Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"

Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

Wanna give a shout out to Roman Reigns for declaring his support for Donald Trump, followed immediately by getting low blowed and curb stomped and looking like he wanted to cry as he hobbled out of the ring dejectedly #wrestlemania

FFS I got death threats about making Optimus Prime the wrong kind of truck when I wrote the TRANSFORMERS movie. Do the job or get out of the way.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R): "We are all afraid…I am oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real."

I'm a one-issue voter in the 2028 presidential election (besides that I'd like to have one), and that's: You will solemnly swear to put these Nazis on trial. All of them.

Art of the deal!
TL;DR: The new U.S. tariff rate against our two largest trading partners is either 10%, 25% or 35%, and so far no one I've reached out to at the White House is able to tell me which.
So the White House says the 10% baseline tariff also applies to Canada & Mexico. It has not said whether that's the effective new rate itself; whether it adds to the 25% fentanyl tariff, making the new rate 35%; or whether it kicks in only if the fentanyl tariff falls away

Totally agree with you, Emily.
Call me Little Mary Sunshine, but I think this tariff fiasco is going to fuck him up. That plus the risk to Social Security/Medicaid. People *should* care about extralegal kidnappings, attacks on universities & law firms, all the fascist sickness, but they don’t. Financial chaos can break through

New York's crooked mayor won't be held accountable for likely criminal violations because the U.S.'s crooked president tried to leverage that accountability to do his own crooked shit and a court had to intervene. Democracy at its finest.

I truly believe that if James Dean had lived longer, he would’ve been Val Kilmer. A dedicated artist who felt deeply, thirsted for truth, & devoted himself completely to his art. My first real comprehension of the idea of a movie star. Farewell to a real genius. #RIPValKilmer

Why should anyone be surprised that Trump's saying he's going to have a 3rd term? And why wouldn't he think it possible? He does nothing but strong arm dictator shit, and media's message back to him is, "We beg you master, don't be displeased with us."
