MAMDANI, on Bill Ackman: “.. He's spending more money against me than I would even tax him!" @casestudyqb.bsky.social #NYC

Farmers should be forced to carry the consequences of their vote to full term.

Welp, here it is: maybe the funniest thing we've ever done, in its entirety.

The world’s biggest climate alliance for banks has ceased operations, just four years after securing net zero pledges from many lenders

Nepal’s Gen Z uprising was precipitated by the betrayals of an older revolution, Kapil Komireddi writes—so we should view what is now unfolding, despite its appearance of promise, with some wariness.

With higher utility bills, a house that produces more energy than it uses may be appealing. In southern California, one such house has existed for more than a decade. NPR's Jeff Brady visited the "Green Idea House" in Hermosa Beach, California.

I liked a point I saw on Rick Perlstein's FB feed, which I translate as: trying to divine Tyler Robinson's politics is a category error. He doesn't have politics. He has a jumble of memes from one of the less enlightened corners of the Internet: gaming. His mind is a howling wilderness.

Fuck Charlie Kirk. One less monster in the world

I made this in jest because I’m finding it hard to believe that a text message exchange would sound like a Jane Austen novel written by a cop. Completely Believable Text Message Theater - sound up.

Yes, release the Epstein files!!!

Researchers have spent 10 years improving the massive detectors they use to catch shockwaves from colliding black holes, and now the science is precise enough to test one of Stephen Hawking's key ideas.

Oh no guys! Political violence is never okay and so we shouldn't celebrate THIS.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Am I the only one thinking the shooter is not going to be found?

Two things can be simultaneously true. 1) Political violence should always be condemned. 2) Charlie Kirk made a living off of being a hate filled fucker, and stated in 2023: "It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment."

This is an extraordinary thread. Click here, but scroll back to the top. Extraordinary.

Fatality.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district that has 6x the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there? What bullshit."

Anyway here's the piece. Follow @votebeat.org. www.votebeat.org/texas/2025/0...

Inquiring minds want to know...

People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it! 8/8/25

Dems should fight on every front. If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts. We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File. Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇 Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.

What kind of garbage administration buries and redacts evidence that their president raped young girls?

Looking for a way to do something? read the EPA reversal of the endangerment finding, and then file a public comment explaining why it is false, wrong, misguided. Your comment can be scientific, legal, or just about what the American people want.. Reversal: www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

Finally some good news!

Texas is drawing its new maps, and it’s worse than just gerrymandering. It’s redlining. Democrats need to fight back tooth and nail. Watch Rick Wilson explain: www.youtube.com/watch?v=619s...

Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.

Meanwhile in Tulsa…

@schumer.senate.gov is a joke

The US lost 33,000 jobs in June, after expecting to gain 100,000. Trump's brought America nothing but job insecurity, unpredictable tariffs, unstable markets and plummeting consumer confidence.

Also Lisa Murkowski: “this hurts me more than it hurts you!” as she punches you in the face over and over again.

Reminder: They’re afraid of Zohran because he’s better at this than they are. He is putting the people first, and it reminds them of their own failings.

Meanwhile Republicans are trying to advance a bill that will destroy their party, jobs, and kill many Americans as we speak. Why? Tax cuts for billionaires.

Thou shalt not let people be murdered at home for their political beliefs and just “move on.” Thou shalt not let children be murdered at school for trying to learn and just “move on.” Thou shalt never stop fighting to make these horrors end.

Have @schumer.senate.gov or @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social penned their strongly worded memos yet?

I’ve seen lots of nonsense since Mamdani’s primary victory but the most irritating thread is people claiming they will leave NY if he is mayor. First of all, Go! It’s fine. It’s FINE. Go swelter in FL or wherever. No one cares. And secondly shut up. You’re lying. You aren’t going anywhere.

I watched a screener of this from PBS — it airs next week. Highly recommended. www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

This didn’t age well, @pbs.org www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

I’m certain Merrick Garland is brunching with his Heritage Foundation buddies today.
