The America 250 stuff is sad to me because the idea of throwing a fun party to celebrate the country should be a slam dunk and we’re not going to get to enjoy it because the government is filled with incompetent boobs.

Just 10 people have already poured $617 MILLION into this year’s midterm elections. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. This is not sustainable. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

Pushing back against the voters is the most DNC shit ever

Jesus Christ. Run your own fucking campaign how you want. But don't go out of your way to give Republicans ammo against Democrats running in other districts. Such stupid assholes.

Trump Officials: "We are gutter racists who believe non-white people are racially inferior to whites. We have said publicly that non-white immigrants dilute the racial purity of our nation and thus we do not want non-white immigrants here. This is *entirely* about race." Sam Alito: "But *is* it?"

With seven decisions with the *same* 6-3 lineup over the last three days, I really can't wait for all of the hot takes from the folks who keep insisting that #SCOTUS *isn't* defined by its ideological division.

My cab driver in Staten Island was a Reagan-Bush-Bush-Dole-Bush-Bush-McCain-Romney-Trump-Trump-Trump voter. He said that by nominating Mamdani-aligned candidates, Democrats had just thrown away any shot at getting his vote.

I would rather lobotomize myself with a wooden kitchen spoon

Egypt and Iran have requested that Pride events in Seattle during their World Cup match be canceled and… no. Welcome to Seattle. This might be the most patriotic I’ve felt in my life. Pride isn’t happening during your game; you’re here during Pride. Suck a rainbow. apnews.com/article/worl...

My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and— I said look. Look with your eyes! Oh now you’ve gone and touched it. The paint is peeling. My beautiful paint! I’ll have to call my pool guy back. Vandal! Antifa! I said look And despair Nothing but the algae remains.

In June 2007 I spent a month in Germany, and the temps were regularly in the high 70s (°F, obvs). I was wholly unprepared for how it felt inside without AC, even at those temps. Cannot imagine ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR.

I want someone to ask Talarico about quantum computing just so he can say it's inherently non-binary and watch the right melt down about gay computers.

omg

Volume II of Jack Smith's final report detailing Trump's shocking misconduct in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case is being wrongly withheld from the public We @democracydefendersaction.org & with Platkin LLP filed this brief for 10 US Senators We will help pop Vol. II loose for all to see

A 22-year-old just got a $30 million investment valuing his new futures exchange at $300 million. He graduated Stanford, wrote for Thiel's Stanford Review, interned at Andreessen Horowitz. His mom? Pro-crypto Sen. Gillibrand, D-NY. Bipartisan capture in full bloom. fortune.com/2026/06/18/t...

I heard that there are thousands and thousands of cases of Rep. Claudia Tenney drowning kittens in her kitchen sink. It happens all the time. But Rep. Claudia Tenney will tell you it doesn't happen because you can't prove it.

Know what TV show actually wouldn’t get made today? The Twilight Zone. Half of these fuckin’ episodes are about fascism.

"In my defense, your honor, our business is named Greenwater Solutions, I dunno what they expected..."

Chat is it a good sign for your case when you omit entire pages from the grand jury transcript you give to the judge

Really need people to stop saying that the Minnesota 15 are going to be fine, that their charges will be dropped like ours. That was four days before trial, was NOT supposed to happen, and only did because of persistent, diligent, and incredible work by our lawyers.

I have to say it again, this is insane, it's white-suits-and-nets insane. They need missles to defend themselves from the UNITED STATES, says THE UNITED STATES SENATOR??

If Waffle House doesn’t make this their new slogan, then capitalism has failed

Holy shit. The government is conceding it willl pay some amount of fees to the Broadview Six. They are DESPERATE to stop further inquiry into the case. Never heard of such a thing.

This is honestly kind of a fascinating look into what the next generation of extremism will look like. Christian accelerationists aren't a surprise. The fact they're planning this over what should ostensibly be the Democrats platform in '26 and '28, though... That is.

Hey @booker.senate.gov I think you have some explaining to do.

Do not talk to the feds. Get a lawyer immediately. If you're arrested. The only words you say is "I want to speak to my lawyer." They may try to be friendly or act casual. Do not fall for it. Do. Not. Talk. To. The. Feds.

If the GOP showing up at local festivals and hollering about pink hair is all it takes, then that's all they're going to do, and it doesn't really present an inroad for the Democratic party.

😕

Josh Hokit just ended his post-fight speech at the White House UFC event by yelling "Michelle Obama is a man!" A disgraceful spectacle through and through

Remember this scene the next time a corporate reporter tries to insist that a rural diner full of white men in their 60s is somehow a more authentically "American" place, somehow more representative of who we are as a nation.

Dude.

It took Mamdani five months to get rid of the NYC deficit and oversee a Knicks title. 🫡

And he repeatedly put it to use

man nyc is such a fun place right now. on my way to a mets game (lol) and everyone’s in knicks gear or brazil gear or mets gear or argentina gear. everyone’s on their way to a watch party or a block party. the whole country could be like this if it wasn’t run by miserable pudding brained freaks

Dude Talarico could have sex with his girlfriend, live on camera, and the GOP would just move the goalposts again and keep calling him gay It’s like being back in fucking middle school

I still remember them saying Biden had declared a war on cows, and how Democrats would drive beef prices up.

My mayor Muslim. My bagel Jewish. My DHS Secretary's the dumbest man alive. Knicks in fiiiiiiive.

A decent rule or thumb is that when you happen upon really egregious misconduct, it’s unlikely that you just fortunately stumbled upon the first unique instance. More often it escalated to be that bad via a lot of lesser infractions for which there were no consequences.

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

In college, my advisor/debate coach/professor made us read "Bias" by Bernard Goldberg about how big media, like CBS, would select stories and frame them in a biased way. The past 20+ years I've watched as the right turned it into a playbook, bringing it full circle back to CBS where Goldberg started

Hey #lawsky I made you a present

This is some incredible exculpatory tense on display here. You wouldn't guess from this article that Chud the Builder was the guy doing the shooting

Lovely.

Nice work by Jared Polis.

Most incredible Colin Robinson vibes from this guy.
