Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

"Trump is having 'episodes of what would be called outright lunacy, if they occurred in any other setting,' and … if he 'were in virtually any other position of responsibility, action would already be under way to remove him from that role.'"

This essay nails what is confusing to many. Jesus Christ is the Word made Flesh. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/conservati...

If we’re going to have a “national day of remembrance,” as the Senate wants, let’s have it be for Virginia Giuffre—the child who worked at the Mar-a-Lago spa, was trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell, and raped by Prince Andrew and others, eventually committing suicide. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

About once a month I find this song stuck in my head and I wish this was a real band.

The richest 100 billionaires in the U.S. have a net worth totaling $3.86 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is collectively worth $4 trillion. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

With the news yesterday of Israel killing 5 additional journalists in Gaza, this documentary is so timely. Israel's calculus is that the PR hit from killing journalists is less than the PR hit from press coverage of the genocide. Dems in Congress should watch this and then vote to end U.S. support.

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause. The removal was blamed on a "coding error." Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...

"Fox communications show Pirro's executive producer describing her as a reckless maniac who is nuts, promotes conspiracy theories, and should never be on live television." Better make her one of the top prosecutors in the country, then! @timmiller.bsky.social, with @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social:

"Lie. Deny. Attack reporters. Blame former presidents. Sneer. Check, check, check, check, check."

Looks like Paramount’s $16 million settlement with Trump is only the second highest sum it’s paid this month to get publicly ridiculed. Good for South Park for taking Paramount’s $1.5 billion and still skewering them for their cowardice. They deserve it.

God bless South Park

It also covers two-thirds of all nursing home stays.

Ever NOT wonder why this angle of Trump’s “attempted assassination” was never shown

So Israel is bombing Syria to save some ethnic minority - while slaughtering human beings in Gaza - with our weapons - paid for by our tax dollars - cool !

Kristi Noem didn’t approve FEMA rescue teams for over 72 hours after the Texas floods, following a rule she imposed that required her personal sign-off on any operation over $100K. This is inexcusable. She should resign.

The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

So now the MAGA propaganda machine is spreading a rumor that Biden let all kinds of evil Iranians into the country. So I guess if there’s a terror attack it will be all Biden’s fault. Nice try, fuckers.

Thousands march through New York City’s Times Square protesting the bombing of Iran.

No funds to rebuild after devastating storms and fires, but troops if you demand basic human rights. Got it.

Trump's budget is back on track after Speaker Johnson made concessions to GOP hardliners on Sunday. The holdouts demanded the bill's devastating Medicaid cuts — already the largest in history — be made even deeper and faster. Their priorities couldn’t be clearer.

So basically the position of the Trump Admin is if Ukraine doesn’t agree to all of Putin’s demands, and hand over their power plants and mineral rights to the US, then they don’t want peace so we should walk away from them.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

“Concerns varied by location. In Ketchum, Idaho … one sign showed Smokey Bear and read, ‘Only you can prevent forest fires. Seriously. We’ve been defunded. It’s just you now.’”

“The Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine official, Dr. Peter Marks, abruptly resigned Friday, saying in a searing letter that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s aggressive stance on vaccines was irresponsible and posed a danger to the public.”

Waltz Says He Used Signal for War Plans Because it Offered More Emojis

Trump never knows what his own administration is doing, but he’s fully aware of every single mean thing everyone on TV said about him that day.

BREAKING: People are being suspended on X in Turkey for posting videos of these protests against Erdoğan’s corrupt and repressive regime. Keep sharing everywhere.

So where are all of the news stories about the deluge of postcards addressed to President Trump, The White House on March 15th? More proof Freedom of the Press was a thing in the recent past ... When do we fight back in a REAL way?

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop them from forming. Keep up the fight.
