We are not remotely ready for the post-American order.

I just-

The emperor Commodus:

Ronaldo was named after Reagan which raises the terrifying possibility of a future superstar called Donaldo.

King sounds like my Republican family in October 2016 after Trump’s Access Hollywood tape was released. We know how that ended. Politics is give and take on a lot of things. Not on this.

Man got Chotiner’d without even agreeing to an interview. Astounding

Through an ill-fated venture with an ex, I learned a bit about end of life planning. And, honestly, the real reason you should sit down with your loved ones and draft up all your forms is less for when you die than the cases where you don't—cause the default rules for the latter are far murkier.

The plan? We get so scared of the idea of Susan Collins as an unbeatable juggernaut that we clear the field for the only people who could lose to her in a wave year

Reminded that Trump was the one who originally wanted to ban TikTok after kids on TikTok reserved a bunch of fake seats for a rally, leaving an empty stadium. And then the Democrats handed him the ban (because they were upset that kids were saying mean things about Israel) for Trump to "save."

During Prohibition. While visiting the dry U.S. in 1932, Winston Churchill was still "in pain" from an earlier 1931 traffic accident. In New York City, Dr. Pickhardt prescribed spirits of indefinite quantities but at least 250ml of whiskey every day. #Churchill

HIGH ALTI-JUDE! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

“WHY is there COLD AIR in this building in GEORGIA in AUGUST”

It all just doesn’t seem like a very convincing hypothesis to me that if people saw the left waving flags more they would suddenly be convinced to support it. And in fact things that challenge the nationalist status quo, such as being anti war, are much more fruitful avenues for increasing support.

Even named Harry Truman!

Give them the freedom they crave. Let them stand with their arms raised on the Mall towards the sky, calling upon their god-er, President’s name.

I’m cutting onions, that’s all.

they are trying to repeal everything this country has achieved since 1865 and we will, like the hero born of woman, crush the serpent beneath the heel

Great moments in U.S. History.

A reminder that as you see photos of those Patriot Front douchebags today, they are marching on a holiday because none of them have anywhere else to be. None of them have friends or family who want them around on a holiday. No one is missing them today. They're already with their only friends.

The greatest collection of frightened cowards on the continental landmass.

This an official Vatican photograph of Leo at Lampedusa, Italy - one of the world’s heaviest migrant sites - where he went this morning to pray for migrants who died at sea. This is after turning down the offer to come to the United States.

Been thinking about this piece all night, and it helps explain how Peter Thiel got to the point where his dream of ending democracy almost looks inevitable.

Mamdani: "Those who led through exclusion & isolation have tried to win power & enrich themselves by turning us against one another ... today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum"

Millions of people have just been murdered in an instant by this invading alien force. What remains of Los Angeles, Washington, and New York City is burning. This is unconscionable.

Really don't like how every person with a social security account now gets unsolicited political messages from the SSA.

Is this bad? This seems bad.

Crazy how this is the one of the coldest summers of the rest of our lives

Thanks, SCOTUS!

The scumsucker got what he wanted.

The court is illegitimate. Four votes for a crank position mocked universally until fifteen minutes ago.

We really should just have the next Del trifecta pass a bill by majority vote declaring those six losers as insurrectionists and remove them from office. Don’t even need impeachment. Just follow the precedent they themselves endorsed to keep Trump on the ballot.

The Supreme Court today addressed one of the most pressing threats to the nation today: banning this high school sophomore from playing school sports with her friends 🫡🫠🙃

This is how I want the next Democratic president to run their Attorney General vetting process.

One of the signs of Republican decay in Rome was the increase in scale and number of triumphal parades for generals. It tipped from a government of laws to a government of power.

It may affect fewer people INITIALLY, but it presages a fundamental shift in our system of government that will eventually worsen the lives of every man, woman, and child in the future United States, or whatever is left of it. It indicates a transition from democracy to tyranny.

the reich house

If I had been one of the liberal justices I would have voted to let him fire Cook. “The majority wants to have its cake and eat it too. They are unwilling to go to the logical conclusion of their illogical ends. So I will help them get there. Look upon your works, ye mighty, and despair.”

Kilauea is erupting again and camera 3 looks like it might get it. ⚒️🧪 youtu.be/H4uSfIYSrNw?...

The thing is I think a movie about young George Washington could be good. Like one of the first notable things he did was start a world war while participating in the 18th century version of Kalshi bets (land speculation). I just don't know if Angel Studios is the one to do it.

Expanding the Supreme Court is the moderate position.

Building a time machine to go back and tell George W. Bush to not back down on Harriet Miers.

Jonathan Ross is a murderer and should be indicted, pass it on.

5-4 Alito ruling that anything Trump says out loud automatically amends the constitution. 3-3-3 split on the actual legal question of what constitutes a formal veto.

You want to break the 2 party system by electing a losing independent party, I want to break the 2 party system by making being Republican illegal, we are not the same

I think this is oversimplifying but a lot of it is (1) it's a story that he created out of thin air—no one was talking about the Reflection Pool—and (2) more importantly, there's no denying it is extremely, visibly, green

oh my god

This appears to be basically accurate except eventually the eternal radicalization loop means someone’s going to deploy the troops instead of of playing electoral ping pong

This is an unfathomably evil act that will be a foul stain on our nation’s history forever. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/19/w...
