I’ve always been against public money for stadiums. Why don’t owners fund them like any other business?

BREAKING: More than 100 Venezuelans who were deported from the U.S. hours before the earthquakes are missing after their hotel collapsed.

That’s >1000x the amount of money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal, which saw a cabinet member jailed, resulted in new financial disclosure laws, is considered the worst scandal in American history aside from Watergate, and is still taught in schools 100 years later. ONE THOUSAND TIMES

As with some other things, i suspect if we have another dem president we will discover that the court did not so much transfer power to the executive as to themselves, ie they will find novel bullshit reasons to block a dem president the same way the find novel bullshit reasons to enable trump

I will once again remind folks that a very sizable chunk of what looks like Congress not doing anything to push back against the president is in fact a consequence of the Court disabling/destroying all the ways Congress has tried to push back.

Big surprise. SCOTUS says Trump can fire anyone from independent agencies, except the Fed. For some reason, ungrounded in the Constitution, the federal reserve is unique. (The reason is that the Justices have financial investments and value them.) Couldn't be more nakedly political.

Humphrey's Executor is dead and the president can fire anyone in the executive branch at will but NOT Federal Reserve governors is really a parody of the difference between the money power and everything else in America

Justice Sotomayor read her dissent from the bench. It reads in part: "Today, this Court undoes centuries of political practice and concludes that all three branches of Government have been acting in open defiance of the Constitution all this time. Its conclusion is wrong."

I wrote about why celebrities need to speak up against trump too www.nytimes.com/2026/06/28/o...

The DOGE rats are still in the regime, still criming. Did you know passports.gov is now run by the White House, not the State Department, running illegal tracking technology? #doge

I would love to ask Kayleigh McEnany was a God sanctioned flood was compared to Hurricane Sandy. If God didn't cause Hurricane Sandy then what did? Does her version of God sanction floods to kill most of the world's population? Is weather caused by something other than God?

Not ready to watch the Bear, so it’s Alien: Earth yet again.

After federal agents shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a New Yorker sent ICE's director an email in January comparing him to a Nazi. This week, DHS agents stalked him across New York. His home. A hotel. They gave his wife a letter warning of criminal prosecution. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Colorado has never elected a woman to the U.S. Senate. Now's as good a time as any to finally shatter that glass ceiling. Help elect @senadorajulie.bsky.social! Your support 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 matters in a race where our opponent has some of the best name recognition in the state — JanePAC.com/JulieForSenate

My two favorite writers @nikostratis.com and @lukeoneil47.bsky.social And this piece is as good as I'd hoped. I won $10 from Johnny Knoxville when I bet him his friend couldn't jump a sawhorse on 6th St during SXSW. I heard his laugh in person. For that it would have been worth losing the bet.

The U.S. is the worst.

Sheer magnitude of corruption can’t be overstated.

An immigration attorney says that there are now swaths of people held in immigration detention centers who shouldn’t be detained at all. “The number of people who are detained outside the scope of the law has increased dramatically.”

This story on the Trump and Lutnick corrupt interest in a Tungsten deal is breathtaking on its face. But as you read it, remember urgency behind the deal was Trump's illegal tariffs. Then note that deal won't actually PRODUCE any tungsten, if it does, until 2030. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/28/w...

“These packets of zines are a fundraiser for the Prairieland Defendants! Each packet comes with letter writing materials & 15 zines that were used as evidence in the Texas trial touted by the federal government as the first case against ‘antifa’.” all of these zines can be found online for free

1/ Tonight, @katiephang.bsky.social & I joined @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social on @allinwithchris.bsky.social to discuss new House Oversight Comm subpoenas to a key Epstein figure & the newly granted injunction in her lawsuit, which requires DOJ to release items they’ve withheld in violation of law.

Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship before the Supreme Court isn’t merely unconstitutional—it rests on false premises. zurl.co/ni73B

Y'all remember the R judge who presided over Dylann Roof's bond hearing? "...Gosnell allegedly admitted to abusing children in his care, in his neighborhood, and traveling internationally to engage in sex with children on several occasions." spectrumlocalnews.com/sc/south-car...

Dummies don’t even realize you show these passports to non-U.S. countries you’re entering.

obviously not the first person to make this observation but the "move along, citizen" shit for regular DC residents is especially galling in context of the pardons for the rioters who broke into the fucking capitol

Fact check by Marcela Escobari: The Trump administration claims that mass deportations will free millions of jobs for Americans by reducing foreigner competition. In fact, in the first nine months of 2025, ICE operations led to at least 668,000 lost jobs across 86 US metropolitan areas.

A big question is whether we'll now see major ICE raids or whether they'll do something more disguised, because ICE is toxic even in red areas. Either way, local press reports that this could mean an economic loss of up to $400 million. Way to own the libs, Ohio! newrepublic.com/article/2124...

Federal officials plan to deport a 78-year-old priest who has lived in Colorado for more than two decades, despite humanitarian concerns regarding his health and fear of persecution in Uganda. By @lindseytoomer.bsky.social

NEW: DOD is probing the leak of information about an active intelligence officer involved with Peter Thiel's Dialog club. The officer is said to work for a special missions unit. The White House also claims details about another top intelligence official are restricted on national security grounds.

Something I think about sometimes is how my wife's very conservative uncle said the reason he hates Bill Clinton is because he started charging admission fees to national parks. bsky.app/profile/eman...

If you have all the money you’ll ever need and you spend your limited time on earth spewing vile racism, you have wasted the most precious gift anyone can ever have and you do not deserve a moment of happiness.

SCOTUS Justice Amy Coney Barrett has 2 Black Haitian kids who she adopted. Today she ruled to expel 700K Haitians who were here legally. Proximity to white supremacy is not protection from white supremacy. And proximity to Black and brown people is not exemption from being a fascist and racist.

If you are wealthy, I think you should spend more money on clothes. There's no pride in buying clothes for the lowest possible price, as this puts downward pressure on garment worker wages and increases the likelihood of exploitation.

BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

I've never seen it mentioned, but a lot of the preoccupation with fascism comes out of the greatest generation dying off. The old timers I knew as a kid would have totally lost their shit seeing someone do a Hitler salute at the inauguration, and subsequent acts.

The Supreme Court's decision in the Temporary Protected Status case proves the Supreme Court *is* racist. They don't merely affirm Trump's racism, they endorse it. And while that's not "news" for anyone paying attention, it's still outrageous. My latest in @thenation.com

If someone from the FBI visits you about your algae posts the correct thing to do is to say you won’t talk with them. Please do not talk to the FBI. Like, at all. They have no sense of humor and they will take your stupid joke and charge you with lying to an agent.

Compare Alito's description of Trump's racist statements (on the left) to Justice Kagan's anthology of Trump's racist statements (on the right). These are passages from this morning's opinions in Mullin v. Doe.

A necessary first step. -Under 5% of today's Amers were alive last time a Dem prez apptd a chief justice (1946) -Five current GOP court members appt by prez who first took office after losing popular vote (Sixth is ... Thomas.) -Since '86 election, D/R have years in White House. But 6/3 on court.

this is not a serious government or serious people, just seriously stupid

The ICE agent who killed Renee Good is named Jonathan Ross, and he should be indicted. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Friends, they’re not even trying to hide their voter suppression. ⬇️

"I have instructed the DOJ..." used to be a scandal worthy of impeachment. Now it's a daily thing, a whiff of historic moral rot.

NEW: The postmaster general told Congress that, under a new proposed rule, the USPS will not deliver mail ballots unless states hand over their voter lists to the Trump administration. The admission is evidence that the traditionally nonpartisan USPS is complying with Trump's mail voting attack.

When I heard Trump was gonna sign our housing bill, I ran down in excitement! But he was nowhere to be found…. Trump refuses to sign a bill that would make housing cheaper for you because he rather make voting harder for you!

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts
