Chinese media contrasts US pageantry and violence on Trump’s parade day
President drew on fighting words in a speech after the parade, but Chinese media says US faces ‘uncertain tomorrow amid gunfire and slogans’.

Just to say it out loud: I am a 76 yo woman who has been totally disenchanted w/ the Democratic party since the first time they screwed Bernie. The Dems have NO back bench or, it seems, any interest in developing one. That is why I sent money yesterday to @davidhogg.bsky.social 's PAC. Stop MAGA

Chutzpah is lying to dodge the draft and then asking the Army to celebrate your damn birthday.

My question: Why hasn't SCOTUS issued a Contempt of Court charge against "potus" for defying it's unanimous order regarding Albrego Garcia?? It has the power, supposedly, to order him arrested by US Marshals and held in a Federal facility. So why not???

I never chased blue checkmark status on the bad place, and I’ll be damned if I’m gonna do it here

My sign was ready & my phone was password protected, all set to go THEN for the 2nd time in 3 days there's a stray kitten crying in the parking lot. We got 1 Wednesday but his missing brother is here. Trap is out & I'm checking every couple of hours. Then off to the no kill shelter before close.

It's sort of funny how the prosecution of this man under 45 (now known as 47) for exposing injustice and illegality is now being done to students, people with green cards, and even to US Citizens.

I don’t know, millions of people got in the streets a few days ago, the moderates are freaking out about their money, and the President of the United States is carrying out a wildly unpopular, intentional demolition of the economy.

Might be time for leaders with spines to actually get in the game.

Was explaining to David (11) the tariff stuff and what a tariff is and he was like “you mean like what started the revolutionary war?” And I was like; yes exactly.

In case you missed it, DOGE WATCH as of yesterday has claimed cuts of $140 billion, itemized cuts of $50.8 billion and VERIFIED cuts of 5.5 billion. Methinks there are discrepancies in their accounting process. @https://doge.muskwatch.com @juddlegum.bsky.social

@schumer.senate.gov Please resign your seat and give it to a real leader, the man who gave us hope not the man who gave up so he could go on his book tour. - @booker.senate.gov for Minority Leader!

Maybe it's because @booker.senate.gov or maybe it's just a basic sense of fairness BUT

I wish I knew if @Ed Markey (aka Ed Malarky) and @warren.senate.gov - my "wonderful" MA senators were up there with @booker.senate.gov being brave enough and daring to put their corporate donors in Trusk's spotlight. Probably not - old, white and rich - they, unfortunately, are my senators.

Now DOGE is after federal funding for our museums and libraries. Uneducated people are much easier to manage and if we make them think museums & libraries have always been inadequate so much the better.
Entire staff at federal agency that funds libraries and museums put on leave
The staff of the Institute of Museum and Library Services was placed on administrative leave Monday morning, following a meeting between IMLS leadership and DOGE staff.

And if we do extend the benefit of the doubt to them ever again, shame on us. They've proven they will lie to get what they want. They do not deserve any more chances.
journalists should assume the admin is lying. judges should assume the admin is lying. Dems voting on appointments should assume the admin is lying.

like, we should not be extending the benefit of the doubt ever here.
