In a serious country, our government would’ve arrested, tried, convicted & imprisoned Trump for colluding with Russia to subvert the 2026 election, using foreign aid to extort from Ukraine a fake scandal to subvert the 2020 election, and/or January 6.

Meaning most of the rise in stock prices consists of hype over AI, which hasn’t yielded any returns yet, despite astronomical funding. I see no bubble potential at all…

Exactly.

Stoller steps in it again.

Hell, no one one that list is qualified to be even a dog catcher. At least half of them ought to be in jail (being unfamiliar with the other half, I can’t include them).

Baby bonds are adorable. But a policy that expires in 2028 looks more like a campaign onesie than a savings plan.

Here comes even more BS.

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

This never stopped the GOP before. 👇

Me? I see a need to remove $1 trillion bag of waste, fraud, abuse & outright fascism from the U.S. economy (specifically, in autos & high tech) & our society in general.

Smashing turnout.

I recall us doing that to fascism, but here we are again.

Note as well that we don’t need ideological designations from a guy who can’t tell a communist from a cantaloupe.

Surely, the appropriate thing to do is remove him from the Senate & prevent his replacement until such time as the opposing party gains control of that house of Congress. Fair’s fair, after all, amiright?

The internet's original sin: As a society, we made a deal with the devil when we "decided" to fund the internet with ads in the 90s: attentionworth.com, and we are about to do it all over again with AI. www.searchenginejournal.com/openai-launc...

He’s not even in office anymore and he’s still more presidential than the man who is.

FEARLESS Black Americans have been confronting hatred with dignity for generations.

When I first read this 30 years ago, it was clearly SciFi. Re-reading it now, it feels like a different genre. (also, it holds up: Atwood is a great writer)

I’m guessing Der Groper realized he didn’t have enough time to rent thousands of extras to disguise the fact that nobody wanted to participate in his folly.

This is how a society dies.

Of course it was a lie. Everything Miller says or does is a lie. Brava!

THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED FOR UNDER FASCISM — BRAVERY Before the attacks & the hot takes start, a few facts: Major Jason Watson is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, a career logistics officer, a NATO officer, and a decorated veteran who volunteered for a 365-day tour in Afghanistan… 🧵

Imagine that—a non-predatory government. This is how it’s done.

Lawler deserves tarring & feathering. He’s slime.

‘Some people call…’ Tell us Noah, what’s your source for the term? Smith seems unable to explain his new pet trend coherently. Did you know ‘DSA is the Democrats’ version of MAGA’? DSA is full of belligerently ignorant racists blindly following a con man implementing fascism? I have some doubts…

This reminds me of my favorite sign from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear” on the national mall in 2010. You can watch the entire rally here: www.c-span.org/program/publ...

Question: Are Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil infrastructure having a real impact, not only undermining Russia's war machine but also making regular Russians feel costs of war in unignorable ways? Answer: Picture of car line waiting to get fuel, so long that there are port-a-potties along the way.

Paigelynne Gonyea, the Syracuse poll worker who federal immigration agents recently confronted at her voting site as she worked an election, said in an interview with Democracy Docket that she’s exploring her legal options, including free speech violations. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

As an old friend once said about a history teacher whose class we had the misfortune to experience, Vance ‘belongs in the New Haven Home for the Totally Wrong.’

At this point Alito (and his fellow conservatives on the Court, including Thomas) should simply don pointy white hoods.

Compare Alito's description of Trump's racist statements (on the left) to Justice Kagan's anthology of Trump's racist statements (on the right). These are passages from this morning's opinions in Mullin v. Doe.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 6-3 in favor of the Trump admin on Temporary Protected Status, blocking the lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds, allowing DHS to strip over 350,000 people of legal status even though they utterly failed to follow the required legal procedures.

IMPORTANT to know that the vast majority of Haitians with TPS entered the country legally at ports of entry, not illegally. The majority have NEVER violated the law. The admin stripped their status by breaking the law, but today SCOTUS says courts can't do anything about that.

BREAKING: SCOTUS just ruled against Haitian refugees, taking away their temporary protected status. Many Haitian refugees are caretakers for senior citizens, @citizencohn.bsky.social spoke to a few about how their care will be impacted. lnk.thebulwark.com/3QnEoB4

Breaking news: The Trump administration can cancel temporary humanitarian protections for Haitian and Syrian immigrants living legally in the U.S., the Supreme Court ruled, possibly allowing the deportation of hundreds of thousands of people this year.

Kagan makes sure that Trump’s gutter racism — and the majority hand-waiving it away — gets into the record.

The last immigration opinion in particular is awful and instead of yelling about it at length I'm just going to observe that the equal protection analysis is almost entirely unsupported by citations to relevant authority. There's a cursory cite to one leading opinion and then a bunch of handwaving.

the supreme court sanctions racist state pogroms. the admin has made it pretty clear that that's its next step.

Pop quiz for sentient beings: If you endorse both contenders, what’s your endorsement worth?

Trump’s negotiation strategy: 1. Declare victory. 2. Threaten everyone. 3. Watch the talks collapse. Now Iran is walking away from the table. The “Art of the Deal” is looking more like the Art of the Train Wreck. #USDemocracy #Pinks

Weiss is a colossal a**h***.

Yeah, “Guys like me.” That sonofabitch inherited $430 million (in today’s dollars, adjusted for inflation) from his father at birth. A self-made man. I’m impressed. F***ing bigot.

Fuck this guy and fuck you if you voted for him.

Where's Ms Rachel? I'm in DC with 535 packets of children's letters and pictures from Dilly Immigration Detention Center. Members or Congress need to hear their voices and understand the trauma that they are enduring while a for profit prison company, Core Civic, makes millions.

Yesterday, on the anniversary of the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944, we joined #VisibilityBrigades around the country to honor D-Day—by calling on the govt to close ICE concentration camps. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @kittywestmeow.bsky.social @indivisible.org @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social

60 Minutes no longer appeals to younger viewers. That's why we're adding Alan Dershowitz to the 60 Minutes team.

Holy sh*t!
