"“From the day I take the oath of office, we’ll rapidly drive prices down and make America affordable again,” Donald Trump promised"
"Ten months after Mr. Trump took office, prices are still climbing. Groceries are more expensive. Electricity bills have spiked. It costs more to buy a new car."

I love #Doonesbury with the heat of 1000000 white hot suns. “Democrat” party? No. “Democrat” is a noun. “Democratic” is an adjective.
Here’s a link about that: https://mastodon.social/@GottaLaff/113085164936664065

Good 🧵from @emptywheel: 1/..
I'm trying to decide whether it's fair to use the term "dick-wag" w/VP #Harris.
Headlines, "Harris accepts CNN debate invite" are as wildly inaccurate as headlines, "#Trump accepts Fox News invite," were.
Accurate headline would be: "Harris goads Trump to do CNN debate."
🤨Via Rupar:
#Trump says he's talking to #Netanyahu nearly every day and adds, "fortunately they didn't listen to Biden."
👍🏼💪🏼
Via Mia Tretta:
This will be my first time voting in a presidential election! I was shot at school during the #Trump administration, and let me tell you, I’m so excited to vote against him!#Vote #GunViolencePrevention #HonorWithAction #GVP
When you just try to get justice but a dictator keeps getting in your way:
The headline: “Republicans’ Electoral College Edge, Once Seen as Ironclad, Looks to Be Fading”
There’s a whole Nate Cohn piece in the NYT about this, but here’s the gist via Dave Wasserman:
I’d estimate #Harris might need to win the popular vote by 1.5 to 3 points to prevail in the Electoral College, a bit down from the 3.8 point pro-#Trump skew in 2020.
MY gist? VOTE YOUR ASSES OFF NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY.
Who’d he swear at on the phone?
👎🏻“House Budget Committee passed a massive tax and immigration package central to #Trump ’s agenda late Sunday, overcoming opposition from hard-line conservatives over spending.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/05/18/house-budget-vote-reconciliation-bill/
“Top election officials in major swing states say they are prepared to take local governments to court if they refuse to certify the 2024 presidential election, a move that could impede an effort to overturn the election if #Trump loses.
Officials from Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin made the comments…”

Despicable doesn’t even begin to describe him. We better win in Nov. folks.

The day after #Trump spread anti-immigrant lies at the debate, the leader of the neo-Nazi group Blood Tribe took to his Telegram channel to take credit for 'pushing Springfield into the public consciousness.'
Another member of the hate group agreed: "This is what real power looks like." https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/trump-neo-nazis-pushed-false-claims-haitians-part-hate-campaign-rcna170796
Taking @StitchyMc’s words to heart that #Trump’s sensationalist #racist pet-eating #lies are designed to distract us in our outrage from what matters, so I’m turning back to his (make no mistake — it is his) #authoritarian handbook:
I read the full 900-pg #Project2025 manifesto – here’s why it matters

Donald #Trump is preparing to attack the voting rights of members of the US Military and other US citizens who are living abroad.
As the #AntiAbortion movement grows increasingly frustrated w/ #Trump, they are turning to his No. 2, Sen #JDVance, for help.
Trump’s criticism of 6-week #AbortionBans, his support for #IVF (w/a #weird promise to make IVF coverage free), & his public stance that #abortion is now a settled issue left to the states have made some anti-abortion advocates urge their followers not to vote for the #GOP ticket.

Watching the screw-ups in the Comey prosecution right now I'm just thinking #TACO , #Trump Always Chickens Out, should be joined by #TOFU , Trump Only Fs Up.
Because seriously... OK his supporters claim that he's not chickening out, that was the plan all along, but there's really no way to get around the F ups.
And this is a historically giant screw up.
Lol, Mitch dumps water all over Trump's tariff BS:
Via Igor Bobic:
Whoa: McConnell answered a #Trump question today, on his tariff proposals
“I'm not a fan of #tariffs. They raise the prices for American consumers. I'm more of a free trade kind of Republican that remembers how many jobs were created by the export that we engage in,” he said
“The man who authorities say sat with a rifle in the trees where Donald #Trump was golfing earlier this month in West Palm Beach, Florida, previously wrote a letter stating “this was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump,” according to a new filing by federal prosecutors.”
“#Trump has been found liable to pay damages to London singer and songwriter Eddy Grant for using his song Electric Avenue without permission.
It has taken Mr Grant, 76, more than four years to sue the Republican candidate in this year’s presidential election in the US courts, over his 2020 campaign video that used a 40-second clip of the song.”

“#Trump’s campaign on Sunday said the GOP presidential candidate is “safe” after “gunshots in his vicinity.”
No further details at this time,” Trump communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement.
The statement did not provide any further information.

The suspect in the apparent assassination attempt of #Trump is Ryan Routh, 58, federal officials said - Bloomberg
First Trump assassin: Bullied, seemingly apolitical Republican kid looking to go out with a bang.
Second Trump assassin: Ramaswamy/ Haley supporter, Trump-Biden “double hater” and possible Never Trump Republican whose motive is yet unknown.
"Trump Immediately Tried To Fundraise Off Of Possible 2nd Assassination Attempt"
"After shots were fired in his vicinity, Donald Trump sent out a fundraising email looking for cash."
