Just a reminder- these are adult men in positions of great responsibility. Are they worried about the economy or Ukraine or climate change causing billions in damages? No, it’s just the childish need to project power. Clowns.

I’ll be watching Kimmel tonight and hope you will too. Frankly, I’m not surprised Disney caved so quickly. But I am relieved. Still, 20% of ABC affiliates will not air the show! We must remember that public outcry makes a difference. And we must keep a watchful eye as the attacks on free speech and the press continue. (1/2)

Trump causing 10,000 United States INTEL WORKERS TO BE LAID OFF after receiving funds from Biden's Chips Act and Trump freezing almost all of the funds OUT OF PURE BITTERNESS.
Turns out Trump only wants "Made in Ameria" if his name is on it, otherwise people will lose jobs.

Trump’s pick to head FEMA didn’t know we had a hurricane season, his head of Homeland Security doesn’t know what habeas corpus is, his head of the Department of Education (who thinks “AI” is a steak sauce) doesn’t know what the Tulsa Race Massacre was and his Social Security Commissioner didn’t even know we had a Social Security Commissioner, all while his head of the Department of Defense is drunk texting war plans, his head of Health & Human Services is citing studies that don’t exist, his head of Transportation won’t fly in or out of at least one of our airports due to safety concerns, and the guy he tapped to lead an $18 million terror prevention team is a 22-year-old former grocery clerk with zero government experience of any kind.
But sure, keep talking about Biden.
Met and knew several - mothers and fathers, taxpayers, various work backgrounds. Only thing they shared for sure was disliking Trump, Musk and their authoritarian policies.

Today, while the market collapsed and four soldiers who died on an exercise in Lithuania arrived at Dover, where was Donald Trump? Was he monitoring the markets? Was he there for the arrival of these heroes?
Nope: he was golfing, with the Saudis
Jesus, he really does need to shoot someone before the Right turns on him. Give this swindler and constant liar the benefit of the doubt? I don’t think so.
I want to set the record straight on tariffs and my POV.
Yes, I am currently a part of the laptop class.
Yes, my retirement savings have been brutalized in recent days.
Yes, I'm very near retirement age.
Yet I have not lost sight of my working class roots.
Further, like everyone else, pro and con, I do not know with certainty what the outcome will be of the Trump Tariffs.
Unlike many, I am willing to give Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt and support his actions, until he proves my trust to be misplaced. He has yet to do that.
Finally, I am entirely sympathetic to fixing the scourge of unbalanced globalism because it's the right thing to do, even if it causes me personal pain.
I really wish more "conservatives" thought like me.
Trump only likes cops who bow before him.

In a sign of respect, every President, Vice President and First Lady put their hands over their hearts as President Carter’s casket moved past — except for one. You can guess who. Such disrespect! 🤬

Can a Republican please explain to me why you voted for this? Seriously, I want to know.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While post shows screenshot of tweet from Feb 2023, when Republicans attempted and failed to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (which included the insulin pricing provision), Republicans are attempting to repeal it again.

Right, nothing to do with extraordinary winds and record dry conditions. Tough to play the MAGA blame game with Mother Nature.
Exactly. Climate change risk is real, just much slower than alarmists claim.
The immense loss of homes in LA is primarily due to:
1. Nonsensical overregulation that prevented creating fire breaks and doing brush clearing.
2. Bad governance at the state and local level that resulted in a shortage of water.

Turns out, that viral video from The Oversight Project of immigrants in Norcross, GA claiming they were registered to vote — and some had already voted — was all a lie.
They admitted they were not able to find any of them in the voter rolls and investigators didn't find any of them had registed to vote.
Trump is anti-American. Let that really sink in. This is not a cable show. This is a serious national election. #VoteBlueToSaveYourFreedomAndTheUSA
Gov. Walz: Trump just crossed a line that I have to tell you, in my lifetime, I would have never imagined. He said he would deploy the military against Americans who disagree with him. He called it the 'enemy within.' To Donald Trump, anybody who doesn't agree with him is the enemy. We need to put this guy behind us
