5–4 on a constitutional question that is older, more settled, and just as clear on the text and purpose as "can women vote?" They're coming for that one too, it's currently in the "right-wing extremists on social media" stage, same place where "there's no birthright citizenship" arose.

Dead on, unfortunately.

a lot of Very Serious People get really mad whenever others wishcast about Bad Things happening to Elon Musk but have seemingly nothing to say about what the world's richest man spends his time advocating for

less of a careful chamber of judicial deliberation, more a shouting alchemists lab where henchlings calibrate exactly how many rights they can strip and where without crashing the economy before the next election

So just to be clear, it's war when the markets close for the week, every week, and peace when the markets re-open. And we're just going to pretend that's not happening, apparently. bsky.app/profile/wsj....

You’ll see why in four days, but the first episode will kick off The Onion and InfoWars airing a full block of explosive programming every Thursday, live at 8 ET, for the rest of the summer. I am so goddamn excited about this. Tell everybody you know. They will probably want to watch it live.

GOP Urges Democrats To Tone Down Rhetoric Used To Quote President Verbatim

You see kids if he posts his 17-year old military school yearbook photo and lies about being 20 at the time it looks more like he was in the actual military to your typical paint eater.

The BBC has requested that Donald Trump hand over his phone records from Jan. 6 as part of his defamation lawsuit against the broadcaster.

Perfect reminder that you don't "own" digital media when you buy it. PLEASE DON'T LET PHYSICAL MEDIA DIE.

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: “Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

Literally that story, like a bunch before it, describes that reporting on this has been delayed bc Whiskey Pete demanded that satellite companies delay release. That demand came right after NYT wrote a story on March 3 showing devastating losses. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/w...

BREAKING: Judge Sullivan has GRANTED Katie Phang's preliminary injunction concluding she has standing, has been harmed, and will likely succeed on the merits of her case demanding the full release of the Epstein files. Blanche has until 7/2 to respond. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

You notice that the criminal-in-charge who sues everyone for everything is drop dead quiet about this. Says a lot.

“Elon Musk is autistic trillionaire Radio Rwanda.”

The average sentence for providing material support to ISIS is a little over 13 years. The Prairieland defendants got between two and nearly eight times that. So, again, the government is saying that the crimes of “antifa” are somehow two to eight times worse than those supporting an FTO.

Clearest proof we've seen that he thinks refugees claiming political asylum were refugees from an actual insane asylum. The leader of the United States is dumber than dirt but there's an entire cult enabling him and a corporate media too cowardly to call them out.

It's sometimes hard to tell the difference between genuinely stupid people with purity politics and voter suppression activity targeted at liberals by bad faith actors.

In a new court filing, SPLC provided evidence that the prosecution into the org came directly out of a letter that extremist groups sent to Stephen Miller complaining that they had been included in SPLC's Hate Map. emptywheel.net/2026/06/23/h...

Let’s not forget why this is so expensive. It’s not bc of Valve’s corporate greed. It’s bc of these motherfocking data centers buying up all the gpu’s, depleting our resources, shifting supply and demand making any manufacturing EVERY OTHER INDUSTRY’S PROBLEM AND WE THE CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.

valve could change the world overnight if these pages included a giant blurb at the top that says "this price increase is because of AI causing component shortages" and their intended price next to that

That the CIA had nothing to do with it and Nixon tried to have them lie to the FBI and say they did is, like, the whole scandal. We literally have it on tape!

In case you didn't think Polymarket was sketchy enough. It paid influencers to use a fake site (poiymarket) to make fake bets that would then look like they won, and then to post viral videos to social media pretending they had won money. www.wsj.com/business/med...

NBD - it's just the US Pardon Attorney and US Ambassador and Chief of Protocol talking about how the CIA framed Nixon for the Watergate break-in and it was all a hoax.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

A friend of mine lived in Kailua while the cult was recruiting and has horror stories about it. Chris Butler always had political ambitions, and hung them on the Gabbard family.

Why are we investigating whether Tulsi was controlled by a cult AFTER she's done DNI-ing, when it was pretty clear she was controlled by a cult before she was confirmed?

It is wild how, across the board, our overlords are like "what if we made the bread and circuses more expensive"

2/ it's one of the great tertiary genres of TrumpBrain the way he creates these 'everybody knows' histories where people have been clamoring for centuries to build a ballroom, to fix the reflecting pool. like demands, every wanted it but no president cld step up and do it.

Step 1: Brag that Trump was fixing something Obama screwed up Step 2: Pursue most corrupt solution possible Step 3: As a result, badly fuck up Step 4: Loudly squeal that someone else sabotaged you, so as to dodge blame Whether it's the reflecting pool or Iran, Trump's con is the same.

“If Rutte’s self-debasing flattery of Trump actually worked, that would be one thing…Unfortunately, Trump takes servile flattery as his due. Giving it to him satisfies his need to feel superior and dominant, but it buys you nothing.” (gift article) www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Ukraine launched a website to share information (technical data, reports, vulnerabilities) about captured Russian weapons trophylab.mod.gov.ua/en/

To those wondering what my dad would have to say about Trump, here’s a clue from the past…

I call Elon Musk a Nazi because he's an avowed white supremacist who undermines democracies, incites pogroms, targets minorities, intentionally caused the death of >750,000 people (so far) while laughing about it ("feeding USAID into the wood chipper"), and did a Sieg Heil at Trump's inauguration.

At this point I just assume the median GOP congressperson's staff is like 70% internet troll edgelords so yeah even if they're some old goof they're getting braincooked by proximity

>renames it to the Department of War >names himself the Secretary of War >fights one war >loses

of course now all those fuckin sycophantic republicans who agreed with trump that the nuclear thing was more important than the economy are going to give us the we are protecting the economy lecture

When Trump went to war with Iran, I watched every speech anyone in the administration gave and made a chart of every reason given for going to war "Eliminate ballistic capability" was the #1 reason given: more even than preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon

Here is a public service announcement filmed by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1980s, and I promise that you would not correctly guess who pops up at the end if I gave you 10,000 tries

Someone made the observation that MAGA exists to make rape culture mainstream and I've been agreeing with that more and more every day.
