PM of Albania having a good laugh with President of Azerbaijan and Macron about Trump repeatedly claiming that he ended the war between their two countries which were not at war with each other.

Damn

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

With the Sox up 3-1, 2 outs in the 9th, bases loaded for the Yankees, @espn switched to Reds-Dodgers. Only for a half-second, but I noticed.

In light of today’s absolutely fucking deranged “I’m in a war movie” speeches by Trump and Hegseth, I give you the plaque at West Point.

Opinion: Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth held an expensive military meeting-that-could-have-been-an-email hours before the government is likely to shutdown.

This is untrue.

No. They don't need 60 votes. They can change that rule with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to advance 48 trump nominees at once. bsky.app/profile/muel...

😅😅😂

Got home just in time to see the #Jets fumble at the 1 yard line. 😍

Cora: It’s New York against Boston. It’s going to be big.

You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)? Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next. www.npr.org/2025/08/09/n...

A new email to Director Bhattacharya this morning. 1/n

This shutdown fight is surreal to me. Apparently both the Republicans and the Democrats are pushing the idea that some kind of agreement between the two parties is necessary or there will be a government shutdown. This is only true if one stipulates a GOP faction that will vote against anything.

Note to myself to read more about this.

Check out all the leftist (checks notes) CEOs!

Wait - so which Portland is "under siege by Antifa" again? Oregon? Maine? Connecticut? Apparently WI and CO have two each. I get the Wisconsin part, since it's on the Lakes, but how can CO have one port, much less two?

So much winning. Maybe putting an emotional child in power wasn't a good idea?

Wouldn't be surprised if the grand jury did not wish to indict Comey at all, but the USA fudged the paperwork.

this needs to be hammered into the skulls of every elite individual and institution on every measure - reputationally, financially, morally - you come out better if you fight the guy stand up! it’s the right thing to do and better for you in every way! how often does that happen?

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI has fired agents photographed kneeling during 2020 racial justice protest, AP sources say.

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in a Democrat who won her election in a landslide just so he can block a vote on the Epstein files. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

If only there were a way to compare different theories and decide which is best....

Dear @washingtonpost.com I saw today as I was at the library that you've given Donald Trump two different stories that both treat his blatantly false statements about science what can most charitably be described as "both-sides" treatment. When Trump says Tylenol causes autism, he is wrong. (1/?)

"Well, there's your problem..." #DonaldTrump #Escalator #UnitedNations

I love this so much!!! www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

This is going to be in my head all day. IYKYK

I saw this yesterday. Just one of the ways they're trying to conto the narrative.

I trust ACOG far more than I trust Trump and Kennedy.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Opinion | The woke left violated Disney’s right to free speech by forcing the company to put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air

So now we know the company that owns Tylenol didn’t buy any Trump crypto.

You can’t spell FUNERAL without FUND RAISING

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

Kirk’s phrase “false God of a race-obsessed modernity” has a certain ring to it, but I don’t think it accurately describes MLK’s vision.

Sure, they could have fallen on the ball there to win, but the #Eagles wisely returned the blocked FG for a TD and thereby covered the spread.

I’m sure someone could provide a worse three paragraphs of “analysis” in this moment, but Peter Baker really sets the bar low here — with what he opined, who he decided to rely on as a source, and why he included those absurd claims without refutation.

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

#AL pennant race with 8 days to go: 7 teams within 5 games of each other. If I ignore the Blue Jays, 6 teams within 3 games of each other. Tigers have lost 5 in a row and Guardians have won 10 in a row. Tigers looked like best team in league early in the season, by far. Not any longer.

You know what didn’t happen? Pundits going on Gab, Parler, Gettr, or Truth Social to repeatedly say “no one cares about this site, you’re in a bubble, you forfeited your influence, things are awesome on the site you don’t use anymore, so awesome that I come here to tell you you’re dumb unlike me.”

Everyone should read this. You’ll learn something about Hawai’i history and get a very clear condemnation of the lawlessness of the Roberts court.

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.
