This, and any discourse about rural America that treats rural America as predominantly white has accepted right wing propaganda as fact, but leftishly.

It genuinely sucks that the Orange Man has cratered the government, but the government will still be cratered and the more bonkers shit you promise voters the more they're going to be disappointed when you govern. Sure is great and cool that we're also full steam ahead into an anti-tax revolt.

One of the things that has me legitimately baffled about the current primary climate (including what will likely be the 2028 race) is that even fairly engaged people don't seem to be pricing in at all that there's not going to be any money in 2029.

The surest way for the US to surrender the future of technology is to slash federal science budgets and politicize science. Which is exactly what is happening.

“US forces are prepared to maintain freedom of navigation in accordance with international law. The southern route of the strait remains open.” — US military broadcast on marine radio. “Fuck off.” — Sailor on nearby ship www.wsj.com/world/middle...

NEW: A 5-year-old girl spent months in federal immigration custody here in Connecticut while her family waited for her release. Her case isn’t unique, experts and court records show. My latest w/ @jrabethomas.bsky.social at @ctinsider.bsky.social — www.ctinsider.com/news/article... #nutmegsky

A man awkwardly runs into his ex and then sells his bar.

The guy the Trump administration tapped to head up an investigation into supposed left-wing violence, reporting directly to Blanche, marched during Jan. 6. He also served at the DOJ for several years (Trump, Biden, Trump again) without this information becoming public — until now.

It really is kind of incredible (extremely derogatory) the level of absolutely egregious bullshit our news media will give Trump a pass on that they will do for literally no one else

I hate that this meme is literally coming true, considering the cyclospora outbreak 🤬

Wild stuff; the Trump admin appears to be getting ready to claim that Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, shot and killed by ICE on his way to work, had multiple baggies of meth just sitting in plain view on the DASHBOARD for anyone to see. I know the truth is sometimes stranger than fiction, but COME ON.

“I’ll pass on the salad and just have those fries. I’m trying to eat healthy.” - instant hall of fame dad joke thanks to cyclospora

I think it’s important to interpret these comments from Trump in the context of him clearly wanting to use the nukes but having been dissuaded from using the nukes

He also gave Argentina $20 billion Trump might be the only man alive who can stop Lionel Messi

Saladin in 1189:

Me, who doesn't know much about soccer: I dunno I feel like they're spending a lot of time near the England goal. That seems bad, right? Me, 2 minutes later: oh, I see.

New meme just dropped

I'd argue that a lot of our veterans joined the military so they wouldn't end up driving a truck for a living.

Vivek is a stone cold racist white supremacist.

Hahaha, this sucks man.

This Administration is engaged in the largest criminal cover-up in American history.   Todd Blanche cannot serve as AG. Full stop.

imo there are a lot of well-meaning urban progressives who think they're being charitable and enlightened when they claim that what the great masses of rural america are calling out for is socialism, and it leads them to some very shoddy analysis and very faulty conclusions

Vance is clearly setting up his own Dolchstoßlegende to explain why the US went to war against Iran when he opposed it all along. And no, that is not "legitimate criticism of Israel."

yes, this is the Graham Platner Enjoyer demographic

hegseth endorsing treatments that can lead to impotence or sterility for soldiers is big news for our nation's brave class of soldiers' wives' boyfriends

btw putting a bunch of soldiers on T is going to make the VA’s job quite a bit harder in a number of respects because ex-soldiers are not always great at keeping up with things like medication and going off T after you’ve been on T is quite a bit worse than never going on T

The Trump administration is literally destroying our history

The Pentagon is evaluating combat dropping the 101st Airborne into Cuba.

SCHIFF: The president was convicted in a case you represented him in of falsifying business records for tax purposes. Does this settlement not absolve him of any liability for tax crimes associated with what he's been convicted of? BLANCHE: He can't be audited for that SCHIFF: Of course he can be

This is fucking insane.

"The change happened overnight Tuesday into Wednesday, hours after the city hosted MLB All-Star game events near the site, allowing the government to switch out the displays and shutdown the television screens while avoiding public scrutiny during the takedown." -- www.inquirer.com/news/philade...

Quick, dust off another stupid half remembered idea from 1950s scifi and pretend it means there’s a market for enough lift capacity to put Toledo in orbit.

$24 million buys you like five patriot pac-3 missiles and zero ships

The Oz Diet™️ (diarrhea)

Americans wanted a dictator because burrito taxis were too expensive.

Ope.

Per WaPo, they will also begin production of the $1 coins with Trump’s face on it - per Bessent’s announcement. I couldn’t find the official treasury statement yet.

This is a terrific illustration -- for elected officials but also for media figures -- of the incredible power of simply refusing to take a bullshit dodge for an answer. Keep asking the question, over and over again, and make the weasels squirm.

Since we're apparently getting the Incredibly Stupid And Pointless Space Mirror, here's why a space mirror is incredibly stupid and pointless. www.physicsmatt.com/blog/2026/5/...

God that “I weigh 50 pounds more than you” just really makes the whole sentence 100x more evil than an already very evil sentence was

So the oil companies are sacrificing profits in order to help the fascists in the November elections, right? Like there's no way that they're passing their full risk and costs on at the gas pump right now, is there?

You heard it here first: Todd Blanche won't be the country's lawyer, he'll be the President's lawyer.

next time someone asks me why we need good government I’m going to yell DIARRHEA LETTUCE

Ooh, I hope it's another deal where Trump completely surrenders to them and is too dumb to notice. Those are everyone's favorite.

WHITEHOUSE: Why won't you tell us what became of the $50,000 in confidential money that the FBI reported it gave to Tom Homan? BLANCHE: I'm not aware of what you're speaking about. To the extent there has been public reporting about an investigation, I know nothing about it.

“At least five people — including Jonah Neal in May — have been shot by a member of the Memphis Safe Task Force. Four of those confrontations were fatal.”

ICE facility for who now

I wrote about what looks very much like a formal US plan to institutionalize a global network of concentration camps.

If you're gloating about being right all along about Graham Platner, you will like this article. If "leftists" like Matt Stoller hadn't framed him as a way to purge the Democrats of women in power, MAGA wouldn't be seeing an opportunity in this. www.salon.com/2026/07/15/m...
