Congratulations to Spain on their World Cup win. It’s a little sweeter knowing Trump is seething, and angered by your country’s decision not to provide refueling bases and your staunch support for the Palestinians. Te quiero, España!

Donald Trump just got serenaded with massive boos at the World Cup Final. Bravo, fans—a grateful nation thanks you. I’m backing Spain all the way.

Donald Trump has apparently ordered CENTCOM to “open the gates of Hell on Iran.” We’re unsure if that directive was given on the eighth hole or during a McDonald’s lunch break.

Trump‘s ceasefire stops short of preventing armed conflict.

Breaking News: Per U.S. Central Command, two U.S. service members were KIA in Jordan, while defending against Iranian ballistic missiles and other attacks. Another service member is missing and several others wounded. A senseless, stupid war.

It took SEVEN WEEKS for Twitter/X to finally rate a violent AI video made of me and assess it was a rules violation. I received their email on Thursday. When I had one simple, technical issue on BlueSky, I received a response the SAME DAY. The customer support was very helpful and kind, as well.

Almost a year after Trump’s domestic policy bill passed, at least 770,000 children are no longer receiving SNAP benefits. In Arizona, the number of children receiving SNAP has dropped by more than 200,000 since July 2025 — a 55% decline.

ICE agent David Brouillette, who fatally shot Johan Guerrero in Maine, has a history of violence. He threw his 13yo daughter through a coffee table, left a vm threatening to slit her throat, pulled a gun on his ex-wife, and abused others. These agencies are clearly doing ZERO background checks.

The Odyssey Review: As someone who has studied ancient Greek literature and the classics, I found this cinematic rendering to be a compelling achievement. On the whole, I would rate it an 8 out of 10. My reservation concerns the pervasive use of colloquial English and distinctly American accents…

CBS just cut away and dispelled all the lies. Total failure. Nobody cares.

Trump won the 2016 election, and he didn’t claim voter fraud or interference. Trump was president during the 2020 election, and his administration oversaw it. He lost. Trump won the 2024 election, and he didn’t claim voter fraud or interference. Winners rarely cry fraud. Losers often do.

I can't breathe the air, I can't eat lettuce, I can't afford gas, and my kids have measles. But at least now our soldiers will have enough testosterone.

This administration is inept in every way. Rare original copies of the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13thA, signed by Lincoln, have been exposed to excessive heat, bad light, and unstable conditions in their display cases at the Lincoln Memorial Undercroft exhibit. History is being destroyed.

Todd Blanche, asked if he's Trump's friend, says, "I'm his lawyer." He then corrects himself: "was his lawyer."

We threw out $430 worth of produce in the garbage that was purchased a day ago. Thanks to RFK Jr and DOGE,the CDC’s FoodNet (Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network) was scaled back. Cyclosporiasis and other pathogens shifted from mandatory/required reporting to OPTIONAL within the network.

Reuters: ICE SUSPENDS VEHICLE STOPS FOR US IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT - SOURCES

Susan Collins voted to send $70B to ICE w/zero reforms. Maine, I swear to God—if this is how she represents her constituents, you’d better get this right in the general election and overwhelmingly vote for a Democrat. I hope you’re tired of performative centrism that enables unchecked enforcement.

Rep. Jeffries is expected to OPPOSE a bipartisan amendment from Reps. Massie and Khanna that would terminate all U.S. military and economic assistance to Israel. Israel needs to increase its own defense budget, cut other spending, raise taxes, or boost borrowing. I’m disgusted. FUCK ISRAEL!!

WTF did Brad Pitt do to his children? They’re literally taking out ads to publish the removal of his surname. The hatred they have for their father is next level.

Mitch McConnell’s silence on Lindsey Graham’s passing is quite deafening.

Graham, Interrupted Bad boy Platner was the Johnny Depp of politics while old Lindsey was its Dracula. But after reality bit for both, there’s no going back to an age of innocence. by Maureen Dowd

“It's a new dawn, it's a new day It's a new life for me, ooh And I'm feeling good…” Cheers to Lindsey Graham!

Mitch McConnell Lindsey Graham They say it happens in threes. God, do your best. We’re all praying for it.

Senator Lindsey Graham, of South Carolina, has died following a “brief and sudden illness,” his office says. I guess he concluded his final 20-minute phone call with Senator Mitch McConnell, too. The worst people are receiving their karma. Such is life.

Armed Israeli settlers blocked United States Congressman, Ro Khanna, from leaving the occupied West Bank while IDF troops stood by and blocked the road. The settlers also beat up a CNN news crew and detained them.This is the savagery our tax dollars pays for. And Palestinians deal w/ this each day.

My “yellow brick road…”

BREAKING: Deadly bacteria found in major US city's water system traced to Mark Zuckerberg's $800 million, META, data center, per TechRadar

I’m telling you, the Forbes 30 Under 30 list is really a pipeline to prison. An investigation now shows that Phia, the shopping app co-founded by Phoebe Gates (Bill Gates’ daughter), is claiming credit for online sales it didn’t actually drive. Straight-up fraud. Another nepo baby loser.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

The “Islamic Republic of Japan.” Sitting next to Zelenskyy and referring to him as “President Putin” multiple times. Calling TikTok “Tic Tac.” Misnaming the JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal) as “JCPOC.” When is the MSM going to talk about Trump’s cognitive decline? Where’s the book, Tapper et al?

Iranian negotiators just concluded a 20 minute phone call with Senator Mitch McConnell, and they’re ready to make a deal.

Why hasn’t Graham Platner resigned yet? There’s an actual deadline to meet here. Maine, WTF were you doing for SIX YEARS? You had SIX years to vet a much better candidate. It’s incomprehensible that he was the best your state could come up with.

Is Graham Platner’s alleged inability to hear “no” a personal failing, or a symptom of how late-stage capitalism has hardened the hearts of our economically anxious oyster-farming veterans? by Matt Stoller

A federal judge has rejected Elon Musk's bid to void the jury verdict finding that Musk defrauded Twitter investors by trying to drive down the company's stock price after agreeing ‌to a $44 billion takeover.

How do you leave your ‘friend’ if you all came together? This makes zero sense to me. How do you leave a friend on a separate island ten miles off the coast? I wouldn’t be caught alone with a group of white people from MISSISSIPPI. And I’m white. What a tragic loss. RIP, Nolan Wells

I haven’t worked out in maybe three weeks and I feel AMAZING. I’ve been eating everything in sight and enjoying my summer. I have been swimming multiple times each day, so I guess that counts as a healthy balance. I LOVE FOOD!! I LOVE DESSERTS!! “Either love me or leave me alone…”

Put Mitch McConnell on the blockchain. by Andrew Yang

I read the article and I believe Graham Platner should resign now. He was never a superb or preferred candidate, but I felt we needed him to win even with his past failures. I was wrong. Under Maine law, Democrats can replace him if he withdraws by July 13. I hope he finally does the right thing.

The United States can still win this game if Gianni Infantino has the courage.

Graham Platner may drop out. Who’s going to replace him? Will they win? He hasn’t been charged with a crime. He’s NOT my number one choice, but maybe we stick with the devil we know to WIN. The President of the United States is a sexual abuser. Why are we always eager to lose just to be “pure?”

Just imagine how he’s going to fuck up the Olympics.

I will crawl through fire and broken glass to vote every Republican out of office in the midterms.

Trump: “The other way, if they beat us, we'll say—say it was rigged, just like the election was rigged in 2020, but I won't get into that." As an American, I’ll be rooting for Belgium to win. He ruins absolutely everything. Everything. There is no honor in a game with political interference.

Gianni Infantino did what Mike Pence lacked the courage to do.

A quote by President Abraham Lincoln.

Nothing says confidence in your beliefs quite like hiding your face behind a mask. Disgusted.

We’ve known triumph and tragedy, greatness and grave mistakes. May we renew our commitment to the enduring ideals that make us one people: liberty under law, equality of opportunity, and the courage to defend freedom—not just for ourselves, but for our posterity. Happy 250th Birthday, America.

All three attendees have fled Trump’s State Fair because of the heat. Turns out it was too hot even for fair-weather supporters.

We are a nation of vibes, not a nation of laws.

I’m delighted to announce that “Wood Work: Building a Living, Crafting a Life” is available for preorder on Amazon and B&N. Publication date 12/1/26 via Islandport Press.
