Liberal, atheist, low tolerance for lies and propaganda and, therefore, for Trump and the Republican Party that enables and uses him
@maddow.msnbc.com I am a huge fan of 15+ yrs. Your focus on the polls is unconvincing as a positive. 40-44% of Americans are still so loyal they’re willing to answer favorably about him - this despite all of the horrible incompetence and tyranny he did in just over 90 days. I find that depressing.

Translating Trumpian speak:
Down is “up”
Awful is the new “great”
Lies are the new “truth”
Wreckless is the new “efficient”
Unconstitutional is the new “lawful”
Kakistocracy is the new “meritocracy”
Authoritarianism is now “freedom”
Lawlessness is the new “rule of law”
Worst is the new “best”

National cancer institute is required to treat the cancer moonshot as controversial solely because it was a term coined by a Democrat. Extinction level insecurity from this regime.
National Cancer Institute employees received internal guidance to flag communications for scrutiny if they addressed “controversial, high profile, or sensitive” topics.

Among the 23 hot-button issues: vaccines, autism, and peanut allergies.

Vaccines. Fluoride. Autism. Communications involving these and 20 other “controversial, high profile, or sensitive” topics will get extra scrutiny under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Why would anyone think Trump wouldn’t side with Putin against Zelenskyy after Trump repeatedly sided with Putin against American intelligence? Even if he doesn’t know it (and I believe he does), he’s a Russian agent.

A few important things about the Texas lawsuit against a New York abortion provider:

1) Ken Paxton appears to be lying about the patient suffering "serious complications" that "required medical intervention."

2) We need to talk about how Paxton found out about this abortion

Congratulations, media! Trump claims he has tamed you, and apparently he's right. So who cares that you've lost the respect of half the country, and betray your profession daily by allowing people to lie without correction. The country is massively misinformed, and you are a big part of the reason.
Ok Marc. I haven’t posted a Trump clip yet on Bluesky because I realize people here don’t want to see/hear him. Please direct all complaints to Marc!

Pretty crazy someone can be charged federally with interfering in an election and those charges get dropped because they win an election.

Canada's top military commander Jennie Carignan calls out the GOP for questioning women in combat: After 39 years as a combat arms officer and risking my life in many operations, I can’t believe that in 2024, we still have to justify women's contribution to defense and service in their country...

Elon Musk says Americans must suffer the "hardship" of $2 trillion in cuts to public spending, while he still gets tax cuts, government contracts, and corporate welfare.
