Well that sounds bad

Here’s your breakfast.. @clubbing-guy.bsky.social

I’d rather all my taxes go to SNAP, EBT, Food Stamps or whatever food assistance programs than to a Ballroom or war of choice.

Duffy embarked on the all-expenses-paid Great American Road Trip, designed as a “guide to the historic landmarks, open roads, and small towns that tell 250 years of this country’s story.” But as the financing has come into view, the trip looks less like civic uplift than a rolling ethics problem.

Two police officers from Gratis, Ohio, an all-white town per the US census, showed up at a majority Latinx public school in Cincinnati—50 miles away—to search for kids for ICE, disguised as a “wellness check.”

Why do people hate Democratic Socialism when it so clearly works? You just tax a few obnoxious, power-mad billionaires (Musk, O’Leary, etc.) and make life better for millions. CAN I GET A FREAKING AMEN? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Holy balls, this opinion: "As citizens, we trust that federal prosecutors . . . will play fair and be honest with its counterparts and the judiciary. DOJ has proven unworthy of this trust at every point in this case." (via @chrisgeidner.bsky.social) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Of course.

This. All of this. #Pinks #ProudBlue

motorists who complain about bike lanes don't get what a city would be like without so many bicyclists. i live in boston, and i love bike lanes. not because i ride a bike but because they encourage more people to ride bikes, which lightens traffic. when bikes are part of the culture, everyone wins.

that patient was incredibly lucky to escape with his dick

No way, the Paul family has an issue with bigotry? I am shocked to my core. Never saw THAT coming. Nope, not one bit.

NBC really cut to a fucking Draft Kings ad during a moment of silence for Brandon Clarke and Jason Collins. Holy shit, that’s ghoulish.

I don't think recent memory has featured an industrial company with as much of a reputational fall-off as Tesla, both because of the decrease in quality of its cars and the increase in blithering fascism in its CEO. A decade ago a Tesla was a status object; now it's a vague embarrassment at best.

It should be pointed out over and over that besides Bari Weiss being completely obsessed with turning CBS into a television version of her anti-woke, pro-Israel blog, she is also extremely incompetent at the nuts and bolts of running a network. www.semafor.com/article/05/1...

This is why they really hate him — because he’s showing government can actually do good stuff for regular people

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

After FIVE MONTHS on the job, Zohran Mamdani has delivered a BALANCED BUDGET for NYC, without cutting services or raising overall property taxes. HE DID THAT!! He cleared a 12 BILLION dollar gap by managing spending, getting a bigger slice from the state and closing loopholes. He did it while

“Jeffrey Epstein was under house arrest for the molestation of underage girls at the exact time he was abusing me,” she told lawmakers.

Let this radicalize you

Democrats should ensure that voters hear this so much it haunts their dreams this fall.

There is no specific language in the Constitution that says that votes need to be counted. So it’s hard to understand why Louisiana voters are upset with their esteemed governor Jeff Landry. by Jonathan Turley

In a since-deleted interview, Virginia Rep. Jen Kiggans emphatically agreed when a far-right radio host said Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries should get his "cotton-picking hands off of Virginia.” “That’s right. Ditto. Yes. Yes, to that,” Kiggans said. trib.al/0n7dfGh

Major corporations have come out & admitted that the US is officially in a recession even though the Regime lies & saids that economy is doing well. youtu.be/Xg2QgkfgfKA?...

Any questions about why the GOP is desperately trying to cheat before the midterms?

SCOTUS invoked the Purcell Principle, which is that courts shouldn't make changes that affect an election too close to an election, to block a decision that would have required Texas to change its maps *last December* but now since it advantages Rs it's fine to change maps after voting has started

This is President Trump's envoy to Greenland, the man tasked with convincing them to join America and enjoy its deep commitment to democracy

where is john roberts to tell us that this is just one of those apolitical, unpopular decisions the court has to make sometimes?

NEW: NAACP on Supreme Court allowing Alabama to redraw map to dilute power of Black voters "We are witnessing a return to Jim Crow. Anybody who is alarmed by these developments—as everybody should be—better be making a plan to vote in November to put an end to this madness"

Could you get any more vile?

As I wrote this morning… www.stevevladeck.com/p/227-were-a...

We’re less than 90 minutes from Justice Alito’s entirely arbitrary 5 p.m. deadline for his administrative stays in the mifepristone case. As I explained last week, Alito is the only justice who regularly imposes these time limits—and he only does it in cases in which he doesn’t like the applicants:

I was really not worried about the hantavirus until this administration started saying more and more forcefully everything is fine

lol msnow just did a man on the street segment about prices and this guy goes “the price of martinis is $32 now. you really think martinis will ever be $24 again?”

These are sick fuckers should have never been pardon. They wouldn't have committed another crime on children.

Over at “One First,” I wrote about how the redistricting chaos we’re seeing in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Virginia is something #SCOTUS *chose,* and how it belies both the entire purpose of the “Purcell principle” and the Court’s claim that it’s staying out of the political process:

Chicago teen battling terminal cancer dies hours after reuniting with parents An 18-year-old Chicago resident battling terminal cancer has died, just one day after being reunited with his parents following their release from U.S. immigration custody.

It’s cool how the most powerful person in the country is a decomposing 79-year-old

Did you know every MAGA influencer is in a group chat with people close to the administration where they’re regularly given scripts? They also have a website to sign up for influence campaigns that they never disclose. They’re making bank off of lying to you.

More proof that this administration is entirely unserious about anything.

Pro-European, center-right Péter Magyar has been sworn in as Hungary's prime minister. The EU flag was raised on the parliament building in Budapest for the first time since Viktor Orbán's authoritarian government removed it in 2014.

Officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

Residents of an Atlanta suburb have been rocked by the revelation that sales employees at Flock have been accessing sensitive cameras in the town to demonstrate the company’s surveillance technology to police departments around the country.

hey all that shit in legal books? it's all made up. we can change it.

A must-read thread 🧵

After 12 years, the EU flag is back on Hungary’s Parliament building — the new Speaker’s very first decision. A happy Schuman Day indeed.
