I'm so disillusioned, I almost don't even care who gets the FIFA Peace Prize next year

The corruption is endless. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

The guys that are supposed to be "investigating allegations of employee and contractor misconduct" at ICE are instead ... investigating people who say mean things about ICE on social media. Great story from @regret.bsky.social ... www.wired.com/story/ices-i...

NEW: The ICE office that customarily probes employee misconduct is being refocused to investigate ICE critics, opening hundreds of "doxing and threat" cases and subpoenaing tech companies to unmask anonymous posters. Detention facility inspections, meanwhile, are plummeting. by @regret.bsky.social

It’s been six months since the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Here is how the federal government has stonewalled investigations, and how Minnesota law enforcement is attempting to push for accountability anyway

Jen is absolutely right. Step up folks. It was an error of judgment. We should have higher standards. Own it. Move on. Find a better candidate.

Never let it be forgotten.

Burgum tried to present himself as a rational and sober alternative to Trump during the 2024 GOP primary. This is what he's reduced himself to in order to maintain a proximity to power.

So. Damn. Stupid www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/u...

I hope protesters here also carry these images. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Mitch McConnell is one of the very worst Americans of this century, a force of selfishness and spite who laid waste to our political institutions and social stability like no foreign enemy ever could.

Dicey stuff with the merger pending.

Republicans may be running out the clock on disclosing whether McConnell is even alive, purely so a filing deadline slides past and Thomas Massie can't grab the seat. A man's actual mortality reduced to a procedural loophole for gatekeeping power.

This is the bland face of a total corrupt liar.

glad congress isn’t alive to see this

When the smoke hits your eye and you can't see the sky that'sa MAGA

imagine serving two combat tours in afghanistan and seeing your buddy pulled out of a burning tank and then you have to sing YMCA for a dude who made a billion dollars scamming your aunt with meme coins

When it came to fireworks, Macy’s crushed maga.

Yeahhhhh. Not good right now.

In order to defeat communism, all of the AI companies are gonna have to give up equity to the federal government.

Is Trump going to celebrate July 5 lmao

Being There (2026)

Only if you let him. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

100 years ago.

On America's birthday, let us wish for a world in which every one of these people is unmasked, shamed, and ruined.

the president’s biggest supporters in town for the celebration it looks like

Shocked, I tell you.

A least one ICE detention facility in Arizona is “closed for measles”. It is not clear how many people are infected or have been exposed, and it seems that there may be outbreaks in two facilities.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

We’re in danger.

MS NOW EXCLUSIVE: Former special counsel Jack Smith speaks out in first interview with @nicollewallace.bsky.social "I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime."

You need a whiteboard like in a beautiful mind to keep track of this relentless grift.

The way Trump is fraudulently, corruptly, and criminally profiting off the presidency might cause you to believe that the Supreme Court made him the only person in America who has immunity from being prosecuted. Like a king. But they would never do something that crazy.

This sounds like a very cruel and destructive hot mess in the making.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dccartoonist.bsky.social ) #BribeForceOne

“.. Extremely disturbing (for multiple reasons) that betting markets now see a significant chance of the Trump admin taking equity stakes in more than a dozen other major companies, including OpenAI & Anthropic.” - @scottlincicome.bsky.social

Hegseth showed up late, making troops in uniform wait in 93 degree heat: “To the soldiers here - thank you for waiting out here in the sun. I’m to blame. I had a meeting that went long. I never want to make a formation stand out longer than it has to." bsky.app/profile/atru...

Mall Capacity: 150,000 people. Hydration Stations: 4

They are psychopaths.

Starlink is also terrible in cities because only so many users can connect to the overhead satellite at a time before bandwidth drops... this "compensation" is the cynical cherry on top of the most egregious act of environmental racism in a while

Gross: Trump is now directly linking grants of disaster aid to states right to local GOP candidates in the midterms, giving them a boost. He's crediting *them* for his decisions. This is supposed to be a neutral process! On the pod, @stevebenen.com lays it all out: newrepublic.com/article/2126...

Chinese intelligence operatives have paid me to remind you that the Memphis grok data center dumps formaldehyde on black toddlers because U.S. regulators are too corrupt to do their jobs

a few bucks off your broadband bill doesn't address the fact that 57 largely unregulated natural gas data center turbines are pumping toxic pollution into predominately black neighborhoods that already see disproportionately high rates of pollution-based illness, hoss

Reshape is not a synonym for subvert.

Don't miss this folks, hitting the Tar Pits one of my favorite memories of visiting LA! You got about a week before they close for TWO YEARS for reno!

Hegseth at work.

You want to do what with your sons
