I don’t think it’s dramatic to say that the Mariners sweeping the Astros is one of the biggest series wins they’ve ever pulled off. What a squad.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Yeah we can hangout if you promise not to be a

A story in pictures

Ken Paxton is a massive piece of shit who worked with anti-abortion activists to find abusive men willing to sue over their ex’s abortions. I guess that’s my way of saying: if Ken Paxton got you pregnant, hit me up at [email protected]

Twitter vs Threads vs BlueSky Have definitely noticed way more engagement on threads in the last six months. Via Tech Crunch

I dunno y'all. This site is 12 liberals who agree with each other about everything shouting at one another. Is there any reason to think it will evolve into anything different? techcrunch.com/2025/07/07/t...

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

Navarro: I'm very happy to see somebody that isn't afraid to speak up and call an authoritarian an authoritarian. And if it's Newsom, as a result of what's happening in California now, I welcome it because I have been so thirsty for somebody that is not cowardly

Double.

RFK Jr. wants to Make America Healthy Again. But he's ignoring the country's leading cause of preventable deaths: smoking.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

One thing Newsom has shown is key to effectively deal with Trump & the MAGA propaganda machine: You must respond immediately & call out the lies. You can’t wait until hours/days later, then answer in a press conference, statement, scripted speech. All Dems should learn from it.

#RIP #SlyStone. According to reports, he has passed away at the age of 82. Let's look back at a time he wanted ALL the smoke with the champ, #MuhammadAli. If he was nothing else, he was fearless. 😂😂😂 Rest well, legend.

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

This is a pretty important point!

👏👏👏

Gov. Gavin Newsom responds to Homan statement on possibly arresting him: "He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me. Lay your hands off four year old girls that are trying to get educated. Come and arrest me. Let’s just get it over with tough guy. I don’t give a damn".

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

We do need to have productive conversations.. at some point. We also need a space where we are not attacked. Right now, that is most important thing. Bluesky is the main place where we can feel safe. Unfortunately, we are not at the productive conversation stage yet.

The lack of diversity of thought here is really hurting usage. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... Opinion | Bluesky’s decline stems from never hearing from other side - The Washington Post

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

What number of dead children would you be okay with?

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Meltdown on Truth Social in 3, 2, 1...

"Electricians, plumbers -- the people my aggressively litigious boss used to refuse to pay for the work they'd already done back in his real estate days."

Chris Murphy: "In retrospect, you can't defend what the Democratic Party did because we are stuck with a madman, a corrupt president in the Oval Office, and we should've given ourselves a better chance to win."

CNN: Former President Joe Biden has just announced that he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

Pence: "To have POTUS in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror & describing is as nation building & interventionist I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform..particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from"

Love this from Pedro Pascal at Cannes: "Fear is the way that they win, so keep telling the stories and expressing yourself and fighting. F*ck the people that try to make you scared and fight back. Don’t let them win"

@democrats.org wake the heck up !!!

Good morning to everyone except those who are part of the fake, very not real agency DOGE named after a memecoin because the govt is run by dorks

Free market something something

For the most part, leading Democrats are ducking what is fast becoming the first real litmus test of the 2028 campaign: former President Biden's mental acuity.

threatening one of the most beloved living american musicians is an interesting strategy, let’s see how it plays out!

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc. And get the money out

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Whenever someone does the blurry background thing on Zoom, all I can think about is what they’re hiding. Taxidermy? Weird family photos? A framed Pink Floyd butts picture that they bought in college? ITS SO MYSTERIOUS

Art of the deal is raising the tariff to 145% then cutting it almost in half despite the fact that China has made no concessions and has completely ignored you. Xi just sits back at laughs at our orange clown.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Powell: "If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they are likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment."

Mark Warner: "That cabinet meeting earlier this week where everyone went around and basically paid kudos to the great leader -- it was something that frankly I would've expected out of North Korea, not out of a cabinet meeting in America."
