Curiously, there was a memorial service held at the Capitol for ... Charlie Kirk.

In less than a year, Trump erased 12 years of solvency for the trust fund that pays for Medicare Part A The CBO estimates that benefit reductions would start at 8% in 2040 and steadily climb to a 10% cut by 2056.

Trump has erased 12 years of solvency for the trust fund that pays for Medicare Part A. The HI is now slated to be entirely exhausted by 2040, even though the balance generally increases through 2031, as spending will begin to outstrip income in the following year. finance.yahoo.com/news/less-tr...

Agreed.

Just as embarrassing and more depressing is how many “adults” revel in the name-calling and content-free policies. It has been eye-opening how many take pleasure in circuses of cruelty.

The rise of Presidential fanfic and fanvids is *bizarre.*

This is what happens when people can’t be bothered to show up and vote against an internet troll. The video is disgraceful offensive to our allies and friends, for which I sincerely apologize.

One of my new social discomfort points — the list is already very long — is trying to tell Americans who pretty much agree with me on politics that “annexing Canada” jokes are NOT funny to Canadians and that maybe they should consider about why

The Trump Administration Is Ending Aid That It Says Saves Lives The State Department will let lifesaving projects expire because “there is no strong nexus between the humanitarian response and U.S. national interests,” according to an internal email.

Quietly, the Trump administration is now ending even the life-saving aid that they had promised would be preserved

The game has nothing to do with it. Somebody loses every game. It’s the manifest destiny, expansionist bullshit that is infuriating. This is how the USA treats an ally that left 158 dead in Afghanistan after Article V was declared? Not much lower than a faithless ally that thinks it owns the world.

At the risk of moving into the discourse a 2nd time today, the fact that a lot of Americans in the replies see this as a bit of fun trash talk between rivals kind of illustrates the extent to which maybe a lot of Americans aren't reading the room in how they are viewed internationally at this point

I would love to see Dems run on abolishing ICE in elections - and then follow through when we have the numbers to do it.

In the meantime, what we can accomplish is less than perfect. Frustration with Jeffries comes from his calm, level-headed rhetoric when many want bomb-throwers.

It’s an indictment that less than 50% of respondents recognize that the guy who was convicted or racist housing infractions, targets DEI, bans Muslims from coming to the US, calls Africa “shithole countries,” and posts the Obamas as apes is, in fact, a garden-variety racist.

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

I just want to point out that’s Doug Wilson speaking at the Pentagon. Doug Wilson wants: the 19th amendment repealed, non-Christian religions outlawed, the death penalty for homosexuality, women barred from working or holding office, blasphemy laws, and one party theocratic rule.

So Trump, and not the "anonymous staffer," actually did post the Obamas/apes video?

I don't know why conservatives complain about Bad Bunny singing in Spanish. They never listen to lyrics anyway. They think "Born in the USA" is an upbeat patriotic song. They played "We will rock you" on Trump's rallies to rev up the crowd. Trump jerks off two invisible dicks to YMCA.

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.

SpaceX shifts focus from something that it will never do on Mars to something it will never do on the Moon.

Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are brilliant, compassionate, and patriotic Americans—classy, smart, and inspiring.

President Obama and the First Lady set a powerful example by prioritizing family, dignity, and public service above all.

Trump has never accepted election results and he is only getting worse While Trump has been banging the rigged-election drum for years, it is getting worse.

As Trump threatens this year’s elections, he operates against the cold reality that he has never accepted an election he lost. He won’t accept it when he loses control of Congress this fall. He will try to overturn it however he can, with the full range of tools available to him as president.

This powerful scene shows something survivors have been trying to explain for decades.

Freeze. Comply. Dissociate. These are not choices — they’re automatic trauma responses.

F*ck those who don’t understand.
