Vote on “amendments” to each horrible aspect of it one by one. (1) no money for pedophiles, (2) no money for cop beaters, (3) presidents family must not only be subject to audit but must disclose all taxes and stock trades, etc., etc. Make each vote more painful than the last.

Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee says he won't stop Thursday's scheduled execution of Tony Carruthers, a severely mentally ill man who was forced to represent himself *at his own capital murder trial* because the judge simply got tired of dealing with him

Trump's power over the GOP is simple - without really trying, he embodies what GOP primary voters *sincerely want* better than anyone else in the party. So the whole institution just organically bends to him even as his brain dissolves. What they want is dumb, bigoted sadism, and he still delivers.

“The U.S. and Israel bombed Ahmadinejad to free Ahmadinejad but the plan failed after Ahmadinejad did not enjoy being bombed as much as he thought he would. Meanwhile, the Kentucky 6th district has deposed its representative due to his opposition to pedophilia.” Sure. Fine. Whatever. I give up.

2 things, 1. Massie's "anti-Trump" stand was never moral, it was never about victims or "waking up" its that Massie believes that the Epstein Files are the Protocols and will reveal the Jewish conspiracy 2. Massie never broke with Trump he was running ads saying he was the real Trump candidate

gop primary news is like “in surprising upset, pedophile hitler defeats establishment hitler by narrow margin”

saying you’ll disregard this document in its entirety is the hot new litmus test (complimentary)

Openly supportive of an attempted coup against the American republic and its constitution.

Hey, you got part of that $1,776,000,000 slush fund? Good news. You’re paying that back with interest. You’re working on a contract that is illegal? Congratulations! You’re paying that back with interest. Insider trading? You bet your bonnet that you’re paying that back with interest.

I'm no big time Democratic consultant, but if I were, I'd sure be advising the party to put out ads saying that Republicans cut funds for kids with brain cancer so they could give money to child molesters.

the republicans believe pedophiles should collect your tax dollars for being convicted of participating in a coup attempt

There’s a direct line between the failure of Reconstruction and the moment we are in now. You could probably say we’re facing a Second Confederacy and that the Civil War was not a finality, but the first battle against a reactionary force that poses an existential threat to the republic.

lol, here we go *TRUMP ENDORSES PAXTON IN TEXAS GOP SENATE PRIMARY RUNOFF

Last week: "crush their souls" This week: "break their spirit" Welcome to the Resistance, Mr. Minority Leader.

Part of reasserting Congressional supremacy is that we're going to need to streamline inherent contempt. Congress is the fountainhead, through which sovereignty flows from its source (the People). It must be able to vindicate that authority in the face of contemptuous, mocking witnesses

In an unusual flight path, jet flies into World Trade Center.

Our hearts break with each new emerging detail from the deadly, hate-fueled shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego.

I know we're long past the point where this should be shocking anymore, but I still can't get over official government accounts stating that Jesus is "our Savior."

this has got to be the worst time in american history to make the totally sensible and correct argument that we should pay people in congress more than we do

"It's hard to believe that it would take two centuries for the Lord to raise up a great man to bring that ballroom finally to stand where it needs to stand." A real thing that was said, without shame, at a Christian prayer rally.

This is extraordinarily bad polling across the board, and if it were a Democrat getting such miserable marks, the political media would be talking about a failed presidency. But it’s Trump. So instead, they’re delicately tiptoeing around dozens of utterly unprecedented abuses of office.

New NYT poll has Dems +11 in the generic House ballot matchup. Among independents it's +18 points. If accurate, that has the makings of a blue wave and I wonder if it gets South Carolina Republicans to rethink their gerrymander before it's too late.

At this point, journalists who still persist in declining to talk about racism and cruelty as key GOP motivators are essentially colluding in writing fiction about the present state of politics and of the country.

For all it mattered, he could have stopped RFK and Hegseth and ended up with the same result but a better government

🗃️ You’re mad that Nolan’s Odyssey includes people of color. I’m mad that Nolan’s Odyssey doesn’t include the insanely tacky rainbow of colors that were used to paint everything in Ancient Greece. We are not the same.

Got a notification from a medieval copyright lawyer

I'm in Liberal Currents! With some possibly crazy ideas for how to defend multiracial democracy in the face of the ongoing legitimacy crisis

the trump administration assertion that it is “unlawful” for private organizations to pursue diversity is nonsense. what this is, once again, is an effort to roll back desegregation that the ABA has surrendered to.

This is why “we’re more polarized than ever” & “Americans don’t agree on anything” is so unconvincing & wildly ahistorical. There has always, & sadly might always be, a far right authoritarian minority in 🇺🇸. The question is whether mainstream conservatives ally with it. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

The serious takeaway from this report about voters who think the Iran war is worth the economic pain is one influential Democrats and pundits dislike: These are adults with agency making a choice. Money is not their priority. Respect that, and accept that you can't win them with material benefits.

TPUSA was promoting an anti-trans event on Juniper's campus when she was stabbed to death Sunday. I'm pretty well-informed + I only heard about this today on the "It Could Happen Here" podcast. Violence against trans and nonbinary people has skyrocketed in recent years. Media coverage is dismal.

really insightful and horrifying stuff from @thefarce.org

First- through sixth-rate men-of-war

lotta ppl sayin wild things rn

So sometimes a church can just be a really good wall

never not going to be mad that Trump broke all the norms on presidential financial and health transparency, and yet was somehow not the president that the media concocted a hidden health scandal about.

Writing has been independently invented maybe four times in human history. Radiocarbon dating has found evidence that the original inhabitants of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) invented writing independently. buff.ly/PS5nm5j #ShareGoodNewsToo

naturally

Just to be totally clear the thing I advocated back in late 2020 was for Biden and the Democrats to disqualify the Republicans who voted against certifying the election, then using those temporary congressional majorities to pass Court Reform, Electoral Reform and add several states

putting a marker down: expanding the court is going to be the consensus position among Dem presidential candidates in 2028

"He walks in Shadow now", explained the spokesman. "He is where the Silence goes to Die, and where the Moon dances eternal upon the Void---dancing, dancing, dancing---I see it still, by the pale towers of Carcosa, by the Black Stars! He continues to work diligently for his constituents every day."

Knowing the English courts, you probably can. "ACTION WAS HEARD TODAY UPON THE ASSIZES AT GLEWSLEYDALE-UPON-THYNE, WHEREIN THE PLAINTIFF WAS HEARD TO COMPLAIN THAT THE TEDDINGTON BLUETITS DID NOT HAVE AS THEIR MARQUE A CLOTHING-PIN."

So I'm fully aware that dictionaries disagree with me on this, but "coronate" is a fake verb. The word is "crown." One is crowned at a coronation.

Perfect summation of the type: "people whose personalities and value systems have been replaced by a long catalog of vapid gripes" But "the hamburger dipshit" also works

How in May 2026 is it journalism to treat this like a good-faith "investigation," writing a straight-news lead when all objective evidence is to the contrary — as covered by your own publication? Embarrassing shit, @washingtonpost.com.

a very bleak development in terms of my view of the world in the last few years has been both ‘the Israeli govt is much worse than I thought and deserves an enormous amount of criticism’ and ‘yeah a lot of people geniunely are just low-grade antisemitic’ both apparently being true.
