I’m ready to trade Joe Kernen for a 2nd round draft pick in 2028.

Basically every national story in politics these days is “unqualified person terrible at job, disaster results; person promoted”

Breaking News: James Handy, an actor in “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Logan” and other films was found stabbed to death, the police said. He was 81.

Republicans just voted to give a $70 billion blank check to Trump’s ICE thugs and placed no checks on the $1.8 billion slush fund for January 6th insurrectionists. They’ll give relief to criminals but none to families.

Elon Musk’s DOGE “planned to mark 2.7 million living people as dead” in a Social Security database as part of a scheme to force immigrants to leave the U.S. As Musk is on the verge of becoming a trillionaire (thanks in part to gov’t contracts), his men plotted against immigrants with gov’t data.

if he's going to have a napoleon complex can we just skip ahead to the exile-on-saint-helena part

love that we’ve invented joyless astrology

Huh. Usually you crash here by hitting the kerb on exit and not having enough traction to turn before bashing the barrier, losing the rear on entry is a bit weirder of a way to end up where he does.

The actual signs, which get much funnier and more damning of the British the more you read. Notably, the first is the only bilingual signing I've seen here to put English first.

Has anyone designed anything more satisfying than the animation of the cards cascading across the screen when you win at Windows Solitaire?

a perfect sketch. one of the funniest things ever put to film, imo youtu.be/n-Bfkc6lZok?...

impressive to slight both Adams *&* Jefferson in one go.

The Kennedy Center is beginning the process of removing references to Trump — a week after a federal judge ruled that his name had been illegally added to the performing arts center.

when women come forward to detail disturbing behavior by a senate candidate, it is the job of journalists to report it out. it is not a hit job.

I’ve been generally of the assumption that platner will beat collins before the latest story, because her favorability is much lower than it’s ever been and the national environment is vastly worse for Rs than 2020, but man I think she survives this and what a disaster for all of us this man is

yeah he’s not going to drop out and it would be absurd to imagine this is the last story that drops between now and october (or now and next week) this fucking sucks, man

Ryan Grim has hit bottom and started to dig.

NEW: I voted against Republicans’ attempt to pass the SAVE America Act – and it failed. We will squash this blatant attempt at voter suppression.

I have finally had a chance to read @masnick.com's bonkers writeup of the bonkers LEGO Bricks and Minifig theft story and my god is it worth your time if you haven't read it already

exactly the right response

well I'm sure *this* latest news is the last bad thing that will come out about the rape enthusiastic serial liar SS tattoo-having failson cheat.

Trump: "A Rally To End All Rallies!" Me: "Promise?"

You can go fuck yourself too, Silver

Not a single word about overseeing intelligence and protecting national security. His most absurd appointment yet.

NEW: When Sen. Andy Kim was hit w/pepper smoke outside the Delaney Hall detention center, standing next to him was a UU minister. She was hit too, as were at least 2 other faith leaders. They're part of a group of faith leaders who've been there for roughly a year. religionnews.com/2026/06/04/p...

You can either make peace with the fact that gender performance is a sucker's game and a lot of your best liberal candidates are going to be sincere nerds or even, gasp, actual ladies, or we can just repeat this unpleasant process forever

"Oh yes! This rough-hewn guy seems like the kind of person a right-wing chud would like! Let's recruit him!" "Oh no! This rough-hewn guy is exactly the kind of person a right-wing chud would like!" Ad infinitum

Let’s be clear, because I see a lot of people glossing over this. These allegations are of domestic abuse and physical violence. You could get an order of protection based on these allegations. Domestic abuse isn’t about “hitting,” it’s about using violence and coercion to control your partner.

Kind of seems there's mounting evidence, between the source who heard him call it "my Totenkopf," the ex-gf who says he called it "my Totenkopf," oh, and the reddit threads where *he* said he knew what a Totenkopf was, that he probably knew what his tattoo was, and, quelle suprise, when he got it.

Two fans involved in a selfie-seeking incident during Game 1 of the NBA finals received lifetime bans from all NBA arenas

this isn't even the first time someone has said he referred to the tattoo as "my totenkopf"

Considering how nearly perfect the recruits are in those states, Schumer's going to come out of this looking a lot better if four or more of them can get elected.

Well, at least this is coming out now instead of October so the DNC and DSCC can focus on NC/OH/IA/AK/TX.

There is rumored to be a WaPo story too so we will see on that. This honestly feels like a worst-case where it’s not enough to cause him to drop out but the drip drip continues.

Here’s the new Platner story. More misogyny and some physical incidents but no sexual assault allegations. Hard to see him dropping out from this even if he probably should tbh

Oh look -- the Secretary of Energy is lying

"How old is that intern," "is she married"

This is all very much not great, and I still can't believe that certain people went full steam ahead with this guy when they went out to recruit a candidate

"we are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be" also applies to people who are pretending to be good

what a lot of rhetoric about "virtue signaling" etc. misses is that idealistic rhetoric shapes subsequent discourse and actions even if the person making it is hypocritical. it really did matter that "all men are created equal" was embedded into our founding, even if it was written by a slaver

Maybe the most well-deserved star of all time
