I just learned Mayor Mamdani announced the first city funded pet food pantry in NYC’s budget and my heart got a little bigger 🥹

Mamdani is a uniter. Netanyahu is a war criminal.

The reason for my source confusion, I think, is that there will be county caucuses... to select the convention delegates. Why not just do a nominating caucus then is my first thought. But my second is, it's an organizing opportunity to choose the delegates. Maybe that makes people OK with it.

🚨 BREAKING — Troy Jackson launches his campaign for U.S. Senate in Maine.

DAWG WE'RE DOING STATE-RUN GAS PRICES AT PRICE CONTROLLED RATES DESPITE INCREASING SHORTAGES TO PACIFY THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEIR OPPONENTS WANT COMMUNISM I AM GOING TO LOSE MY ENTIRE GODDAMN MIND

Congrats to John Thune I guess

Unless McConnell comes out and publicly rebukes this on camera, I'm going to assume it's true.

The reason Platner has gotten roughly 10x the discussion of any of the panoply of rapists & sexual harassers in prominent positions on the right is that everyone - left, right, center, media, *everyone* - has internalized that conservatives just don't care and so there's no point talking about it.

Must Be the Season of the Mitch Senator McConnell was the GOP’s universal soldier, but he doesn’t seem like a sunshine Superman these days. Is he as dead as Atlantis or just a lot more mellow yellow than he used to be? by Maureen Dowd

This story has been updated because the Maine Democratic State Committee has opted for a 600-person nominating convention. I think this is a very damaging scenario and me getting the story wrong pales in comparison to what Dems may have gotten wrong here. prospect.org/2026/07/08/m...

Something has always been extremely funny about islam being possibly the most business-forward religion and being shunned in the US

Mega atomic unyielding nuclear truth bomb

MAINE CHARACTER SYNDROME

maybe we should try letting the asexuals run the country for a bit

This is why we read books.

good fucking riddance

I will plug into community and protest and do mutual aid and electoral work and show up and not just doom scroll but wow the anger is just buzzing in the back of my skull at all times. I am happy and loved and also angry to a degree I cannot describe

lmao Jesus fucking Christ

Looks like Zohran's public groceries inspired the administration to try a little something for the herrenvolk

“.. pressure from restructuring expenses and tariff costs.” 🤦🏻‍♂️ @bloomberg.com #$HOG www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Quick campaign update: momentum is moving our way.

Writing to Stuart Chase who had been drummed out of the Wilson FTC for being a “communist” when he was in fact a Fabian (and a very effective accountant who was causing problems for business)

I think people are basically developing a form of psychological unreality where they are imposing an exclusively online or otherwise sui genersis hyper local dynamic onto races which essentially don't have it at all.

@rephaleystevens.bsky.social fire your campaign manager.

HALEY STEVENS PLEASE STOP BANGING ON THE TABLE I BEG

My mom when I showed her Haley Stevens debate clips: I don’t know this person but if I saw her, I’d run.

So, the war started again. Does this mean the strait is closed again, so oil reserves are being drawn down again, so the price spike we never experienced the first time around might still happen? Oil markets. How do they work?

hysterical to assume we have *a* discord or group chat, can you imagine 120k people using a single group chat lmao

Between this and the national guard in Memphis it’s kind of disturbing me (yes I know I’m a member of the media) the degree to which these killings aren’t really breaking thru rn

Q: Why is the Trump administration looking at the 2020 election in Milwaukee? Vance: Well... First of all... *chuckles*

NEW: Judge Dugan sentenced to a $5,000 fine and no jail time. "In a sentencing memo, prosecutors said that federal guidelines called for a prison term of 15 to 21 months in prison." They did not ask for a specific sentence from the court. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/u...

This summer's record-setting heat wave is making wildfires in states like Colorado and Utah even worse. And to top it off, private equity investors are even price-gouging firefighters.

Happy Fourth of July from Willie and me!

James Talarico spent the Fourth of July in Texas with American icon Willie Nelson. Ken Paxton spent the Fourth of July with the British.

Where’s the satire?

My three-year-old was talking to Mitch McConnell when she turned to me gravely and asked “Daddy, why do people think the nice turtle man is dead?” And when I told her “Because Laura Loomer said so,” she started crying.

Is Graham Platner’s alleged inability to hear “no” a personal failing, or a symptom of how late-stage capitalism has hardened the hearts of our economically anxious oyster-farming veterans? by Matt Stoller
