You know what would have made this photo of improperly dressed Trump sleeping at the Pope’s funeral even better? Dark Brandon photo bombing him while wearing his signature dark sunglasses and huge smile
Photo of Trump wearing his signature cheap blue suit sitting on a red bench at the Pope’s funeral.  His eyes are closed as he appears to be sleeping with his mouth stuck open, lifeless, and somehow still managing to scare children.Photo shows Joe Biden wearing a nicely tailored dark suit and his signature “Dark Brandon” sunglasses walking hand-in-hand with Jill Biden, who is dressed in black and wearing a black lace veil. They are accompanied by a Vatican clergyman in black robes with red buttons and a wide pink sash as they are guided to their seats at the Pope’s funeral.

Just imagine…
A collage with two images and a block of text. The top left image shows Pete Buttigieg speaking at a podium. The top right image shows him playing a grand piano. 

The text reads: “Today, I saw a video clip of Pete Buttigieg playing classical piano. Another where he speaks in Spanish. And then there’s the one where he tells Parisians he shares their pain — IN FRENCH. It doesn’t have to be Buttigieg, but just imagine how nice it’d be to have a President whose intellect exceeds that of a root vegetable.” 

The bottom of the image credits “@ananavarro.”

If they’re going to start deporting homegrown criminals, do we at least get to vote on who goes first? #HomegrownCriminal
An image of Donald Trump wearing a light gray T-shirt with the words “home-grown criminal” printed on it.  Above the image is a caption that reads: “Calling others ‘homegrown criminals’ while dodging 91 felony charges is wild behavior.”

Fact
A meme featuring Jim Halpert (played by John Krasinski) from the TV show “The Office” presenting a message on a whiteboard in two panels. In the first panel, the board reads: “If they can suspend your rights because there is an emergency.” In the second panel, it continues: “they will continue to manufacture emergencies.” Jim is pointing to the board in the first panel and looking at the camera with a knowing expression in the second.

“The question is, are we going to show who we are? Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this or are we a nation that is going to stand up to this? As the great Frederick Douglas said, ‘The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the limits of the people that they seek to oppress’.“ - Cory Booker

David Pakman is reporting that the Trump admin has asked Amazon to remove books by left-leaning authors from their online library or risk losing their government contracts. Their legal team is reportedly looking into the request. If they cave, online podcasts can expect to be the next target.

Brutal…and brilliant 😂
A social media post by Adam Mockler features a comment exchange. The first comment by user @Yoshinomic-hm8hf reads, “How many years of Trump hate do you have under your belt? I know a good shrink.” Adam Mockler responds, “How many years of your grandma’s savings did Trump just wipe out? I know a good bankruptcy lawyer.” The post is captioned “Brutal. But necessary.”

All those MAGA #Tesla investors, who spent the better part of a week propping up the stock after Musk cried like a baby when it became apparent that the #TeslaTakedown efforts were WORKING, have LOST all that money they put in…and then some. 🫠
A stock chart for Tesla Inc. over a one-year period shows the current stock price at $216.17, down $23.26 or 9.71%. The chart displays a peak above $450 around late 2024, followed by a steady decline into early 2025, with recent fluctuations near the $240 level.

#PoliticalCartoon by Adam Zyglis
A political cartoon by Adam Zyglis depicts four symbolic figures—Uncle Sam, Lady Justice, and the Statue of Liberty—hanging from chains on a wall, looking distressed. Next to them, a man wearing a red “MAGA” hat is also chained but appears optimistic, despite having a bleeding, amputated leg. He is saying, “This is just ‘short term pain for long term gain.’” The cartoon critiques political ideology, possibly referencing the consequences of certain political movements or decisions.

A protester holds up a handmade sign made of cardboard with the message written in bold, uneven lettering: “THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE IS STRONGER THAN THE PEOPLE IN POWER.” The word “STRONGER” is highlighted in blue. The background shows a crowd of protesters, some holding signs, with a sense of movement and activism in the scene.

I feel like not enough Americans know we’re living through the darkest period in American history since the Civil War and the main reasons for that is our corporate media decided nine years ago to prioritize clicks and views over their unique responsibility in a democratic society.

A political cartoon by Nick Anderson depicts a burning, heavily damaged car labeled “TESLA’S REPUTATION.” The car resembles Tesla’s Cybertruck, with a broken-down, battered appearance. Elon Musk, wearing a shirt labeled “MUSK,” is seen holding a sledgehammer over his head, appearing to have contributed to the destruction. A police officer stands nearby, stating, “WE FOUND THE VANDAL.” The cartoon satirically suggests that Musk himself is responsible for damaging Tesla’s reputation.

Elon Musk as the modern day Marie Antoinette #TeslaTakedown
An image features Elon Musk’s face superimposed onto a portrait of a historical European aristocratic woman wearing an opulent gown with red sleeves, gold embroidery, and a corset-style bodice. The background is a classical painting-style setting with floral decorations and ornate details. 

The meme text reads, “LET THEM BUY TESLAS” IS THE NEW “LET THEM EAT CAKE.” 

The image satirizes wealth disparity and suggests a comparison between Musk and Marie Antoinette, who is associated with the quote about cake, implying a detachment from the struggles of ordinary people.
