I loathe him as a mercenary, unprincipled, corporate/police state shill. But he is performing a basic political task: seeing a parade and getting out in front of it. Most members of the D ruling class ask if the parade has a permit and why they are being so unruly.

More about the dogs here. They’re both sweethearts. Critical to know that Willow had a botched spay that means she needs daily meds and wears a diaper. Buffy is a lap dog who prone to resource guarding. They need love and care for a year so we can avoid multiple transatlantic moves with them.

Hello friends, I need some help. My family is moving to Madrid, Spain for a year in August. We want to find someone to care for our dogs while we are gone. All expenses paid plus you get $2500 per dog. Willow is 9yo black lab mix who wears diapers. Buffy is 6yo Havanese mix who loves laps. More:

Look if you think it’s fine for Trump to corruptly get a red card revoked (or “suspended”) bc FIFA is already corrupt, maybe you understand the MAGA mindset better than you think. “All politicians are corrupt so it’s ok for Trump to be corrupt” is a very common maga rationalization

New at the Smotus Report: I doubt a Trump attempt at a third term would succeed, but it could substantially injure American democracy for decades to come

"..Donald Trump approved just 23 percent of disaster funding requests from states with Democratic governors and Democratic senators, while at the same time, over roughly the same period, states with Republican governors and Republican senators had their [requests approved] 89 percent of the time.."

OK, this is approaching Deflategate. Is the appeal to the same guy who made the original decision? Please tell me it is.

1/ I appreciate Howell Raines giving me credit for naming "Alabamafication." A lot has happened since I coined that term in the spring of 2016, and I've come to think it's no longer sufficient. 🧵

Such a good question.

I’m not even ON threads but I’ve seen this more than once, and this is exactly it

Florida folks: If you have O- blood and are of African or African American descent, OneBlood is searching for donors who have a rare antigen that matches with a teenager with sickle cell disease who needs 50 units of blood so she can have a bone marrow transplant.

Wildland firefighters are away from home this holiday protecting lives. Three firefighters were killed in Colorado last week. When tragedy strikes, Wildland Firefighters Foundation assists families & injured firefighters. I’ll match the next fifty $5 donations: wffoundation.org/kyle-clarks-...

This is going to end with Vance barefoot outside Canossa.

The chemistry of fireworks is interesting, and by that I mean interesting in a way that isn’t good for you

"What is propelling the popularity of the socialists is less an upswell in Marx reading and more the fact that these candidates are touting policy positions and a fighting attitude that would solve the problems of the people," writes @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/you-cant-s...

@pedinska.bsky.social Interesting; effects physics (wind, temp, stadium architecture) on ball trajectory.

"The Park Service, in a separate document, similarly said that people should ‘wear an n95 mask when outdoors’ and ‘remain indoors as much as possible during and after the show.’” The guidance is to remain indoors ... during the fireworks. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Public lands are where many of us first fell in love with nature. But millions of acres could be at risk. We've stopped these efforts before, and we can do it again. This #4thofJuly, let's celebrate by telling Congress to keep public lands in public hands. 🌎 https://nature.ly/3SXNwwV

Not safe to be anywhere near the national mall tomorrow, friends. The name of the company Trump picked for the fireworks, Pyrotecnico, sounded familiar. www.nbcboston.com/news/local/i...

Early in Trump's first term, David Frum wrote that every time Trump and MAGA say "the deep state" you should hear "rule of law," then it'll make more sense. That stuck with me. And I thought of it again as an unqualified and unconfirmed director of national intelligence conducts political purges.

The evidence is there for all to see. The only people in denial now are the ignorant and the army of client journalists paid to lie, minimise and obfuscate about it. The same people, tactics used by big tobacco in some cases. Just a lot more money behind them.

To celebrate the nation's 250th anniversary, why not honor our history of protest by submitting public comments opposing the proposed OMB rule to have political appointees review and issue grants? We offer talking points to help you in the document below. Deadline for public comments is July 13th.

My posts most days. I'm sorry.

I assume this "scoop" was leaked on purpose as a trial balloon. As such, we can learn the following from it: - At least some of Harris's people think Gaza was *a* reason she lost if not *the* reason - They are seeking a way to run again and not be DOA in the primary - They think they are fixable

If I were JD Vance I'd be beating a swift retreat.

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

From NYT: “An outraged Trump ordered his top aides to press MBS to allow the US to use Saudi airspace for Trump's effort to force open the Strait of Hormuz. Vance, Rubio, Witkoff and Kushner made separate calls. MBS didn't back down — he had lost confidence in Trump.”

@pedinska.bsky.social Nope they won't back the fuck off; true colors - they'd rather the GOP win. Tells, you a lot. And, then there is 'effin' Polis. thank The Universe he's term limited. (gift) www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

Blessedly, the man is term limited in CO, but the ROW should remember how utterly *awful* he's become. If he shows up in 2028, Just Say, No.

To Justices Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson, I am very sorry.

OK, People... If this waste of space chooses to run in '28, please do remember what an utter asshole he is. Butt hurt and 'effin petty about it. I think we have another present experience to draw on, yes?
