Speaker Mike Johnson is perpetually trying to deceive people. He uses his milquetoast speech and persona to mask his determination to ruthlessly cause harm. He wears his “Christianity” on his sleeve as a decoy from his evil intentions. He is not a good person, he just tries to play one on TV.

We need to remove the cancer in the Oval Office to restore funding to children’s cancer research.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

WATCH — @whitehouse.senate.gov : “What became of the $50,000 in cash in that Cava bag? Did the FBI get it back from Homan?”

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

Yes and also we all aren't outrage jukeboxes, you can't just press a button and have us be outraged on request. We're all allowed to focus on what we want and where we feel our voices will be effective right now, and trust that others will fight the other fights worth fighting. It's a group effort.

Just set my DVR to record “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Tuesday.

Isn’t this exactly the same thing that happened last time?

It’s the gun industry’s world, we’re just living in it.

This is another phase of their brilliant ongoing marketing campaign.

My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery."

“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.”

Listen to the survivors.

The fact that James Dobson got to live for 89 whole years is a real shame. But now he’s dead!

RUSH LIMBAUGH: “Welcome, Dr. Dobson!”

JAMES DOBSON: “You too? How did we get here?”

RUSH LIMBAUGH: “Something about bearing false witness.”

JAMES DOBSON: “Like *that’s* the worst thing we ever did! So unfair.”

Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."

A while back I made a mistake - I followed a starter pack of folk who turned out to be mostly meme posters. Turns out that turns me off, even when they are Democrats. It made me start avoiding Bluesky but I’m gonna do some curation and get back in here.
