So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.

We have reached levels of cringe previously thought unattainable

I’ll never get over how many in the media seem surprised that a con artist is charming in person. That’s like #1 in the list of grifter qualifications.

Again, my wife lost her excellent job at a nonprofit Seattle hospital because the trump administration simply stopped paying medicaid reimbursements at the beginning of the year, throwing it into complete financial turmoil the cuts are already here

The worst people in America are really having a moment, aren’t they?

hits a little different this morning

this would be a great moment for democrats/liberals to pivot from bill clinton's bad and self-destructive "small government" positioning and fully embrace fdr/lincoln style "the federal government is big and does great things when it has good leaders" positioning

The fan mail has just been rolling in today.

Expelling the press in order to arrest peaceful protesters isn't a good sign.

We’re entering the “so much depends on whether the military will disobey orders” phase of authoritarianism. None of this is good and I wish I could say the danger of protesting and mass action isn’t rising. But it is, and yet the time for protecting and mass action is now.

Isn’t this kind of a weird frame when his threats are what pushed liberals to victory?

there it is

Congratulations @brucefanjoy.bsky.social you put in the work for the people of Carleton!!!!!

It’s official

Jesus Christ, he is going for the military dictatorship play.

what I like to do in my free time is deeply invest in complicated and expensive smart home infrastructure only to have the extraction class abandon the platform because they're too lazy and cheap to spend some of their vast fortunes on quality control, software support, and customer service

Sometimes I write my own headlines www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/o...

We have a majority of the country agreeing that the American president "is a dangerous dictator." If only there had been warning signs before the election... 😐

Everything Trump touches…

Do you know what it takes to get a Canadian to talk like this

remember when papa johns was gonna start adding a .30 cent “obamacare” charge to their receipts?

Either you’re a Schumer Democrat or an AOC Democrat. Be an AOC Democrat.

Now do y’all believe me?

Trump has effectively, and personally, pushed the US into what looks like a terrifying recession.

If you charted the actual Democratic position of late, yes, but in moderate pundit world "moderate" always means moving to the right.

This is wonderful news and congratulations to Canada! I hope one day I can go back to visit, and know I will be allowed to return home. Hey Americans: pay attention.

by joe biden's 100th day in office he had deployed covid vaccines and signed the american rescue plan that fueled an economic recovery by trump's 100th day in office he deleted jackie robinson's web page celebrating his military service

the democratic party's 2024 immigration message from biden and harris was "we're as tough as the republicans, just a little nicer." it was an unmitigated failure and as long as the democrats embrace gop lite on immigration (and so much more), they will fail.

I'm OK with the President of the United States impacting the Canadian elections in the manner that he did. Meaning, a near landslide for the opposite of what he wanted.

a win for rabbit-kind - but in what sense is being kicked off a group chat an “offline consequence”

1. A word about David Hogg, Reince Priebus and how to combat Republican smears. But first, here’s a video. It’s short. Watch it. bsky.app/profile/mari...

The Canadian election should make Republicans ponder their absolute fealty to Trump, but it won’t because they collectively have the backbone of a brine shrimp and the foresight of a sea anemone.

A key fact about tomorrow's Supreme Court arguments: St. Isadore, the Catholic charter school, does NOT agree to abide by state laws in exchange for receiving state funding. It reserves a right to indoctrinate in the Catholic faith and discriminate against non-Catholics. slate.com/news-and-pol...

At the beginning of the year, Liberals trailed Conservatives by over 20 points and it was a forgone conclusion that Pollivier would be the next prime minister. Then Trump began threatening to make Canada the 51st state and raised tariffs... www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I mean, even forgetting about January 6th for a minute...

democrats spent almost the entirety of biden's presidency giving republicans half credit for an infrastructure bill that most republicans voted against. its a very dumb party.

Trump out here winning elections for Canadian liberals. What a guy.

I remember when predicting this sort of move was dismissed as Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Just look at our galaxy. We live in a magnificent place at a magnificent time.

ME: [just existing] SOME CLICKBATE ARTICLE: You've been making omelettes wrong your entire life.

Trump killed Canada's conservative party in the elections, looks like.

Misinformation Monday: White House Edition

I am in the UK so not going to likely be able to stay up for the election results. I am so nervous and will likely have a terrible sleep ☹️

me, yesterday: i know nothing of canadian elections me, today: hm, looks like poilievre severely underperformed in his riding, cementing another liberal party win, its like the old days of trudeau the elder again, eh?

Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.) says a mom in her Tampa district was “ripped away” from her infant by ICE agents and unlawfully deported to Cuba. She says the baby was still breastfeeding, and their separation was so traumatic that the baby was taken to the hospital. www.huffpost.com/entry/kathy-...

Yes. "It is....antisemitic for politicians to use antisemitism as an all-purpose excuse for enacting authoritarian policies like demanding control of university curricula and suppressing protest."

The glorious and perfect @petridishes.bsky.social just won The Thurber Prize For American Humor, YES and OF COURSE and VIVA PETRI 💃🏻 💃🏻💃🏻🍸🪩

"I got kicked out of a local rabbit-themed group chat" is the funniest possible consequence

Trump is an adjudicated rapist and is kidnapping American citizens off the street and sending them to a foreign country to be tortured.

President Trump has declared 8 national emergencies since the beginning of his second term. And we are only 100 days in — making this a record invocation of emergency power by any modern U.S. president.

Police State Characterized by repressive governmental control of political, economic, & social life usually w/an arbitrary exercise of power by police & esp. secret police in place of regular operation of administrative & judicial organs of the government according to publicly known legal procedure

They forgot about dumping the California summer irrigation water in winter? No other president would do that.

So this "independent voter" in this Fox News focus group that just so happens to agree with everything Trump is doing has been a mainstay on Fox News and right-wing media for years because her restaurant defied NYC's vaccine mandate during the pandemic. www.foxnews.com/video/628545...

Oh come on.

We kind of have a carney in charge here too.

Canada shows how democracies can regulate campaign finance for the common good.

everyone give it up for the billionaire politics knowers

Update.

After saving the liberal party in Canada maybe Trump can undo Brexit x.com/jmart/status...

Another insane story. The US has confiscated this family’s baby and put her into foster care, basically because the parents have tattoos — and deported the mom to Venezuela and trafficked the dad into prison in El Salvador. They have no known criminal record

There’s over your skis and then there’s tumbling down the mountain barefoot.

Congratulations to every cowardly law firm who bowed to the king and will now essentially be funding murders by police.

Congratulations, Canada

somehow propublica, a nonpartisan factual news outlet, does a better job of branding the gop's actions than the democrats have. and that's the job of the democratic party! www.propublica.org/article/how-...

Maxine Bernier lost his seat. Such a shame

That's me. Notorious Ayn Rand fan.

He’s one of the worst we’ve got, and yet among self-professed centrist just-asking-questions fuckers he barely rates 8 Friedersdorfs.

I always seem to be able to find the energy to be furious.

Congrats to my Canadian friends! 🇨🇦You understood the assignment better than we did…

I just don’t get the editorial thought process on those ubiquitous “Let’s round up some Trump supporters who live in a propaganda bubble of wrongness” features. Would the New York Times run factually incorrect quotes from anyone else completely unchallenged?

I am part of a small but vocal group of liberals who advance the cause of liberty by demanding that the Democrats fight for it. And it’s like Pritzker is reading all of us.

I hope my iPad is doing a good job raising my kid today.

One fun thing if Pritzker were the ‘28 nominee against, say, Vance would be to see right wing media proclaim rich white guy politicians are bad actually with no hesitation whatsoever.

The Eagles football organization are sell-out fucks who will never win another Super Bowl. Jalen Hurts, find a new squad.

watching Hacks and my big takeaway is HOW IS THAT WHAT CAROL BURNETT LOOKS LIKE IN HER 90s?!?!

Just to warn you: from now I will be in Carney’s ass so don’t expect this rah rah rah shit from me. I never do that

The most divorced man in human history.

because they do not care the mainstream media does not care about freedom of the press. they care about getting to the top of the cool kids club (maggie haberman, currently top alpha) and making a lot of money from book deals they can talk about when their pals interview them. they do not care.

What's your favorite song about sucking on chili dogs? Mine is "Jack and Diane."

In 100 days, Trump made good on cruel promises, ruining countless lives. It's made America worse. The time to take a stand is right now. My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

yay thanks!! So excited for Lawless!

The line between the military and civilian government is one of the most important safeguards that we have. Creating a military installation on the border? “It steps over that line,” @lizagoitein.bsky.social tells @maddow.msnbc.com www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has won the federal election, capping a stunning turnaround in fortunes fueled by Trump’s annexation threats and trade war.

is it bad that we're completely unraveling any and all pretense this sorry-ass country cares about the greater good

Just remembering when Trump delayed stimulus checks so he could put his name on them. Now suddenly he's shy about taking credit? taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox/did-a...

Trump's latest anti-immigrant stunt is simply disgusting www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
