Drunken political shtpsts from a believer of science, reality, and responsible leadership.

Texans are paying more in property taxes, in electric bills, and gas.

This is Greg Abbott's record. He has failed to deliver after 12 years. Life is harder.

That ends when I'm governor.

Here is 2 minutes of Donald Trump on the 2024 campaign trail pledging to lower your energy and electric bills by 50% within 12 months of taking office.

Can we get an update on this from MAGA?

Came across this beautiful rock art on the beach.

This iconic photo was taken at the White House in 1985 of Princess Diana and John Travolta.

LOOK! Do you see it? We already "HAD" a ballroom. That is until Trump decided to demolish it last October.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Is this illegal?

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Donald Trump is going around saying TrumpRx is lowering drug costs by 600%.

So, I decided to test that out.

[Annie @AnnieForTruth]

That’s correct! Any questions??

[Maine @TheMaineWonk]

I’ve written a few campaign ads in my day.

But holy shit.

This ad from @ossoff might be one of the best I’ve ever seen.

Carl Sagan’s prediction about America, made 31 years ago.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Donald Trump cut in front of Queen Camilla and King Charles to greet officials from his administration.

And this is who tens of millions voted for. What an embarrassment.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Gas prices are surging because of this new war in Iran.

I’m calling for a suspension of the federal gas tax — which would immediately drop the price of gas by 18 cents a gallon.

Suspend the gas tax. End the war in Iran. Make life more affordable.

Oh this is fucking hilarious. 😂

@NBA I heard this was just after the bump. Still looking for video including that.

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.

Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

@smerconish The worst part of this madness-method is the risk-taking. What's the risk of firing pandemic whistle-blowers in China, and throwing out US plans to fight a pandemic? The risk is millions dead, trillions spent.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Jesus spent most of his time healing the sick.

Today, we have politicians in Congress with “Christ-follower” in their Twitter bios — but they’re trying to kick the sick off their healthcare.

And they’re willing to shut down the government to do it.
