But unfortunately, he woke up in time to embarrass himself and the United States on the world stage.

As I keep saying, the big winner of the Iran War is China.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

DRINK!!!!

Gas is high. Groceries are high. Rent is high. Wages are stagnant. Another forever war. ICE is committing murder on our streets. We can’t eat fresh produce and our national monuments and parks are being pillaged. But, at least the president has made billions of dollars in the last year…

This is footage of ICE handcuffing a 26 year old father after murdering him in broad daylight. We cannot look away. Abolish ICE. Abolish qualified immunity. Hold these murderous thugs accountable.

RIP to the incomparable Sam Neill

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

Steve Schmidt sucks but he had Lindsey Graham dead to rights here and it was brutal

ON THIS DAY... in 2006, the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler bid a heartbreaking farewell to one another. To mark the occasion, we've dug deep into the #DoctorWho​ archives and retrieved the original "Doomsday" master tapes to show you just how this scene looked from the other perspective.

There is a certain bleakness in finding hope where one expected certainty.

Don Jr. frantically placing bets on the US responding majorly to the Islamic Republic of Japan.

stupidest possible outcome is that belgium just beats the shit out of the usa and wins like 5-1 despite all the shenanigans so that's probably what we're getting.

the brits are screaming wonderwall in the azteca. god is dead

Meanwhile in Scotland, icymi etc

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.

Happy 250th, everybody! I think our Founders would be surprised at how much money Trump made last year. And without slaves!

Mamdani: "Those who led through exclusion & isolation have tried to win power & enrich themselves by turning us against one another ... today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum"

Happy “liberal arts professor helps save the Union” day to all who celebrate

what the fuck did yall think she meant

Weird how this never applies to the Second Amendment.

Another anti-democracy decision by the extremist wing of the Court, privileging even more the power of big money, just as the big-money interests that assembled this Court wish; just as the billionaire-funded flotilla of amici instructed.

I am stunned that the constitutional question was so close. I thought it would be 6–3 or 7–2. It is profoundly disturbing that four justices would allow either the president or Congress to rewrite the plain text of the 14th Amendment. This is obviously a good outcome, but the margin is alarming.

The problem with this “fair” is that was imagined by people who’ve never actually experienced one. No Tilt-A-Whirl. No funnel cake. No livestock barns. No fun anywhere. Just a propaganda spectacle by people so insulated by obscene wealth they have no clue what American life actually looks like.

As Trump announced his whimsy war in Iran, I was reading about another imperial campaign, long ago, against an Iranian people. I found a perspective on the wars of today, & a sense of why, beyond his obvious incompetence in military matters, Trump had to lose his. snyder.substack.com/p/of-stoicis...

ALL THE SMOKE

I didn't think I'd see a variation of "is coming out a mistake?" from an news source (other than some trash owned by Murdoch). Anyways, the answer to *every* news headline that contains a question mark is always a big "no". Are you asking this because someone in your office saw Tip Toe on Ch4?

the way it works is that if i say, "i'm a black american," sam alito thinks that is "dividing people up by race." but if someone says, "get that jigaboo out of my country," alito thinks, "looks like nothing to me"

This is Lady and Piper. Lady really loves playing fetch. Maybe even enough for the two of them. 13/10 for both (TT: rachaelsteinle)

Oh. So Tulsi Gabbard wrote a report showing that voting machine vulnerabilities didn’t flip any votes. And now she’s not the DNI anymore. Hmm. www.reuters.com/world/white-...

Can we finally all agree that the argument “we should run the country like a business, and therefore elect businessmen to run it” has been a failed experiment?

The genius of Obama's big speech is this: He effectively stated that Trump/MAGA do not accept the Declaration of Independence's promise of equality. In the battle over our 250th anniversary, we need to put that basic truth squarely on the agenda. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2121...
