You think you have the breadth of American racism down pretty well and then you learn that in the 1920s a man could have the government job of “Mounted Chinese Inspector” (from MIGRA! by Kelly Lytle Hernández)

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?" Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely." "Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."

This guy gets it.

This. Also: 1. Our nuclear modernization started under Obama. 2. The only significant nuclear expansion under Trump was the low-yield W76 mod 2 submarine launched ballistic missile. 3. Testing nukes is fucking stupid. We don’t need to do it.

Nothing about this says "I want to see THAT GUY dancing in a ballroom." www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9e9...

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

My God won’t somebody stop this Epstein Ballroom madness?!

I believe the Federal Government owes ME $200 million. Thanks.

My good fiscal philosophy is that I care more about America than Argentina. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Administration - raised taxes on clean energy with one big beautiful bill - is stopping or making clean energy projects harder to be built - is raising prices on materials with tariffs - all while AI is spiking electricity demand They are stopping supply while demand goes up It’s a crisis

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

A big victory for Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s defense team.

Great idea.

The GOP health care for immigrants lie is an old one. Here’s me six years ago:

The message is simple: GOP Congress is blaming the Dems for trying to actually do something for the rest of us. Meanwhile GOP Congress is stumbling over themselves to NOT govern, and get out of Trump's way.... ...so he can rip ALL OF US off via tariffs and everything else.

This is the best elevator pitch I've seen from Dems on the shutdown.

Trump’s tariffs - and companies’ push for relief from them - has set off a lobbying boom with more than $900 million spent in the first half of this year. The big winners: A small group of lobbying firms with close ties to the Trump administration. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

The GOP: Blaming Democrats.... ....while NOT SEATING Democrats to vote. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

So Trump is defunding the police.

Until Congress declares war on Chicago, New York and San Francisco, could we please can it with the "war within" shit? Those are American cities. Full of Americans. We're all on the same team, here.

1. He's talking about America's largest city. 2. "The money" is supposed to come from the U.S. Congress, not "me." 3. Trump's error on #2 is the fault of the cowardly Republicans in Congress and on the Supreme Court.

This shouldn't need to be said, but coal is failing in the year 2025 because it is more expensive than alternative solutions. You can't polish this lump.

White House Deputy Press Secretary seen here posting data showing how much more prevalent right wing domestic terrorism is than left wing domestic terrorism... while thinking she's showing the reverse. Apparently she can only read headlines, but not the actual graph with the data.

Expertise is a thing.

While he doesn’t think that ideology represents everyone in the opposing party, there is “a little base of it, in the Republican party, . . . of white nationalism.”

I was proud of this one.

To be clear: It's entirely possible this is about the Dan Richman stuff (as we catalogued in our piece for @lawfaremedia.org), not the Andy McCabe stuff. We don't really know the factual basis for the indictment because the indictment doesn't say. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

It seems that the only trans person known to be in the orbit of this horrific Kirk assassination saga expressed shock and horror, and immediately cooperated fully with law enforcement.

Also, likely to have Warner Bros. Discovery (which includes HBO and CNN) based on what's been said. So, you know... Of course, I'm sure we'll continue to hear about how "the woke liberal media" is against MAGA.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

All hail VICTOR!!! He's a real-life hero whose selflessness & courage is an inspiration to us all. Wishing you a complete & speedy recovery. I salute you, sir! 🫡
