Again: don’t get complacent. Polls look great, but polls don’t vote. Ignore this shit and vote like we’re down by 3%

John Oliver is right: One huge company shouldn’t own your doctor, your insurer, and your pharmacy – AND get to squeeze every penny out of you at each step.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

How can they justify leaving right now? Diesel costs just hit an all-time high. Our nation is at war. The bond market is quivering. The urgency of AI regulation has come to a critical moment. Congress should be working overtime. Instead Speaker Johnson sent them home. All to dodge one uncomfortable vote - much like his maneuvers last year to hold off the Epstein files. You don't have to be a Democrat to find that disgraceful. In less than seven weeks, Americans can change all this. 48 days to go.

Just because technology is everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way. This week, we announced a moratorium on all generative AI for public school students in 2K through 8th grade. Because New Yorkers deserve to know that their kids will receive a high-quality education. They deserve to know that their children’s data won’t be mined by Big Tech. And they deserve to know that their children’s growth won’t be compromised for a corporation’s bottom line.

Le nom du lac Ontario tire son origine du mot wendat « Ontari’io », qui signifie « le lac est beau, le lac est grand ». Ce nom remonte à plus de 400 ans, bien avant la Confédération canadienne et la Déclaration d’indépendance des États-Unis d’Amérique. Nous savons que les États-Unis sont en train de changer. Leurs relations commerciales, leur politique étrangère, leurs monuments nationaux, leurs hydronymes. Les Canadiennes et les Canadiens savent aussi qu’il faut appeler les choses par leur nom, et ce lac se nomme Lac Ontario – aujourd’hui et pour toujours.

Trump just called the Supreme Court’s mail-voting decision “a great ruling for the Republican Party.” He didn’t say it was great for voters or election security. He said it was great for his party. If your party’s big election win is making it harder for people to vote by mail, maybe the problem isn’t mail-in voting. Maybe it’s your party.

Does anyone actually think this childish shit makes America look strong?
President Trump renewed his threat to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America” in a clip posted to his TikTok on Wednesday.

The comments come as trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada have intensified in recent days, adding to a series of disputes between the historically allied neighbors.

Hunter Biden sold one painting for $85K, and 27 paintings for a total of $1.5M, and trumpers lost their goddamn minds over it. Barron trump, meanwhile, made $150,000,000 on a stake of his dad's unethical crypto coin, and not a peep from these same hypocrites. Barron should be on the front line of his dad's illegal war of choice, from which he is ALSO grifting money.

“The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects.” - David McCraw, NYT top newsroom lawyer, in a statement on Friday evening.

The National Guard, along with local police, have been dispatched to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to guard the algae. As you can see at the end of this clip, the algae is safe. Well done.

On the world stage, lying about America, badmouthing America. Talking shit about America. Trashing our democracy. He is a traitor to this country. He should be in jail.

Can you guys believe this crap?! Earlier in the Oval Office, Trump was asked about inflation hitting its highest level in three years. His response: “I love it.” 2028 can’t get here fast enough. #INFLATION

HOLY CRAP! Alex Jones and Marjorie Taylor Greene just warned America about Trump trying to stay in power after his term expires. "That type of behavior is someone planning an idea over and over and over again. He constantly says it so that he can normalize the idea and test the support and test people's reactions, but saying it over and over and over again normalizes the idea. And I think it's incredibly dangerous and no one should ever accept it. Absolutely, absolutely not. There cannot be a third term. No, that's against our laws." Wake up America. When even these two are warning us about Trump you know it's getting serious.
