Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
Why will Trump & Republicans get their asses handed to them in November? This. This right here is why Trump & Republicans will get their asses handed to them in November.👇
Of course, said anyone with even the slightest bit of common sense: A year in, it’s official: Americans, not foreigners, are paying for Trump’s tariffs….

McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man?
LYONS: Yes mam
McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?
LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question
McIVER: Do you think you're going to hell, Mr Lyons?
Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.
You suckers
These are government employees. So our tax dollars are funding ICE to flash white supremacist cards at vulnerable POC as an intimidation tactic. Who is giving this direction?
There’s something deeply sinister happening in this country right now, and I don’t think we can take three more years.

Last year, ICE did not have six in-custody deaths until April 25. The early trends put ICE on pace for 120 in-custody deaths in 2026.

rhondawill8 1h Wha the actual f-k? You know what's keeping ME up at night?!?! The fact that a woman was shot in her car by ICE the same day there was a mass shooting in Utah and my own senator commented only denouncing the gun violence at a place of worship. Get out of the senate or star listening to us. This folksy high/low you've been doing has always been hard to take but this week is an absolute low for our country, for our state and for you. So super sorry that you're losing sleep because of a smoke detector. Reply sisi_speaks_out 1h My low of the week is how you continue to roll over and play dead in the face of Trump's seizure of congressional powers. Reply johnny_runner_27m Really that's you're low, with all the $&@/ going on in our country and government that's what you highlight as a low. Welcome to not being able to sleep. Are you so out of touch, this is embarrassing for you. Reply juliekedd 1h It's probably your conscience calling. It's telling you that your low should be that an innocent American mom from Minneapolis had their government kill them. Reply heidipom 23m What an absolute failure of an elected official. Why do you think we want happy little social media when
John Curtis posted his weekly “high and low” an hour ago. His low is the chirp from his vacationing neighbor’s smoke alarm is keeping him awake at night. His tone-deafness is being eviscerated in his comment section.

"Constitutional conservative"
Your interlocutor is fully immersed in the myth of the "normie Republican." Indeed, "normies" like Cox do just as much damage (likely more) as do mouth foamers like Lee for the very reason that their support of Trump lends a veneer of respectability to depravity.

So police impersonation was the business brand.
It'll be a painful irony if the Trump tariffs are ultimately ruled unconstitutional, but in the months it takes the courts to rule, they tip the economy into a recession.
Here’s part 2 of this week’s Better Offline. I walk you through how Business Idiots demanded we all return to the office to hide their own lack of utility - and how this directly led to their desperation to adopt generative AI.

"Utah will not tolerate violence." Sure, that's why Spencer and the entire Utah Congressional Delegation spoke out against the Trump J6 pardons. Oh wait, they didn't. Yeah, what he really means is he will tolerate any violence that is taken on behalf of his new bestie.

LUTNICK: About a hundred years ago
DEAN: It was during the Great Depression. That's a direction none of us wants to go.

Credit where it’s due: Scott Galloway cooked here
Exactly the right response and shows significantly more courage than those who capitulated to Trump’s false claims of unrestrained authority
This is just absolutely perfect. Kennedy destroys Lutnick and vividly illustrates the absurdity of the Trump trade policy. bsky.app/profile/atru...
