One of the reasons why the ongoing meltdown about Zohran asking people to set their A/C to 78 bothers me is that it seems to be a symptom of post-COVID unwillingness for individuals to do anything for the common good, and if we don’t have that we’re in a very bad place as a society.

As America marks 250 years, may we recommit to building a diverse democracy, an economy that works for the many and not just the few, and a future where every generation has the opportunity to live a dignified life. Happy 4th of July!

Trump is perpetually stuck in the culture of the 1980s and 1990s. It's so fascinating.

it's going to be a hard slog and there will be backslides but I think more people in this country understand the assignment than ever did before and we have Trump II to thank for it

At my Midwest town July 4 parade, I saw a cute little kid, whose parents are from Chile, wearing the jersey of Lamine Yamal, a Spanish soccer star whose parents came from Morocco and Equatorial Guinea, cheer as some old Shiners did wheelies in scooters streaming American flags. That’s my country.

My friend's mom wanted to get a birthday cake for America, but she couldn't find anything good at Walmart, so she went to Rancho Market and got a cake that said "¡Feliz cumpleaños!" and I've never heard of anything more American than that. Happy 250, America.

Read the Matthew Harris books “Watchman on the Tower” (author) and “Thunder From the Right” (editor) to instantly go completely insane

JD Vance is clearly just a Protestant.

Nehls on how House GOP will make case for affordability back home: Nehls: What are you talking about? I'm gonna get me lobster tails. Some nice rib eyes. Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford that? Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe they don't work as hard as me.

Whether it’s Obama attracting 1.8 million people to his inauguration or Trump attracting 80 people to his 250th anniversary celebration, both presidents attracted unusual numbers of people to their signature events.

We are ruled by the Council of Nine. They rule for life & are completely unaccountable. Their agent, the president, is empowered to enact their will but will be placed on a short leash when he displeases them. Congress can raise and appropriate funds the president can use or not to his liking.

I'll say again liberal society need not cower in the face of xenophobia. It is imperative that we, especially in pop culture, make the affirmative case for an open and welcoming America. That taking anyone with the chutzpah to move to this strange and wonderful land has and will be our superpower.

The Supreme Court is making a string of the worst decisions that you've ever heard of and the markets are high on their own supply. We must pack the court, overturn this insanity, and bolster our checks and balances to ensure that we are not held hostage by a radicalized America hating judiciary.

Utah is burning. The fires are nowhere near contained, hundreds of thousands of acres have burned and three firefighters have already died. But the same MAGAts who have spent the last 18 months blaming Newsom and Bass for the L.A. fires are calling Cox a p*ssy for listening to wildfire experts. 🤦‍♀️🤡

This is such lame authoritarian shit. He thinks he's Mussolini or Stalin or even Big Brother but he's that guy in Turkmenistan

No one mourns the wicked.

Everything I don't like, including the new Utah flag, is Marxism.

IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS OF NATIONAL HUMILIATION.

We will never have any hope of moral progress until we declare that the republic is about more than luxury real estate and influencer culture. We must reject the opiate of domination for the purifying hardship of Commonwealth and liberty for all. Feel the bite of the morning wind. Live.

...... i'm sorry, they wanted to invade greenland because red lobster nixed the unlimited shrimp promotion? www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

You fascist fuckwads quite literally voted to defund Elmo.

the idea that there is a latent far-left socialist majority that refuses to vote is legitimately just the political equivalent of a cargo cult

say what you will, the american civic religion pounds certain ideas bone-deep into all of us. one of them is that america is an experimental nation, built on the ideas of freedom and equality set out in the Declaration

New reporting suggests that ICE is looking to sell its planned Salt Lake City warehouse: www.fox13now.com/news/local-n... #utpol #Utah

The art of the deal

Trump is waiting to party on the South Lawn after surrendering to Iran. My latest: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Still thinkin about him equating The Pope, man that he is supposed to revere as Direct Representative Of God On Earth, to Pastor Jim Bob of the Louisville First Pentecostal Church, Hair Salon, and Tire Center Like what do you even say lmao

The Dems showered those "hicks and rednecks" with literal billions in IRA subsidies and they thanked them by spitting in their faces and voting for Trump by Assad margins.

Ms. Rachel: As the American Academy of Pediatrics says, there is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. The Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.

the real political correctness is that you can’t go on the news and say that this is hick shit

For decades, Dan Patrick has sold out the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable to enrich his donors. Love feels like blasphemy when you worship power.

Yeah, this is my city.

i mean we had one of the Trump data/poll people saying midterms are gonna be much worse than what public polls are showing. The NRSC had terrible polls across the Senate Battlegrounds. Iran continuing will make this go from 2006 redux to the worst midterm since Watergate

i got a few dogs in this fight actually

CORNYN: “.. He’s going to have the most miserable two years of his life in the last two years of his term, I think, because I think November is going to be a disaster.” @nytimes.com #TXsen www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/u...

somehow "the president installed an Ultimate Fighting Championship arena on the White House grounds that is larger than the White House itself" doesn't even begin to capture the world-historical degree of trashiness of what Trump has achieved here. it looks so much worse than that sentence sounds

Someday soon, God willing, we’ll welcome him back home with open arms

Love that the left has now discovered the “well we’re not electing a Sunday school teacher” genre of defense of the indefensible.

I'm sorry, but a Mormon critiquing the validity of someone else's Christianity is rich

I would strongly encourage these voters to give into their desires and never vote in an election ever again

Ken Paxton looking like that alien from Men In Black in a human suit

Every piece about swing voters is a reminder of how little these people care about democracy, the rule of law, or the American experiment. Being a Biden/Trump swing voter is beyond shameful. www.npr.org/2026/05/28/n...

Learned recently there's a whole subculture of halal BBQ joints in texas, originally because Texas's quite-large Muslim population couldn't eat at ones that also prepared pork, but now it's a whole thriving culinary niche. Real "glorious American melting pot" stuff

I have had quite enough of this white trash fever dream of a presidency

my pilot’s license is 95% done. the remaining 5% is focused on learning to fly a plane.

Thank God Trump is solving a problem that he created. But I'll also believe it once the papers are signed and Hormuz is open.

All McConnell had to do was whip people to convict on Jan 6th and this wouldn't be happening

Oh no, I have a dark sense of humor, its incredibly funny that this country thought they were pulling the lever for the 2019 economy again and instead got exactly what they pulled the lever for, in truth.
