It was a bullshit red card, but I guess FIFA is still mad that we sullied the good name of the FIFA Peace Prize by immediately starting a couple wars.

something that frustrates me about the ride-and-die emotional support politician process is how the hyperventilating nooo you don't understand he's just a quirked-up white boy goated with the sauce their noble savage electorate was raised on routine so reliably precedes episodes like this

Trump: It's not working! Why don't they love the fair? How do I make the crowds cheer? Oracle of DC: If you test your strength against the heat with a very long speech, the nation will celebrate harder than they ever have. They will party in the streets. No one will ever forget the night.

Ohmygod! The spell worked! I've successfully shifted reality onto the Good Arc.

ok look I gotta admit twitter is all janky and evil now but there's content you can't find anywhere else, like this just showed up on my for you page

You, of course, can imagine the front page, large bold font headlines & Jake Tapper features on CNN about Joe Biden's mental fitness for office if he had said that America cannot build a 747.

rule of three! Rule of three! RULE OF THREE!

Look I'm just saying that Elon Musk has been posting about how we need to do the Turner Diaries for two straight weeks while Mamdani is attempting to make buses free. I see no difference between these things.

Cancer Vaccines 2028

realizing “wait, i can make more money in the air conditioning at a call center than on this assembly line, and i don’t even have to stand up?” was, no shit, a *major* pivot point in my life

July has been a helluva month.

Unless a senator is dumber than a box of rocks, congenitally oppositionally defiant, or loves the filibuster so much they have a Robert Byrd funko pop, I'm honestly not that worried. The policy case has been excessively clarified. Less clear is whether this is animating politics for voters.

William Henry Harrison reboot for the global warming age? 🤞🤞🤞

The president has joined the War on Algae on the side of algae www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Good morning California, today is July 1, some new state laws take effect today. From trans rights to clarity in food expiration labels to allowing more housing near transit, here are some of the more significant ones! www.kqed.org/news/1208923...

However excruciatingly awful and sad you imagine this is going to be, it's, delightfully, far worse.

As I was saying: anti-immigration politics is insatiable—literally cannot be satisfied—by any concrete menu of policy changes because it's not about policy! It's about ethnic purity, & purging the body politic of the enemy alien. Every 'reasonable grievance' is a stalking horse for ethnic cleansing

i mean if the pope is gonna be excommunicating a bunch of guys tomorrow anyway, why not put some more names on the list. c’mon. as a treat, holy father. it would be fun and funny.

One thing you can see with the reaction to birthright citizenship decision is that Great Replacement Theory is now pretty much the center of the American Right's whole project.

🚨 BIG BOAT STUCK 🚨 apnews.com/article/iran...

Fascinating how the institution is slowly being reconstituted as lessons are painfully relearned. With professional bureaucrats taking over while Wonderboy and Deals Steve are slowly firewalled from the table.

A follow-on consequence to this is that even the most generous read of Ezra Klein’s intellectual project, trying to understand the intellectual underpinnings of his ideological opponents, is a joke. Their ideological underpinning is that they’ll make whatever claim they want in order to gain power.

One thing that I’ve learned in my study of backlash politics from Reconstruction through the Civil Rights Movement is that backlashers are a persistent bunch. The undoing of Reconstruction took several decades, and post-WWII backlashers looked back on that patient counterrevolution as a model.

Consecrating your own bishops. It's like forking Linux.

MY HERO WE HAVE A TRANSCRIPT OF THE BITCHY PART!!!!!!!!

WELCOME TO SCHISM WATCH 2026 WITH CLAIRE

Nearly half of the weather balloons in the lower 48 are missing because of DOGE

Texas passed an age assurance law that requires Bluesky to verify the age of users. This law was paused by a judge and then unpaused by an appeals court, so we are preparing to comply. If you saw an age assurance notice today, that's why. Read about the law here: ccianet.org/news/2026/05...

Honestly I think more attention should be paid to the mental health of Republican reps who are able to do their job day-in and day-out with a smile.

Or just live-streaming of *all* of the Court's public sessions, and not just the oral arguments: www.stevevladeck.com/p/85-opinion...

You know, evil science ended up being a lot less cool than it was cracked up to be. We were promised death rays and mutant cyborgs and so forth and ended up with robot George Washington having opinions about Gamergate.

This is what they took from you 👇

Those choices throughout his political career that have led many working class LGBTQ people to feel he does not represent their interests? Building more housing near transit.

The thing you have to understand about Rhis Cufo and all his ilk is that they are incredibly fucking stupid and are not employable without massive right-wing subsidies and affirmative action from friendly media oligarchs. They're embarrassments badly recycling barely remembered memes from the 80s.

I wonder what's the biggest jump between successive subsection of a History section of a wikipedia article? I'm reading about the Umrah and the history section jumps from the first Umrah in 629 CE to "COVID-19 closures" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umrah#H...

Had to dig up a hard copy for this one.

1) glad to see we’re approaching a not-fedposting version of FMK 2) I think Kavanaugh is probably the “best” hang (Patel is getting blitzed and being tedious, Hegseth violently unpleasant, Kav would hold his booze and try to be composed) but I believe I could destroy Hegseth’s spirit in 2 cfax beers

guess the state and wait for it (sound on)

they won’t let you in with a backpack so families trying to cut across are being sent six blocks around

My politics still

they hate us because they hate our freedom, and they don't have traditional American moral values

I hope for a future where our kids can never understand how we just allowed this.

Oh my God. I tossed off this joke this morning and somehow it became Nina Totenberg's reality.

Big "midterm convention" less than 60 days out from election day to make sure everyone goes to the polls associating their local GOP candidates with Donald Trump, hell yeah. You wanna get nuts, let's get nuts.
