pour one out for the death of the dumbest take of the year until Politico reports: “Can the Democrats Derail the Rahm Emanuel 2028 Presidential Juggernaut?”

Praying for our friends in the Philippines and across Southeast Asia.

Oh, so thats why oil jumped a minute ago

looks like my "I will never need to know who tf Spencer Pratt is" stance has paid off

Looks like Netanyahu might not agree with Trump about who calls the shots

Hope everyone’s stocked up on beans

🚨 Israel is bombing Iran, including Tehran. There are also reports of explosions in Beirut, Lebanon.

I'm starting to think that maybe Donald Trump does not have the command over the course of events that he has publicly portrayed himself as having

deal is 95% done, war’s basically already over, even

Remember when calling a reporter stupid merited a headline and an apology?

Our oceans are extremely warm compared to the historical record. One of those areas of record high temperatures last month was across the North Pacific. Graph shows the average for a band across the midlatitudes for every May from 1854-2026 using NOAA ERSSTv5 data (psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded...). 🌊

🔥 Welch: “MAGA is the party of sexual abuse and pedophilia. It is trickle down sexual predation from Donald Trump all the way down to Congress, to his voters. Republicans don't give a sh*t about families, about children, about life. Their policies always lead to death” @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social

Some of you are going to want a Mormon take on this but it’s just the Let Them Fight meme.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said the epicenter was 8 miles from General Santos city on the island of Mindanao. n.pr/43UdNhW

I’ll prat her.

Men are too vain and obsessed with their appearance to be taken seriously as leaders.

Me reading your skeets

Los Angeles: Shallow, But Not Spencer Pratt Shallow

Real synergy here

Live by the poast, die by the poast

This is what the state does to trans women - trans folks at large - who draw guns or use violence to defend ourselves from violent assault or sexual violence. Our self defense is always deemed far more unacceptable than our victimization.

This is a dark day for the Spencer Pratt campaign but opens the door to a third party write in campaign for the one true California candidate Andrew Cuomo

Stop texting my wife!

let’s get those “pratt fall” headlines going

Semi Finale of the Baltic Cup between Lithuania and Latvia. Beautiful anti-Putin message from both sides! Slava Ukraini!

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

PRATT FALL

for all of Bari Weiss's supposed savvy and deftness, it seems like the sum total of her propaganda skillset is to look at a piece of reporting and say "make it more conservative"

Had a great time chatting with @annieknk.bsky.social about the great replacement narrative -- the dangerous fantasy that has metastasized through civil society and radicalized the right. Check it out!

yeah I mean her reaction in the moment was conceivably defensible, that's a legit complicated position to try to navigate, but post-facto sanewashing when we saw him stomp off AND STOMP THE MIC is a whole different level

In the end, Bari Weiss is little different from Tricia McLaughlin. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/m...

as many of you will remember, I dug into detailed local reporting about a different ICE victim every day of Lent to meditate on their stories, and when you read them all lined up some clear patterns start to emerge. the starkest to me was that every employee of GEO Group should be sent to The Hague

Bari Weiss not beating the bootlicking propagandist allegations here:

“The Auburn University Board of Trustees on Friday gave itself complete control over course offerings, curriculum, degree requirements and academic credentials while eliminating shared governance at the Alabama land-grant university… The policy leaves many questions unanswered”

It's absolutely infuriating that blue-state governors do not see this as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to launch their schools into the stratosphere. And I don't mean that in a greedy way. I mean that they could actively work to save US higher ed AND make their schools even better.

"Working class" in 2026 means a blue haired barista with they/them pronouns, a Asian immigrant nail technician, and an undocumented hotel cleaner. And we are going to keep having the same fights until we let the midcentury illustrator mirage of the white guy in plaid with the lunch pail go.

Eric Daugherty? Gunther Eagleman? literally who are these losers

Two months apart

the extent to which ""leftist"" thought leaders are adopting far-right language about hr ladies tells you a lot about what noosphere they're stewing in

Touch grass, desperately.

beating the nazis was good actually

At TPUSA's women's leadership summit, Benny Johnson's wife Kate says birth control "weaken[s] and diminish[es]" women and women don't have a right to prevent their own pregnancies

Feds keep losing bullshit "don't be mean to ICE" cases they bring and I hope it stains every single AUSA who participates like shit on Dockers www.aol.com/articles/spr...

What an embarrassment

I notice one party is quite eager to mandate genital inspections for children

I was one of the first media figures to point out that policing trans people out of sports meant doing genital inspections on children and i got labeled a "crazy extremist trans activist" for doing so.

who was it that did the beach storming again?

here's video of Trump saying on Air Force One of extremely expensive NBA Finals tickets: "You can watch it on TV. That's the way life goes."

LOS ANGELES UPDATE: An excellent update for Nithya Raman. She wins today's batch of roughly 60K ballots over Spencer Pratt by almost 21%, which is well over what she needs. Pratt's lead over Raman (for the 2nd runoff spot) goes down from 5.9% to 3.4%.

EXCLUSIVE: Bill Pulte is set to become the acting director of national intelligence. His father and grandfather had multiple ties to The Family, the secretive Christian group pushing right-wing agendas around the world.
