KILMEADE: ”I think JD Vance is jealous. I think the president wants to use Zohran as a running mate.”

The thing that's always frustrated the right wing ideologues who've glommed onto Trump is that he doesn't have the attention span to actually be a committed ideological warrior. He can scream all the right culture war shit, but it's just WWE pugilistic showmanship. He basically has no belief system.

Maybe if there was an article from New Zealand, Danielle would pay attention? "The funding is therefore public, but the service is private. The IRIS report shows that when the two are combined, mortality indicators are generally worse." www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

President Trump has decided to renege on his 40% tariffs on Brazilian goods, ending a problem he created. The agricultural products tariffed—beef, fruit, coffee, and cocoa—were becoming increasingly expensive for Americans everywhere. trib.al/fHAAG4l

Ah, the problem is not that we fail to provide everyone with adequate housing or services for people with addiction, the *real problem* is that the rest of us are forced to see the results of these things, under the label "social decay". Got it.

“What’s disturbing about the scandal though, is how blatant it is. Political appointees are handing out hundreds of millions of dollars from a public slush fund to organizations that are either close to the government or that hire the right political insiders.” www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

A Fascist dictator dictates......

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... “I woke up this morning, I’m in bed, my wife comes out of the bathroom – she’s got her phone. She goes, ‘Um, Trump tweeted you should be fired again.’ I was like, ‘Oh,’ and then I went downstairs and made bagels for the kids. Trump is a snowflake.”

Political Cartoons are, as a rule, the lowest form of both art and discourse, but THIS ONE here (from 2009) is like a mid-90s Simpsons joke and has only gotten better with time.

Un-fucking-believable. The pedophile president has stolen the Resolute Desk from the White House and taken it to Mar-a-Lago. 😳👇

Asked how to lower health care costs, Vance bragged that Trump handed out Trump 2028 hats in the Oval Office. Families are drowning in medical bills and this clown show thinks merch is policy. No wonder they don’t have a healthcare plan. #TrumpCrushesYourDreams

Nothing shady about Mike Johnson's finances here. Look away and move along. /s

One of the themes of our new police state is the sheer lack of professionalism. They can't do the basics, and when challenged, double down. A dysfunctional organizational culture deeply suspicious of the society they are tasked with controlling. bsky.app/profile/radl...

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

It’s a known reason for insider jokes - often, WH statements on Russia or Ukraine are best read in Russian as translations aren’t good enough. They use also very common Russian phrases that make no sense in English.

Turnip's demands would suggest he believes Ukraine is the aggressor and should be penalized. It's like telling a bank that the robber should keep the money because their car broke down during the getaway.

“This summer, a consultant in Colorado contacted Koppes and other clerks in that state, in some cases saying he was associated with the White House and asking about accessing their voting machines.”

Lawlessness. Everywhere you look‼️ open.substack.com/pub/defiance...

CNN’s Abby Phillip shut down the MAGA commentator, accusing him of distorting a video released by Democrats reminding service members they must refuse unlawful commands.

Trump hides from cameras to sign 'transparency' bill in ironic coda to Epstein loss In a bipartisan rebuke, Congress has targeted Trump's key vulnerability, forcing the release of the Epstein files. @arimelber.bsky.social reports.

True story…

The part where they threatened to break a judge’s car windows should be a bigger story … they feel comfortable treating judges this way, which means they are being told that they can do literally anything to nearly everyone

Alaberta Smith is claiming: •Judges aren’t elected, so they don’t have legitimacy. •Courts “overstep” when they disagree with her. •The notwithstanding clause is her tool to override “incorrect” court decisions. •SHE gets to decide what is “correct,” not constitutional law. #cdnpoli

"At this point, let me remind you that the agency that Trump is politicizing has never been run by a Democrat...Nevertheless, Patel accused the FBI of being on the Democratic Party “payroll” in an anti-FBI documentary funded by Russia-linked firm for which Patel was paid $25,000."

Russia will come back in 8 years and take some more. That's what happened in the past. 2014 Russian invasion, 2022 Russian invasion so 2030 will be the next Russian invasion. The USA and Europe won't do anything because their signature on a treaty isn't as valuable as used toilet paper

Perfect. Russia aggressively invaded their sovereign neighbour. They should withdraw and reap no rewards. If anything they should be required to pay for the damage caused.

And now the horseshit about the industrial carbon price making food more expensive. Chatel says grocers were at committee yesterday, where they all said drought and currency changes were the biggest cost drivers. #QP

I recently had a conservative Christian man in New York of all places see my Star of David hanging out, ask why I haven’t accepted Jesus and then call me “brainwashed.” They’re getting bolder and it’s absolutely fucking surreal.

NEW: Colorado’s county election clerks (majority Republican) implore Gov Polis (D) not to release Tina Peters to the Trump administration. Their joint letter says it would be a slap in the face to clerks who endure threats due to Peters’ election rigging conspiracy theories.

DO IT!

Wait u don't mean to tell me prosecutors ever bring cases they know are bullshit based on bullshit testimony from cops they know are bullshitting???????

🔥🧊

This story is nuts. "ICE agents then surrounded the judge’s car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply."

Paul Krugman was right about this one, modern Republicans are deranged about Canada because it suggests a alternative politics where people and institutions are by default nice and decent open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.

Gaza and the occupied Palestinian Territories are no longer in the headlines. The same genocide is still happening. Don’t loose focus and think it’s over, because it isn’t. It has slowed down but it’s not over.

Not that he cares about facts, but 92% of Medicaid recipients are working or fall within an exempt category, and thanks to the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act (🤮), immigrants generally have to wait 5 years to enroll in Medicaid. RFK Jr. is making shit up.

The bill will eventually come due. There needs to be more long-term thinking in politics.

Past Regina city councils have repeatedly kept the mill rate artificially low, according to acting city manager Jim Nicol. That was politically advantageous but now the bill is coming due and council is weighing a 15.69 per cent mill rate increase www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I wonder if this qualifies as a hate crime? #cdnpoli

“THIS IS A SEWER… A SCAM… Congress has been enriching itself for too dadgum long.” We are highly critical of @RepTimBurchett but he & @repjayapal are right — Congress should be BANNED from trading stocks, as @unusualwhales calls out. Make your reps & senators back this.

The F-35 costs $36,000 an hour to fly. The Gripen is like $5,800 per hour. Hmm sounds like the Swedish 🇸🇪 Gripen is the best choice for a fighter aircraft for Canada 🇨🇦!

The only reason Trump got away with it with the Mueller Report is that the press rushed out to publish "Mueller finds no wrongdoing!" headlines. Will they do the same thing with Epstein? (Yes, they will.)
