the degree to which they want to destroy one of the jewels of the American republic—our exceptional research universities—is just gobsmacking

A year ago >100 died due to a lack of flood sirens in Kerr County, TX. Nearby counties made the upgrades. When Kerr got $10m during Covid, constituents wanted to return it to the “communist” Biden admin. Instead, local officials spent it on new radios for the cops. www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/t...

this guy wants as many americans as possible to die of preventable diseases. he views that as preferable to vaccines or long term medication. makes us “stronger”

Racism aside, there is nothing that the Chinese Communist Party wants more than for America to continue to be run by stupid hicks like this woman whose careers are dedicated to flushing every competitive advantage we have down the toilet.

Happy Independence Day (in a liberal way)! I love watching this show because you can feel the explosions on the water. Austin has its perks

Between this and the French with the sign on the Eiffel Tower, good reminder these things are bigger than the current admin and moment

"and another thing: i haven't lost the Mandate of Heaven. please don't put in the newspaper that i lost the Mandate of Heaven."

I would kill or die for Larry

Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.

The Supreme Court Gives Donald Trump Full Control Over the Executive Branch, Except the Part of It that Impacts Their Retirement Portfolios

Arc de Temu

Also older than ICE: m.youtube.com/watch?v=2g5H...

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

“lets see the algae try to get past this!”

Imagine Biden starting a war for no reason and then sending Hunter to settle it. I’m sure the media would have been very chill about that.

Someone out there is gonna be so upset when you tell them: sorry the US can’t return to the gold standard because we had to give it all to Iran when we surrendered.

what a dumb fucking war this has been

Congrats lesbians, you’re lead authors

one of my favorite recurring subplots in housing discourse is NIMBYs talking about any major dev project like it’s a form of settler colonialism and meanwhile actual indigenous people are like “we are going to build the biggest apartment buildings you have literally ever seen”

He's not working, it's not the president's house, and you're celebrating the assisted suicide of a once great nation.

It is simply correct that we win every matchup where being a global melting pot would be an advantage

Your daily reminder this should be the biggest scandal in American politics right now but nobody seems to care. Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years. He also doesnt have to register as a sex offender. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/19/k...

its almost impressive how every single step this administration has taken has made the US less safe and the globe more unstable

i think it is politically critical to show that a republican can be beaten in texas and morally critical for the country to show that a good person can win against a bad one

If you're a Democrat and you confirm someone who refuses to unequivocally say "Joe Biden won the 2020 election," you should lose your job.

What do you call camps where people keep disappearing and dying

the most anti free speech administration in this country’s history

it is genuinely very important that we wipe this guy’s name off everything he’s slapped it on and tear down his ballroom and his arch he wants to be mythologized and the answer has to be no, he is a loser and a failure which should be remembered as one

Reminder that Florida voters passed a Constitutional amendment in 2010 banning gerrymandering with 62% of the vote and the Florida GOP just stole the courts and ignored it. By contrast retaliatory gerrymanders in CA and VA passed with the approval of voters. Yet media portrays them as equivalent.

If you're a young leftist looking for an inspirational model for politics and can't come up with anyone better than Stalin or Mao I'm going to encourage you to read a second book.

ive watched this part like a dozen times now

You have to impeach Trump, as many times as possible, in massive prolonged proceedings, as stridently as possible, because in the US system, that is the strongest form of political condemnation available, and he must be condemned endlessly until he leaves office in disgrace, goes to prison, or dies

"Well sir, we were going to use this money as a construction loan for a black hole detector. But the scientists looked at it and realized that taking OpenAI shares as collateral for a loan to Softbank might allow them to directly observe a black hole up close."

I will give right wing muckrakers this: they sure as shit know how to twist the knife matt drudge is a hater to his bones

A sowing/reaping for the ages

The individuals referenced here are adjudicated terrorists. They were found guilty of conspiring to use force against their own government to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. A conservative, Trump-appointed judge applied terrorism enhancements to their sentences.

The covid amnesia shell game happened DESPITE THE DATA, in part bc we never had a reckoning or real memorialization The *moment* we replace this regime, they will memory-hole everything they did. If we don't keep clear records and then make them into public memory, they'll get away with it.
