I don’t know if it’s a forever war but it’s definitely a till Trump is out of office war because he is incapable of admitting defeat and anytime it gets categorized that way in the dumb right wing shows he watches he starts it back up again

NEW: In 2023, New Mexico’s AG ordered an investigation into one school district after ProPublica and @nmindepth.bsky.social revealed Native students were expelled more often than any other group. The investigation confirmed “substantial racial disparities.”

This is interesting. Hope it's so. Fingers crossed that Maine Democrats make the optimal choice at their convention two weeks from now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=55Q9...

Sam Neill, known for starring in "Jurassic Park" and "The Piano," has died. He was 78.

Iran controls the strait. Trump continues to lie that it doesn’t because it is a humiliating defeat for him. Why press play along I do not know

A U.S. senator is pressing pharmaceutical giant Merck over its patenting and pricing practices after ICIJ’s #CancerCalculus investigation scrutinized their blockbuster cancer drug Keytruda.

Don’t come to us for mealy mouthed nice words about Graham. He was a reprehensible figure

The man on the left welcomed the Getty photographer who took this shot on July 4. He provided “some comfort to me in a way that I know there’s somebody else there, but most importantly, someone who’s documenting it. It gave me a sense of protection.” My CJR piece here www.cjr.org/laurels-and-...

Despite the enormously high stakes and labyrinthine legal landscape in immigration proceedings, there is no right to have a lawyer at one’s side. It’s a problem that may be slowly changing during the second Trump administration.

Radio broadcasters will be on Capitol Hill tomorrow to call for AM in all new vehicles to ensure Americans can be alerted to impending danger, to support the emergency alerting infrastructure and to provide crucial information when cell networks fail. www.radioworld.com/news-and-b...

You're telling me people are experiencing explosive diarrhea while a man who eats roadkill is in charge of our health

Very good point

4,000 dead and $113.3 billion spent (US expenditure only). War. #Trump 's investment portfolio aside, what is it good for?

“Fear divides. Nashville unites.” Mayor oconnell responds to @MarshaBlackburn’s racist Chinese restaurant ad in a new ad for his re-election campaign👇🏽 (Filmed in Ellison Place Soda Shop — the same restaurant that let Marsha film her racist ad there)

"Trump’s Illegal Boat Bombings Are Just ‘Murder for Murder’s Sake,’ U.S. Official Says" Donald Trump’s boat strikes aren’t working – because they’re ‘not actually designed to end the fentanyl crisis,’ a senior administration official tells Zeteo.

‘The rhetoric is notably different from a year or so ago, when OpenAI executives were publicly musing about one day charging thousands of dollars for monthly subscriptions to top-tier AI models to better reflect the growing value they provide to businesses.‘ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This is wild

Honestly their previous attitude probably had a lot more to do with racism than anything else: the “wrong people” were having kids.

It’s kind of crazy that an absolute majority (5/9) of all openly gay Republican members of Congress were pedophiles. Of the remaining 4, one was a sex criminal against adults and two (Santos and Schock) resigned or were expelled for financial fraud. Only Steve Gunderson had no major scandals.

Lindsey Graham's MAGA kneepads will become part of the permanent collection at the Smithsonian.

Bam!

Ha.

RFK Jr., who I do not support, is right to stop monitoring the parasites, which I do not support, that are causing an epidemic of explosive diarrhea, which I also do not support. by Glenn Greenwald

I wish for a cow face

“I want ALL of that butt!” he allegedly told one male staffer. The Florida Republican also urged an intern on several occasions to break up with his girlfriend to explore “having sex with men,” according to the lawsuit. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

How many times have you seen Mitch McConnell smile aside from the outdated newspaper

"A pastor with 15 and a half years of service at his church was arrested on June 30 for sexual exploitation of a minor, 3rd degree." www.baptistpress.com/resource-lib...

A pastor in South Carolina was arrested for "sexual exploitation of a minor." According to an affidavit, Daniel Keith Rabon, 62, had dozens of images and videos of "identifiable minors engaged in sexual activity." He was released on $125,000 bond and placed under GPS monitoring.

The medical examiner has determined Lindsey Graham died of an aortic aneurysm, AP reports. (It’s grimly fascinating to me when we get to know stuff like this and when we don’t.) www.huffpost.com/entry/lindse...

Did South Carolina Elect the Wrong Lindsey? Rocker Buckingham could have brought real star power to the Palmetto State’s Senate delegation

The Millers are such lovely people.

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

Lindsey Graham on Gaza: "Just flatten it, like we flattened Tokyo and Berlin." Lindsey Graham on the Iran War: "We are going to make tons of money." Lindsey Graham on Renée Nicole Good: "She deserved what happened. She provoked ICE." As grandma used to say: GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH.

Spelled his name wrong.

How about when he threw an angry tantrum in defense of a SCOTUS nominee credibly accused of rape? Did you all have a good collegial chuckle over that?

Nobody can tell whether the FBI is assisting with the investigation into Lindsey Graham’s death because they actually suspect foul play or if Kash just wants attention. It’s pretty pathetic.

Not sure why the FBI would be involved with a heart attack.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

Wilson: I guarantee you there are 10 reporters in D.C. right now who know exactly what Mitch McConnell’s medical status is. They’re not reporting it.  If I’m Beshear, brother, just declare the election. And if they want to prove that Mitch McConnell is alive and well, go do it.

No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum

He never deleted it.
