Iran has officially pulled out of the World Cup, stating that conditions in the US are not safe for players or fans. More countries must follow suit. The US will only respond to public pressure and financial retaliation. Boycott the World Cup. Boycott the Olympics. Boycott America.

"The American people can accept honest mistakes. They can accept fog-of-war judgment calls. What we as a nation should not accept is moral drift at the top of the chain of command."

While we’re worried about the war, the Epstein files, drone attacks in CA… Josh Hawley and Republicans are taking this moment to push legislation to strip FDA approval for Mifepristone The assaults on Americans are coming from inside the house.

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them. It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

Iftar, Day 22

“Typically, people familiar with [DHS] say, a candidate that green wouldn’t have gotten an interview for a junior position, much less be hired to run operations. According to LinkedIn..Fugate’s leadership experience comes from having served as secretary general of a Model United Nations club”

Lawmakers in Washington State have agreed to tax people who earn over $1 million in the state’s first income tax.

Do not let Trump or Hegseth use the convenient excuse of "outdated data" so easily. A man who will rape children in his own country will not bat an eyelash to murder them in another. Investigate this incident to the ends of the earth.

Bluesky hits Capitol Hill (and Jimmy Kimmel)

If we had transitioned to renewable energy in the 80s none of this would be happening.

Trump 'has lost touch with reality' claiming lower prices as gas prices soar, @ossoff.bsky.social says youtu.be/AVqMyN5EOBQ?...

⚡️Russia earns additional 6 billion euros in fossil fuel revenue as oil prices soar amid US-Iran war, analysis finds.

Bombing Nigeria was cost-free. Picking up Maduro was a cake walk. So, Trump probably thought the same about his short, little "excursion" in Iran. So far, not working out that way.

The Orange Turd's narrative and timeline about the #EpsteinFiles

A man who was shot by Connecticut police last year and later died had to wait 10 extra minutes for another ambulance to arrive at the scene, after another officer having an anxiety attack took the first one.

but feeding children and poor people doesn't make donOLD and his con gang richer...

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social: Trump’s lie about Iran school bombing disgraces the American presidency www.ms.now/the-last-wor...

" It's obvious that their social relationship was deep and that's a bad look." "He has very little empathy, but one of the groups he has empathy for is men who are accused of sexually harassing people." Tim Miller and Saagar Enjeti on Trump's Epstein coverup.

If you lost your job because of DOGE, this will enrage you. They built a whole-ass crusade around “DEI,” then sent a staffer into a deposition who couldn’t even define it. Justin Fox’s and his assignment was to help flag grants for elimination based on a term he struggled to explain under oath. 🥴

Meanwhile, in Vermont… People are getting gassed for protesting ICE. Yep, that’s still going on. America sure is great, isn’t it? #Vermont #ICE #SouthBurlington

75K FOLLOWERS! 🍾🥂🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳 Thank you, everyone!

That's one way for the White House to tell the troops it doesn’t really think of them as individual people.

Deposition of Epstein’s accountant Richard Kahn. Names 5 rich powerful men who paid for Epstein’s enterprise. This is beyond disturbing that these men would finance abusing girls and get away with it. Their moral depravity is outrageous.

The United States needs some therapy…it’s called IMPEACHMENT!!!

Brilliant. Crucial. Brave. ICYMI

Just 2 years after voters approved Prop 1, CA has exceeded our goal of 6.8K new behavioral health treatment beds. In 1957, CA had 37K psychiatric beds with half of today’s population. @governor.ca.gov is closing the gap, meeting the crisis, and moving people from streets to treatment.

Donald Trump, who routinely can’t read his own made up word “mutilization” off his script or teleprompter, says that Gavin Newsom can’t read. Gavin is dyslexic by the way. Donald is just an illiterate asshole.

No shit.

A National Parks Service employee climbed El Capitan on her personal time and hung a large transgender flag to protest. She was immediately fired, and then Trump wrote an EO that bans all flags in national parks. A judge is pissed, but referring the case to EDOC. www.rawstory.com/trump-protes...

Journalists are getting better at asking an aging Trump hard-hitting questions, and he's starting to get truly ticked off. Trump snapped at PBS News Hour reporter Liz Landers today after she dared to push back against his false claims about the 2020 election, calling her "a rotten reporter.”

The president is unwell. In so many ways.

WATCH: “Now do white people.” Lamberth lashes out at @votegloriaj.bsky.social and calls her “racist” 🤔for pointing out 98% of Tennessee crimes were NOT committed by undocumented immigrants — as he tries to pretend their Stephen Miller slate of hate isn’t aimed at brown people.

"Trump gets donations, you get massive Ticketmaster surcharges — service fees, platinum fees, per-order fees, payment processing fees, facility fees, magical money-sh*tting unicorn fees — on top of already sky-high ticket prices." — @lizdye.bsky.social

A new gigantic Trump-Epstein statue is now in D.C. Well done, humans!

📽️ NEW: Trump is threatening to bypass Congress entirely to impose voter ID before the 2026 midterms. Marc Elias breaks down Trump's late-night social media rants, what’s driving this voter suppression push and why he's living in a constitutional delusion👇

A federal tool to identify noncitizens on voter rolls keeps making mistakes. “This is not ready for prime time,” a county clerk in Missouri said. “And I’m not going to risk the security and the constitutional rights of my voters for bad data.” With @texastribune.org

A statue depicting Trump and Jeffrey Epstein embracing in a “Titanic” pose similar to Jack and Rose appeared on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., this week. The 12-foot statue was unveiled by The Secret Handshake group, a group of citizens using art and humor to prompt political discourse.

Homeownership is the cornerstone of the American Dream, but high entry costs have locked too many working families out of the market. Today, I'm launching a down payment assistance program for first-time homebuyers to tear down those financial barriers.

MORE. OF. THIS. PLEASE. If you are a reporter and not following up on questions this aggressively....quit...and go knit a pair of socks, play in the sand. Anything but pretend you are a reporter.

DISTRACTIONS DON’T WORK. COVERUPS WON’T WORK. NOT EVEN WAR. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Trump ended the IRS Direct File program that allowed millions of taxpayers to file taxes for free. That happened after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government to block the IRS from launching its own program. Intuit also donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

Fascism never stops on its own. It must be defeated.

(Reuters) - U.S. intelligence indicates that Iran's leadership is still largely intact and is not at risk of collapse any time soon after nearly two weeks of relentless U.S. and Israeli bombardment, according to three sources familiar with the matter. uk.news.yahoo.com/exclusive-us...

INGRAHAM: Sorry to interrupt. But what now? They're launching projectiles still at ships. If you have crews on these ships afraid for their lives, how do you break the logjam? WRIGHT: The most important thing right now is US military degrading their ability to project power. It'll take some time
