They don’t care about fertility any more than they cared about women’s sports. They want to own women and children as property. The only real fascist goal is domination. They have no other. The rest is just whatever lie they’re currently telling to disguise that fact.

In 2018, Trump gutted the US pandemic research team stationed in China. By January of 2021, more than 4,000 Americans were dying every day from COVID 19.

When journalists asked me "where we will see the effects of DOGE on outcomes?" one of my responses was "during crises...as long as media connect the dots." Well, dots connected: www.wired.com/story/cdc-cy...

Just after Independence Day, I started thinking about national symbols. Who defaces them, and who becomes them. So I went back to the beginning and wrote about Sean Dunn, aka Sandwich Thrower Guy, and the sandwich he threw - an American Hero: buttondown.com/theswordandt...

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply

*watching Silo* Me: Hmmm they can't go outside because the air is poison. Sounds horrible

There’s something very dystopian about an authoritarian president letting the country know he’s planning on rigging elections and the main takeaway from people is either that he was boring or that they didn’t watch it. Everything feels so out of fucking whack right now.

BoFA deez executives are probably pretty bad

"ICE has been re-proritized" to track election fraud. So the first excuse for having ice at the polls.

The beautiful game. The people’s game. Throughout this World Cup, we have been reminded of a simple truth: football belongs to everyone. So does the joy and community it creates. Yesterday, I joined New Yorkers on Rikers Island to watch England take on Argentina.

Here's a gift link to my latest NYT travel piece, 36 Hours in Bruges. Brugge is a charming town with a lot going on, including an excellent new art space, Brusk (esp. the Bigger Picture exhibit). Cool bars, cafes & restaurants. Plus Greet Verbeke’s curios & antiques. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

i have always believed cats had the gift of prophecy

What a graphic. @cnn.com #$NVDA #$TSLA #$AEO

This is fun jasminedevv.github.io/AQI2cigarett...

Trump's big document release tonight, supposedly meant to prove China stole the 2020 election, includes this classified intel graphic making clear that Russia was the only country trying to meddle in American voting systems.

BREAKING: Investigators have linked Taylor Farms lettuce supplied to Taco Bell to the parasitic outbreak that has sickened thousands across the country. More than 4,300 cases have already been reported in Michigan alone.

#StayReadyCrew 🚨🚨🚨Here is information without a paywall. www.abc12.com/news/health/...

literally the last person to balance the budget was a Democrat and republicans have increased the deficit for over 4 decades

"He got brain damage and immediately became Republican" is a pretty good summary of our age

"Stop criticizing us or will keep murdering people" is just a jaw-dropping thing for a government official to say.

this administration is so corrupt even the teleprompter guy is making six figures on insider trading

Hey man, it’d be cool if we oriented our entire national strategy around me never having to hear this piece of shit talk ever again

like I dunno, if I were a strategist in a functional opposition party I might pay smart and creative people to make viral TikTok and Instagram videos pointing out Republicans are illegally turning U.S. local broadcast TV into a right wing propaganda machine but that's just me

It's 2020 redux: wash your groceries and wear a mask

It's not just the cyclospora outbreak, it's not just gutting the FDA, the right is fundamentally pro-diarrhea. Vote for brown shirts, get brown pants

"What the federal government has been doing to people assumed to be immigrants is different from normal police brutality. It is a targeted campaign. We are witnessing, for the first time since Jim Crow, American death squads."

every time trump is president you gotta wash your groceries

NYC Bar opposes the nomination of one of its own members, Todd Blanche, to be attorney general, saying he lacks the basic professional integrity that the position demands. A stinging and very detailed assessment. www.nycbar.org/reports/oppo...

Trump claimed during the 2024 campaign that he wanted to leave abortion to the states. His pick for Attorney General, and his former personal lawyer, just said a nationwide abortion ban is on the table

ICE has shot and killed 10 people since Trump came back into office. 2 more in the last week. In addition, 50 people have died in ICE detention. ICE has become a killing machine. We cannot let this feel normal. It isn't.

Sen. Booker to Todd Blanche: "Your nomination should fail. The Attorney General's client is not the president, it's the American people. You've been protecting one person for most of your career…You should not be confirmed to this job."

Good job everybody on the "AI is legit, there are good use cases" conversation. We could've headed this whole thing off at the pass but instead we get this. Between AI being considered real and not a scam with Musk/Altman at the controls and a captured SCOTUS, it's gonna be bad I think

Another "unprecedented" moment in the Trump 2.0 era A US Attorney General nominee has taken the oath for confirmation hearings at the Senate, 36 hours after a judge referred that nominee to the New York bar for disciplinary review

This morning, I was notified of another death in ICE custody. This is the 53th death on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term. We must continue to fight for accountability for everyone who has lost a loved one. And it’s time to end the use of all for-profit detention centers.

There it is. Todd Blanche is Donald Trump’s lawyer—not YOURS.

in a lot of ways the current republican government is just the worst, extractive red state governance taken national. total hostility to public goods, total indifference to long-term investment, and a monomaniacal interest in using the state to enrich private benefactors

If Mad magazine was still at its height they would have ended JD Vance's career by doing a parody called “Hillbilly Smellegy” in 2016, this is why they want to neutralize real journalism

In America today, the wealthiest 1% is now worth more than the entire American middle class. That never happened before.

The women who are rejecting them know they voted for a national order where they are second class citizens, and why would you want to be with anyone who thought about you that way? (Unless you thought it was biblically ordained?)

$81 billion in tariffs you paid given to companies.

An incredible euphemism here for “the government is doing illegal discrimination”

NEW: A 28-year-old man died Tuesday morning following an encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations agents in St. Augustine, marking the third death involving ICE in a week.

2 National Guard soldiers assigned to the "Memphis Safe Task Force" killed a man on July 5 Task Force members killed another man on July 8 since April 28, when a court lifted an order blocking the NG deployment, the Task Force has shot & killed at least 4 people ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Here's my Lindsey Graham obit. While most people are focused on his late career villian arc, I will never get over his sneering, hysterical defense of an alleged attempted rapist. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I also wonder how she explained the decision that allowed the felon to end the TPS for Haitian immigrants to her Haitian children. 🤨

Am I supposed to have sympathy for a Supreme Court justice who says she didn’t expect to have to tell her kids what a bulletproof vest is meanwhile, my kids gotta take a bulletproof backpack to school every day in case of a school shooting. zero empathy.

Who doesn't love a bit of gossip?

Another wild scandal that would have consumed any other president’s second term for the growing pile
