Peter Doocy claims "people are still coming out" to Trump's 250th fair -- even as the camera shot shows clearly behind him that almost nobody is there 😆

Fred Olen Ray, master of verisimilitude.

Yes. You rarely get to change the world overnight. It's rarely a good idea, even if you did. You change it in degrees and bring people around to your way of thinking. Then you remind people all along who did it, and what more can be done. That's politics.

Prize Hog Drops Out Of Great American State Fair Due To Event’s Political Nature https://theonion.com/prize-hog-drops-out-of-great-american-state-fair-due-to-events-political-nature/

Democrats watching Democrats have success in elections:

Decided to look up the "Promise to America" document being hyped up in this piece, and it's literally just 6 points across 400 words. 1. Capitalism good, lower taxes good 2. Cops good 3. National debt bad 4. Government should make life better (no details) 5. Free speech good 6. America good

The Supreme Court is handing Trump a blank check for his cruel agenda to expel those fleeing violence and disaster. This is not commonsense reform — it’s only fueling Trump’s desire to attack people because of their skin color.

Dems have to run on this hard. Do not let the RFK types try to spin what his own party just signed off on here. Actual Monsanto, the comic book villain of Adbusters days, was shielded from liability over poisoning Americans. I don't care if it's slopulism: this Supreme Court wants you dead.

Never change, NYT, you trash paper. The paper would never ask if a "moderate" (i.e. conservative/GOP-Lite) Democratic candidate's views will hurt them. Also, she won "despite" her views? Have you considered that she won because of them?

Wow. Dems +12 on generic House ballot matchup in Pennsylvania, says Harry Enten. Trump is absolutely toxic there.

The most fatal millennial disease is pronouncing any five-syllable phrase with a similar cadence to the tune of "applebottom jeans, boots with the fur." The final boss of this exists, of course, on the Sweetgreen menu.

I will stop using my air conditioners when (points at the entire oil industry) they stop making the world hotter

Kagan makes sure that Trump’s gutter racism — and the majority hand-waiving it away — gets into the record.

WARREN: Is inflation higher than wage growth? PHELAN: Weekly inflation-adjusted earnings are higher than they were when Trump took office W: The Q I asked is is inflation higher than wage growth. You got one word to answer P: My word is, at-- W: At? That's it? At? You can't even do basic facts

The reasoning here is absurd enough that it should be part of the story: "Supreme Court rules that Trump statements that Haitians 'probably have AIDS,' are 'poisoning the blood of our country,' are 'eating cats and dogs," do not constitute racial animus."

good morning

Buster Keaton didn't stand still while a two-ton housefront collapsed on top of him with a window cut out to barely clear his shoulders on each side so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

PA is 9th state to opt out of Trump 250. Most others are very blue. Trump won PA twice. “We don’t celebrate one individual,” Shapiro tells me. “We celebrate ‘we, the people.’ The president doesn’t seem to get that." This shows how toxic Trump has become: newrepublic.com/article/2123...

Well, I spoke too soon, looks like HOLIDAY TOUCHDOWN is getting a third run on Hallmark after all Pre-production is reportedly up and running on HOLIDAY TOUCHDOWN: A BEARS LOVE STORY in Chicago, with filming set to start in about a week, and an official announcement expected as soon as tomorrow.

Some well-reasoned arguments here. One might even say... "infallible?" 🤔

pandering to trump's election denialism is such a sure sign that the person is a fucking worm

BREAKING: BOSTON (AP) - Federal judge bars Trump from implementing proof of citizenship requirement to vote.

I think the thing I like the most about Claire Valdez is that she not only takes bold stands in support of trans people, but that when people on the right try to use those positions to attack her, she's just like, "yes, that is correct."

Words used to mean things, right?

from my own perspective this is one of the greatest harms done by this government and plotting a course to reverse this damage is must be a very priority in our speech and our activism

Scientific American is 180 years old. The most eminent science magazine for the general public. And today, sold off as scrap to stop the staff from unionizing. Many top editors I've worked with for a decade on several articles have been fired. What a disgrace @sciam.bsky.social

I think we gotta bring this one back after this week

I’ve always been amazed at how the Manhattan Institute gets taken so seriously by so many when it hires people like this. I mean, this is pretty shockingly vile racism for a someone at a “respectable” think tank to spew.

Donald Trump: Duck Hitler

A Trans woman in Kansas changed her license to M because of the gender marker ban passed earlier this year. She gets pulled over and they didn't believe the license was hers. They later charge her for driving with an invalid license. She complied with the law and was still charged criminally.

The regime has sentenced dissidents to decades in prison for setting off fireworks and slashing tires.

I interviewed John Waters

"on track for its worst June ever, averaging just 1.7 million total viewers and 275,000 in the key demographic. It has already recorded its worst May on record and its lowest-rated quarter"

Pizza on a croissant. . . is that a thing?

I would just like to say that the next time these guys with access to money wanna burn a trillion dollars they can just give me a holler. I will help them spend it & I'll come up with plenty of dumb ideas
