just can not shake the feeling that democratic leadership really believes they are just a couple votes away from the halcyon times of enjoying senate softball and seersucker suit day

Oh fuck not again

one of the most obvious lies imaginable (that wasn’t reported as such by our political press corps)

Essentially, when you install a Ring you’ve become a volunteer cop.

Only an asshole would be a friend of Jeffrey Epstein and an enemy of Canada.

Donate if you can!

I am so very tired of every single thing being so fucked

Las Vegas- I’m headlining Wise Guys July 25/26 hope to see you there

Pals! I’m headlining at Wise Guys in Las Vegas this weekend- July 25/26 hope to see you there!

So Trump has been directly or indirectly responsible for canceling Colbert, PBS and NPR all in the span of one week? Are people awake to what’s happening yet?

Over 120 mRNA cancer trials are now at risk as the Trump admin cuts funding & tells researchers to scrub “mRNA” from grant proposals. What started as COVID fearmongering is now derailing life-saving cancer research. Hope remains - but scientists say time is running out. zurl.co/YBGNy

I was skeptical that the MAGA majority on the Supreme Court would ever rule that Trump could run for president again but after today’s ruling I think they’d probably roll over and do that too.

It's time to mark their foreheads 😄

omfg

This is so cool.

This.

Stock up on masks! These ppl dont give a fuck.

This response is why I dont post jokes on bluesky. Please unfollow for less!

Trump’s bill is a DIRECT attack on women but not in the ways anyone seems to be discussing It’s over for single women.

With what Republicans are about to hand to ICE we could instead end school lunch debt, hire enough teachers, and keep the childcare system afloat www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“right to exist” like they’ll be executed if he wins. How about “do people have the right to amass more than one billion dollars?”

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.

Anything for their goddamned billionaires.

Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget warns that the Republican bill will hasten the insolvency of Social Security and Medicare.

Josh is so funny, smart, original. Everything I want to be as a comic. Check out his special on YouTube:

This story will definitely make you cry. Sweet pup Gilbert was killed with his humans, and now is being honored and remembered next to them at the Minnesota state capital. The family’s request: go pet a dog, preferably a Golden, but any dog will do. Rest well, Gilbert. You were the best boy. 💙

Tapper writes this without acknowledging that Milk himself served in the US Navy during the Korean War, or that Milk was assassinated while serving honorably in public office

New York City is reminding Americans that you don't have to vote for the accused sexual abuser just because he runs for office again.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

Very much worth your time. youtu.be/7726WoO7mTM?...

Oh wow I remember Get Your War On.

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm. Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

AOC during Zohran for Mayor rally: "There are people out there who say, 'If you go out and make this endorsement, your political career will be over.' And to that I say: I don't care. We will never get to a better place if everyone is just worried about themselves. If it's over, so be it."

A single observation that explains both our vulnerability to generative AI and the general phenomenon of billionaires.

I count 49 news headlines on the NYT mobile app home page right now, not including opinion, sports or cooking. None of them are about the massive protests yesterday.

If you’re in LA in a public space this month and someone tries to get you to sign a petition about wages and voting DO NOT SIGN IT. this is businesses trying to repeal an ordinance that increases wages for workers in hospitality spaces ahead of the Super Bowl, World Cup, & Olympics. Do not sign!

more of this keep at them

Pope Leo’s first US episcopal appointment, San Diego’s Bishop-designate Pham, a Vietnamese refugee, invites priests and faith leaders to “stand in solidarity”with migrants at courthouse on June 20, as they make court appearances.

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

It's crazy to me that we have on video that cop just deciding to randomly shoot at the back of an Australian journalist while she was reporting, but this level of injuries isn't raising a hell of a lot more concern than the flaming Waymos.

🧵 NYC: Zohran Mamdani is an extraordinary political talent and he CAN win this. What a signal that would send to the country and to the world. If you have been on the fence, this is the moment to go all in.
