Consider that not only did someone buy and wear this shirt, but someone else manufactured and sold it. In the end, I think this perfectly sums up the underlying ethics and morality of the MAGA movement.
Trump’s new line:
“I could have sex with his five year old granddaughter in the middle of Fifth Avenue and he would still support me.”

Maybe this will get through to people our age about why shooting boats out of the water based on unsubstantiated claims of transporting drugs is such a horrible idea.

This is an appropriate memorial to Dick Cheney. He was massively and incredibly wrong when he was VP, but he eventually did get a couple things right when he recognized the threat from his own party.

I'm sure a bunch of people are posting this, so I'll be one more -- the AI-generated Epstein Ballroom video from the Lincoln Project is well worth a look and it's only a minute long: lincolnproject.us/epstein-ball...

This cartoon accurately describes not just Mike Johnson but most of the right-wing "Christians", including Texas' own Ken Paxton.
I don't know what Mike Johnson is, but he sure as shit ain't Christian.

So accurate. Abbott, Patrick, Paxton, and the rest of them see themselves as real Texas he-men, but this is what they actually are.
Trump barks orders, like he did in the infamous call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and those proud, independent Texas Republicans sure do behave like a bunch of lackeys. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpCorruption

And I have to give Gavin Newsom credit for this one...whoever is coming up with these responses is really on the ball.

While the NYT still does excellent journalism at times, this bit of mush from today's NYT morning newsletter is a perfect example of what they do wrong. No, it's not "unclear", because there is no way that tariffs will lower prices. None. And they know it, but are afraid to be that blunt.

Worth reading as a reminder of how addled Trump is. Better yet, start following Rex Huppke here on BlueSky because his stuff is consistently worth reading.
Opinion: It was nice of Donald Trump to travel to Scotland and show our European allies we're led by a self-absorbed, weird man in obvious mental decline.

Something a little lighter...here's a flyer that I saw posted in Kochel, Germany on a recent trip. My partner and I had a good laugh when we saw this. That said, it doesn't mean what it sounds like -- it translates as "We're looking for you".

This is just so accurate...not just for Trump's press secretary, but for right-wing "Christians" in general.

One of those "dangerous gang members" that Trump is supposedly protecting us from.
I've been sharing all the Alien Enemies Act stuff on X and it's got HUGE engagement there too, actually. People are really fired up about this stuff across a lot of different political lines. For example, Andry's case in particular has shocked even some prominent conservatives.

The latest e-mail newsletter from Senator Cornyn (R-Trump's nether regions) shows that the man has gone utterly insane. See highlighted portion of newsletter wherein he suggests Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Absolutely disgusting.
