Buttigieg: You can see it in the carnival of corruption that is Washington, D.C., today. The leader of the free world flying around in a secondhand jumbo jet from a foreign country while he makes a billion dollars on crypto deals propped up by foreign leaders.

The Internet is forever

More corruption, and public safety be damned. Another Liz Oyer @lawyeroyer.com must-see video short. www.youtube.com/shorts/A7giH...

Ya Think?

A contractor building Meta's data center flushed its "closed-loop" cooling system straight into Cheyenne's sewer. It carried a bacterium and knocked the city's water-reuse system offline for months. They sell these as sealed systems that barely touch the water. This one poisoned a city's.

This is Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith. Pastor and self-proclaimed Christian Nationalist.

I recall a time when the FBI—and the Department of Defense and White House—weren’t run by ignorant men perpetually stuck in the 7th grade.

Someone asked me why I stopped capitalizing the president's name in my posts. Simple. donald trump does not deserve upper case. He represents the lowest sort of human.

It will come as a surprise to no one that the "Justice" department is *obstructing justice* in this investigation. Which tells you in bright neon letters that there's something they do NOT want them to find.

trump is guaranteeing that the 2026 midterms will be chaotic. Yes, the same criminal who cheated in in 2020, who organized an insurrection when he lost, and who pressured Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes." This is a warning that he WILL CHEAT again. www.votebeat.org/national/202...

He doesn’t care if he loses the election because he plans to steal it if he can. He can’t!

And DHS has been desperately trying to get these three witnesses to self deport. ICE has been using the “weaponized vehicle” excuse to murder people for a decade plus. It’s all coming out now with the microscope on them. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Four weeks. Mitch McConnell has been completely out of public view, hospitalized since mid-June with zero transparency from his office. Is he alive? Brain dead? Recovering? Yet DC reporters can’t be bothered to demand real answers or even basic updates. The media’s selective silence is deafening.

Spending our tax money to support his cronies while forcing higher energy prices and contributing to global warming. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Five facts that you should know about the current Cyclospora outbreak.

Still waiting for my prescription costs to come down 500%, and maybe 600% as trump repeatedly declares.

Adam Mockler calls out trump's cognitive decline at the NATO conference where he referred to Volodymyr Zelenskyy as "Putin', called out missiles fired by 'Islamic Republic of Japan', and declares "Greenland is a big problem for us." www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI5N...

Funny and appropriate

ICE has not quieted down. It’s even worse. It’s just become less visible and less covered by the media. Here's what you should know. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ice-is-even-worse

Today we have Schrödinger's Mitch McConnell.

Whitewashing History: This report follows 2025 executive orders directed by trump to remove "ideological indoctrination" from federal and federally funded institutions. JD Vance has been tasked with overseeing a federal review process for museum content related to race and gender identity.

Apparently hell has frozen over. I’m reposting Glenn Beck now.

@jakesdaddio.bsky.social Is your account jacked? Got this DM from you.

Delusion and hunger for power is a trait shared by putin and trump. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

The U.S. exerts control over almost one hundred million barrels of Venezuelan oil worth an estimated $8 billion...but so far, the U.S. has only put forward $300 million in aid after those devastating earthquakes. The U.S. has also not announced a halt to deportations of Venezuelans.

Despite trump's ongoing arguments, the Constitution does not grant the President any specific powers over elections. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Love how they're just minding their business instead of trying to take over protected land in Albania to build a billionaire retreat.

So. Will trump be calling FIFA to scream at them that the game was rigged?

Vile and hateful, without a single redeeming quality. trump. people.com/donald-trump...

The orange felon blames mail-in voting, immigrants and felons for destroying America, yet he marries immigrants, he votes by mail and he’s a convicted felon. Funny how that bullshit hypocrisy works.

Hey @chicagotribune.com Editorial Board: Why did you describe me as a “bomb-throwing influencer”? This is wrong, inflammatory, and racist. Change it. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/05/e...

For most of us, seeing the Klan 2.0, a.k.a. Patriot Front, march through Washington, D.C., unchallenged by authorities overshadowed any celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. My ancestors lived through this. And no one today can say with a straight face that racism is behind us.
