i hope media executives are taking note of the tens of thousands of people who for several hours on a friday night have stayed glued to livestreams of scaffolding being built just so they could witness his name getting knocked off a building

99 minutes until the compliance deadline.

Folarin Balogun, born in New York to Nigerian parents. People like JD Vance would say he's not *really* American when, in fact, he's the epitome of American. 🇺🇸

/3 Anyway, I don’t think Jesse would devote himself to helping get minorities in Europe killed. But I think he would do a multi-part series critiquing and mocking anyone who didn’t want minorities in Europe killed.

Federal court finds that the "evidence of bad faith is sufficiently overwhelming" to require blocking Ken Paxton's investigation of ActBlue, which Paxton is conducting to help his Senate campaign by trying to chill campaign donations to Democratic candidates, including his opponent James Talarico.

Here’s the connection to be made: The administration bit off more than it could chew when it indicted SPLC, a group with national support. So now it will try to intimidate folks on the ground, small local groups who are supporting our right to vote. We must not let that happen.

This is great

Whether it's Republicans lying about the LA mayor election, or lying about screwworm, or using AI to lie about James Talarico, the Democratic instinct is to correct the record, condemn the attack and move on. It should be to weave a story about the opposition's putrid, morally corrosive dishonesty.

A trillionaire isn’t a success story. it’s a policy failure.

Washington Nat'l Opera sues the Kennedy Center alleging that the Center STOLE the opera's endowment. WNO had a longterm agreement where KC ran the opera's development back office, and in 2025 KC just ... stopped doing it and seized the funds. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump's forty-fifth claim that the war is over meets with skepticism in some liberal circles.

The trillionaire mark is just a milestone. Musk already had enough money to personally buy a whole company or single-handedly influence a presidential election. But we should consider what it means that one man has amassed so much wealth and power — and the speed at which he is doing so.

Amazing: KPMG wrote a report describing the successful use of AI by businesses. But the case studies turned out to be AI hallucinations. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

There are credible allegations made against Donald Trump that he mutilated a child’s nipples while raping her. Allegations so serious, his inner circle had to meet in the Situation Room to discuss them. I mean, how the fuck isn’t this the biggest scandal in the world right now?

It's June, 2026, and The Ohio State University still wants you to vote for its teen girls athlete of the week award that it's chosen to name after international child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirator Leslie Wexner. OSU is a morally bankrupt university.

I want you to notice how this article, which took two journalists to write, doesn't even bother to seriously explore whether the claims being made by companies are true it's genuinely just not relevant to them

The Epstein class is bleeding Social Security and Medicare dry. A THREAD.

BREAKING MS NOW: FBI agents on Thursday raided the Cleveland offices of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative — a pro-democracy organization that helps register voters in that state, according to three people briefed on the search.

1/ Last month I told a room of Baltic intelligence officers and diplomats that Donald Trump is an asset of Russian intelligence. Not one of them blinked. "Of course," they said. Ho hum. But in America, saying it out loud is still taboo. Why? 🧵

As you read about this abusive raid, remember that Georgia found that Elon Musk violated the rules on his mail-in ballot campaign in 2024 but the FBI has not raided him.

For Trump, the UFC was a lifeline after the 2020 election and Jan. 6 left him radioactive to corporate America. For the UFC, Trump's return has coincided with a cascade of rewards: a $7.7B Paramount deal, FBI and State Department partnerships, and now a White House fight night.

Donald Trump kicked 3.5 million people off SNAP suggesting we can't afford it, but a new ballroom and $50 billion war in Iran? No problem.

me: hey can I expense $10 to make a spreadsheet employer: Absolutely not me: hey can I spend $10 worth of company tokens to have ChatGPT make a shitty spreadsheet I will have to put even more work into to fix manually employer: yes 💖

It's hard to fathom how deeply evil this is, and that we have people running our country who get sick pleasure from sending women fleeing violence in Iran to an African country in the middle of a brutal civil war.

Here’s my question: How much money has the Trump family made, personally, from this war? I guarantee you it’s not zero.

My. Rainier Showing off for golden hour tonight 🫢😮‍💨

Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the US

Trump announces "maybe I'll seize the capital of the US if voters displease me" and it'll be nothing more than a blip on the news at best

"They died building the railroads, they worked to bones and skin They died in the fields and factories, names scattered in the wind They died to get here a hundred years ago, they're still dying now The hands that built the country we're always trying to keep down" - @brucespringsteen.net

The idiocy of this statement is sort of unbelievable. The one thing Northern Irish loyalists do *not* want is to be Irish.

I'm starting an ICE Air podcast with @jjindc.bsky.social, called Worst Airline Ever. First ep will drop soon. I get most of my news from podcasts tbh, maybe you do too? It'll be depressing and enraging, yes. BUT we'll also tell you what you can do to fight back. www.patreon.com/cw/worstairl...

Pope Leo: "Every boat that arrives does not bring only migrants; it brings with it a question: what world have we built, if so many brothers must risk death to seek life?"

my grandma's Catholic family was driven out of Belfast in the 50s because of job insecurity and constant threat of violence and discrimination. Britain-claiming loyalists are mostly conducting the pogroms today. so ... the people who want to remain in the UK want to reclaim "Ireland"? hello?

20 corporate sponsors are “funding the Trump administration’s preferred anniversary organization, Freedom 250” Chevron is a new sponsor listed today. Other sponsors include Mastercard, Scotts Miracle-Gro, and United Airlines.

“In Nuremberg they’re standing up because their leaders have let them down. They’re trying to take their country back. They want to label them as racist. All they want to be is German. They want Germany back.”

Still not on either the NYT or WaPo homepages: Trump: "I love inflation"

/2 Also: this APPEARS to be a high government official endorsing mass racial violence - a pogrom. If you are one of those people inclined to minimize it and explain it away, I ask: why? Why now? What, exactly, supports any charitable reading?

I am still in disbelief that a random dude with zero qualifications, Zaid Jilani, was given valuable real estate in @nytimes.com to publish his uninformed opinion on abortion. Just pure shitposting with zero facts. When I talk about systemic misogyny in the media, this is exactly what I mean.

NBA is rigged! when Spurs had 29 point lead the game should have been immediately stopped and Spurs declared winner. Instead officials decides to play "4th quarter?" and Knicks "somehow" score enough baskets to win. Fraud!

They came here fleeing persecution; rather than give them refuge, Marco Rubio’s state department will send them to die in countries they’ve never been to. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/w...
