We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

Hi hello I was going to do a full thread on the Great American State Fair later but it seems I'm starting early: why in the fuck are PragerU, Patriot Academy, and other far right groups the ENTIRETY of the Department of Education booth

this guy is the co-founder of Airbnb

Looks like Mayor Z's pied a terre tax is not collapsing the real estate market or causing the wealthy to flee Manhattan after all. Indeed, the opposite. Who could have possibly imagined this scenario? www.realtor.com/news/trends/...

Is this what we want the #FBI doing? It's not making our country safer. Nor are premature disclosures of investigations making us safer. It all undermines #trust. #NatSec @thesteadystate.org @johnsipher.bsky.social @kensyring.com @muellershewrote.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Xitter's community notes are working overtime calling out people trying to claim Mamdani's attempts to conserve power is socialist. This one might be my favorite.

👀 FOX (!) On Trump’s Obscene $2 BILLION+ Self-Dealing: “We’re seeing a lot of the MAGA base turning on the president with this. They’re saying ‘Look— he really doesn’t care about us. He’s getting richer, I’m getting poorer.”

Recovering from pneumonia in 110°+ temps is not ideal. 🥵🥵🥵

Nothing says happy birthday USA like imprisoning a Team USA Olympic athlete.

🥵🥵🥵🥵

Trump's Great American State Fair is using our taxpayer dollars, our National Mall and our nation's 250th birthday to promote conspiracy theorists, Christian nationalists, Chinese technology -- and, mostly, Donald Trump. My latest column: www.notus.org/perspectives...

Let's hear it for President Dealmaker, who negotiated and signed USMCA (calling it the “best and most important trade deal ever made"), then ran against it, won, and breached it while asking "who would ever sign a thing like this?' from the same desk where he signed it, and now won't renew it.

Ken Paxton's adulterous tryst in Iceland is all over today's London tabloids... and unreported at home in the media in Texas. How's that possible? www.dailymail.com/news/article...

people got mad at me yesterday when i said the dems were not ready to take court reform seriously. 5-4 for non-racial citizenship is not a win, it's a reprieve bsky.app/profile/schu...

Charlie Sykes called it— the “weekend war” fought between market close on Friday and Market open Monday. The corruption in s breathtaking—check the inside trading…

There are many decisions that are wrong, sometimes egregiously, as to a particular policy issue. But Slaughter belongs next to Trump v. United States as doing deep violence to the constitutional structure itself, profoundly incompatible with the very idea of power being subject to the rule of law.

OMFG. I cannot begin to describe my gasp at how Roberts & co decided to go all in on LOST CAUSE theory & insist that the Reconstruction Congress did Confederate sympathizer President Andrew Johnson wrong by attempting to keep him from destroying Reconstruction www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Dear lord.

The notion that the president has absolute power over creations of Congress is already nuts, with no basis in law, but it reaches utterly absurd when it includes an unwritten "but not when some Supreme Court Justices feel like he's messing with the money" exception.

As with some other things, i suspect if we have another dem president we will discover that the court did not so much transfer power to the executive as to themselves, ie they will find novel bullshit reasons to block a dem president the same way the find novel bullshit reasons to enable trump

That’s the thing about the right wing: once they've exhausted one target, they'll turn on people who were previously part of the “in-group.”

Misspelling freedom feels on brand for this administration.

Getting rid of well-respected high ranking members of the military in order to install loyalists is what you do when you are planning to do the wrong thing and want to make sure the military complies with your orders.

…then he CAVED and flipped his vote on war powers!! The moment a republican looks like they grew a ball sack just wait 30 seconds and you will get the truth yet again on how weak and pathetic these “men“ are

3 for 3.

If you need a smile. Sound on.

Zohran Mamdani and AOC aren’t the main reasons democratic socialists are getting elected. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are the main reasons democratic socialists are getting elected. Eventually, people start to realize who’s keeping them poor.

See, this is what it’s about: not freeing the Cuban people from dictatorship, but looting the country with their pals.

that sound you hear is every too-comfortable incumbent screaming, crying, throwing up

If your 80-year-old grandpa was insisting that the reason the backyard pool has algae in it is because terrorists are trying to make him look bad and demanding the police arrest somebody, you'd put him in a senior care facility before the end of the day.

Sierra’s next drawing

3...2...1... "The sneaky vandal of my perfect Reflection Pool isn't shown on any of the security cameras because, people are telling me, he wore one of those Harry Potter invisibility cloaks. These people are so devious and sneaky, they will stop at nothing—even magic—to make me look incompetent."

Sierra continuing to crush stuff. She drew Deadpool earlier this year for her father. Now, she’s working on Beast.

The same man who will pardon you if you ransack the Capitol and smear your feces on its wall will throw you in jail if you wiggle your fingers in the water of the Reflecting Pool.

Sierra continuing her countdown to X-Men 97 Season 2

Ossoff: While the people pay more than ever for groceries and housing and health care, he builds a monument to himself. While a cancer patient loses health coverage, he adorns his office in gold. Where in Scripture are we commanded to deny care to the sick…

Well... yah, definitely got a point.

Got my dad this shirt and the best of Charley Pride dvd for Father’s Day.

SCOOP: A priest who is close to Trump successfully lobbied him to grant clemency to the fraudster David Gentile. Gentile privately indicated Father Frank Mann was paid for his help. EDNY prosecutors opened an investigation into the commutation. But it was closed by Trump political appointees.

Understand: Trump is having random police departments arrest (or issue citations to) people sticking their hand in the reflecting pool to COVER UP how his corrupt contracting fucked up the reflecting pool. These arrests are a criminal cover-up of Trump's own corruption.

I asked my niece to draw some X-Men to celebrate the upcoming release of X-Men 97 Season 2. She started with Storm.

Sen Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) has been fully captured by the tech bros and has aligned herself with Peter Thiel. Here's how it happened. fortune.com/2026/06/18/t...

NEW — I wanted to know if ICE’s newly uncovered plan to offload seven of the 11 concentration camp warehouses was actually a big deal, so I went straight to the expert: Michael Wriston of @projectsaltbox.com, which has been tracking these warehouses every step of the way. Our full convo here:

Meta is trying to get Congress to get it out of its minor harm lawsuit problem. www.reuters.com/world/meta-l...

What goes unsaid in these heinous stories about denying essential aid is that a 28-year-old DOGE lackey with zero experience named Jeremy Lewin was named Acting Director of the State Department’s Office of Foreign Assistance in April 2025 and still hasn’t had a confirmation hearing.

It kinda got lost in the madness, but the federal conspiracy case against anti-ICE activists in Minnesota - the Minneapolis 15 - is a big deal It's not just the 1st Amendment abuse. It's part of their plan to crush dissent ahead of a stolen election My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...
