The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing half the population that the "manly" way to get around is on a giant rolling couch controlled by gently depressing your toe.

Wilson: I guarantee you there are 10 reporters in D.C. right now who know exactly what Mitch McConnell’s medical status is. They’re not reporting it.  If I’m Beshear, brother, just declare the election. And if they want to prove that Mitch McConnell is alive and well, go do it.

mcconnell should've had a book on his bedside with a title like WHAT TO DO WHEN YOURE NOT DYING

I love the wording of this: "Mitch McConnell... Says he is alive." Would like confirmation that someone actually spoke to him to get that quote.

Ok, this is a big deal. But shouldn’t it be a reported-out news story, not a comment made in a podcast while on a book tour?

So does the attribution to Mitch McConnell saying it. That requires some evidence.

Weren't they administering CPR after the call to his house in June? Is it common to administer CPR without breaking any bones in an 84-year-old person?

Here’s the thing: I could probably come up with lots of creative, AI-proof online approaches. But finding the time to reflect an innovate comes at a premium. I often revamp my courses, but this is an order of magnitude much higher in redesign. AI is not a pedagogical crisis, it’s a labor crisis.

if democrats can't build a populist message around a government that is willing to protect its citizens from explosive diarrhea from their veggies and screw worms in their beef then idk what their point is

Bear in mind, this guarantee of sledgehammering food safety is coming at the exact same time they have already shot food safety in the face via DOGE cuts and such. Like, last *April* they killed tracing salmonella levels in poultry. Last *August* the CDC stopped tracking 6 foodbourne pathogens.

🚨 NEW: ICE plans to open a new 'staging' facility for kids in Louisiana. Will be run by a private prison company that has reported deaths of 2 detainees since April at one of its facilities. Former IRS lawyer told me their tax filing "doesn't pass the smell test" www.thequeenzone.com/a-private-pr...

Uhhhh... Who looks at this and says, "for my child, yes!"?

Michigan is experiencing its largest outbreak of a parasitic infection that causes severe diarrhea. Cyclospora spreads through contaminated food and water, often linked to fresh produce. As of early July, the source remains unidentified. Here's how to reduce risk when eating fruits and vegetables.

This is what an accordion looks like to airport security—not surprising they often flag it for a second look. Amsterdam, here I come!

Ahh yes, the ballot box: where I vote on the SEC's settlement with Musk. Is that one of the initiatives in Texas this year?

Hey @strictscrutiny.bsky.social, 100% would buy "I cannot support this irresponsible escapade." Also great, love "we will be cleaning up debris for the foreseeable future."

It’s great that they created the “Center for Intellectual Freedom” and students expressed their freedom of choice in not wanting to take these classes, and so now the “freedom” is forced upon them. Truly the marketplace of ideas.

After decades of screeching that universities are indoctrinating the youth, Republicans are proud to roll out the new course, Mandatory Youth Indoctrination 1001

Uhm... the government controlling prices and the means of production, what do you call that again

A Dallas cop goes berserk on a World Cup team in a hotel lobby, the city's paper of record presents it as a both sides issue, then buries the fact that DPD was forced to apologize and never even attempts to name the officer involved or ask how he's being held accountable.

If I’m reading correctly: Boutros’s office requests brutal murder case be under seal so that defendants don’t destroy evidence before arrest. Then, before all arrests, they ask the judge to unseal their own request to brag at a press conference with Kash Patel. Judge says no and he does it anyway!

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

We're constantly told that women can never compete with men and yet Kelsey Pfendler is about to set the record for the fastest solo row from California to Hawaii, beating the men's record by a full week. What an incredible feat of athleticism, endurance, and grit.

For what looks to be the first time ever, supreme court decides more on the shadow docket than the merits docket 😬

If you’re gonna come at the king, you gotta… gotta kill him……….:… when you come at the king you can’t try again

NEW: Trump's flurry of pardons to Clean Air Act violators were the latest move by his administration to undermine laws intended to fight climate change & curb air pollutants that harm human health, @karenzraick.bsky.social & I report.

This is trash.

INCREDIBLE SCENES ON FOX as there is LITERALLY NOT A SOUL at Trump's fair, which has now been open for 15 minutes

Today's NYT jobs report coverage (left) compared to exactly 2 years ago under Biden (right). Notice the numbers.

if I were an elected representative and my constituents were coming up and saying "our daughter can't go to college unless she gets an athletic scholarship" I would be like "this is why we need universal free college" not "we'll pretend to solve this by being cruel to trans people." crazy right

So much "price of eggs" discourse, so little acknowledgement for so long that it was illegal price-fixing apnews.com/article/egg-...

American factory construction continued declining in official data released today as CHIPS Act projects finish, IRA projects get cancelled, and tariffs weigh on nearly all industries Total US factory construction is down 30% from its 2024 highs and 20% over the last year alone

Great story. I am still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that they removed all the water fountains from a 45 mile trail WITHOUT WARNING. In Mississippi. In June. Do they not realize that people doing long runs or bike rides count on those water fountains?

Top story: Some who suffered injuries have filed lawsuits against SpaceX, many of which have yet to see trial. This includes a former worker who had his leg crushed from by a boom lift, another who got head injuries from a falling ladder, and another who fell into an improperly lit open pit.

Miller's deranged, explicit racism really deserves a lot more press exposure so people can see him for what he is. The whole "quiet adviser in the background" schtick has served him well. These comments need do get into campaign ads ASAP.

talk about things that haven’t aged well

Factual question: How many trans girls have been admitted to college in the United States on an athletic scholarship? Because if the number is zero or close, then this is not a problem, let alone one we need the state to solve with discrimination against some 12 year olds who want to play sports.

Someone tell MGP that trans athletes have been allowed to participate in girls' sports in Washington State for nearly 20 years. It has not blocked girls from getting athletic scholarships. This is yet another sad example of her enabling MAGA at the expense of her own constituents.

This sounds way better 👇👇👇

if you have feelings about SCOTUS after today, and after the last week, and after the last months and years, remember that at least you can vote for state supreme courts in many places this year, and those matter a ton too my state-by-state guide to every state supreme court contest:

Make sure everyone understands the #USPS plan for not postmarking ballots the same day you send them. This quiet Dec. 2025 change plus a court decision saying USPS doesn’t even actually have to TRY to deliver mail means ballots WILL BE delayed or NOT DELIVERED AT ALL in select areas

🚨 NEW: "Donald Trump ​reported more than $1.4 billion in income from ‌his family’s crypto ventures last year, showing how he now earns most of his income from digital assets ​that have benefited from his policies" Tom Bergin and Koh Gui Qing for @reuters.com

Instead of hearing about this and thinking “how dare he take 3 months off!” consider thinking that 3 months’ paid leave for inpatient depression treatment could be available for everybody if people like Rep. Tom Kean (R-NJ) chose to pass a law that said so

It’s important to understand that the Court is now just an arm of the oligarchy. This decision strips the people of the right to limit the role of money in politics. It gives billionaires special rights to buy our elections. A precondition of oligarchy.

Goddamn it. Kavanaugh also has the campaign finance case. 6-3, spending limits on dark money violate the First Amendment. Peter Theil's boy comes through for him, throwing WIDE the gates on the billionaire class buying elections.
