to go to war on a whim. He bears responsibility for their deaths.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoNYT: Can you now say whether you will hold anyone in your administration accountable for the strike on a school that killed more than 100 children? TRUMP: No. It's such a strange question to be asked. It's a long time ago. Mistakes are made. I would ask Pete Hegseth that question.
The 💩 has to be stored somewhere
Mediapolitic@mediapolitic.bsky.social · 2mo agoYou guys, the White House accidentally ordered 10x the amount of Porta-Potties that they needed. The lawn is just acres of Porta-Potties. It’s all fenced off and you can’t see, but I took this photo through a hole in the fence netting.
Hey remember when Trump said he didn’t know what Project 2025 was and the super serious mainstream media swallowed it? 😕🤷🏼
This is not the flex you think it is Donald Trump 🤣
Hahahahahahahaha Oh my! Is this an opening para or is this an opening paragraph? This alone should end any normal human cabinet secretary.
I think the problem for Republicans isn’t the people who truly view the Trump Christ post as blasphemy, it’s the much larger cohort who see it as insanity.
This is journalistic malpractice. This is NOT what the President posted.
Schooley@schooley.bsky.social · 4mo agoThe New York Times sparing readers from the obscenity of the President of the United States.
Khanna: "No. I'm not supporting new funding. The answer for every Democrat should be 'absolutely no.' It's $400 billion for a war we oppose? We could have universal childcare for that. We could have free public college for that."
Putin and Orban coordinating on a desperate false flag operation that everyone knew was coming.
This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.
*US TO ORDER 3,000 82ND AIRBORNE SOLDIERS TO MIDDLE EAST: WSJ
the country is at war and the president is peacing out for another weekend at his private club in Florida that he'll spend with his paying customers
Instead of going to war with Iran, we could cover health care for millions of Americans. And still have $20 billion left over.
![Senator Warren: How much would it cost to extend the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits for just one year?
Witness: About $30 billion.
Senator Warren: The Trump administration says this war [with Iran] will cost $50 billion. That means we could help all the people pushed off their health care and still have an additional $20 billion left over.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ornpixmpy5ts36lh7hmi7wkp/bafkreiblxixfig7iecpkjfi4twaehlvnnvx7e4iznbzwffjc6adxn2olf4)
I lost my job, my 401(k) is in the toilet, and I can’t afford healthcare, groceries, and now gas. But at least the president doesn’t have an annoying laugh, because he never laughs.
