Remember, we learned in 2021 that a win by the out party in a Virginia gubernatorial election fully nullifies any presidential mandate. I don’t make the rules

🚨 Our veterans spent months, sometimes years away from their families and friends to protect our country, our homeland. To see the angst they feel now, knowing what has been destroyed by this administration is worse than sickening or tragic — it is an abomination. They deserve SO MUCH BETTER! 💔 1/2

The guy who got famous betting against the housing market in 2007 just before that bubble burst - played by Christian Bale jn “The Big Short” - just wagered $1 billion on the collapse of the AI boom. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

“However, those with Cava bags full of cash can obtain dispensation.”

It’s that simple isn’t it? Trump just pulled up a map of where the oil and minerals are.

Really worth reading the entire 60 minutes interview transcript but admit this part got me laughing out loud.

"The Sanders/Mamdani style of democratic socialism is, whatever its merits, at least compatible with America’s tradition of liberal democracy. The Trump style of national socialism is not."

“The United States is now a nation run by public servants who behave no better than internet trolls,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues. “Who’s responsible for these choices? Your mother, apparently”: https://theatln.tc/LNqNkLuT

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

Quick, call Steven Miller:

Backstab the blue. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Trumpist health care policy turns out to work like Trumpist trade policy: You navigate a bureaucratic tangle by requesting the personal intercession of the executive.

This is brilliant

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

Moving on from Kavanaugh Stops to Kavanaugh Shootings.

If a pardon happens and the President says he doesn't know anything about it, did it happen?

"Here’s what sticks out about my experience: being put in the back of an unmarked SUV and with handcuffs that were put on so tight, I have permanently lost feeling in my thumb; not being read my rights or being told what I was being charged with beyond not minding my business."

“.. Guests were seen mimicking ‘Roaring 20's’ era attire, a period just before the Great Depression that historians note for its staggering income inequity.” 🤡 @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

💰"Welcome to governance-by-trolling, where the entire apparatus of the federal government has been repurposed into a machine for generating likes, shares, and the tears of political opponents. ... It’s just a Presidency that is there to troll people it doesn’t like. That’s literally all they do."

“For my friends, anything. For my enemies, the Law.”

This is fucking amazing

There’s a name for this. C O R R U P T I O N

Obama: The weird videos of a U.S. President with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet and dumping poop on protesting citizens… All of that is designed to distract you from the fact that your situation has not gotten better.

Confirmation from TV entertainer and inexplicably Secretary of War/Defense/whatevs Pete Hegseth.

Serial liars claiming the power to kill anyone they say is “affiliated” with “narco-terrorist” groups are asserting that they have a right to kill anyone they feel like, since they have repeatedly been caught lying about exactly that (such as false accusations against Kilmar Abrego Garcia).

Everything the “don’t tread on me” folks claimed to care about is being done by the people they now blindly support

On the left, the refurbished Lincoln bathroom. On the right, picture I took in Saddam Hussein's palace in Basra in 2005.

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

Posting a photo of Ceausescu’s bathroom for no apparent reason.

Driving more of our allies into the arms of China www.bbc.com/news/article...

Mike Johnson has the House adjourned for 42 days, Trump just came back from a week in Asia, remodeled a WH bathroom and flew to Palm Beach for a golf weekend, they refuse to negotiate with Dems, Dems had to sue to get Trump to release SNAP funds, but Republicans are blaming Dems.

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

Sad day for the folks who staked their reputations on lab leak conspiracy theories. www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

Tom Nichols: “This whole notion of deploying riot control troops to every city — for what? What kind of disorder are they expecting? Perhaps millions of people voting, going to the streets to express their choice in an election?” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

"Did Bisignano know that Fiserv’s stock was about to tank, and ask his friend Donald Trump for a life raft?"

NEW: Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and others have taken over military homes that until recently housed senior officers. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇

I would read the hell out of a deeply reported piece on how the media/political elite addiction to Twitter is shaping their views, which in turn shape the views of millions of people. It's a total reality-warper.

lmao david byrne showed the video of the ice agents tripping over themselves while trying to run after a biker on wacker drive during the “life during wartime” segment of his chicago show tonight

WE FOUND THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE: FBI Director Kash Patel used a $60 million government jet for a booty call during the shutdown. Not the first time. In April, he made multiple trips to Nashville to see his 26-year-old country-singer girlfriend and even flew her around to hockey games.

"Resuming nuclear testing looks weak and petulant, not strong and confident," writes Tom Nichols. "No American president should ever let the Kremlin get under his skin—especially not where nuclear weapons are concerned."
