"As a Christian conservative, it's very important to me that we starve Americans and withhold medicine to maximize the profits of our feudal kings so they can do child rapes on private islands and commit horrific genocides"

This is how they sound to me

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

The President of the United States of America does not care if the citizens of the United States of America starve to death.

I was part of the internal Trump administration team trying to convince the president to end the shutdown in 2018 - 2019 β€” for 35 days β€” before people went hungry, workers lost pay, and government services collapsed.

Here’s what I learned: he doesn’t give a shit.

It's astounding to me that the US government/presidency used to function, apparently, solely on an honour system, and that someone could come in and basically do whatever they want without a single repercussion because there never were any real guardrails due to it being an honour system.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

New video this week is a wild one! Clown Core's intense song "Computers". The original music video has the audio drop out in a couple of places, so the only real editing I did was mute the original video audio and placed the studio audio over it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nDm...

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop β€œleft-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag β€” meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

I suspect a party platform of 1) turning back every Trump action and policy, 2) arresting every employee of ICE for involvement in or abetting of crimes against humanity, would do very well.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.
