This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

Point. Blank. Period.

“As they came closer to escape, I found it hard to concentrate on anything other than getting them out,” George Packer writes of his attempts to help an Afghan family reach safety. “But every day threw an unreasonable, enraging obstacle in their path.”

One of the VERY FIRST things done after the Constitutional Convention in 1787 was to have the text of the new Constitution translated into Dutch and German, which were at the time the two largest non-English language spoken in the United States. Here's the National Archives making this point:

Hey, JD, here's some low-hanging fruit for your anti-fraud campaign.

Zero percent chance anyone in Trump’s entourage knew what he meant without ChatGPT filling them in.

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

There are so many Black self-liberation stories like this - just the coolest shit anyone’s done & I truly believe that if America liked stories of revolutionaries or rebels defeating elites as much as we used to act like we do we would have mined these types of stories more for film & television.

This is why the midterms are critical. If we vote in a Democratic Governor a lot of this can be fixed. The primaries are KEY here. Two Dem candidates are running together to unseat two incumbents on the GA Supreme Court. This primary right NOW is the only time to vote for them for 6 yrs.

When white supremacists described the first black politicians winning elections in the South during Reconstruction, they too called it a "reign of terror" that innocent white people had to suffer under. Black leaders! Elected to federal office! Can you imagine the indignity?!

This. All of this. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Repubs want to spend $1 billion on Trump's dance hall. Dr. Annie Andrews wants to put that money to work for South Carolina: paying teachers, funding SNAP, building roads in bridges. She'll work for the people of South Carolina, not Trump. Elect Dr. Annie Andrews U.S. Senate, South Carolina

I need a good explainer on proportional representation. Help?

Oh sure when Alexander cuts a knot the hoomans call him Great but when a doggo does lateral thinking everypawdy has an issue

I saw these headlines and thought "oh well some jerk wrote a form letter to a kid's letter that's dumb" but no it appears that one of the worst people in Congress took time out of her day to talk shit to a 10 y/o and tell him he should be more worried about debt and school propaganda than climate

The Trump administration Justice Department is working to settle a $10,000,000,000 lawsuit Donald Trump launched against his own administration. The outcome could mean billions in taxpayer money going to Trump or special IRS treatment for Trump, his family, and his businesses.

One of my favorite pics in US history, I only saw it at the Civil Rights exhibit at the Nobel Museum in Stockholm. A freed slave, sitting outside a slave auctions house, with his own gun, reading a book.

Hi, actual Jew here running to unseat Lawler so that Rand Paul's antisemite son can try this shit on me. mikesacksforcongress.com

Jeffrey Epstein was enabled not just by the powerful men around him, but by the failure of Alex Acosta to pursue charges against Epstein’s network. These men are the reason hundreds of women and girls were abused, and we are not stopping until we bring them to justice.

Burgum called 19 fancy fountains a federal “emergency” to justify a no‑bid contract. Real emergencies like fires, floods, and collapsed bridges wait. Trump’s priorities in one headline.

So, the only POTUS since Nixon who wouldn’t release his tax returns sued the US Govt for 10 Billion Is having his “Acting AG” who is his personal Lawyer settle the case with him It’s all in the open

Biden ! Biden ! Biden ! They really need to come up with something new

It was great joining @jamestalarico.bsky.social and @ginafortexas.bsky.social today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor. Let’s get it done, Texas!

RICK RUBIN on why Hollywood keeps making soulless movies: "So many big movies are just not good because they're being made by people trying to make something they think someone else is going to like. That's not how art works. That's commerce."

PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying that he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation? Rep. McGovern: Is anybody surprised? I’ve been saying all along that Trump doesn’t give a shit about the people of this country.
