The concept of “lying under oath” is up for grabs right now. All the Trump SCOTUS judges did it about Roe. Kennedy did it to get his post. If one of these fuckers isn’t prosecuted it will be crystal clear that there are zero repercussions for doing so, and everyone will lie forever.

Exclusive: White House uses USAID funds for budget director Vought's security, documents show The White House budget office is using millions of dollars from the former U.S. foreign aid agency to pay for the security detail of Russell Vought, President Donald Trump's budget chief and an archit...

There are ~90 million people alive today because of USAID. Russ Vought illegally shut it down and now is spending the money on himself. These are deeply evil people. www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old

AOC and Warren join forces in high-profile child care push ahead of midterms As Republicans urge Americans to have more children but offer few supportive policies, Democrats believe reducing child care costs could be a winning message.

When only the wealthy can afford peace of mind for their children, we've turned childhood into a privilege, not a promise.

I am proud to lead the Child Care for Every Community Act with @warren.senate.gov to cap childcare costs and fight for universal childcare.

Not only is this what you would do if you were trying to kill a technology and a company developing it ….

it's what you would do if you were trying to kill *people*.

I am reminded of the near-constant incandescent howls of rage from conservatives when Michelle Obama helmed efforts to get healthier food in schools.

I’m sorry are you telling me that I’m not supposed to shout “pew pew pew” and fire the laser the military gave me at any chance I get? What is this, the fun police?

The administration was hoping for the theater of its paramilitaries squaring off against black bloc street fighters.

And instead it got this.

Hard to label the lady in a bathrobe as a “terrorist.”

Imagine a President bulldozing 1/3 of our Historic White House pocketing $300 million and that doesn’t even crack the top 100 most destructive, vile, disgusting things he’s done, yet here we are

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Of course, we are flying to Denver for this, because my kids are working at camp for the Fenway dates, which, as a Mainer choosing Denver over Fenway for Noah Kahan feels like choosing to go out to eat at a Red Lobster. (but we'll get to visit my sister, so win win)

Wow, all of them illegals must have been pretty productive workers while also being the most violent felonious gang members in the country. Because those are the only ones they are deporting, right?

I thought the “illegals” were stealing jobs, so if they left, wouldn’t those have been filled by ‘mericans? Curious spin on this.

Oh so it’s gonna be real bad

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Opinion | Universities are sending Trump a dangerous message Higher education is under attack. Drop the appeasement.

"Appeasement is being coordinated while resistance is not" is exactly right. (This op-ed from Arne Duncan and David Pressman is excellent; I hope university leaders will read it.) www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I make buttons and am always wondering if its dumb to do so? I mean I also make the calls and donate to mutual aid and protest and teach OTHER people how to make the calls, but anyway they are on my porch if you want one.

Re: the backlash to "craftivism."

Stickering is cool and punk and floods the environment with our messaging.

The hats are not "performative"-- they're doing the same thing! But graffiti is seen as more male, knitting more female, and there you go.

Stupid gender ruining the party for all of us.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English”

my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

No one has ever tried to sell me drugs as hard as people try to sell me on AI.

If you don't care about football, Superbowl Sunday is a great night to go out to dinner, no lines, no waiting. (Esp in Maine when the Pats are in it.)

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Wait... WUT?!?

This government is OURS.

It is funded by US.

That is OUR White House.

WE pay for EVERYTHING.

ALL OF IT.

WE THE PEOPLE are the rightful owners of this nation.

Don’t EVER forget it.

FIGHT LIKE HELL FOR IT.

NEVER give up.

Racist president being racist
