🔥 @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “Democrats will not be lectured by the party of Ken Paxton, Donald Trump, Max Miller, etc… and say we’re the bad guys, and be told what good behavior is when it comes to the way women are treated.”

I literally lol’d at this one. #usdemocracy

I think @govandybeshear.bsky.social should just appoint a Dem to fill McConnell’s seat. It would force proof of life, and the state law that stripped him of that power should be challenged in court. I’m sure Thune would refuse to seat the appointee, but I think it’s a fight worth having. BE BOLD!

The supposed free speech absolutist censors checkable facts from being shared.

BTW the version of this in Iowa (where they have since mandated students take courses) was hiring an executive director making close to half a million a year. These things are basically welfare for right wing pundits.

White supremacists like Vance don't understand that most people don't get angry when they see a happy black woman with nice things and assume that she doesn't deserve them.

Bravo to these judges, who are traveling around the country to educate the public about the importance of the rule of law!

“Questions”? You still only have “questions” about whether Donald Trump seeks to punish people who disfavor him?

Every day during the entire history of the US we’ve had merchants offer sales, people start new businesses, companies expand, foreigners invest in US enterprises & buy products from the US. But until now we’ve never had a president claim that every bit of it was because of him.

It sounds like they rushed the Qatar jet and it doesn’t have all of the defensive countermeasures needed to transit potentially hostile airspace. There’s no realistic way to read this other than a threat-driven aircraft choice.

NEW: Senator Mitch McConnell speaks to supporters in his library

Political leaders in BOTH parties are willing to make you hate your friends & family as long as it means they get re-elected. I'm running to end all that. It's time to remind everyone that this is about public service, not politics.

What Platner is doing right now is trying to ignite an intra-party nuclear exchange, so that he can tell the Maine Democrats that THE PEOPLE will not accept anything but him or his designated successor. This is the kind of thing Trump would do.

NYT: Last month you said Iranian leaders were very rational people, nice to deal with, strong and smart. Today you said they're scum, sick people, and being led by sick people. What changed? TRUMP: I got to know them

Honestly I really wish American reporters were more willing to ask Trump enablers "how do you live with the shame of this every day?"

Republicans often follow the party's messaging instructions to the letter -- check out how similar all the tweets about Mamdani's AC note, for instance -- but in some cases it becomes really, really obvious they're following a script.

I don't know, man, I think if Joe Biden had kept confusing Zelenskyy with Putin and Iran with Japan, the media might have made a pretty big deal about it?

Trump repeatedly refers to Zelenskyy as "President Putin"

A puppet is a puppet.

The Belgian soccer team trolled Donald Trump by mimicking his “jerk-off” dance.

Once again, I am just a small-town international relations professor, standing here, begging our media & our Congress to take our most important signed, ratified international treaty seriously & threats by the One Special Boy to violate it as the presidency-ending scandal that it should have been.

Belgium’s team celebrated their victory over the US by mocking Trump’s signature double jerk off dance move.

Randy Fine (R-FL): “It’s irrelevant whether Mitch McConnell is still with us or not. I’ll just continue to vote for him.” Well… that’s one way to define party loyalty.

Wow. So much for "Believe women." But if you'd bothered to read the story, madam, she *did* tell the NYT.

Just more casual racism from the usual suspect...

I have special disdain for the anti inmigrant immigrants.

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.

A novel moment of fleeting self-awareness.

A photograph of Friedrich Trump shortly after his expulsion from the Kingdom of Bavaria on order of Prince Regent Luitpold based on findings that he, as a draft dodger and operator of a bordello, was a person of poor moral character.

Burgum tried to present himself as a rational and sober alternative to Trump during the 2024 GOP primary. This is what he's reduced himself to in order to maintain a proximity to power.

This is NOT what the FIFA World Cup is about. The FIFA World Cup is about *opens history book* uh oh *Frantically starts flipping though pages* uh oh. oh no. no no no. uh oh

1/9 Give me your Eyes… This is more than a political scandal. It is a moral crisis. When a president reports over $2.2 billion in income while holding power, the question is no longer only legal. It is moral: Is he serving the people, or serving himself? robertreich.substack.com/p/the-most-t...

Conservatives who demand religious freedom are talking about the freedom to practice THEIR religion. Not yours.

Supreme Court Trans Sports Ruling Adopts Originalist Vision For JV Volleyball Rosters

Burgum: "The algae is all gone. That was a momentary thing. As it was being filled, there was algae in the pipes." (So much for Trump's talking point that vandals put algae in the reflecting pool!)

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

Again, charges here are so, so absurd that you really need to look at what happened in the grand jury. we've seen the evidence. grand jury misconduct is rife in the Trump DOJ. We've seen the evidence. It comes from the top.

Poor Todd Blanche. 😵‍💫 He's in the unfortunate position of hiding the crimes of the Rapist in Chief. That sucks.

I hate how big companies just don't want anyone to own anything ever again. They'd rent food to us if they could

sorry I know I should be more concerned about how the DOJ keeps bringing ginned up charges to protect the president’s ego or whatever but i cant stop laughing at Fox News’ decision to surround the presser with photos of this guy doing some absolutely sick canoeing

Today's NYT jobs report coverage (left) compared to exactly 2 years ago under Biden (right). Notice the numbers.

If you haven’t spent time in DC I have to emphasize this is like significantly fewer people than you’d expect to see here on a random Wednesday in July
