It is 2008. The president who couldn't win the popular vote the first time won it this time but now everyone hates him.
It is 2025. The president who couldn't win the popular vote the first time won it this time but now everyone hates him.

If you ever get your Florida governors mixed up, simply remember:
If he loots from Medicare,
It’s Rick Scott you’ve got there
When they rob Medicaid,
DeSantis gets paid

The job market has never been better for shills, stooges, and toadies of all stripes. Linkedin absolutely buzzing if you're a sycophant, a flunky, or even an unctuous little worm

Between this, Epstein and nominating Linda McMahon a functional political party could be like “huh lots of weird sex trafficking stuff going on with the Trump administration” but they could also have a sign about how much the average price of pancakes has gone-oh wait they’ve already made the sign

People need to understand this is a smash and grab. The billionaire oligarchs are looting the government right now. While most services and functions will be privatized and made worse, the real valuable heist is the data government has that Elon is stealing to feed his AI company.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

why does kelce look middle-aged?

turns out when transphobes said we need to “follow the science” what they meant is delete it and hide all traces of it

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

At minimum, Democrats should shut down the Senate until Scott Bessent and Elon Musk explain why they have every American’s tax returns.

Trump Administration Revokes Protections for Venezuelans in the U.S. The decision to revoke Temporary Protected Status signals that President Trump will continue to dismantle a program that aims to protect migrants from potentially dangerous countries.

🚨The Trump admin will kick 300,000+ Venezuelans off of TPS in 60 days, rendering them undocumented and forcing them to lose jobs and stability. Combined with tariffs, this will be another huge blow to the economy; nearly all are working legally now. And another 300,000 will lose status in September!

I want that Boer obliterated

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

Retaliatory tariffs are all right and good but if Canada, Mexico and the EU want to get this over with sanctioning the hell out of Trump’s oligarchs seems like a force multiplier.

woke 2 is coming and its going to make mao look like jon stewart

It wasn't DEI, it was DOGE.

Twenty Years Later, Guantánamo Is Everywhere - Boston Review The lawless—and ongoing—administration of the prison underwrites the broader democratic crisis we face today.

Twenty years later, Guantánamo is everywhere. The lawless and ongoing administration of the prison there has metastasized throughout U.S. legal and political culture and underwrites the broader democratic crisis we face today.

Baher Azmy, legal director at @ccrjustice.bsky.social:

Please stop using "pro-life" to talk about forced birthers. If you support the death penalty, support war, support expanding incarceration and mass deportation, support taking away health care, support ramping up fossil fuels and support cutting SNAP, you are in a death cult.

Familia puertorriqueña habría sido llevada a centro de detención en Milwaukee Hermana de una de las detenidas alega que los arrestaron por hablar español.

A three-year old, his mother, and his grandmother were speaking Spanish while shopping in Milwaukee. They’re U.S. citizens from Puerto Rico but were taken by ICE. Once in detention, the mother was able to produce ID and birth certificates proving citizenship:

Confirmed: Unions Squandered the Biden Years Welcome to single-digit union density.

This got buried in the news yesterday but union density falling into single digits is one of the most ominous milestones of the past 50 years, which have been defined by the inequality crisis. Imperative for this to be a big, big wake up call.

Debunking one is the nastiest and unfair myths. **Undocumented immigrants actually pay taxes.* The IRS is happy to take their contributions to the country, while ICE forces them to live in fear, in hiding, with no pathway to legal status.

biden staff giggling to themselves as they turn off lights around the white house. "it's going to be so funny when trump has to flip this switch back on his first day," they say.
