US inflation is the highest in the G7.

People can suspend their disbelief for hobbits, elves, dragons, and dwarves - so long as none of them are nonwhite: that’s just unbelievable

Farmers in Senegal are welcoming fish into their rice paddies. The hope is they'll fertilize the crop, be a source of food ... and eat the snails that carry parasitic worms.

Impersonating Melania Trump is harder than you'd think

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal. There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

I’ll always remember him as Dr. Grant, Merlin, and Cardinal Wolsey. He will be very missed.

EXCLUSIVE: Mitch McConnell is neither alive nor dead; he is an undead necromancer who absorbs the souls of the living to remain on the fragile boundary between life and death. Also Scott Jennings is lying.

There's one weird trick for torpedoing Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing. It's not the slush fund. It's not the purges. It's not even the pardons. Read the latest from @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social on the vulnerability Democrats can't afford to waste: lnk.thebulwark.com/4pAZ6dX

Already his legacy is summed up as nothing more than an appendage to Trump www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Five facts that you should know about the current Cyclospora outbreak.

This is how you do it. This is what we should be talking about rather than “no one’s doing anything,”

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.

Cast yourself as a villain

And sadly, the non-unanimous vote gives these people hope. It will fuel their cause.

The fact that 3 Supreme Court justices voted to let Trump shred the 14th Amendment to the Constitution is absolutely insane.

Joanne Freeman isn't arguing the Founders were perfect. She's arguing they knew unchecked executive power was dangerous. Her warning is that today's presidency looks a lot closer to what they feared than what they designed.

It’s like an excerpt from everything ever written that was set in a dystopian authoritarian state

There is plenty to love about Philly, but I don’t that sentence is going to be taken very well by the Québécois (unless they have chilled waaaay out over the last decade)

“It looks exactly like the French part of Montreal.” said French fan Tao Taumus, who traveled to Philadelphia for the World Cup.

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

Today we celebrate Juneteenth, the day freedom's news finally reached the last enslaved Americans in Texas, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Justice delayed is justice denied. We honor those before us and recommit to the fight for civil rights and equal justice.

An interesting thread from a month ago that predicted exactly what we’re seeing in the reflecting pool now (peeling up, prolific microbial activity)

It’s important to remember that every single one of the Black women whom this administration has targeted has endured this kind of burden — often with far higher costs, in dollars, in violent threats, in social costs. And the world averts its eyes from the weight they carry from these attacks.

I miss him being president so much!

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.

Ted Lieu: “Dear Sec. Rollins, you keep getting fact checked for your lies. It’s your Administration that cut the Screwworm programs Also, the life cycle of a Screwworm is 14 to 54 days — the Trump Administration has been in office over 500 days. If you can’t stop lying, you need to resign”

This is the HIGHEST inflation rate we've see in 3 years. Everything is more expensive: gas, plane tickets, electricity, groceries, healthcare, rent. We can't afford Trump's America any longer.

Broadview 6, indicted for chanting. "I believe that we will win." (The grand jury didn't indict this week. They had to go back a third time and illegally cajole jurors to leave.)

"For a guy who presented himself as this free speech champion, for him now to go after YouTubers is the peak of weakness. Trump is a fragile, small, petty man. I wear his scorn as a badge of honor. If Trump is so eager to release lists, he should probably start with the one he's on 38,000 times."

My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. 🧵 1/
