Here's an excerpt: With no soccer or Phillies tonight you have plenty of time to read the whole thing and tell me what you think

all these statements make me ill... totally tone deaf to be praising election denier/2020 election thief, advocate of forever wars, enabler of Trump. Can they ever just shut the eff up?

If you don’t want to see a collection of Lindsey Graham jokes and memes, probably don’t watch the Beans Talk video podcast tomorrow.

What could be less civil than to lie to someone? Civility demands the truth. It is up to us, in our lifetimes, to shape what is said after we're gone. www.thedailybeast.com/lets-remembe...

Around Trump are a group of people across the administration, federal agencies, right-wing media and the online right who are convinced their work is revolutionary, and who view their opponents not as ordinary patriotic citizens with different views but as an existential threat to the country.

“No matter how cognitively impaired & reckless the convicted felon becomes, he will never become less cruel, cheap or hostile to justice and the rule of law. It will take…every one of us to push back & overcome the tragedy of a man like this and his enablers.” www.americaamerica.news/p/this-night...

Get Wydenpilled.

Keep in mind this is for a public, taxpayer-financed law school North Carolina is again using black folks' taxes to fund black exclusion

This is one of the outcomes of Slaughter. While Slaughter did not allow this, it told Trump to keep pushing his power grab by firing people he has no right to fire, on the assumption that SCOTUS would probably bail him out.

This is pretty similar to how Trump views women and sex. He wants what he wants and he'll try to get what he wants & he'll try different angles until he gets it or something stops him. Don't mean this as a cheeky analogy. This is his mind. He doesn't think in rules or limits. It's appetites & force.

The US Atomic Energy Act (Sec 123) allows the US to send nuclear material to a partner nation only if the partner nation agrees to international agency inspections of ALL of their nuclear materials & activities, not just US-supplied items. The Trump admin is considering a workaround for Israel…1/

"Please say his name — Lorenzo Salgado Araujo — and take to the streets and demand justice. His death is just as deserving of our time and our moral outrage, if not more so." Read @willbunch.bsky.social on this heartbreaking killing in Houston.

Jack Smith had a SOLID case against trump, including witnesses who were trump's supporters, high ranking officials who campaigned and voted for him. Hard to believe that fucker got away with January 6th, and pardoned 1,500 cop-beating thugs. Disgusting.

18 year term limits. Expand the court. Save America.

It's not only possible that progressives picked the wrong horse to be on in Maine but that centrist/establishment Dems also did with Mills. Time to get this right please: A next generation candidate who can win, can fight and who is the anti-Collins and the anti-Trump. (Strong and honest.)

Roy Cohen’s boy, Trump, has been calling Dems communists for years. It’s the tiredest thing this Kremlin loving wanna-be-Stalin hack could come up with.

As America marks 250 years, may we recommit to building a diverse democracy, an economy that works for the many and not just the few, and a future where every generation has the opportunity to live a dignified life. Happy 4th of July!

Proud to be an American. True patriotism is defending the Constitution, protecting our democracy, and striving for liberty and justice for all. Our country has never been perfect, but its promise is worth protecting. Happy 4th of July. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

"When Trump wanted to merge US and Russian cybertechnology in 2017, Congress rightly saw it as a national security threat and rejected it. But when Israel wants a more dangerous military merger, most of Congress abides." On Section 224: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/stop-colla...

"Patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent."

For America: 🎂? #MakeAmericaNormalAgain 🇺🇸

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.

Jacob Helberg—who was an advisor at Peter Thiel’s Palantir before joining Trump’s State Department—recently criticized the European “digital sovereignty” movement, which advocates independence from US tech. He claims that proponents of the movement misunderstand the term “sovereignty”. Sure, Jan. 1/

Every single person hired by this admin needs to be fired immediately once we have a new one. (Thanks SCOTUS!) I realize this will be rough because they've already fired all the best people and we'll be short-handed, but no one hired during these four years can be trusted.

So judges orders are optional now?

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

i’ve seen a lot of great world cup posts but pencils down we have a winner

totally tracks that people with a demonstrated lack of object permanence think deleting something from the internet makes it disappear

The explosion of MAGA rage at birthright citizenship ruling confirms again that MAGA is really a movement for ethnic cleansing. As we discuss on the pod, it's telling that sealed border and end to TPS/asylum don't sate MAGA. They want dramatic ethnic purges. Listen: newrepublic.com/article/2125...

In his concurrence, Kavanaugh suggested that Trump’s order violated the law, but not the Constitution. It raised an obvious option that Trump and Republicans are already salivating over: changing the law.

Perhaps we could have kept the capital gains rate increase for multi millionaires and billionaires instead of Carney scrapping it? Maybe then we could have ~afforded~ to save the fucking climate!!

This guy, not Schumer, should be Senate Majority Leader in the next Congress

In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office. If you defy the plain words, meaning, intent, history, precedent of a black letter constitutional injunction u are abusing your power and should be removed.

"The pairing of Pulte and Norton is an alarm bell that the national intelligence team under Trump will have one job: investigating fantastical 'foreign election plots' that will be cited to justify radical measures"

This new “Defense Policy Board” includes multiple people closely tied to Peter Thiel’s network, including Marc Andreessen, Blake Masters, Theo Wold, and Michael Anton. 1/ bsky.app/profile/jenn...

I’m sure it’s fine. Frank Bisignano— who reportedly oversaw a program at JP Morgan in the 2010s to spy on JP Morgan employees using software from Peter Thiel’s Palantir—is both the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration & the CEO of the Internal Revenue Service under Trump 2.0. 1/

This is what happens when you put your hotel pool repair guy in charge of setting up your nation’s 250th celebratory fair.

Trump bought up to $5M in Axon stock, a taser company, two weeks before ICE sought a contract for tasers. He’s also bought stock in Palantir, Dell, and Nvidia — all of whom have been awarded massive government contracts. Has a president ever profited so brazenly from the office?

Anyway, if anyone wants to make a REAL documentary about the FULL story of Stan Lee based on TRUE BELIEVER, my line is open: josie.zone/true-believer

I somehow missed that the documentary Stan Lee's final assistant, Jonathan Bolerjack, made about Stan's last years got distribution I am, uhhhh, skeptical, to say the very least, about this film, given the things Bolerjack said to me on the record for TRUE BELIEVER 1/x

"Captain America’s Bicentennial Battles tabloid... Kirby and Whitman search for America in conflict, in difference, in challenge, in contradiction, in the best and the worst, they fight for an ideal, to identify what has been lost and to restore it." occasionalmurmurings.blogspot.com/2026/06/let-...

About as rough a week for Canadian privacy as I can remember from the government: mandated age verification without privacy review, pushing the Privacy Commissioner out of private sector privacy, and passing lawful access without debate or a recorded vote

This was a very bad week for privacy in Canada.

... We've heard hundreds of policy proposals tonight. How many of those are significantly, realistically possible as long as Donald Trump is president? As long as this corrupt regime is here, the priority has to be to impeach, convict, and remove him. ...

Nothing will ever convince me that JD Vance believes in Jesus Christ or Catholicism. This creature of pure ambition—who has had so many names—wears masks to attain power. Behold the avatar of Thiel, “hillbilly” hater of the poor, anti-Christian to the bone. www.thenerdreich.com/communion-ho...

If Todd Blanche refuses to rescind the $1.8B slush fund in writing, then you can bet I’m not dropping my lawsuit
