@NYCMayor @LiberalWoe_man I love this so much!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

🚨“IT’S F*CKING PATHETIC”

Wow! Congressman Pat Ryan went OFF on Republicans for shutting down Congress to avoid an up or down vote on the Iran War - and he’s rightfully PISSED!

“These CHICKEN HAWK MORHER F*CKERS are gonna send us home for Memorial Day weekend?…

Americans are paying almost $5 a gallon at the pump. It is f*cking pathetic.

And they use this procedural bullshit argument, and every American should just be absolutely outraged about this.”

GET THEM, REP. RYAN!

“The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich.”
@jamestalarico

True statement. Trump slashed programs and fired workers so that the wealthy got wealthier. #DemsUnited

A long and embarrassing 2 days.

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: BROWN NOSER! Donald "Tough on China" Trump unleashes an embarrassing deluge of flattery during his meeting with President Xi Jinping — proving that he's desperate for a deal.

Imagine if Biden or Obama had done this...

"Uh, you're a great leader. I say it to everybody, you're a great leader. Sometimes people don't like me saying it, but I say it anyway because it's true. I only say the truth," Trump said to the authoritarian leader during their meeting in Beijing.

This is humiliating even by Trumpian standards. He knows that Xi holds all of the leverage in this summit. The Supreme Court struck down Trump's tariffs, removing his primary negotiating cudgel. At the same time, his pointless Iran War is decimating the U.S. economy and cratering his popularity at home.

Trump hopes that by heaping praise on Xi, he'll convince the Chinese President to throw him a pity deal. It doesn't matter what's actually in it, Trump just wants something that he can hold up as a victory when he flies home. In his naked hunger for such a "win," he could end up giving away the entire proverbial farm.

Contrast Trump's pathetic groveling with the educated, articulate remarks that Xi gave at the meeting—
“As the once-in-a-century transformation accelerates and the international landscape undergoes change and turmoil, the world has reached a new crossroads," he said. "Can China and the United States overcome the 'Thucydides Trap’ and establish a new paradigm for relations between great powers?"

"Can we can join hands to address global challenges and bring greater stability to the world?"

"Can we focus on the well-being of our peoples and the future of humanity to jointly build a bright future for our bilateral relations?"

"These are the questions posed by history and by the world and its people. Leaders of great powers must jointly provide the answers to these questions of our era," Xi added.

This is going to be a long two days.
Please like and share if you think that Trump is a disgrace to America!

@OccupyDemocrats What a total embarrassment. The Chinese do not forget.

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

CRINGE. Dejected, low-energy Trump embarrasses himself with rambles about Chinese restaurants and brings up VERY uncomfortable history in address to Xi Jinping at a state banquet!

Donald Trump and a cabal of tech billionaires flew to China to pay homage to the world’s new reigning superpower, and the president was seriously struggling to find something nice to say about China beyond his usual empty platitudes.

“Chinese workers helped lay the railroad tracks that connected our Atlantic coast to the Pacific!” said Trump, forgetting or possibly not even knowing that these Chinese workers were horrendously mistreated and massacred in pogroms by White Americans, fueled by the same racist anti-immigrant rhetoric that Donald Trump now employs against Latino, Arabic, and African immigrants.

Trump then celebrated how “Chinese restaurants in America today outnumber the five largest fast-food chains in the United States, all combined! That’s a pretty big statement!”

He hit the rare double doozy doodoo with this statement, highlighting the dominance of Chinese culture in American cuisine while also disrespecting the Chinese government, who he feels should be proud that the Americanized corn syrup slop that Americans think of as “Chinese food” but would be barely recognizable to an actual Chinese person is so prominent.

It’s true there’s not a lot to work with here, as successive American governments have obsessively treated China as an adversary to be countered in order to justify the never-ending torrent of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of the military-industrial complex.
But there HAD to be something else he could bring up, right?

Like what about Chinese-American Olympic stars Eileen Gu and Alysa Liu? Oh, wait, they’re liberals, can’t talk about them!

But don’t worry, we’re sure that these minor gaffes will be waved off by the Chinese. After all, Trump has already given the the greatest gift they could ever ask for – the dismantlement of America’s empire, the abdication of global hegemony, and the complete and utter humiliation of the United States in front of the entire world.

You MAGAs want us to stop describing him like that? Then tell him to STOP doing trashy, dumb shit that humiliates our entire country.

Damn.

“Of all the prevailing media narratives around Gavin Newsom, the one that is most conspicuous by its absence is how under its two-term governor California became the top performing economy not just among its 49 siblings but also any developed nation.”

This doesn’t lower grocery bills.
…or housing costs.
…or gas prices.
…or utility bills.
…or healthcare costs.
…or childcare costs.

Attacking trans kids only protects bigots, and distracts from all the things Republicans said they’d do, but didn’t.

The Trump Admin is closing all USDA Forest Service research facilities in Michigan. Losing these facilities threatens our fight against invasive pests which will jeopardize 3 million acres of forest in Michigan.

[Brad @BraddrofliT]

The appeal of Trump isn’t policy. It’s comfort.

Comfort in ignorance.
Comfort in blaming others.
Comfort in never having to evolve.

He doesn’t challenge his base he protects them from reality.

And they love him for it.

Merrill Streep just NAILED why Trump's Save Act is a naked attempt to silence women at the voting booth.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

BREAKING: This is escalating fast. These latest updates spell doom.

• Saudi Arabia urging U.S. to ramp up attacks — may join the war
• Iran just turned back 2 Chinese state-owned container ships in the Strait of Hormuz — despite China being on the “approved” list
• Tehran now says ONLY ships carrying household goods, cars, clothing, or pharmaceuticals for Iran can pass
• Only ~33% of Iran’s missiles destroyed after 1 month
• Iran still has a “significant” arsenal + recoverable stock
• Drone capability largely intact
• Iran’s Supreme Leader has refused negotiations

Trump screwed us.

[Ford News @FordJohnathan5]

🚨 #BREAKINGNEWS Its appears Speaker Mike Johnson caught on hot mic that The Save Act would result in 12% to 18% voter turnout. Saying that would be huge for the Republican Party. The Save Act is a voter suppression bill. Not elections security.🚨

[Ford News @FordJohnathan5]

You are wrong. Here is why Shiloh. Please stop for a second. This is about being factual.

Michigan's total registered voters in 2024: ~8.47 million (includes inactive).

Active registered voters: ~7.27–7.31 million.

Citizen voting-age population (CVAP, Census 2020-2024 ACS/EAC data): ~7.65 million.

Active registrations are below CVAP. The gap is inactive records (moved/deceased, pending purge).

Turnout: 5.71 million votes (74.6% of CVAP), a record.

You are wrong Shiloh.
