Trump’s GOP is trying to remake the wnba over into wwe’s image. Racist stereotypes, symbolic race wars, and everyday eugenics. it’s a sign of how popular the sport is and how captured everything is. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j...

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

I'm been wondering if it would come to this and apparently it has. huge move from cloudflare, which hosts a fifth of all websites on earth.

It's becoming the case that it costs more for a business to deploy AI and fire human workers than it does to keep the human workers around. That could be an economic death knell for the whole technology. From me. prospect.org/2026/07/08/g...

DAWG WE'RE DOING STATE-RUN GAS PRICES AT PRICE CONTROLLED RATES DESPITE INCREASING SHORTAGES TO PACIFY THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEIR OPPONENTS WANT COMMUNISM I AM GOING TO LOSE MY ENTIRE GODDAMN MIND

American reporters watching this, shaking their heads in horror, no, no, you can’t ask this, no

Trump: "We had 11 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan"

When the govt of a nation founded on religious liberty has been taken over by Christian Nationalists, abusing state power to impose their anti-Constitutional vision, I’d like an opposition party leader to speak the truth about history instead of adopting the Cristian Nationalists’ preferred fiction.

ICE just spent $1.5 BILLION to purchase two massive prisons in California it was already using for detention, in an effort to avoid oversight from the state, which has been pressuring the private prison company that owned them. CoreCivic will continue operating the facilities.

To anyone considering helping President Trump interfere with our election or our count: You will be prosecuted. That’s why I’m moving forward with new legislation that would make it a FELONY to seize ballots before the vote has been certified by state and county officials.

nice to have the methodology spelled out here. If we lose we say it was rigged.

Now I'm just a simple country lawyer but this guy sounds like a criminal

Gov. Beshear should demand proof of life. If his state has lost a senator, its people deserve to know and deserve a replacement. The seat doesn‘t belong to the Republican Party.

I ran an absolutely 100% human, zero AI-involvement at any stage passage of my writing through an "AI detector," curious if it could really tell human from AI work, and it said my own writing was "84% AI written" then asked I wanted to pay to have it "humanized." So there's that to keep in mind.

maybe it’s a bad idea to teach your followers that any science that conflicts with doing exactly what they want to do is bullshit

Xitter's community notes are working overtime calling out people trying to claim Mamdani's attempts to conserve power is socialist. This one might be my favorite.

He's been indicted for vandalism--destruction of public property--for touching a piece of sealant DJT wants to prove there were vandals--so he won't be blamed for the mess So they're creating them For Hearn's version: www.google.com/search?q=vid... www.nytimes.com/2026/07/02/u... [Gift article]

JUST POSTED: A large chunk of the $2 billion haul President Trump took in last year came as hundreds of thousands of his fans bet on a #$TRUMP memecoin. Trump won big. His followers, financially at least, were big losers as Trump profited at their expense. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

NEW: Most Supreme Court Rulings Are Secretive Votes With Little Justification ProPublica conducted a new analysis that shows the court is deciding more consequential rulings than ever before in largely unsigned orders with little to no explanation.

I linked it bc it raises a VERY important Q. Trump not only kept giving ES gigs after that truly epic humiliation, he formalized that relationship, wildly expanding the graft for ES. Why would he reward that kind of failure on an event that Trump wanted so badly? emptywheel.net/2026/06/29/t...

the egg price thing under biden was all fake lol

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.

Weird how this never applies to the Second Amendment.

Court can't go on like this. The Constitution as plainly as possible says people who were born here have an unequivocal right to citizenship. Four people whose ONLY job is to read the Constitution for the rest of their lives just tried to overturn it because they're tired of brown people. Pack it.

5-4 for what it explicitly says in the constitution is incredible. They were this close to undoing the civil war entirely. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

There are many decisions that are wrong, sometimes egregiously, as to a particular policy issue. But Slaughter belongs next to Trump v. United States as doing deep violence to the constitutional structure itself, profoundly incompatible with the very idea of power being subject to the rule of law.

Yes, Congress should be able to do these things. A court this contemptuous of Congress deserves to be packed by Congress, not only to correct these disastrous precedents but also because Congress needs to show both Article II and Article III who’s boss.

Quick 🧪 and law note. The SCOTUS decision in Slaughter today has *profound* implications for US science, cancer cures and the economy. Sotomayor dissent: “Put simply, today the majority reshapes our Government… shifting tremendous power over broad swaths of American life into the President’s hands”

The reflecting pool debacle is a marvelous illustration of the interconnection between autocracy, illiberalism and incompetence. Trump broke the pool. Lied abt it. Said it was violent outside agitators. Now he’s created a vast security perimeter to prevent people from getting near it.

Now is the time to stand up before it’s too late. Most Americans support the separation of church and state because it protects everyone’s freedom. We can’t let a vocal Christian nationalist movement dismantle that.

The new racist double standard set up by Alito in the TPS ruling: if there’s any other motive in addition to the racism, the racism doesn’t count, but if the state wants to *prevent* discrimination against black people, that is racist and unconstitutional www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Getting rid of well-respected high ranking members of the military in order to install loyalists is what you do when you are planning to do the wrong thing and want to make sure the military complies with your orders.

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

‘President of Peace’ U.S. forces remain engaged in hostilities against Iran. And Trump continues to violate the U.S. Constitution, especially after the historic vote by both houses of Congress opposing this illegal, unconstitutional war.

Every Supreme Court ruling

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

By a 6 to 3 vote, the high court ruled that that federal law allows the government to to stop asylum-seekers from physically setting foot in the United States, effectively keeping them from applying for asylum.

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...
