I’m here to start a campaign to bring the Foxy Lox donut back to Veera Donuts in Missoula, MT.

Strongest argument for Democrats packing the Supreme Court is that we have never, in the whole history of the republic, had a Court that votes on almost all major decisions on a straight party line the way the Roberts Court does now. /1 nathannewman.substack.com/p/weve-never...

While the media pushes doom and gloom, real voters just quietly broke a 20-year record in Georgia. Democratic primary turnout exploded by 53% while the GOP plummeted. The ground map is shifting. See the full, uncensored data breakdown here: 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/so-much-fo...

“For the first time in history, a president is leaning on a bank regulator to give his private enterprise the implicit backing of the federal government,” said Corey Frayer, the director of investor protection for Consumer Federation of America www.notus.org/economy/trum...

Here's the Iran-US MoU, and it's pretty much a severe strategic defeat and capitulation for the US and a massive strategic and economic victory for Iran. Really an utter humiliation for the US thanks to Trump's naked incompetence. edition.cnn.com/2026/06/17/m...

Trump recently claimed that the U.S. isn't founded on an idea, but on the character of Anglo-Saxon settlers, carried in their veins and souls. We polled it: Americans disagree by nearly 9-1, with Republicans and Trump 2024 voters the *least* supportive. www.nationhoodlab.org/trump-says-a...

Trump on Egyptian President el-Sisi: "He was in a hotel and I met him. We fell in love, deeply in love ... we didn't know each other before that. We had great chemistry, and I stayed twice as long as I was supposed to."

I'm attending a digital humanities event in Montreal. There was a keynote on AI and something about the talk made me wonder if it had been written by Claude. I said as much in the Q&A. As I posed the question, the speaker shifted, looking slightly uncomfortable. What he said next shocked the room +

When I try to explain to students how corrupt and controlling Huey Long was, I note how he'd announce what the state legislature would approve and what it would deny ahead of its sessions, and then the legislature would do exactly what he said. Anyway ...

AI cannot fail, it can only be sabotaged. You must stay ever-vigilant against Trotskyist wreckers.

I guess one difference between Jim Crow then and Jim Crow now is that we have cool graphics to show how it's done.

This is bombshell stuff.

Trump appeared at the Libertarian National Convention in 2024 in front of a sign that said this, it was the convention's theme

Perfect photo, no notes.

what's he gonna do, maul me?

The older I get, the more I understand why cats just walk away mid-conversation

NEWS CENTER MAINE: This is the first reelection campaign that you're run since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. I was hoping you could talk to me a little bit about your vote to confirm Kavanaugh and whether you regret that? SUSAN COLLINS: I do not regret that vote.

Trump lied when he said taxpayers wouldn't be stuck with the bill for his ballroom. Now Americans are paying $300 million for a vanity project while being told there's no money to lower costs. Pure corruption.

Congrats, Trump voters. He lied to you. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Your periodic reminder that people are *more* abusive online when they're using their "real names" than when they're using a persistent pseudonym and this effect has been replicated in literally every study that has ever been done

MS NOW EXCLUSIVE: Kash Patel may have a 'personal slush fund' of taxpayer dollars to pay loyalist agents, according to Rep. Jamie Raskin. Raskin is demanding documents from Patel — citing claims that $8,000 payments are made to agents who carry out "unlawful partisan and personal orders."

Do you know what sounds more believable than “A sophisticated civilization developed impressive construction techniques over centuries”? Apparently: “Space people.”

There isn't enough focus on the people who could stop this shit.

meant to mention: @schiff.senate.gov found out that these cost $6,000 each www.schiff.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

Who else thinks @musicologyduck.bsky.social should sell guided tours around DC? It’d be so fun and you’d get to see all the congress and admin critters out in the wild!

SCOOP from @by-cjewett.bsky.social & me: Markwayne Mullin urged the Department of Health and Human Service to remove warnings from the FDA website about the health risks of the gas station drug kratom. Mullin owns equity in a leading kratom company called Botanic Tonics that could have benefited.

From the @texastribune.org: “I would strongly advise you to leave our caucus,” [former state GOP chair Abraham] George said. “There is a Democrat convention happening in a couple weeks. Join them.”

Big banner with a Teddy quote about courage on the Theodore Roosevelt Federal Building, headquarters of OPM. Only discrepancy is that the 26th president never said this.

Amazing. A family of fraudsters. Eric Trump is trying to make money off UFC fights, assuming they were rigged. Cormer has since deleted the posts.

Heads up: The U.S. Postal Service has proposed a new rule that would allow it to refuse to deliver mail ballots in states that don't turn over voter rolls to the federal government. Dems say it's clear evidence the Trump admin is trying to unconstitutionally intrude on state-run elections.

TRUMP: I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz TRUMP 1 HOUR LATER: The strait will open on Friday

GW never said this and neither did anybody else. The only official symbolism in the Flag Resolution is the stars are "representing a new constellation." The rest is just an iteration on the Red Ensign, and likely the East India Company's white stripes on it. The colors have no particular meaning.

First the NYer Andrew Tate story, now this NYT deep fake story by Eli Saslow: Two features--both beautifully reported and written--this week that even for a doom-n-gloom type like me are so much worse than I thought. We must attend and contend: Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...

The mifespristone case shows that the abortion federalism promised by Dobbs was a lie—the goal is to ban abortion everywhere, even if that means forcing pro choice states like New York to enforce abortion bans passed by anti-choice states. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

They say we live in unprecedented times, which sucks, because a historical precedent for a nation holding gladiator fights in a stadium for the amusement of its ruler would be pretty useful right now.

it occurs to me that people not from Ohio just learning about Rep. Joyce Beatty for the first time might not be familiar with her entire game www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Cvw...

"Acquiring one grape costs Alex $2 billion. Alex offers to sell Mike one grape a month for the next 12 months for $1 billion per grape. Alex asks for the full $12 billion up front and provides Mike with one grape for the first month..."

It’s happening today, and we still don’t know what the actual finances are. They’re just charging right in and breaking every law and constitutional prohibition, and we’ll only “find out” after it’s all said and done. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Buried deep in the details of the UFC deal with the White House are provisions streaming funds from the UFC straight into the private pockets of the Trump family. And they usually involve crypto, whose very purpose is to disguise or hide illegal payments. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

A place to learn, play, and belong. President Obama and Valerie Jarrett explore the Center and reflect on building a space where every family is welcome, every child is safe, and every person is respected. A place for everyone.
