Talented yet jaded dreamer. Pro on the job; prude in the arthouse. Vigilance vs. all excessive rustling, chewing + chopping. I shut lit home screens down.

He is accomplishing something big: solving Putin's problems.

Kash Patel never should’ve been allowed to step foot in the FBI building in the first place.

Shame on everyone who voted to confirm him.

Immigrants weren’t just filling existing jobs; they were helping create them. That’s Econ 101: jobs are not a fixed pie. More people means more customers, more demand, more businesses expanding, and yes, more hiring.

[Dean Baker @DeanBaker13]

Can anyone explain how Trump can take$1.25 billion appropriated for foreign aid and divert it to his private “Board of Peace”, but Biden lacked authority for reducing student loan debt?

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Still can’t get over the House GOP rejecting a 100-0 bill from the Senate to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA and… just going on vacation.

Complete abdication of duty.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

it continues to puzzle, year after year. when Biden stuttered, that made headlines; when T***p exhibits unmistakable signs of cognitive impairment, not even to mention the malice of his (unfiltered) ill nature, & his evident cluelessness in profoundly serious matters like US military being sent to Iran, mainstream media pretends not to notice.

[Daniel DePetris @DanDePetris]

Trump’s top two goals in the war:

(1) No Iranian nuclear weapon.

(2) The Strait of Hormuz is open for business.

Just a friendly reminder that we already had both before the war.

[Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY]

If you start a war where we spend billions of dollars, thousands of people are killed and wounded simply to achieve objectives that were already met before you started the war, that’s not “winning.”

[Terry Moran 🇺🇸 @TerryMoran]

The chart is based on FEMA’s own data.

It shows the Trump administration approved 23% of disaster requests from Dem-led states (defined as gov + 2 Dem senators) vs. 89% for Rep-led states.

“…one nation, under God…”

Until it comes to helping Americans in a disaster.

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

I know it's boring and repetitive to talk about how grossly evil Trump is, but the fact remains: Trump is grossly evil, in a way that's pretty much unprecedented in this country.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Such a pathetic post by @StateDept

We’re just mediating a war between two innocent parties. Poor Russians just want a wee bit more land and Ukraine is not letting them have it! How rude.

Wonder if we would just give Canada Maine if they wanted it

To state the obvious, laws to prevent voter fraud are solutions in search of a problem. In fact, they are designed to create obstacles to suppress the votes of certain demographics of likely Democratic party voters.

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

Fact checking fraud claims: Heritage Foundation documented 1,620 cases of voter fraud from 1982-2025, including 100 cases of noncitizens voting. That's about 0.000008% of more than 1.3 billion votes cast in presidential elections in that time. @YLindaQiu https://t.co/c07MmyhyZm

“We just told Zelensky the guarantees won't kick in until he does what russia wants.”

This is the Secretary of State of the United States telling the victim of aggression that it must do what the aggressor wants. Never forget. Vote them all out.

[Mr. Townsend @Fader_Bigavell]

@Acyn The level of narcissism required to say this to a room full of people is next level. And the crowd just laughs, too oblivious to realize he's calling them all losers right to their faces. 🤡💀

[Dr. Cole @1drcole]

Trump just admitted—out loud, on camera—that he deliberately surrounds himself with losers because successful people make him feel small. He can’t stand hearing their stories; he only wants an audience for his own. This isn’t leadership. It’s the textbook confession of a malignant narcissist too insecure to grow, too fragile to compete, and too childish to lead. Pathetic.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump: I hang out with losers because it makes be feel better. I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success.

Thank you to @KonstantinKisin & @francisjfoster for having me on to inform their audience on the actual history of US/Iran negotiations.

I brought receipts!
