The Senate has voted down Whitmore's crime bill 56-43 with a lone abstained vote. Whitmore had campaigned hard around this legislation and took over two years to really come together. The vote not being along partisan lines is a crushing blow to his reelection hopes in the coming months.

Oh hey look the Mexican fan base is still doing homophobia en masse. Cool. Great for soccer and the world.

Nehls on how House GOP will make case for affordability back home: Nehls: What are you talking about? I'm gonna get me lobster tails. Some nice rib eyes. Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford that? Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe they don't work as hard as me.

Kylian Mbappé at the men's World Cup: ◽️ 18 games ◽️ 17 goals (second most ever) ◽️ 9 knockout goals (most ever) Oh, and he's only 27 years old.

Will go down as the greatest player ever. Messi is only keeping the seat warm.

Talarico leading by 32 among Latinos is big: Trump's inroads among Texas Hispanics were supposed to herald a big realignment. In this poll, 60 percent of Latinos *strongly* disapprove of Trump on immigration. That's astounding. Trump pissed away those gains bigly: newrepublic.com/article/2125...

Their whole redistricting theory was that Latino voters who voted for Trump in 2024 would keep voting the same way

He's a political candidate who has put himself in front of the entire nation. People get to make judgments.

So he's gonna advocate for all people with depression to get four months off for rehabilitation, right? And he's gonna tell RFK jr to fuck off with his quest to limit the medication that Kean is very clearly taking to be functional?

a hearty fuck you to everyone that voted to demonize an exceedingly small number of girls over, I don’t know, keeping a grifting, decaying, gutter racist civilly liable for r*pe out of the white house

There are almost no trans girls playing sports and if you really wanted to tackle inequality you would address parental spending but who am I to rain on a culture-war parade? Me, last year: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

expand the court. no more half measures. this is intolerable.

See, people always want to make this just about "sports," but the real upshot here is that, 6-3, trans women can't make a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. And if they can't do that, it's hard to see how they have constitutional rights.

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

This is just flat-out criminal. {gift link} www.nytimes.com/2026/06/28/w...

AOC: “The problem is that these big companies think they are governments – they want to be governments. They want to have totally unchecked power I believe that we need to pursue antitrust. We need to break up a lot of these companies that are far too big - & we need consumer protections for ppl”

Thank you Stephen Miller for logging on to make sure everyone knows you're behind this racist effort. Shame on you, the President, and your klan of bigoted henchmen. America has always, and will continue to be, a nation of immigrants long after you and your cronies are gone.

GOP Gov. Mike DeWine: "It is not in the United States' interest, certainly not in Ohio's interest, to have people who are working every single day, who are supporting a family, buying houses, and really are contributing, and yank them out."

I want Russians to walk out of Crimea the same way people had to flee occupied Mariupol – on foot. I want our drones flying overhead the whole time. And I want it to be 40°C. Thank you. Amen.

Mamdani just showed up at Penn Station, wristbands in hand, helping World Cup fans find their trains like it was nothing. Panama vs England, MetLife bound, and the mayor was just out there in the crowd. No big deal. Very big deal.

Ossoff: "The president was so humiliated in Hormuz he threw his toys out the stroller & refused to sign the affordable housing bill. That's after he gave some felon donor a no bid contract for the reflecting pool & it filled up with algae, which for some reason required the deployment of the Guard."

Checked an item of the bucket list today. Pretty cool to do it at home too. Allez Les Bleus! 🇫🇷

Rep. Rich McCormick on abortion: "This is the trick that the Democrats always like to lay out, and it's so clever: 'What about the life of the mother?'"

With seven decisions with the *same* 6-3 lineup over the last three days, I really can't wait for all of the hot takes from the folks who keep insisting that #SCOTUS *isn't* defined by its ideological division.

@kenwhite.bsky.social I hope you change your mind. Your posts were unfailingly entertaining and often illuminating.

This notion that Europe, and only Europe, has old buildings is ridiculous obviously. But even if we grant that you for some reason cannot install a window unit, and for some reason cannot install central AC, why aren’t you installing a floor unit?

Ok you guys. Here’s the deal. The M7.1 in Venezuela was upgraded to a M7.2. AND it was followed shortly by a M7.5. Not good.

Political fortunes turn quickly and unpredictably. But seems to me more like a number of congressional Democrats (including possibly Jeffries) are going to have to decide if they want to get right with Mamdani.

I, like you, am tired of I-talked-to-a-Trump-voter-in-a-diner stories. But newly published research that involved weeks of contact with conservatives and their communities offered some novel insights that I hadn't considered. So I wrote about it. Gift link: shorturl.at/3FeaO
