An internal memo circulated at the Social Security Administration stated that the agency is considering adding another step to battle fraud…

Nope. Bullshit. None of this is about battling fraud, and anyway ,Social Security is about the cleanest, most fraud-free agency possible. Over 99% accuracy. The claims of rampant fraud are just more Republican lies.

25th Amendment, babe.

I’m not lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, or questioning, but I’ve been to Pride events in San Francisco, and a few other cities, because they’re fun and inspiring and subversive! Pre-corporate, Pride was about announcing yourself and being yourself, and I don’t know what the heck Comcast or Anheuser-Busch adds to that, beyond muddying the event by making it about cable TV or beer or something. My straight gut says, going without corporate sponsorships will make the parades and parties more fun.

Exactly and it’s astounding — no Dems have filed impeachment papers against Trump in 2025. Al Green has said he will, but he hasn’t yet, so the total is still zero. Infuriating.

The Democratic Party won’t allow any leftward motion. It’s always and only, stay in the center and reach out to the right and, whoops, we’ve gone a little further to the right. …

Trump & Musk can’t be adequately explained by stupidity. It’s malice.

It’s all good. I was just joshing ya. (: Solidarity.

That was my feeling. It’s not a PhD thesis on economic justice or revolution, it’s just something I’m hoping might make my Uncle Herb and nephew George say ‘Huh’.

Despite the rhetoric, the Trump administration has so far not openly defied a court order…

I guess nobody at AP reads the news.

Stop saying ‘detained’. The word is imprisoned.

That’s what she said.

It’s not a daily reminder unless you post it every day.

Please don’t post it every day.

Poor polling only matters if there’ll be elections.

This New York Times coverage is journalistic malpractice. Trump threatened to jail his political opponents, and it went unmentioned by the nation’s newspaper of record.

Here’s somewhat better coverage from Politico: https://archive.ph/vzzys

For prompt service, please take a number and wait in line.

Ugh. Yeah, it’s an annoyance. Here’s a great piece of politicking, a great moment, a great video, but like about 95% of homemade vids it’s marred by unnecessary and distracting effects.

At least it wasn’t introduced by some wacky influencer mugging for the camera.

25 Trump, then 25 Vance.

If political violence is out of the question, Americans would be British.

Books.

That certainly seems to be the plan.
