Over 50% of American adults can't read above a 6th grade reading level, and this is an absolutely catastrophic civil rights crisis with implications for every facet of individual and collective life, including processing political statements by politicians, doctors, and so on

NEW: Peter Thiel calls Pope Leo XIV the “woke American pope.” He’s worried about Pope Leo working with a “woke American president like AOC” to create a Marxist “Caesar-Papist fusion.”

Ball room is a bipartisan preoccupation, as we know from recordings of LBJ's calls to his tailor

UPDATE: LMAOOOOOOOO

Begging everyone to google “Reichstag fire” tonight

So much for boring ol' D.C. United. More drama, more chaos, first DCU goals for Munteanu and Rowles, and a 3-2 win over Orlando City. Your Green Line Soccer gamer is live:

Begging everyone to google “Reichstag fire” tonight

So I gotta go again? 😂

Sign on 16th street median: “Gurl, just impeach him. You’ll feel better.”

Going to see DC United tonight, God help me 😂

This picture is more American than anything Norman Rockwell could have ever dreamed up

The first photo here is fake. A still from the same moment shows that Trump's head wasn't drooping like that. Also, he'd just adjusted his tie, which is why the guy two to the left of RFK is looking at him. Actual still at right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ctx...

Dear Pope Leo, please join me and my army of sweaty otherwise-unemployables as we do racist state violence. This will change your mind.

President urges Iran to start peace negotiations by releasing non-existent, AI-generated women some rando posted about on X

If @jaketapper.bsky.social had not taken that vow of silence and retreated into the woods, he would be so concerned about the fact that the President's brain does not work.

Can anyone please recommend a nice restaurant in San Juan Puerto Rico for a 20th anniversary dinner next month? Must have vegetarian options!

A bit of wacky weather earlier today! A little — but over-performing — impulse in the atmosphere produced snow out west in Garrett and Allegany counties; unexpected showers in the DC area with reports of graupel and hail; and a waterspout near Ocean City, Md! (captured by @LiamDawkins29 on X)

For everyone laughing about how discovery will be "fun" should understand: 1) this suit will likely never make it that far; 2) when it's dismissed, The Atlantic will still be out hundreds of thousands of dollars; 3) like being charged by the FBI, you can beat the rap but you can't beat the ride.

This is both (1) some of the most important SCOTUS reporting ever, and (2) far too generous to the Republican justices in framing of many pieces and omissions of Trump-era developments

Chief Justice John Roberts should be impeached and removed from the Supreme Court.

Not many people know this, but the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is responsible for making sure the coal industry is never inconvenienced. Pretty sure it's part of the oath he swore.

Unbelievable corruption right in front of our faces.

Twenty-nine people have died in ICE custody since October, the start of the federal government's fiscal year, already surpassing 2004's toll of 28, the previous record, according to government data. n.pr/4sLetjV

Bro pupusas are so expensive now damn inflation.

Exactly one year ago today:

Finally saw one battle after another- I just don’t understand how it was better regarded than Sinners.

Genuinely funny that Sonia Sotomayor issued a public apology today for her mild criticism of a conservative colleague on a specific, substantive issue, and then a few hours later Clarence Thomas picked up a mic and was like ALL LIBERALS ARE AMERICA-HATING COWARDS

BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology. This is a serious escalation.

It's the 7th month of the US bombing random ships in Latin American waters they claim are drug smugglers (reminder that two survivors who were rescued were repatriated, not charged), and the death toll is 150+, and it barely gets discussed.

I can't reply to this thread so quoting it; I can't read this language and thus have to rely on the Google translate of it, it seems he used لوئی instead of لئو but in reality i think they probably originally got the persian word for "lion" and had to fix it
