Trump signed a stipulation: lose at the Supreme Court, pay Carroll immediately. He lost Monday. He still hasn't paid. His lawyers called asking for more time anyway. Robbie Kaplan's response to the judge is the kind of clean, precise lawyering worth reading in full. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED FOR UNDER FASCISM — BRAVERY Before the attacks & the hot takes start, a few facts: Major Jason Watson is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, a career logistics officer, a NATO officer, and a decorated veteran who volunteered for a 365-day tour in Afghanistan… 🧵

GET IT

We are in ‘the emperor has no clothes’ territory, folks.

Ossoff: "Handing an out-of-control executive even more unfettered power just makes it even more vital that we restore checks and balances and constrain this president using our power as citizens as voters in these midterm elections."

Looking forward to all the schoolchildren in Texas, being taught the Bible under Texas's new Christian nationalist law, finding out that Ken Paxton and his mistress should be stoned to death for committing adultery. Glory!

Mitch McConnell should resign Immediately…..

Wow. What an asshole.

Call to Activism 🚨Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker drops a NUKE on Donald Trump: “It really is ironic…on the eve of the 250th anniversary of our country, a man sits in the WH who is everything that the founders feared … An uncontrollable, narcissistic, authoritarian president who acts like a king.

This is Penny. She came up with her own trick. Really hopes you like it, and will repeat it as many times as necessary until you acknowledge that you do. 14/10 (IG: pennycorgipoo)

Good morning! It’s Masuke here. I went for my morning walk full of energy again this morning. It’s muggy here in Tokyo. How’s the weather where you are?

Hundreds of thousands of children are already dead since USAID was closed. Elon Musk is furious that critics are linking DOGE’s dismantling of USAID to preventable child deaths.

To be crystal clear here -- the nun was **wearing her habit** and walking to Sunday mass when ICE arrested her and hauled her off: apnews.com/article/nun-...

youtube.com/shorts/IWcC4... #USD #PB I love the look on Ken Paxton’s face when realizes he is busted traveling to Iceland with a girlfriend. This will be played on a loop here in Texas Texans want to know why Paxton is spending July 4 in Iceland instead of Texas. Does Ken Paxton hate freedom?

The RNC thought it had found a new way to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of lawful voters. It spent millions building a case in an attempt to use disenfranchisement as a systematic tool to gain partisan advantage. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

need to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.

They just continue to insist that there are massive crowds showing up to this thing despite the fact that this is also the 200th anniversary of the invention of the camera.

SCOTUS refused to hear E. Jean Carroll. So it’s official: he is a predator.

MAJOR BREAKING: In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court held that states may count mail-in ballots that are postmarked on or before Election Day, even if they arrive afterward. Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh dissented.

🚨VICTORY: Supreme Court holds that federal Election Day statutes do not prevent Mississippi from counting absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day but received afterwards A huge victory for our clients and the Elias Law Group team. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

That sums it up nicely

This little man is crazy good! @n8man.bsky.social @psychicwhoosh.bsky.social

There’s a reason nobody is at the 50 state fair in DC, and a reason it’s worth pointing out. Trump took over America 250, a bipartisan org that’s been around a few years planning these events, and turned this into a celebration of himself. I mean, in an opening speech they said “libtards”

I have an update on Betty, the only person I’ve ever posted a GFM for because I know her so well. She desperately needs our help. If you can lend a hand, it would be greatly appreciate it. If not, I completely understand. A repost reaches far and wide, and it’s free. gofund.me/c20d8437e

Hey y'all, I didn't want to post about this but I am sick to my stomach. Please pray for my cat Gigi & for me. I cannot find her. She fell through a screen in the window & I haven't seen her since. Please pray she comes home tonight. I can't eat & don't think I can sleep. Thank you for your prayers.

When you take a nap so good that you wake up thinking you're late for school but it's Sunday and you're 59.

Phang: Inside his order, Judge Sullivan said that I am likely to succeed on the merits of my lawsuit, which speaks to the bigger success. Because the ultimate goal is the entirety of the Epstein files being produced, including the shit that Blanche continues to sit on…

Leave it to foreign news outlets to take action and to keep us informed. Thank you, BBC. You ROCK!!!

How is it the power grid couldn’t handle electric cars but it will be fine with all these data centers?

All decent people feel terrible for the Iranian men's national team and how they have been treated.

Don't believe your lying eyes. Believe Fox.

I’m in Canada at the moment, and someone behind me in the grocery line said, after finding out I’m American, ‘No worries, we got you. We know you don’t support him. And honestly, it’s been a good wake up call for us.’ I almost cried.

Jared Kushner wants Albania's protected wetlands. The government obliged. Protesters said no. 29 days later, they're still saying no — with flamingo cutouts and flags, in the streets, every single night. Europe is watching. Is anyone else?

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

The Buttigiegs have experienced a nightmare that should never have happened at all. I hope whoever is responsible is found and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Why it’s time for Democratic socialism!

“If we lose, people might investigate us" is a helluva campaign pitch for "innocent" politicians.

Ossoff: I don’t know if you saw the mess in Washington last week. The president was so humiliated in Hormuz, he threw his toys out of the stroller and refused to sign the affordable housing bill.

Coming from the most corrupt Administration in American history, this is an honor I'll treasure forever.

Steve Jobs predicted cities would be designed around this device, which was "as big a deal as the PC." Jeff Bezos called it "one of the most famous and anticipated product introductions of all time." don't let our tech lords fool you into believing they can predict the future.
