Trump is to accountability what Orson Welles was to Pole vaulting

You won’t get back the hours of your life spent watching folks on TV talk about Trump’s trials and how he was finally gonna be held accountable. Or how DOJ was gonna save the day. Trump was NEVER gonna be held accountable. The system was designed to help men like him go free.

Garcia: It’s really shocking for him to essentially lean into this possibility of a pardon. And we know why that’s the case, right? He wants to control what she says. He wants her—someone who has a ton of information on what actually happened—to perhaps… omit memories she might have of the president

There’s a way I despise that we have to say “it will hurt you in the long run” to make people give a care. Hello? Just care even if it has nothing to do with you.

If anyone in Portland sees this.. you guys need to come up with Jesus costumes, dress up as the Pope, Buddha, the Virgin Mary, and Santa Claus!! Let the world see ICE standing against those figures and that should put it into perspective for those bigots on the right!

OBAMA: “Better’s good… we’re not gonna get to perfect. Do I think single-payer with no profit motive would’ve been smarter? Absolutely.”

President Obama tells Maron the ACA was a compromise because he didn’t have the votes for what he really wanted. #MedicareForAll

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

You know they’re worried about this weekend’s turnout at the No Kings rally when they’re already making comments about it. Who’s ready for Saturday?

California is proud to congratulate FIVE California university-affiliated scholars among this year's Nobel laureates.

From quantum computing to clean energy and medical breakthroughs, these trailblazers reflect the strength, innovation, and creativity that define our state.

We already found the line - he briefly wanted to raise taxes on millionaires and they told him absolutely fucking not.

Everything else appears to be fair game.

To be completely fair to him, he’s drunk - hard to be a good leader when you’re sloshed.

It’s even harder to be a good leader when you have absolutely no leadership qualities to speak of… so he’s double fucked.

And yes, nobody should sign that.

It’s fantastic news that all remaining hostages have been returned.

I’m not ready to spike the football and declare victory on peace yet, though. These things can - and often do - go completely sideways.

I’m sure the people who were *pissed* that Hunter Biden sold paintings are equally furious about Barron Trump reportedly being tapped for the TikTok board.

Right?
