Trump straight up murdering people in the Caribbean and the NYT writes this

Just voted yes on 50. Easiest ballot ever

This is terrifying

Amazing

“Supreme Court will let Trump _______ _____ _____ _____ for now” (Mad Libs, 2025 Edition)

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

The #Padres have scored five runs in their last 56 postseason innings

United States Senator from Hawaii

This is important. The GOP can open the government literally today with zero Democrats. Just ditch the filibuster. Go ahead. Why won’t they do it?

Just naked and brazen corruption. All states represented by Democrats in the Senate. Time to stiffen our spines and demand that we only fund a government that obeys the law.

Trophy

Some liberal critics charge that the use of US urban citizens as target practice for troops could raise questions about the politicization of the military.

So good.

Taxpayers and charities helped develop the gene therapy Zolgensma. Then it debuted at a record price of $2M+ per dose, ushering in a new class of wildly expensive drugs. Its story upends the widely held conception that high prices reflect huge industry investments in innovation. (Published Feb.)

Donald Trump cut funding for pediatric cancer research.

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.

And he resigned during trumps first term at trumps request

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin? TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

He also claims he would have done it if Tim Walz had called him and requested it. But shortly after Hortman was assassinated, Trump said he would not call the "whacked out" governor because it would be "a waste of time." www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

Whether it’s Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade advocating killing homeless people by “involuntary lethal injection” or MSNBC’s Matthew Dowd bringing up things that Charlie Kirk said, both networks have crossed the boundaries of decency.

Set aside Sen. Mike Lee's storm of lies and incitement here. Lee literally made jokes on Twitter about the fmr Speaker of the Minnesota state house being murdered in her home by a right wing extremist. Hard to imagine any more twisted and malicious person in public life.

I ignored the murder of Melissa Hortman. Here’s why I’ll be talking about the murder of Charlie Kirk all day today. by most liberal pundits

It’s not simply important to denounce political violence because it looks bad not to. It’s the right thing to do on the merits. Even more specifically to this moment it’s important because the forces of fascism are inherently better at political violence than the forces of civic democracy.

Whether it’s Republican politicians joking about the murder of Melissa Hortman or Democratic politicians expressing their condolences after the murder of Charlie Kirk, both parties have a extreme rhetoric problem.

This should go without saying, but Trump is not opposed to political violence. He’s opposed to violence against his political allies. He is either silent about, or approving of, violence against his political enemies.

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.

“The government sometimes makes brief, investigative stops to check the immigration status of those who gather in locations where people are hired for day jobs such as construction, landscaping, agriculture or car washes…and who do not speak much if any English.” -Justice Kavanaugh

What Trump’s perverted birthday card says about Democrats.

We rule that the mass executions may proceed while the larger Constitutional case works its way through the court system. by John Roberts, joined by Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Barrett, and Kavanaugh (2026)

Trump critics have claimed that in his lewd drawing of a naked girl for Jeffrey Epstein, he used his signature to represent pubic hair. In fact, the girl was too young to have any pubic hair. Three Pinocchios.

Sure seems like Big Pharma spent way way more energy, money and lobbying capital on fighting Dems on prescription drugs than doing anything about the Secretary of HHS casually, and without any real evidence, telling everyone their products kill kids and give them autism.

I am not aware of any gun violence that happened when I was a kid. by RFK Jr.

“or add explanatory context”. So basically just being a mouthpiece. This. Is. Autocracy.

Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird dodges question about whether Trump is eligible to run for a third term. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6OL...

I have now lived a long and full life, with a Republican Treasury Secretary saying that adding a national sales tax -- imposed on an odd assortment of goods -- *raises* economic growth. Can't wait to raise other taxes to raise growth further. Or to double tariffs so we can double growth.

Headline: Biden coverup made it impossible to see Trump's body disintegrating

Again, the most jarring aspect of the corruption of this administration is just how out in the open it all is. And how republicans aren’t held to anywhere near the same standard democrats are

Corrupt much?

As a friend recently put it: the venn diagram of people who assured us the gun violence was worth it because we need the guns to protect ourselves against a tyrannical federal government and the people cheering on Trump as he deploys the military to take over American cities is a circle

In this Ohio diner, cancer research is what astrologers do for people born in late June and July. But they do know this: President Trump's landslide 49% of the vote gives him a clear mandate to defund America's scientists.

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

3/ general. In the decades that followed basically no general staffs studied Lee's battles and strategies. On the contrary for the next half century and longer general staff's around the world studied Grant and Sherman and to a lesser extent other generals under their command.
