Trump killed America. "[M]uch of the world is losing faith in the United States’ ability to serve as the leader of a liberal international order. And these new reservations, deeper than those of the past, may prove hard to reverse." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Being anti-immigration remains essentially cipher for being racist.

Trump / Miller are now limiting student visas to 4 years. PhD programs typically run 5-6 years in many disciplines.

We need 2-3 more writers with a science-y backgrounds to help us turn news chaos into orderly information on @unbreaking.org's infectious disease control, food safety, and medical research funding pages.

This is election interference.

When journalists asked me "where we will see the effects of DOGE on outcomes?" one of my responses was "during crises...as long as media connect the dots." Well, dots connected: www.wired.com/story/cdc-cy...

They’re going to kill more people

When we have fires in the US, Canada sent help. When Canada has fires, Trump threatens them with tariffs. What an asshole.

We can blame DOGE for many things. Diarrhea now included. "The CDC lab that responds to outbreaks of the parasite cyclospora was downsized from 11 people to just three."

Luttig: As a candidate for attorney general of the United States of America, Blanche is an embarrassment to America itself. If the Republican Senate confirms this man, based on his record, to be the next attorney general, it will mark the end of the rule of law in America.

If you are keeping track, this is from today.

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

Our two investigations into Madison Square Garden are now unpaywalled and free for anyone to read.

If Andy Beshear doesn’t call for a special election before August 3rd and force Mitch McConnell to prove he can speak in a video, then Andy Beshear becomes the new Merrick Garland. I’m sorry but I make the rules.

A source tells MS NOW that Todd Blanche told Epstein survivors during their meeting, "The FBI has the power to open investigations, not me." "I'm just the attorney general," Blanche added.

lmao, this is an incredible fold

This is the ideal editorial relationship let’s be real

I want trials for every last one of these mother fuckers.

If you're arresting people at the airport on their way OUT of the country, your goal.was never border security. It's filling for-profit concentration camps.

At least the media is finally starting to turn….

just more construction competence from this administration

We are given only a limited number of truly perfect summer days in our time on Earth. One of the more insidious cruelties of fossil fuel greed is how it slowly strips those days from us, more and more throughout our lifetimes, perhaps without us even realizing what we have lost.

Count Binface must be shitting his pants rn at the remote prospect he might actually win like imagine you created this novelty character for some good satire and then reality is surreal enough that you may actually be required to govern

Trump's embarrassing rant last night about an election he lost six years ago made two things very clear: 1. He's not focused on making life better for Americans. Not even close. 2. We should act now to counteract any efforts to undermine our elections. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

“i’m demon free bitch” is one of the funniest things i have ever heard

A couple of weeks ago they said breadsticks were getting married, are you going to do anything about that

"Iran’s video was a disinformation effort intended to sow doubts in the election, and Mullin just recirculated its claims..." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07...

Dear universe, When I said “things could always be worse”, it wasn’t a fucking challenge.

The details of xAI's lawsuit against a man who allegedly used Grok to generate CSAM are disturbing. So are the claims in the several lawsuits *against* xAI, which allege that xAI failed to prevent the creation of Grok-generated CSAM — then failed to protect victims. futurism.com/artificial-i...

🚨NEW🚨 Well, this is a first for me: A surveillance company CEO says sorry. Flock's chief Garrett Langley says it was a "mistake" to label activists tracking the spread of its surveillance technology "terrorists." His comments come amid a rising public backlash. www.forbes.com/sites/thomas...

Miller: "It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

Sometimes the good guys win. And when this happens, we take the time to enjoy our victory because that is the only way to fight a long fight without burning out. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Oppositional Defiant Disorder is basically the defining feature of huge swaths of our politics now

Short sellers are making a mint off of crashing SpaceX stock: $8.7 billion so far Analysts estimate close to half of SpaceX's stock is now owned by short sellers - that's a $30+ billion bet the stock will continue to drop www.reuters.com/business/med...

Axel Springer, the company that owns Politico, awards its top prize to...Antichrist lecturer Peter Thiel. No mention of the $50 million Thiel gave the son of Axel Springer's CEO to start a venture capital fund. But the CEO lauds Thiel's "courage and non-conformity." www.welt.de/wirtschaft/a...

When you die, your name is not automatically and magically removed from voter rolls. This is so flimsy when you stop and think about it for five seconds. Of course there are dead people on voter rolls ... but they don't vote. Because they're dead!

Ernst & Young is notifying customers of a data breach caused by the compromise of a third-party support ticket system used by its IT personnel.

It's *insane* that a private company like Thomson Reuters can collect and store massive databases of Americans' private data — names, addresses, SSNs, ethnicity, social media posts, and their granular location — and the gov't can just buy it, no warrant needed. The data broker industry needs to end.

Mullin just parroted an Iranian disinformation operation from 2020.

Welcome to the resistance, New York Times!

to hear Trump tell it, American elections were completely corrupted while he was president and he was helpless to stop it, then they were cleaned up by Biden ahead of Trump's victory in 2024, and now that Trump is president again they are once again becoming third world caliber

I mean, yeah, no kidding, because this is a policy designed to benefit a very narrow group at the expense of almost everyone else.
