Breathing in hefty lungfuls of smoke as I get explosive diarrhea from salad, the sky turns apocalyptic orange while oil companies drill in protected lands, screwworms are eating cattle alive and the president just paid $6 million for rape. And I’m also able to bet on all of it!

Fox News and Facebook did to our parents exactly what they said video games would do to us.

Trump just killed a bipartisan affordable housing bill that passed the Senate 85–5 /the House 358–32 while people are drowning in rent, mortgages, inflation, & high gas and energy bills.
But sure, tell us all how this billionaire “populist” dickhead is fighting for working people.
MAGA got conned.

Trump’s egregious (repeat) lie about Jan. 6 in the new NBC interview he walked out of: “They had FBI agents ushering them into the building. They had FBI: ‘Go into the building.’”

There’s precisely no evidence this happened. DOJ’s inspector general found that the FBI had zero undercover agents in the Capitol crowd. Kash Patel has himself debunked a Trump-promoted conspiracy theory on this subject, saying FBI agents were merely deployed to do crowd control after the police declared a riot.

And of the dozens of Jan. 6 defendants who tried a “the cops let me in” defense, just one (1) was acquitted. Even in that case, the acquitting judge said that though the defendant reasonably believed he was being allowed in, the officers in question were actually overrun by the crowd and standing back reasonably and responsibly, not explicitly encouraging anyone to enter. (And they weren’t FBI.)

So all of you guys who were in my comments last month talking about how food assistance should not include candy and soda but actual healthy foods, I suppose you’re going to call your members of Congress and the White House about this?

Never forget that one of Trump’s first actions as President was to tear apart America’s largest consumer protection agency.

Donald Trump Jr is a paid strategic advisor for Kalshi, and a major investor and advisor for Polymarket.

The Trump administration is using taxpayer money to sue to protect their family’s investments.

This is what corruption looks like.

NESTERAK: President Trump has granted clemency to numerous individuals who have stolen hundreds of millions in Medicaid funds. Can we expect any of these folks to be shown the same mercy?

McDONALD: I'll take a different question

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

When did we normalize this? When did it become okay for a president to tell a female reporter she’s a ‘dumb person’ for asking a totally legitimate question about his contradictory answers? Was there a specific date and time it become okay? Normal? Normalized?

Trump negotiating the release of eight AI-generated Iranian women with himself on his private social media site has to be a new low in the history of relations between different factions of the Human species.

Markey: Your MAHA report from May of 2025, cites studies linking glyphosate to cancer. Yet strangely, only 4 months later, your second MAHA report did not even mention glyphosate

What happened during those 4 months? Well, the CEO of Bayer which owns Monsanto, which makes Roundup met multiple times with the White House

Yes you chased away a lot of scientists, you defunded many programs, and censored others. You are the problem

A right-wing Christian Congressman is calling a Jewish Senator—whose family was murdered in the Holocaust—“antisemitic” for opposing U.S. funding of genocide.

The word has lost all meaning.

[Tommy Sheridan @citizentommy]

It is now officially recognised by the highest court in the world that Israel is guilty of heinous genocide. Now isolate them. Sanction them. Boycott them. Prosecute them. And most importantly of all militarily defeat them. Israel is a monster. A genocidal monster. Defeat them 😡
