What’s sad to me… is that Lindsay Graham probably thought he could outlast Trump and then reconcile his morality after that. There is no after that now. It’s a good reminder… always do what you know to be right, right NOW. And when you recognize you crossed a line, that’s ok, but come back.

one way to trump proof the future structure of govt is to make a lot of agency court-like institutions into actual courts with actual article iii judges

having people like this on a jury is why there’s no such thing as a slam dunk case

The difference in Obama and Trump, is the difference between watching an academy award winning movie, and then watching a cat puke up a hairball. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

Nothing says good old fashioned 4th of July American patriotism like flying to a speech in a grifted Qatari jet.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

The thing you need to understand is that there are 2 (TWO) different method for amending the constitution 1) The process laid out in the constititon itself (conventions, or 2/3's of both houses followed by 3/4 of states ratifying) OR 2) find five votes on the Supreme Court.

@kenwhite.bsky.social I'm confused. I thought this was a settlement between adverse parties. How can DOJ unilaterally change its terms? apnews.com/live/trump-a...

Another woman gets liked out of Trump's cabinet. Not that she didn't deserve it but when is he going to fire the equally incompetent male members of his cabinet?

Isn't the fact that he was stopped before breaching security proof that a White House ballroom is not needed for security purposes? 🤔

The new WH ballroom is actually smaller than the Hilton’s. It would not accommodate the number of guests for WHCD.

Interesting

this lund guy is right

Christopher Hale: "Pete Hegseth's Bible ends in the Old Testament. He never seems to invoke the New Testament, the message of peace, the message of Jesus"

True… 👀 🎯

Stop calling the department of defense by the fake tough unofficial name the fake tough babies gave it. By statute & still by statute, it’s the department of defense. Stop accepting this juvenile garbage masquerading as accomplishments. Be an adult. Demand our officials be adults

thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

It just gets worse and worse

This, from @jamellebouie.net is exactly right. And I think so many folks have refused to see or admit what Trump is because admitting implicates them, or their families, so denial is easier.

A former federal agent after watching the New York Times breakdown of the ICE shooting:

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

MAGA isn't a Political party, it's the Last Stand / the Last Blitzkrieg for White Dominance in a country that is no longer a foundation of White Supremacy, but a Melting Pot. It's fear-driven. It's feigned ignorance. It's a community sacrifice. It's weak-men panic.

Presenting to the court an indictment the grand jury didn't actually approve or even see might be the most flabbergasting thing that's ever happened in a federal criminal case.

I don't want to jump to any hasty conclusions here, but this email exchange from 2011 between Jeff Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell about Donald Trump having spent hours alone with an underage girl does seem like it might be bad for him.

EXPLOSIVE Epstein emails have been revealed “‘I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump.’ He added that an unnamed victim ‘spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned.’” “Mr. Epstein..asserted that Mr. Trump ‘knew about the girls,’” RELEASE THE FILES

Robert Garcia says House Democrats are likely to release more Epstein-related documents later today and adds, "we want to know why Donald Trump spent the entire campaign saying he would release the files and now that he's in the White House, there's a massive coverup going on."

Good morning everyone Coffee and this In all my years Never thought I'd ever see letting children go hungry and families lose their healthcare What have we become ?

This perfectly encapsulates what the GOP position is on the shutdown.

They tried to indict her three times on felony counts. Three grand juries said no. So they reduced the charges to a misdemeanor. See below for the outcome.

It use to be you saw something like this and think someone was naughty. Now you have to figure out if they were naughty or is this retribution by the Trump administration. apnews.com/article/smar...

Live performance of "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield in 1967. The song was written in 1966 in response to the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles. It became an anthem for generational conflict, civil unrest, and later anti-war movements. "The lyrics are still so relevant."

Update from the war zone in Portland.

Driving in downtown Portland. What a war ravaged mess. Totally unsafe.

The correct answer was “as soon as Best Buy opens.”

War torn Portland (2025) 😞

Here we were entering this famous American “war zone.” It’s a miracle we made it out alive considering how many donuts we ate and how many hard-covered books we purchased.
