On the day that Americans celebrate the start of its war with England, Ken Paxton makes a pilgrimage to England. And, as if that's not showing bad political judgment enough, he takes his mistress. And they are videoed doing what looks like a Walk of Shame. Or, rather, a Walk of Shamelessness. Glory!

Whoever the presidential candidates are I think this is a really good idea.

This is in Jackson, Mississippi. Not Seattle, or Los Angeles, or Manhattan, or San Francisco. This is in Jackson, Mississippi. The pendulum swings.

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Brilliant. How real trolling is done.

WOW. Todd Blanche IGNORES the court order to produce certain Epstein files or explain redactions, and INSTEAD claims it needs more time, and should be able to do it UNDER SEAL. We saw this deflection coming a mile away. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

REPORTER: “What’re your plans for the housing bill?” TRUMP: “I don’t know. It’s so unimportant to me.” What?!?! Fuck this guy. Drop a follow

#DebbieHarry Happy Birthday 💛💝

If you owe a woman $5 million for sexual assault, you also owe the country your resignation.

It seems the USA's 'manifest destiny' is to elect the very worst people among them and destroy the democracy they swore to defend.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social is what a politician should be.

Coming from the most corrupt Administration in American history, this is an honor I'll treasure forever.

Ossoff: On Wednesday of this last week he said the war was "Done." And then on Thursday another ship was struck. On Friday the president was bombing again. This is what happens when you send your son-in-law, Jared, to cosplay as a diplomat

I don't respect the president. I don't like him. I won't follow him. I won't listen to him. I hate his fuckin guts.

And in related news.👇

Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

Trump thought suing the BBC would intimidate them. Instead, they turned his own lawsuit into a legal headache that could force him to defend his actions surrounding January 6 under oath. That is the kind of self inflicted karma no political strategist could have scripted.

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Phang: I have standing to be able to get Todd Blanche to comply with Judge Sullivan’s order, which is now telling him that on or before July 2nd, he either has to put up or shut up. He either has to bring forth unredacted files or show cause as to why he should not or cannot do so.

Zelenskyy tells russians to wake up, your leader doesn't give a shit about you and will abandon you to Ukrainian drones. Full speech (English translation): www.president.gov.ua/en/news/yaks...

There was a rule when I was in Trump's first term: if a memo had a staple in it, it was too long for him to read. Life-or-death decisions were cut to one page. Or a half-page. Or less. Bold fonts. BIG pictures. When you’re wondering why everything’s a mess, remember that.

Lest we forget... Claire Fox defended the IRA murdering two young boys in Warrington ("The right of the Irish people to take whatever measures necessary in their struggle for freedom") and has never apologised. #politicslive

Hunter speaks! Dems need to listen. 🙌🔥

Ossoff: "The other thing that is really bothering people is that while Americans are paying record high prices for just about everything, the first family is becoming billions of dollars wealthier, sweetheart deals all over the world. The president is literally building a monument to himself."

We’re punishing reflecting pool observers before Epstein Files participants.

Let's make it happen.

Mark Elias Is A Soldier, Fighting For The Constitution, And democratic Values.......

Too Bad Kash, The 5 Dudes You Arrested,Were Far Right Extremists Pissed Off About You And Chump, Not Releasing THE EPSTEIN FILES.......🤡🤛🏻 (The National Desk,CBS,wjla.com)

Sums it up nicely

I’ll never forgive anyone who voted for this destruction, corruption, disrespect, criminality and complete chaos. You’re no patriot, you’re an arsonist.

ANY other President would have been removed, disgraced, and castigated.

We flew B2 bombers halfway around the world we fought for 40 days we killed their supreme leader and then we handed them $300 billion. That’s not a win that’s what happens when you give a clown a flamethrower. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙌𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙍𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙂𝙤 𝘼𝙬𝙖𝙮 The Epstein case is no longer simply about Jeffrey Epstein. It is about public confidence in the equal application of justice. Victims came forward. Investigative failures have been documented. Questions remain about 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙨, 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 .. 👇

He's lying. You know why we know? WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT HE SIGNED!!!! Here's the operative language: "The U.S. undertakes, together with regional partners, a comprehensive plan...for the rehabilitation and economic development of Iran...of at least $300 billion."

"So ... so I said ... why not sign your treaty here, at Versailles?"

Ossoff: The president has been humiliated on the world stage. Many Americans are increasingly concerned about his stability and his capacity for the office. It’s deeply distressing to Americans to see a president so incompetent attempting and failing to represent the nation.

Every word true.

"Seeing the huge anti-racism crowds in Glasgow and Belfast was genuinely heart-warming. Thousands of people came together to stand up for their neighbours, their communities, and basic human decency. No cars burned. No homes attacked. No businesses smashed up ..." via HandsomeCrocodile8127

🚨 BREAKING ACTION: Congress just formally leveled six Articles of Impeachment against Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. From rewriting the Constitution to shield the executive branch to massive conflicts of interest, the high court has gone rogue. Tell your reps to back impeachment NOW: 👇

People have shown up to watch the removal of the orange felon’s disgusting name from the Kennedy Center including thousands more watching live streams. It’s coming TF down!

Hawaii just passed the first state law in the country banning corporations from making political donations in state elections. Now a Koch-backed legal group is suing to overturn it. Big Money won't get out of our politics without a fight — one that we the people must win. (via @levernews.com)

The longtime Trump critic says the president "doesn't have the marbles to do anything" and believes "reality has no meaning to him."

Our president is a Rapist. #epsteinfiles #epstein #trumpepstein

NEWS: A @lawfaremedia.org report finds that *97* Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the attack were arrested, charged, or convicted of subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported. Incredible work by @katherinepomps.bsky.social www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
