The way this guy always has a twinkling smile as he's talking on some news show or other about the most dystopian hellscape imaginable. Oh haha, those silly "new kids out of college" thinking they might someday get to have a job and eat food.

BASH: Santos pleaded guilty to defrauding constituents of hundreds of thousands of dollars, money he will no longer be required to pay back. Is the commutation acceptable to you?

BRITT: What I appreciate is President Trump's commitment to the American people. We saw disarray under President Biden.

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

Expanding on this:
For decades, conservatives have been telling everyone that “politics” is bad and we need to “keep politics out” of daily life.

First, that’s wrong. When average people avoid politics, billionaires win. (They don‘t stop doing politics. And what beats them is mass engagement.)

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

This is a color drawing of Piglet and Pooh, walking in the snow, between a small stand of trees and shrubs, on a cloudy, cool day. “Is he dead yet?” asked Piglet. “No,” said Pooh. “Fuck, said Piglet.

“Is he dead yet?” asked Piglet.
“No,” said Pooh.
“Fuck,” said Piglet.

Yikes

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

They're trying to get away with it again.

They pretend that the USA was founded as a Christian nation.

Then they pretend and insist they’re Christians.

Then they govern like the motherfucking antichrist.

Chinese cyber menace exceeds threat from Russia, Dutch spy chief warns Top intel director tells POLITICO that Moscow’s new military buildup is concerning — and Donald Trump’s election has been a wake-up call for European spies.

A top Dutch spy says Europe shouldn't take its eye off potential danger from China, even as Russian ruler Vladimir Putin continues to attract most of the continent's security attention.

The uniting theme of Trump’s presidency? Ineptitude | Robert Reich From deportations to human rights to the economy, the president’s actions have resulted in mayhem. Here’s a sampling

Ineptitude, incompetence and chaos. Trump is utterly incapable of governing America, writes Robert Reich. From deportations to human rights to the economy, the president’s actions have resulted in mayhem. Here’s a sampling from recent weeks.

In Poland, we know all about fighting illiberal regimes. Here are our lessons for the Trump age | Jarosław Kuisz and Karolina Wigura Our political history is one of catastrophe, communism, and developing powerful antibodies against oppression, say Jarosław Kuisz and Karolina Wigura

I think @amandalitman.bsky.social is correct here

Donald Trump thought it was excellent shade wearing a blue suit at the Pope's funeral.

It is a shame he won't see the Mardi Gras at his.

White Men haven't been abandoned, the billionaires have abandoned everybody and the billionaires cover is that immigrants and disabled people are living it up.

There's only one thing we can't afford, billionaires, and why should we, there is no way to earn that much money by working and paying tax.

Only by stealing.

Wow the UK really is a cesspit.

Is this administration lying to the American people? It sure appears it is, and it will be America alone. Why would any country trust this administration? They haven't been honest yet. #DemsUnited #DemVoice1
