American Authoritarianism
Here’s a video in which U.S. senator Jeff Merkley argues that the United States isn’t “on the verge of” or “right around the corner from” authoritarianism; we’re right in the middle of it.

Every day, our nation’s face is pushed a little bit further into the toilet.

Depicting Lady Liberty
Gotta love the creativity, and certainly the sentiment, that is captured by the artist whose work we see here.
In reality, however, Lady Liberty should be depicted sitting with slumped shoulders, tears rolling down her cheeks.
There has never been a moment anything like the present in U.S. history. A sociopathic criminal in the White House, bolstered by traitors in both Congress and the Supreme Court.
Brian Cox, PhD
It’s always encouraging to see the emergence of another brilliant astrophysicist into our culture — not that his message here is particularly encouraging.
Trump and Illegal Aliens
As all literate Americans understand, a) illegal aliens are not eligible for welfare, and b) the vast majority of U.S. welfare dollars go to poor, uneducated white southerners who almost exclusively voted for Trump.
If it weren’t for those two facts, the author of the meme at left would have a good point.
This Is Funny, but it Cuts to the Bone
Fans of our top comedians will love this video, a fictional reenactment of George Washington addressing an open meeting of citizens in the newly formed United States, concerning potential frailties of the soon-to-be-ratified Constitution.
Marco Rubio Spreads Lies to the MAGA Crowd
If it weren’t for the existence of social democracies all over the world, the clown in this one-minute-long video might be somewhat credible.
Good thing for him that he’s talking to people most of whom couldn’t find Scandinavia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, the Netherlands, Iceland, etc. on a map.
Better yet, his followers don’t know that the people living in these countries are the happiest human beings on the planet.
Truth used to matter.
Trump Desperately Looking for — and Finding — More Things to Ruin
From the League of Conservationist Voters:The Trump administration is paying Duke Energy $129 million in taxpayer dollars to stop its North Carolina offshore wind farm. Trump has now paid over $2.5 billion to terminate offshore wind projects that would have provided affordable energy to millions. He’s enriching Big Oil at our expense.
If Trump can somehow survive the “blue wave” that we hope to see in the midterms and manages not to be removed from office, he’ll have another two plus years to destroy our health, sanity, education, environment, and the feeble wealth of the common person.
If You Want a Laugh Right Now
The pianist/vocalist in this short video captures what life in America is like in mid-2026.
Sound on, but not too loud.

How Trump Outwitted the Founding Fathers Will Be an Enduring Mystery
What Trump has done to this nation and how he accomplished it will be the subject of much discussion by historians for as long as human civilization exists on Earth.
Certainly, the Founding Fathers never imagined that Americans would elect such a manifestly terrible person, and that congress would be so feckless to keep him in power.
