Most of the World Cup games were in blue cities. Thousands of complimentary videos. An amazing event handled incredibly well. Not a word from Dems taking a victory lap

TRUMP ON HIS POINTLESS WAR: “We’re making a lot of money. The defense companies are doing great.”🤔 Unreal. There you have it, folks.

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.

17 US service members have been killed in Trump's Iran war and more than 400 wounded, but the Pentagon has stopped disclosing when troops are injured and didn't even reveal three strikes against US forces last week. More than 1,700 Iranian civilians have been killed. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/20/u...

The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

The states' intervention worked for now.

In addition to being morally abhorrent, this is both factually wrong as to the people who ICE has killed and legally wrong as to when lethal force can be used.

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

Pete Hegseth: "We need our warriors to embrace the Spartan mindset" U.S. Military: *suffers crushing defeat to the Persians*

They poured a lot of money into something people didn't want. Pretty fitting tribute to Kirk's TPUSA work, actually.

Everyone coming on my feed and explaining to me that all is lost, I note what I have noted before, that there are no Negro Spirituals entitled, “Welp, I Guess It All Sucks and I Am Giving Up.”

Roger Marshall has really been gunning for the title of Dumbest Senator lately. Might have to wait for Tuberville to retire but he's in the running.

🚨Lauren Gutterman, former chair of the American Studies department and AAUP UT Austin Chapter VP: “Iván’s case is a warning for all faculty across the university, because it suggests that achieving excellence in your field is no longer enough to secure tenure and promotion.” ⬇️

*These* are the higher education stories that matter, not some half-assed report farted out by a group of faculty cranks at ivy and ivy-adjacent universities

The administration that thought the best way to defeat COVID was to hide the deaths has now moved on to Iran

maybe you should be concerned about the people ICE agents have buried

They made so few mistakes in Minnesota that two people were murdered, the ICE head was let go, and the agency has been sued numerous times for its crimes. Other than that? Flawless.

THAT IS NOT HOW THE AMERICAN JUSTICE SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THE PENALTY FOR “FAILURE TO COMPLY” IS NOT A FUCKING DEATH SENTENCE!

Fellow Americans, behold the United States President, opining with all the maturity, dignity and splendor of his high office:

When Democrats retake the House and start launching subpoenas at Homan and his thugs, remember that he believes any failure to comply with authorities is grounds for having that person immediately killed.

The chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee seems to have no understanding of foreign relations, but that's probably not a problem.

Oh, so the suspect was a white guy then.

$100 to any reporter who asks him, "so you're saying Capitol Police should've shot dead everyone who breached the Capitol on January 6?"

Good.

This is about Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio). Sounds like a heckuva guy. Read the full story by Abby Vesoulis here: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ok quick why 338 matters: never-previously-used section of the smoot-hawley tariff act. allows the President to impose up to 50% duties on imports from countries that, in his view discriminate against American commerce. no time limit. unclear on judicial/congressional review.

ohmygod they actually did it, it's 338 tariffs, holy fuck www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

Trump has been on a tear reviving some of the greatest mistakes in American history and now, by God, he's dug into the Hawley-Smoot Tariff of 1930. If you were awake in your high school American history class, you should be panicking now.

also they weren’t that prominent in advertising, the chuds just kept on consuming only the content that keeps them perpetually hopped up on anger

The chuds are struggling out in the Takes Mines “This DEI movie had less DEI than I thought, and here’s why I’m mad about that”

to make an analogy, even if you have an unloaded weapon, if you wave it around and say "we could use this on you": it is not exactly a surprise when people react negatively

The 1997 Flores settlement says children can only be in immigration detention for 20 days. A new legal filing shows that kids at CoreCivic's detention facility in Dilley, TX have been there as long as 323 days, & includes firsthand accounts of the abuse guards are inflicting on children.

And I want a pony, too!

This week, TPS for Haitians is expected to end. No state will feel the impact more than Florida, home to roughly 350,000 -- many of them healthcare workers. “The workers are suffering, but the patients are going to suffer more.” My latest for @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

On vacation this week but ICYMI, I wrote about what we've recently learned re: how ICE incorporating its 'UAC Safety Verification Initiative' into the scope of the agency's Task Force 287(g) program, and the layered contracts hiding the bounty rewards behind this work.

People are shocked when they come to DC now and see groups of fully armed soldiers patrolling our neighborhoods. Trump's occupation of DC has been going on for nearly a year — and he wants it to go on forever. We refuse to allow this to become normalized and continue to call for it to end.
