News leaked that Donald Trump is staging a military parade in the capital nine weeks from now, on June 14. For the first time in our nation’s history, we will have soldiers and tanks flowing through the streets as a display of our president’s might.

Last Friday, comic @zzdoublezz.bsky.social performed at the Kennedy Center, which had very recently canceled a scheduled performance by the Gay Men’s Chorus.
So, Zach invited the chorus on stage to sing during his show instead. They sang "the gayest song we know"

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

The corruption is one thing, but the cruelty and disregard for the future of the planet is just too much to bear.

The GOP is not a political party.
It’s an organized crime syndicate.
It’s a frat party.
It’s a Klan rally.
It’s the modern-day Spanish inquisition.
But it’s no longer a legitimate political party.
