This is a great sketch. Not just Ashley Padilla's performance, which is perfect, but the writing as well.

No.

After a series of rulings indicating Trump is a king, a single ruling against the regime doesn’t mean the Supreme Court once again believes in democracy. I think we need to wait for a few more principled rulings in favor of our constitution before declaring No Kings. He is still mostly above the law

It's going to be a long list

US national park gift shops ordered to purge merchandise promoting DEI The Trump administration is expanding its crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion by ordering national parks to remove certain items from gift shops.

"But conservative think tanks say taxpayer-funded spaces shouldn’t be allowed to advance ideologies they say are divisive."

Are they considering how divisive the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court have become?

The politicians in Indiana should be the first to resist this heavy handed threat. They and Republican state legislators all across the nation should see this attempted coercion as an affront. Their oath is to the Constitution not Donald Trump or the Republican party.

Where Did Anti-Trans Laws Start? How a Forgotten Houston Ordinance Turned Into a Massive, Nationwide Culture War In fighting for bathroom bills in Houston, Texas conservatives provided a blueprint for the rest of the country.

IRW — a Pulitzer-winning nonprofit newsroom at American — and @thebarbedwire.com traced the history of anti-trans legislation. Houston conservatives realized homophobia didn’t fly anymore, weaponized girls’ safety, and parroted segregationist language. It worked.

There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact,

most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Homeland Security Director Noem is a liar, as is the President. And that matters.

Where is Congress? 🙈🙉🙊

U.S. reinstates all canceled library grants after court order A court ruled that Trump’s effort to dismantle the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the only federal agency dedicated to funding libraries, was unlawful.

"In a brief statement posted online Wednesday, the IMLS said that 'upon further review' it had reinstated all federal grants."

Ah, but he's got his little pocket flag. God, that irks me! Same with Rubio and the other sycophants wearing their red ties. To call them lickspittles is too kind. Craven.

The First Amendment (And A Court) Punch Back Tonight, we have a post that is longer than usual.

But, less than a week later President Trump outdid himself when he, backed by his HHS appointees, gave medical advice to pregnant women, telling them they should tough it out if they have a fever.

This struck me as Eve eating the forbidden apple all over again. It's HER fault.

Don't believe it!

Up until this week, I thought the stupidest thing I had ever heard a U S president say was, “The one that I thought would be easiest, because of my relationship with President Putin [was] Russia and Ukraine… But he's let me down. He's really let me down,” Trump said on his 2nd state visit to the U.K

Opinion | The real enemy of democracy sneaked up on me I used to be a cautious optimist, but social media has changed our politics for the worse.

Corruption, cruelty, incompetence or some combination.

Missouri's "school choice" program siphons millions from public schools through tax credits. 90 %+ of "scholarships" flow to KC, STL & SGF, only 0.2 % to students with disabilities. Rural and truly low‑income families see almost none of $. Learn more👉t.ly/NdPR0

US President back-pedalling furiously after his administration treated some innocent hard-working Koreans like they were innocent hard-working Latinos.

So the white dude from Fox News said we should kill mentally ill homeless folks, he apologizes and they’re good; @karenattiah.bsky.social posts an accurate quote and says she’s not in the mood to mourn and gets bounced.

It is a lot of shit to keep track of.

Among the sickening things about this process was watching the vice president smugly presiding, and casting the decisive vote, to loot the Medicaid system that is so important to communities like the one where he came from in Ohio — all for the billionaires so important to him now.

"This has been an awful process." Eating shit usually is.

Join the discussion/followup of June 14th rallies.

Just a few days ago, Speaker Mike Johnson, the puritanical pixie twit, refused to rule out arresting Governor Newsom. He added that Newsom should be “tarred and feathered,” a form of torture popularized by vigilantes. He is a reckless hypocrite.

It’s time for our Republican colleagues to speak out against this crap. This is not who we are.
