I have to confess that I feel the same way. Any time I see some political pundit act as if there is any method to Trump's madness beyond simple narcissism, I want to break the TV.

I don't understand how anyone can read one of his Truth Social posts or listen to him give a press conference and say to themselves, "Yep, that's my guy!" Ugh.

I'm not asking for a revolution. And I agree that our systems need reform. But my god, the man still has a 40% approval rating! We should be ashamed of ourselves. It's mortifying.

Trumpism is like climate change: it's already here, it has done irreparable damage, and even if we take action now we'll be dealing with it's impact for the rest of our lives.

Every time I read one of his posts, I think about a school child in the distant future reading them in a textbook or on a museum wall. I'm glad that Trump tells us every day who he is. I don't think it will be the Democrats that history will judge.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

I keep wondering why no one is doing more to stop him (or them, since he's not doing this alone) and have come to the conclusion that it's because we don't have a strong opposition leader, someone who can organize us and lead the way.

Leadership would focus on what they agree on given our shared goals. A real leader would not focus on gotcha phraseology. This is a bullshit scaremongering and shows a profound misunderstanding of where a major part of the Dem base is today.

I'm not convinced. I think that they recognized that the measles outbreak is a gift to Democratic candidates, and they simply didn't want to give them the ammunition.

The Trump administration has authorized the construction of a data center on public land, scrapping a previously-approved solar energy project. The data center will consume more energy than the entire neighboring community and was approved without public input.

Last year, Vance Boelter shot and killed a Democratic state rep and her husband. He was sentenced this week to consecutive life sentences. Maybe now’s a good time for some accountability for the Republicans who peddled disgusting conspiracy theories about the slayings?

This free documentary is a MUST SEE. Shuffling people around the US, away from their attorneys and family, away from their Habeas Corpus filings, on a merry-go-round of extremely expensive tax-payer funded charter flights, is a key part of the ICE death machine and hardly anyone is talking about it.

If you have *real* evidence of election fraud, you file a lawsuit. But if you are a pathetic sore loser who wants desperately to believe any fiction that excuses your actual loss, you go on TV where, unlike in court, you won’t be held accountable for your brazen and ridiculous lies.

Every ballot leaves a paper trail. Every count gets audited. Every result gets certified by officials from both parties. That’s not a broken system — that’s a system built to be checked. Trust the process, not the primetime speech. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
