An image with a black and white background and a Latin American immigrant and a title SchrΓΆinger's Immigrant. On the left, it reads, "Lazily collecting all the welfare." On the right, it reads, "But also somehow taking all the jobs."

Trump supporters have their guy as President, complete control of Congress, a weaponized SCOTUS, FBI, and DOJ, and they're still outraged.

That's because MAGAs are inherently miserable people who will never understand joy.

That, and deep down they know their guy is a moron.

SCOOP: The Trump admin plans to release the audio of Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur.

It’s expected to be made to the news site Axios before others were to receive the hours-long recording, the people said.

so to be clear about what happened here, the Trump White House released audio meant to make Joe Biden look bad to Axios hours after the US's credit rating was downgraded.

Trump wanted a distraction and the usual suspects in the press are happy to oblige.

All you need to know about the Republican tax plan:

The wealthiest 5% would get tax breaks.

Everyone else would see crucial health care and nutrition assistance programs slashed.

Call your reps.

Respect new names for popes but throw tantrums over pronouns for neighbors. Got it.

A Mother's Day Hell, From the GOP Today, as Mother’s Day Weekend began, I watched the sickening video of a hysterical 16-year-old girl with her face smashed into the pavement by police officers, as I.C.E.

This teenage daughter’s life has been irreparably violated, her sense of safety shattered, her family’s sacred story visited by a horror you and I will fortunately never understand.

This is Trump’s America on this Mother’s Day.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

For the Daily Beast, I wrote about the coward Jeff Bezos: "I know a line on a receipt is a small thing, but capitulation always starts small. With that small thing, Bezos has granted the President of the United States veto power over how he runs his business. "

My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine.

This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs.

We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers β€” it's time to raise the alarm now.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

They didn’t just send Abrego Garcia β€œback to El Salvador”, they sent him to a fucking torture prison.

They didn’t send him β€œback to where he was from.”
They sent him to his death.

They cannot prove he was a β€œterrorist”.
They took him by β€œmistake.”
And they do not fucking care.

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

His name is Andry Hernandez Romero. He is a young professional from Venezuela. He is a makeup artist. He is a gay man.

Andry was a target for abuse in his homeland of Venezuela. He was viciously humiliated daily β€” the victim of discrimination for his sexuality. He was also being persecuted for…
