Here's an idea: instead of quoting Trump's outlandish remarks, quote the RESPONSES from credible folks, like this response to remarks about a "water shortage" while fighting the California wildfires. From www.latimes.com/california/s... and @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Peter Gleick, a hydroclimatologist and senior fellow of the Oakland-based Pacific Institute, said Trump’s comments attempting to link California water policy with the water-supply problems facing firefighters in Southern California were “blatantly false, irresponsible and politically self-serving.”

“There is no water shortage in Southern California — the state’s reservoirs are all at, or above, levels normally expected for this time of year. The problem with water supply for the fires is entirely the result of the massive immediate demands for firefighting water, broken or damaged pipes and pumps, and homeowners leaving hoses and sprinklers running in hopes of saving property.”

🚨 All eyes are on NC right now. Jefferson Griffin is still trying to throw out your ballot and now we'll see if all 5 Republicans on the state Supreme Court will go along with his last ditch effort to name him the winner even though he lost 2 recounts that showed Justice Riggs beat him by 734 votes.

Big win! The Fish & Wildlife Service will expand Okefenokee Refuge by up to 22,000 acres, protecting it from a proposed titanium mine. Nearly 30,000 public comments showed how special Okefenokee is to people everywhere. Thank you to everyone who spoke up!

Stop calling them "health insurance corporations." Their business is Health Exploitation. Then they Limit their Liability. Their full accurate name is Health Exploitation Limited Liability Corporations. In 2025, call them what they are: HELL Corporations www.qasimrashid.com/p/americas-h...

Reminder—the sole reason student loans exist is because Reagan was a racist & misogynist who didn't want "undesirables" (women & minorities) to get higher education so he defunded public education & forced privatization—thus canceling student loans is an economic, racial, & gender justice necessity.

We now confront the unprecedented problem of an unelected South African half-trillionaire holding hostage an unstable and vengeful president with a thermonuclear arsenal and a barely Republican (221-214) Congress as the rough beast of tyranny slouches toward Bethlehem. What could possibly go wrong?

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

It seems obvious that Senate Democrats are publicly buddying up to Elon Musk in order to get under Trump’s skin, so Trump will get rid of Musk faster. Remember, strategy – not foot stomping – is how you win in politics.

Donald Trump and Republicans may try to ban funding to companies that perform trans health care. Some fear Democrats won't stop them.

THIS. How many people complaining about the pardon are the same people saying that Democrats need to be as nasty as Republicans? If you agree that Dems need to throw out the playbook they've been using for the last 50 years, then this might be the first step.

My only issue with Biden pardoning Hunter is if he stops there. Biden should commute the death penalty for the 40 Americans on federal death row, cancel all student debt via EO & force Trump to revive them, & protect abortion nationwide via EO. Get bold. Take action. Slow down MAGA fascism! Fight!

i am disgusted by corruption in itself, but also because, when it swamps a system, it repels any earnestness, idealism, kindness from that system. it becomes an oily quicksand no one can escape from and no one wants to enter. it is always worth reporting on corruption, always worth exposing it.

The war in Ukraine is already a world war, people seem to be in denial about this fact. The most important thing now is not negotiating peace with Russia but defeating them so there can be peace. The war will end when Russia stops its invasion, returns the territory, pows and children; goes home.
