Not worried about getting interrogated by Trump’s gestapo, I'll just tell them I've been anti-Democrat since Sleepy Joe ripped me off for 600 clams

One reason Twitter is dying is because people are finally realizing how fucking stupid it is to pay a douchey billionaire a monthly fee for a "VIP account" that only makes them feel obligated to create more free content for him to attract advertisers with (and reward him for helping to elect Trump).

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Don't count on that $2000 tariff rebate check yet, Trump is lying about a lot of things with regard to it, including the math, never mind the fact that it's been no more "strategic" than a completely unnecessary tax.

Three Ways You Can Tell Trump Is Lying about Tariff Rebates - emptywheel
Trump's promises he'll pay tariff rebates isn't real. Rather, it's part of a two-sided effort to pressure SCOTUS not to make him pay back taxes he unlawfully collected.

People have gotten so used to thinking "Well, everything sucks, but at least we have rich political comedians like Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert speaking truth to power" that they've forgotten how pointless that is, and that the only people who actually benefit from it are rich comedians.

NY Gov Hochul made the anti-free-bussing remarks from Puerto Rico, "where she and other New York Democrats are gathering for an annual get-together." How many bus fares paid for all that prime rib? 🤔

Buzzfeed compiled a list of posts from staunch MAGAs who were worried about they're SNAP benefits. See if you can tell how this one their is 100% real.

If you're contributing to charities or doing any other mutual aid, don't forget to bring food to pet food pantries. No one should be forced to give up their pet just because Trump's torpedoing SNAP.

You know, AOC's "spilling the tea" about how MTG's real motivation for suddenly slamming Republicans is because Trump told her she can't run for the Senate in Georgia seems a little Mean Girl-ish and politically brainless. Take your catty little beefs elsewhere, you're not on friggin Storage Wars.

This bullshit with Trump blocking SNAP assistance is a King Joffrey-level ego-driven power play to make the Democrats give up and reveal themselves as hopeless pussies forever. Bougie shitlibs best be looking up the term "mutual aid" and following the simple instructions, fucking stat.
