Trump’s 1.5% victory in 2024 was a mandate. Democrats’ 13.5% victory in 2026 is not.

PLEASE!!!!

This is what living next door to a 30 megawatt data center sounds like.

You’re not alarmed enough 🚨

The death of folk graphic design in favor of AI slop across our country's delis is leading to some incredibly Lovecraftian food horrors

This should be front page news. Banning mask mandates, not requiring vaccinations. Florida is just the beginning

Cyclospora, leprosy, flesh eating bacteria ... it's almost like when you disrupt the public health system, you start getting a bunch of disease outbreaks

Louisiana health officials said that five residents died this year after they were sickened with Vibrio vulnificus, a flesh-eating bacteria that thrives in warm seas and brackish water. Another four people in the state were hospitalized with the infection, health officials said.

Running out of body bags, using forklifts to transfer corpses into makeshift morgues, a mortician conducting 200 funerals in a month when he usually does 30, crematories running at double capacity… And these senators just want to memory-hole it all www.nytimes.com/2020/04/30/n...

If it’s a Republican president, it’s the liberal weather service. if it’s a Democrat, it would be god’s wrath.

AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM: All of the countries playing in the World Cup have universal healthcare EXCEPT for the US. We have other priorities, like pointless wars, golden ballrooms, terrorizing our people on the streets, concentration camps, and ruining reflecting pools by painting over marble.

Trump tells the WSJ it’s no big deal when Iran shoots down a US Apache. I’m sure US service personnel will feel all warm and fuzzy hearing this.

To my Pride folks. You are loved. There ain't no other you. You are so fierce you got these wockaflockas shook and whatnot. Go on with yo' bad selves.

The tech bros gave us crypto currency that isn’t currency, artificial intelligence that isn’t intelligence, and prediction markets that are inside-trader scams. On the other hand, they have given us gigantic data centers that employ no one and destroy communities. So there’s that.

Congress works 140 days a year and earns $174K annually, plus full benefits. How can anyone survive on that without a few stock trades and a little insider trading? They get 225 days off a year and think it’s okay to hold the federal minimum wage at $7.25 an hour for 17 years.

Statue of limitations has not expired on this tweet.

We did! We passed a bill to fund the Secret Service and TSA and FEMA 100-0. If Speaker Johnson would just call it for a vote, it would pass. That’s the problem.

what kind of question is that to even ask in a headline

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

"This is what you get when you elect Republicans." Every Dem within 100 feet of a camera needs to be saying this repeatedly. Every time we elect Republicans, we get dumbass wars, tax cuts for rich people, and financial crises. Every time. Fucking say it!

Doctors say that vaccines are the best way to protect children against measles. A guy who eats dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says they should just swim in untreated sewage water instead. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

The difference between a judicial warrant and an administrative warrant is the difference between a $20 bill and a napkin that a fascist wrote "twenty dollars" on.
