Just in time for the summer beach season.

Apple needs to think different. Consumers can induce that.

There is a single imperitive now: For Democrats to win the next election. Anyone who works to achieve that goal is our ally, as @simonwdc.bsky.social explains.

BREAKING: We just won in court — again — to protect Pennsylvanians’ right to vote by mail.

Emmer thinks his state is too unbigoted.

There is no Separation of Powers when the Supreme Court is the stooge of a dictatorial president

The mark of a packed court majority that is so deeply/overtly politicized that concern for its legitimacy is entirely out the window.

With seven decisions with the *same* 6-3 lineup over the last three days, I really can't wait for all of the hot takes from the folks who keep insisting that #SCOTUS *isn't* defined by its ideological division.

Josh Shapiro's success opposing Trumpism in a purple state provides a vital model Like some other D leaders, Shapiro's supporting a slate of congressional candidates; but his slate is in swing districts key to Ds' chances of retaking the House-just as Pennsylvania is key to retaking the White House

"The GOP Congress is beginning to really stand up to Trump." Pundits. Oh wait.... Under pressure from Trump, Republican-led Senate reverses course on Iran

"There has to be some form of punishment” for women who have abortions. Donald Trump, 2016

As I discussed last week, JD Vanceish "conservatives" are beginning to extend their longstanding affinity for the brutal, bloody and imperialist Putin regime to Russia's longstanding partner in mass murder and repression, the theocracy of Iran. 1/

At least Trump's rotting extremities are not visible in that picture.

Abortion ban victim: Under Texas’s cruel abortion ban, I was forced to give birth to a baby every doctor knew would not survive. I was not allowed to make a decision. The state made it for me.

"Constitutional lawyer" Johnson ignores the fact that birthright citizenship is not simply a "tradition", but rather was incorporated into the Constitution via the 14th Amendment.

Putin and the Iranian Regime could not create a better asset in the Pentagon.

This has long been proven to be a bad idea -- but the promise of some fast cash leads cities to do it.

Good luck prosecuting anyone for violating these regulations by merely *touching* the water in the Reflecting Pool.

There is a hidden outbreak of algae where Trump's name used to be.

I am now trying to picture Mr. Rogers with Stalin's spine.

I think taking political advice from Hunter Biden is a terrible idea.

This "doctrine" is one tool for the Trumped Court to restore the deeply reactionary Lochner era - during which progressive actions at the state and federal level were systematically nullified for years, until, in the 1930s, the Justices faced the risk of court restructuring.

Republican politicians are tied at the hip to this nihilist. By choice.

They hardly disavow the "far left" descriptor. But what actually distinguishes them is a tightly organized party-within-party structure, far more than the broadly popular, within liberal areas, policy positions they highlight.

The reality, of course is that the DSA is an ideologically driven and tightly organized political party operating, for the moment, inside the Democratic Party, as a matter of strategy - and now with a charismatic leader. Failing to recognize that is a mistake.

Republicans are fighting to "save the Republic" by undermining democracy as rapidly as possible.

Not disgusting at all

This is why Iran is focused on an immediate end to fighting on Lebanon. Much of Iran's proxy army is at risk of being defeated.

I’m so glad to see that people who were fired over their comments about Charlie Kirk are getting big payouts. www.npr.org/2026/06/23/n...

Maybe Collins congratulating herself for placing Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court had something to do with this?

Khanna will have to answer for allying himself with Marge Greene.

They should now name it The Donald J Trump Memorial Center for Green Goo

NEWS The Trump DOJ appeals the ruling dismissing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's indictment for vindictive prosecution.

The DSA is proudly extremist -e.g., following the Putinist party line, one newly minted nominee strongly favored abandoning Ukraine to Russian invasion - but I agree that base D voters are neither extremists nor opponents of democracy. And that is a critical difference.

The Lehigh Valley is moving out of the GOP's grip, and with it will go Pennsylvania. Trump's shambolic appearance yesterday will only, very deservedly, hurt Mackenzie.

101 former judges have asked New York disciplinary authorities to investigate Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, alleging ethics violations tied to his conduct at DOJ. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The claim that Mamdani and the DSA are not deeply obsessed with Israel is deeply absurd. AntiIsraelism is a central plank of the party and its ideology; a failure of accept any element of the extreme eliminationist position re Israel is grounds for expulsion, as well as criticism of allies. See AOC.

Unfortunately, several of these candidates were not critical of the Israeli government - like their opponents and many Jewish Americans - but rather critics of the continued existence of Israel.

Is the lame duck poisoning ducks?

Marge Greene previously said she would be allying with Ro Khanna. Will Tucker be joining them? 1/

What happened with Poetica Coffee this weekend does not reflect the New York City I know and love. We’re better than that. In difficult times like these, we must come together and fight for the future we all deserve.

Trump -- who began his political career with demeaning, racist attacks on Barack Obama -- is entering the final stretch of his utterly failed presidency with the most embarrassing disaster conceivable: A desperate attempt to eke out a far worse version of Obama's deal with Iran

The Trump era began -- and is now beginning to end -- in the shadow of a former President who struck a far better deal with Iran without firing a shot, and who presided over a reflecting pool with far, far less algae.

After DOJ said nope to judge's invitation to have officials certify under penalty of perjury that the $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund plan won't happen, judge makes good on her vow to set a schedule (with evergreen caveat that nothing is set in stone pending motions) Prev: buff.ly/tx6nYQX

Narrator: Art of the Deal was actually written by Tony Schwartz who has said "lying is second nature to" Trump.

Carlson is all for the Know Nothing Party.

As well as being just, this is also clever, as North Korean troops will recognise the new route to defection, NK leadership and loyal officials will recognise the risk, and the fighting efficiency of those sent there will be reduced by the effort of trying to guard against defection.

Jews don't "enable" antisemitism. Antisemites do.

It is an R&B album. But it is also a great yacht rock album.

Truth. Under Ayn Rand accolyte Greenspan, the Fed pursued an anti-regulatory policy that effectively encouraged mortgage lending abuses -- during the run up to the great recession.
