@CGasparino I haven’t listened to Trump in a while. That interview/soliloquy was terrifying. Not only has he lost touch with reality, but he has invented his own which he clearly seems to believe. If we can make it five more months to the election with this madman, we will be lucky.

Ok I hate the “stolen election” stuff from the president BUT why keep asking him? It’s not exactly news that he thinks it’s stolen. The question seems performative, merely to elicit the reaction he delivered

@madrid_mike @pshene1 Quintessential move of a loser. He is a tired, bitter, angry old man most decent people hate.

The schtick is old. He’s a feeble unhealthy old man and the country is over it. He can barely stand up without help.

@kenklippenstein @JayLanglois3 Brooks has always been a self-important, self-righteous moral authority.

David Brooks calls Graham Platner a “moral degenerate." Brooks left his wife of 28 years after having an affair with his research assistant, who is 23 years his junior.

@sahouraxo Israel is desperate for the war with Iran to continue. Bibi needs it to stay out of prison, meanwhile Trump is looking for any exit from the dumbest war the US has ever been suckered into.

BREAKING: Iran is striking Israel after Israel attacked civilian areas in Beirut, Lebanon’s capital, earlier today. Not out of nowhere. Not without warning. Iran warned that an attack on Beirut would trigger a response. Israel bombed Beirut anyway Now that response has begun

Grow the Hell up! I have a problem with any politician — any politician — that shows up, causes delays and interferes with these watch parties buzzing all over NYC. It’s not political. It’s about the @nyknicks and the vibe this city has going. Anyone who messes with that needs to not show up. It’s not about politics. Take that b.s. take somewhere else. Not today. Not now!

@stengel @JoyceCarolOates Trump’s bubble has become way too small and insular. He doesn’t even realize only a third of the country buys his psychopathic dishonesty anymore. He is also not the conman he once was and he knows it.

Brava to Kristen Welker for maintaining her cool and her reportorial backbone in an interview with a rude and bullying interview subject who could not marshall a single fact in response to a civil question.

A major new study finds that the No. 1 state in terms of its residents’ quality of life is Minnesota. Yes, just-a-bit-boring Minnesota. Freezing Minnesota. Calm, pragmatic, not-very-ideological Minnesota. nytimes.com/2026/06/06/opi… via @NYTOpinion

Watching a lifelong criminal conman with dementia try and make a case for compensating other violent criminals he directed, who he already pardoned, is going to make historians and other Americans gasp at how depraved and corrupt this era of American governance was. We are going to look so profoundly feckless, corrupt and propagandized they will be asking how we ever let it get this bad without stopping it.

Here's the full chain of events that led to Trump storming out of his interview with Kristin Welker, beginning with her pressing him on the weaponization fund, continuing with her pointing out the baselessness of his "rigged election" lies, and concluding with him calling her "crooked or stupid" and leaving

@maddenifico @justjoe62 Without racism, Trump would not be president.

For a president of the United States to nonstop shitpost this kind of ass-vomit and dumbfuckery, the degree of derangement, jealousy, and insecurity has to be off the charts.

@marlene4719 Which wife did he bring?

Nothing says grift more than America’s Warpig taking all six kids to France on the taxpayers dime

Staggering levels of corruption. They’re using every possible lever of power to enrich themselves and their friends and families. And the “party of fiscal responsibility” simply doesn’t care.

I’m Kid Rock.” “I’m Naomi Wolf.” “I’m Kanye West.” “I’m Matt Taibbi.” “I’m Catturd. Those stories, plus Rob Schneider, tonight on 60 Minutes.”

The Iran War Powers Resolution that I cosponsored (opposing the war) just passed the House of Representatives. The People’s House is sending a message: end this war.

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

Workers are now taking home the smallest percent of America's economic output since records began in 1947. At the same time corporate profits are now at the highest point since 1950.

@martinamcbride @flowabug People confuse opposing a fascist, openly corrupt and criminal government with opposing America. It is the opposite.

They’re just stealing our content and trying to sell it back to us.

@Nachointhabox If you honestly believe Trump is a criminal, pedophile and fascist, which many millions of people do, it is reasonable to say no to any involvement with him.

Boomer is an idiot racist I didn’t know that.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it. Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying. Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence." Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter." Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter. They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created. One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility." Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies. That's the metered intelligence business model. And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

The President’s Big Beautiful Bill, the Iran War, and Republican spending bills will create a $2 trillion budget DEFICIT in 2026. Financing just the new debt costs more than all federal road & bridge projects, and we will be making those new interest payments each year, forever.
