Oh hey, man — that shit is only supposed to work in New York.

Anyone else think Roberts is doing a calculated “prevent the pitchforks” operation this time out? Haven’t had time to really look but just the news alerts seem like this session is far less Trump-sweep-y than previous ones.

Goodnight, y’all. youtu.be/AmkMEoVb6rA?...

God I miss Hunter S. Thompson.

Aww, poor James Carville. Honestly have some feels for his seemingly clueless ass. Dude seems genuinely to have only just now come around to the fact that his fellow centrists have been waging war on progressives for decades. youtu.be/e8fd8Rvpwh8?...

Now that was a great night all around: Norway won, Ghana fought the mighty England and Harry Kane to a draw, and best of all, DC and New York elected a broad array of *better* Democrats, not just more of them.

Watching the World Cup and reminded of how much I loathe when athletes say they give the glory to God.

ICE/Geo drove into a demonstrator today.

We have tabulated all the cruelties, collusions, corruptions, and crimes Trump and his administration committed last month. They're up to over 1000 since retaking office. #LestWeForgetTheHorrors

You DON’T say… 🙄 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

For what it’s worth, here’s sports writer Dave Zirin teeing off on chalkboard-wielding right-wing blowhard Glenn Beck’s ethnonationalist anti-soccer/World Cup rant(s)…in 2010. www.huffpost.com/entry/glenn-...

Gotta say, I love the fact that, to this day, if you visit the Wikipedia page of Ron Fournier, two of the primary links in the “related” section are Chris Cilizza and Carl Diggler. 🤣

So I didn’t watch; can someone tell me if there were any big names at Donald Trump’s 250th birthday?

It is encouraging to see mainline, even corporatist Dems starting to come around - or at least recognizing they need to *appear to be* coming around - to what has been the consensus progressive position for some time now.

Klippenstein nails this one.

Grandpa trying to manipulate the market again.

As a fellow Georgian, Rick Jackson is gross as shit; this is the ad she’s talking about. How is it 2026 and angry dumbass dinosaurs like this are still stomping around? youtu.be/-ocp-vmStLE?...

What in the 0.99¢ highlighter fuck is that goddamn tie?

Don't get too excited about Hunter Biden's new social media persona. Looks like another nepo baby crypto grift is afoot...

Christ, you're the governor of the entire state. Shut the building down. It's not sovereign territory like a foreign embassy. Pull the certificate of occupancy. Cut the power. Back it up with state police. Stop coddling fascists and groveling every time they order you around. Act like an American.

Excellent.

So great to have a Democrat back in charge to bring sanity and good judgment back to government. www.amny.com/news/photojo...

I don’t know how much reach this has already gotten, but it should get more: thedreydossier.substack.com/p/i-found-a-...

…says the guy who’s been huffing his own farts since the ‘80s. As it was in his first term, so shall it be now: only their own incompetence and buffoonery will save us, since the current Democrats absolutely will not.

What's involved in talks to end the Iran war? Imma guess groveling mixed with peacock displays of superior military capabilities, mixed with grinding of teeth and - for Pete Hegseth - about a gallon of whisky. www.reuters.com/world/china/...

Memorial Day, so I gotta play this one. And yeah I know it was written by a Canadian about a bunch of Australians and covered by some Irish guys, it I think that makes it more relevant than less, right? youtu.be/cZqN1glz4JY?...

I am very glad Kentucky Democrats chose differently yesterday than they did in 2020. Don’t know if Booker can win this because of how red Kentucky is, but the answer is almost never to try to peel off “independents” by going with a centrist.

So, y’all remember when Mussolini was captured and what came to be called (yes, really) the Dongo treasure on him? This is where we are now. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Between this and the dude from Virginia saying nope, we’re OK with the VA Supreme Court decision, it’s hard not to come away with the distinct impression that Democrats (or at least the “centrist” ones) literally do not *want* to win. Or maybe this IS “winning” to them.

Countdown to Thune, et al ignoring the Senate parliamentarian in 3…2…1…

Some super-embarrassing, clammy, desperate lies from @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social team. Jesus, the internals must be getting grim.

I agree this time, but it would have been exceptionally useful now if said Democrats hadn’t quite literally spent those last 50 years telling everyone that THIS (insert year) election was the most important election of our lives…and then getting elected and delivering bupkis with sprinkles.

No. They would not. And so here we are.

Lemme know how that works out for you, sport www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/i...

In case anyone was wondering how Alan Dershowitz could have decided to become a Republican, it wasn't that he was irritated about being excluded from Martha's Vineyard. Here's a pretty good summary: youtu.be/qW6PBFDcenY?...

I got an email today "from" Liz Cheney, sent out by a PAC supposedly affiliated with LGBT rights, urging me to rush money to Zoe Lofgren's campaign in San Mateo. I don't know who this PAC is, but, misguided or astroturf, it didn't matter to me...

Response threads to skeets from yesterday morning, announcing that Janet Mills has suspended her campaign for Maine Senate, are proving to be inadvertently excellent blocklists.

Let’s talk about general strikes, baby!!!
