I am beyond flabbergasted at this point. Some of you may know that Hitler decided the official font of the Third Reich had to change because the Blackletter they were preferring was too Jewish. So, the Calibri has to go...

Random 68-year-old woman flies to European Union meeting and tells them to all hang on a bit: things will be better after the midyear elections. Officials give her as much credence as they give members of the trump administration. Problem postponed.

When are we going to see our elected representatives & real journalists:
1) Go to the countries our government is deporting people to and check on how they are?
2) Begin talking now about the probable consequences of this administration's actions, including their likely prison sentences?

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

I am just floored by the "Horrors of Socialism" resolution (#58) vote. The ignorance of history, political constructs and basic knowledge of society's expectation for its government exemplified in this bill is staggering. What the hell are they thinking? Time for Washington to go back to school.

Daily Beast will ask for your email address for you to read this article. It's worth it.
Let’s see if one single pundit who said there was some great realignment of American sentiment with this last election, based on what they saw on the Nazi-owned platform overrun by foreign actors, offers any retractions or corrections for their gullibility.
It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

I'm watching the West Wing & mourning the loss of our government. Trump should be tied to a chair & his eyes held open like the Clockwork Orange guy and forced to watch the entire series.

One stupid man's hubris & ignorance is making hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of people miserable. Hard to imagine how that could happen. Every day I come across something else hopeful & exciting that is being ruined by this idiot & his minions.

This is a 52-pound 9000+ page accordion-bound artist’s book of Donald Trump’s lies, conceived, printed, and bound by Jill and Ray Nichols of @leadgraffiti.bsky.social in Delaware. Each of the 9000 pages has the text (per the Washington Post) of one or more of Trump’s lies; none are repeated.

I'd give a lot to hear just one reporter tell tRump: "If that's what you are being told, I'm afraid your staff is lying to you..."

Let's get our brains in gear: there must be a clever way for families & individuals who want to be a part of the protests but can't for good reasons, to indicate their agreement. It shouldn't cost a lot so all incomes can be a part. Ideas???

Unbelievable. Cruelty is the point.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Virginia Woolf, talking about the early days of the second World War, remarked "it was like we were walking open eyed into a trap." I think that well describes the last 8 months in the United States.

The thing we need to remember is, if there are hundreds of us with the same income as one millionaire, we also have hundreds of votes, versus that one millionaire's.
