Same, Toad. Same.

Sorry, but he’s simply a bad candidate with baggage that turns off too many people who might otherwise vote against Collins.

Bluesky has its problems, no doubt about that, but it’s still way better than the alternatives ihmo.

Integrity. I’d almost forgotten what that looks like.

They always come back.

Don't be fooled. The right never "splits" for long. They rebrand, regroup and come back even worse than before.

I don’t want to hear about “Star-Spangled Events.” Fuck you and your star-spangled events.

I'm blocking out any official celebrations this weekend. Complete lack of fucking interest, bordering on disdain for anyone who excited for them this year.

I don’t want to hear about “Star-Spangled Events.” Fuck you and your star-spangled events.

It really sucks that so many of the venues people can use to publish their opinions online in 2026 have been commandeered by far right billionaires. Really, really fucking sucks.

The United States has been hijacked by a crime family, enabled by a gutless, treasonous, power-hungry Republican Party. Venture capitalism writ large. And they’re stripping us down for parts.

I worry that Tim Heidecker will destroy his voice wth his uncanny impression of Alex Jones.

Here we go - it’s ON.

As someone who’s worked on a lot of stages, this only happens when the crew is made up of rank amateurs. You never have crew lifting huge heavy pieces around in the scaffolding while there are people below. This is how people get killed.

We’re losing the war on metaphor.

The Bob Cesca Podcast: Don’t Take the Brown Goofballs #blogpost

🚨BIG news! Fifth Circuit says undocumented immigrants with no criminal records, specifically those who came across the border at some point long in the past, MUST be given a bond hearing within 90 days of arrest, at which the government must be able to justify continued jailing.

What the hell is wrong with these people? Who is overseeing this batshit catastrophe waiting to happen? Does anyone think these idiots will have adequate safety measures in place? If you’re in DC, stay as far away from the Mall as you can get.

Oops, did I really call Matt Yglesias unhinged and unserious? 🫠

omfg

This shit is just unreal. They’re now trying to put people in prison for years for *completely imaginary* crimes, to mollify the manbaby dictator and scare everyone else into shutting up.

This is yet another disgusting abuse of prosecutorial powers. The people responsible for this blatant political persecution need to be put on trial themselves.

Meidas: Trump Suffers Major Health Crash #blogpost

Posted because we CAN'T allow this to seem normal, just because it's quiet. We need to speak out. That's why it's quiet to begin with -- because ICE raids that were announced drew protest.

That sound you heard is money changing hands.

The Trump regime is planning to cut down DC's oldest cherry tree to make way for a new Trump golf course. 💔 www.rawstory.com/trump-cherry...

This is a weird one but stay with me. It seems that Steve Bannon, John Solomon, Cleta Mitchell, and two top officials at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence are forming a plot to subvert the midterm elections by declaring Chinese interference in US elections as a national emergency

This insane egomaniacal fireworks display may actually kill people.

I love this for Trump.

The US is under the control of the worst assholes on Earth. Absolutely despicable creatures.

Donald Trump is a very stupid fucking person who genuinely has no idea how anything works and the U.S. press should never be allowed to live down their failure in communicating this mercilessly and clearly to the U.S. public

team blood pressure ftw

In reality, not even slightly hard at all, unless you’re the New York Times, I guess.

Two years ago, my colleagues and I were sued by Stephen Miller's America First Legal. The Hines v Stamos case — built atop a number of false allegations — was a central element of the "censorship industrial complex" myth. Today, that case was dismissed (by a Trump judge in LA). We won.

In the think tank and nonprofit world, there's a lot of talk about "mainstreaming' white nationalist rhetoric without fully elaborating on how it happened. A lot of it, as this piece does a good job of showing, comes down to how the younger generation—particular men—have moved the Overton window.

A federal judge in Washington just blocked the U.S. Postal Service from carrying out changes to its delivery of mail-in ballots — writing that recent policies directed by Trump ran afoul of legal terms the agency accepted more than four years ago to ensure timely delivery of mail ballots.

get in loser we’re fixing the reflecting pool

Julian Lage Live in South Korea: “I’ll Be Seeing You” #blogpost

It’s not unexpected to see the Democratic centrist machine going all out to attack progressive candidates (who are suddenly winning a lot) instead of supporting them, but it’s pretty fucking gross.

I’m rooting for Team Heat Stroke.

These ID laws are going to blow up in these stupid politicians’ faces like badly planned fireworks.If you’ve never heard the term “moral panic,” that’s what this is. Driven by bad people for bad purposes, enabled by clueless pundits and politicians.

Really don’t feel much like celebrating the USA’s 250th. It’s coming at an all-time low point for the nation, and I’m ashamed of it. I’ll save my celebration for when it happens.
