This chart is absolutely essential.

It explains why Trump removed America from the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2018.

Because it was *working*.

Trump needed a cause for war, so he manufactured it. This has all been in the works for some time now. He was never "weighing options."

Good morning from the United States of America, where thanks to a plurality of our dumbest citizens, the “price of eggs” felon they voted for has just made everything we buy much, much more expensive.

I know America has moved on but I think it's still Hella important that Donald Trump referenced Napoleon and pretty much told the world he's above the law.

That's just me though. I'm a silly libtard. Anyway look pronouns!

I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.

10% of NASA’s workforce has been laid off—guess that’ll be a boost for SpaceX.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

While Musk runs the country, Trump had a productive weekend naming himself Chair of the Kennedy Center, picking the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, canceling pennies, demanding Google Maps rename Gulf of Mexico, invited only White immigrants from Africa, and saved plastic straws.

Costco to raise hourly pay for most US store workers to over $30 Retailer Costco Wholesale will increase pay for most of its hourly U.S. store workers to more than $30, according to a memo sent to employees this week.

Costco - the only company to publicly come out in support of Diversity initiatives despite pressure from the GOP and they just raised the pay for their workers. Stop shopping at Target.

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak.

Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the “Gulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this change—Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali

Just sitting here thinking about those “price of eggs” Trump voters who are gonna get a multimillionaire Treasury Secretary who supports giving even more tax cuts to the super rich but does not support increasing the federal minimum wage.

Great job.
Bravo.

You fucking idiots.

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here

THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.

You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

Which is more powerful?

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Proud to have family and friends by my side as I swore in to the 119th Congress!

Yesterday, I voted for Rep. Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker of the House. He received the full support of our Caucus - WITHOUT having to make any shady side deals to secure votes.

Our current Speaker can't say that.

When Minnesotans face a medical emergency, they should expect that help will come – whether they live in Minneapolis or on the Iron Range.

We just directed $24 million to EMS providers across Greater Minnesota, so that there will always be someone to answer a call for help.

Big win! The Biden administration has secured the permanent protection of the 640-acre “Kelly Parcel” within Grand Teton National Park. Once at risk of auction and potential luxury development, this vital wildlife migration corridor in the Gros Ventre River Valley will now be preserved!

That's a nice quote from Jacobs. But to the best of my knowledge, Gruden himself hasn't actually taken accountability for the comments in full, which is what growth actually looks like.
