matthew always brings the receipts

Like it’s clear to me right now that there’s a whole bunch of reactionaries who donned “liberal” or “progressive” caps because it was more socially acceptable…and now that Trump is in power all these people are mask-off. It’s our duty to dunk them back into oblivion after Trump.

Same.

German broadcast. Nailed it

In its rush to meet White House demands for deportations, federal law enforcement has engaged in extensive misconduct, resulting in hundreds of lost or abandoned criminal cases against protesters and immigrants, a New York Times investigation found.

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

when we said “bring back shame” this is exactly what we meant none of these assholes should be allowed to buy coffee in peace

Nothing says “I should be taxed more“ more than using $82 million to argue that you should not, in fact, be taxed more.

There are many different kinds of Trump supporters. Some are simply clueless. Here. Take this quiz. It tells you about clueless low info voters. Most high info voters flunk it. www.americansurveycenter.org/quiz/

Let's put these stories together. Mullin now threatens to arrest state and local election officials who ignore directives from the White House re: supposedly ineligible voters. Yet it is unclear what if any law those officials would be breaking in declining to do so. /1

Taylor Farms recalled lettuce tied to a Cyclospora outbreak. It listed customer brands as cryptic codes instead of real names. Attorney Bill Marler decoded them: 🔹SY is Sysco 🔹MKTSD is Walmart's Marketside 👉 This recall touches grocery stores, not just restaurants. 🧵 #medsky #publichealth

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Trump has blamed vandals, but a WaPo analysis finds that the peeling tracks closely with stages of the renovation process. The lining peeled in at least seven places along seams created when the material was applied in large rectangular sections, indicating likely problems with installation.

The US built the greatest talent magnet ever, attracting the smart, skilled, and striving. They’d come to study, then stay and build things here, or leave with positive impressions and fruitful connections. Helped make the US wealthy and powerful. Then America chose to throw it away. And for what?

I mean, yeah, no kidding, because this is a policy designed to benefit a very narrow group at the expense of almost everyone else.

When I start to worry about Trump stealing the midterms, I just remind myself that he’s losing a fight with the Reflecting Pool at the moment.

Correct. I asked Senator Blackburn to support a Finance Committee subpoena for the Treasury’s Epstein files and she refused. Those files are still being hidden at the Treasury Department.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

The movie holds up. As does this great anecdote courtesy of Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum.

A few words on the passing of South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham, who spent the last ten years of his life eagerly helping Donald Trump in his quest to destroy American democracy. youtu.be/z4HMequIiiY

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.

Trump took another cognitive test and had another physical at Walter Reed. Has it even been two months since his last physical? There’s a massive coverup surrounding the President’s health happening right now.

Sen Raphael Warnock: Right before they passed that ugly bill that cut $1 trillion out of Medicaid, the Speaker of the House joined with other legislators and said a prayer, and then they went and voted for that bill. I just want to know what was in that prayer. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

🧵This story is insane in so many ways that others are more qualified to analyze. Can only add that viz US foreign policy, Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, acting as viceroy of Venezuela is derelict, unconscionable, & impeachable. The SecState's time is scarce, valuable, and not outsourcable. 1/

Not the use of the word "detained" here to make it appear as though the settlers have some legal capacity to be doing this. If i ran up on a US Rep with a rifle and prevented them from leaving it would be, correctly, described as kidnapping; and doing so with political ends would be terrorism.

Yes, and this is not how our constitution works.

“The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects,” said David McCraw, The Times’s top newsroom lawyer. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/b...

Let us lay to rest any doubt that sociopathy can be an acquired trait, when a quarter of our electorate now qualifies.

Gullible is one word one could use. One could also say complicit.

Just striking how blatantly he was willing to lie to people. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/u...

One thing I’ve learned is that it’s a political benefit to make a statement like, but a political cost to actually do anything. As usual, whether a foreign president or US Governor, no one actually plan to pursue accountability.

A new court filing suggests that Border Patrol lied about the basis of a traffic stop that led to the shooting of a US citizen, a German tourist, and a Border Patrol agent. Only when cases go to court do we find out about DHS lies and its unlawful tactics come to light.

The Pentagon covered up the massive damage Iran inflicted on the US Navy Base in Bahrain, including the Fifth Fleet headquarters, the WSJ reports. Satellite imagery revealed the extent of the destruction which could cost $400 million to repair. Total cost for US base damage is now $2 billion.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

And there it is—the Maine Democratic Party has adopted a procedure for replacing Platner without waiting for Platner to drop out. As I noted last night, making a decision is a good way to stop someone from trying to blackmail you about that decision.

This nonsense works for the same reason those Nigerian email scams work. It's so clearly idiotic that only idiots fall for it. So the message quickly finds a home among idiots... and they are legion.

Imprisoning Kennedy, despite his family connections, would be a powerful signal that Democrats are serious about imposing harsh consequences for corruption and misrule. It would send a shiver of fear down the spine of Trump cronies, precisely what you want for future deterrence.

Every single thing this administration does is the most evil thing I've ever fucking heard

Looking forward to the Fox News segment that explains how this is different from Mamdani’s city-run grocery stores.

Will Congress stand mutely as POTUS eviscerates its power to declare war? It has with tariffs, with Epstein files, with USAID, with spending authority...

ICE agents under Trump have shot at least 20 people who were inside their cars They did it again today, killing a father ICE said he "weaponized his vehicle" -- a claim they've often made & that often has turned out to be BS. The FBI is investigating...the dad. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/07/u...

Do poor kids make it in US soccer?

I’m going to have to watch the US men’s Olympic basketball team to cleanse my pallet

I just need you to find me four goals

The US today in one shot:

USMNT deserve the hate they’re going to get for that amateur effort.

US team seems unaware that you have to shoot to score

there’s choking and then there’s “the wildly out of place keeper fails to clear the ball because he somehow tripped on the flat ground”

Nothing again him in his personal life, but for a potential American sports hero, that was a pretty pathetic effort
