Trump has to be the most thin skinned person in modern history. The Dems should mount an all out offensive calling him pathetic and weird and a bad writer. He would completely spiral into dust.
Per @garretthaake.bsky.social, the extremely tacky "presidential wall of fame" that lines the colonnade to the West Wing now has obviously-Trump-penned plaques insulting or praising the presidents.

This is my cyclical reminder that there's really only one consistently reliable source of info in the public record that isn't owned by right wing billionaires, who really want to put an end to it.

Please give at least the $2.75 minimum they request if you can.

House Democrats have introduced War Powers Resolutions to block further military assaults on Venezuela. We’re expecting a House vote this week, so call your representative ASAP and demand that they vote YES to check the regime’s lawless violence: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

When I open a can of cat food, my cat wants to smell it. If I don't let him smell it, he'll be a pain while I'm trying to feed him. If I let him smell it, he waits patiently.

So now I crack open a can and hold it out for him to smell like I'm serving a bottle of wine in a fancy restaurant.

Remember when conservatives willingly went on The Colbert Report, assuming that Colbert was really sympathetic to them? I think that's how these people approached Vanity Fair...😆 Christopher Anderson deserves a Pulitzer 😉

1. All of these assholes desperately want film careers. They are all failed actors who desperately crave fame and celebrity worship.

2. Imagine if Michelle Obama had done this while serving as (an actual) First Lady. Imagine the rightwing meltdown.

The Pulitzer Board is actually fighting back against one of Trump’s vexatious lawsuits, saying, ‘If you were harmed, prove it — with medical and financial records.’

Not rolling over like some of the capitulating companies we’ve seen.

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.

I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.
We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

Every major news organization should be writing about how insane this is and how, if he takes this country to war (tomorrow?), it is the act of a madman.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

A quite startling overperformance for Democrats in tonight's special election for a state Senate seat in Kentucky:

Democrat Gary Clemons won 72% to 25%.

He was defending a Dem-held seat where Kamala Harris beat Trump by 5% last year.
