in my capacity as a YLS alumnus I agree we have to throw in the towel on this

It's also sad and pathetic.

Is someone in the administration tracking our international supply of sex traffickers?

Trump brought both Tate brothers here but let this one go back, so we’re probably running a surplus?

Not only did federal goons show up to try and intimidate our governor, they did so on hallowed ground. Gov. Newsom was speaking at the Democracy Center at the Japanese American National Museum, which I helped found so we do not repeat the horrors and injustices of the past. Shameful.

Complete b.s.

When you lose Nick Fuentes

Nick Fuentes to Trump: "Fúck you. You suck. You're fat, you're a joke, you're stupid, you're not funny... This entire thing has been a scam. We're gonna look back at MAGA movement as the biggest scam in history. The liberals were right we will see Trump as a scam artist."

holy shit lmao

Among the waste uncovered by ProPublica and @cbsnews.com: Texas reimbursed anti-abortion groups $14 each time they handed out donated goods or materials, regardless of cost.

Thus, handing out one pamphlet reaped the same payment as a pack of diapers.

ICE handcuffs 71-year-old grandmother, a U.S. citizen, at San Diego immigration court An ICE agent accused the woman of pushing her. After she spent hours in custody, she denied that to NBC Diego on Wednesday.

These people are out of control.

BREAKING: A Trump DOJ investigation has found that this photo does not exist, and if you saw it, no you didn’t

I know that Medicare/ Medicaid is Democrats’ native language & what they’re happiest speaking but I’d love for SOME prominent person to try the line “they increased the debt limit by $5 trillion in order to triple size of ICE & make its detention center bigger than the whole federal prison system.”

CARTER: The Adolescent Trial Network for HIV intervention received a stop work order that shut down research at 14 sites where 7 studies were being conducted. Were you aware of that?

RFK JR: As far as I know, we haven't cut any clinica--


CARTER: I'm telling you by your own records you are

is there any other country on the planet whose chief executive’s social media is a 24/7 firehose of petty grievances? spoiler alert: the answer is no, because it’s just fucking insane. I cannot stress this enough: Mad King Donny should not be conducting foreign policy via a series of colicky rage-posts. it accomplishes nothing, and it’s just embarrassing. the world is laughing at us. can someone please take away Dear Leader’s phone? but let’s look at what Donny’s saying: ‘if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD.’ excuse me, but what ‘REALLY BAD things’ has Donny personally kept from happening to Russia? who the fuck does Donny imagine he’s working for? last time I looked, Donny’s title was President of the United States, not Protectorate of Russia. I’m so old, I remember when American presidents looked out for the interests of their own country — not those of our adversaries. Donny’s having the saddest of saddy-sad sads right now because — after twelve years spent sucking up to Putin in a pathetic effort to be his bestie — it’s finally dawning on this dilapidated old dotard that Vlad is never going to be his friend. Putin’s been playing Donny like a fiddle since day one.

from today's post, about Mad King Donny's impotent rage-posting at his ex-bestie Vlad Putin.
please read the whole thing, thanks!

(and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

Headline from the independent: Trump gives rambling speech about trophy wives, golf and the 'great late' Al Capone in politically-charged West Point address

Headline from the New York Times: Trump Gives Commencement Address at West Point, Stressing a New Era

Hard to believe they’re talking about the same event.

I can see this is going to be a day where the task of sifting through piles and piles of garbage to find actual news that matters to normal people is going to be extremely difficult.

You know you’re winning when you post “We are NOT the Gestapo!”

Not only will the GOP Congress do nothing to stop Trump’s creation of a dictatorship, they’ll destroy any courts that dare do their duty against him.

What fresh hell is this?

Trump supporter Rick Fuze was arrested in Berkeley for using a stun gun on peaceful protesters outside a Tesla dealership. Fuze claimed they were paid protesters and he went there to show his support for Musk and DOGE.

The cowardice of the GOP has been astounding 👇

I'm here for this!!

Who, What, Where, When, and Why.

No better quote from Merrick Garland summarizes why he was the wrong man for the job than this from his farewell speech.

From start to finish, he brought norms to a Trump fight and democracy suffered.
