Every commercial now feels like it’s beamed in from some alternate universe where shit isn’t falling apart and no one’s talking about the constant feeling of dread.

The flattery to noise ration of US cabinet meetings exceeds that of the DPRK Politburo. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

The moral character of Ken Paxton...

Trump has studied the connection between circumcision and autism for a long time. 😐

He tried to overturn the 2020 election. He was indicted on felony securities fraud charges. He was impeached over corruption and bribery. Meet your Republican nominee for the Senate

We just learned last week that Kat was never truly indicted. The grand jury in Chicago returned a no true bill. Prosecutors then had to tell anyone who didn't want an indictment to leave and cajole someone in the hallway until they returned an indictment. Please, go to jury duty and raise hell.

Don Jr. married Bettina Anderson this week. Her late father was Jeffrey Epstein’s banker and wrote him a character reference calling him ‘a gentleman of the highest integrity’ — helping him get his island. The circle stays tight. Trump Sr. didn’t attend. #Epstein #DonJr”

The US government was legally required to release the remaining Epstein files 169 days ago. They still have not done so.

Nothing to see here, just the son of the President marrying the daughter of the accountant of a notorious child sex trafficker who was best friends with the groom's father. Oh, wait, you didn't know Junior's current new wife is the daughter of Jeffrey Epstein's accountant?

I was naive enough to think that once the white nationalist policies started significantly hurting the economy, the economic elites would say to the GOP “ok, you’ve had your fun, now cut this shit out or we’ll knife you.” Ah, sweet summer child.

i don’t really believe there’s a male loneliness problem. i believe there’s a general problem of loneliness downstream from modern capitalist alienation. nobody feels good, and the manifestations are highly contextual.

I got curious about this quote, so I looked it up. It's a paraphrase. Here's the original: "When I see an actual flesh-and-blood worker in conflict with his natural enemy, the policeman, I do not have to ask myself which side I am on." —George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia.

Trump's war on barbecue. Time to rise, Texas

Most Orwellian war of my lifetime

"In the end, American consumers paid $159b in nat'l sales taxes for which most will never be reimbursed a penny. And rather than those taxes being used by the federal govt to, say, repave roads or build bridges, most of the money will instead provide corporate windfalls." — @schaller67.bsky.social

see? is that so hard? is that such a difficult argument to make? this is what I want to see out of Democrats Tom Steyer, you have my vote

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

the old anarchist quote about how “if voting mattered they’d make it illegal” actually is true! And they are trying!

solar is so cool man. I climbed up on my shed roof last week and installed a panel to charge my yard tools and now I’m mowing my lawn with power I stole from a fucking star

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

"A century and a half ago, Southern state legislatures knew partisan gerrymandering could provide cover for racist gerrymandering.... White conservative politicians deeply understand this, though the court treats it as incidental."

How did I only just discover that Don Jr is marrying the daughter of a prominent Epstein enabler? Her late dad, a banker, wrote Epstein a reference letter calling him "a gentleman of the highest integrity" to help get him tax breaks &… his island. Can’t make this stuff up.

And... we're back to threats. The cycle of: 1) Threats 2) Lies of an imminent peace deal 3) Positive media coverage for that 4) Evidence of no deal, and nowhere close to Iran making concessions 5) Pretending not to care about a deal he transparently wants 6) Threats Took about three days this time

Same guy who started a high school debate club and is accused of grooming and raping one of his students

6 Greenville, SC residents, including at least 3 cops have been arrested & charged with child sex trafficking AGAIN—not immigrants, not trans people, not drag queens, not Black or brown people. And we will not hear Trump or any MAGA politician acknowledge this. These were cops. How deep is the rot?

Tom Massie says he will be naming lots of names connected to the Epstein class before he leaves... he then instantly proceeds to name check Melanija Knavs (Trump), saying she knows much more than she's told us so far. www.thedailybeast.com/rogue-republ...

This is Adam Hoffman, a 49-year-old Waco, TX attorney. He faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy. Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail & no sex offender status. A judge increased his sentence to 60 days. Not an immigrant. Not a trans person. Not a Black or brown person

Robert Prediction: the unpopularity of Joe Rogan and all that he represents will be as meaningful a factor in the 2028 election as his popularity was in 2024

Don't you just hate it when you're trying to do a quick war in the Middle East for the content and then it just won't end like it keeps going and going forever

Kash’s got this

This week Rep Eugene Vindman was 1 of 8 Dems to vote with MAGA to condemn trans kids His brother Alexander Vindman moved to Florida to run for US Senate & is on podcast condemning all Muslims Vindmans rebuking Trump doesnt excuse them for being right wingers who trash marginalized communities 1/2

when colbert said that show was the last thing he did before the late shows and probably what he'll do next, he meant it :D

In our new podcast, Dan Froomkin discusses the language that Samuel Alito uses to restore Jim Crow to the American South and the American press' failure to come to grips with it. www.horton-kaiser.com/p/listen-the...

For the second time we know of, Kash Patel's FBI got a warning about a dangerous Nazi sympathizer (the other is the Evergreen shooter) but did not prevent an attack. This time 3 people were murdered. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/u...

The American-led negotiations in Ukraine prolonged the war by encouraging Putin. The Russians dangled ludicrous business"deals" in front of Witkoff and Kushner who were too gullible to understand that they were being manipulated. Good to hear the US has abandoned this failed policy.

So this is what Israel has become ..... When will politicians understand that partial sanctions on the odd individual will achieve nothing. Israel should be treated as a pariah state and subject to full and crippling economic and political sanctions. Nothing less will do.

Alan Dershowitz's zealous advocacy of legalized sex with minors apparently has nothing to do with his own sexual preferences.

It’s worth noting that when Jan. 6 happened, the pro-Trump right used dozens of conspiracy theories to try and offload blame from themselves—e.g., claiming it was “antifa,” “feds.” Now, they seem keen to just admit they did it—all of it—and it was good.
