How low can we go? The reading level of Americans is under 5th grade reading level. It explains why things are the way they are...

Systemic corruption under purportedly socialist governments have left the services needed to confront a disaster like this hopelessly run down. The widely-loathed regime may use the tragedy to stall elections

Mallory McMorrow has suspended her Senate campaign. Honestly, I'm glad. Her interview about Israel where she couldn't call the genocide a genocide or commit to stop funding them was disastrous. Now the race is between Abdul El-Sayed and the cringe AIPAC candidate Haley Stevens. Vote Abdul El-Sayed!

!! Mallory McMorrow drops out of the Michigan Senate primary, leaving a one-on-one contest between Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens. This dramatically changes the dynamic of the race. A must-win seat for Democrats this fall.

The most amazing thing if this turns out to be true (big if) is they’re pulling this shady shit and shredding McConnell’s end-of-life dignity (such as it is) to not even keep a Democrat out of the Senate, but to keep out *a Republican they don’t like.*

Things in America have gone south since the era of Reagan, McConnell, and Gingrich... Trump feels like the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse. Good Riddance to Mitch McConnell, an Enemy of Democracy flip.it/Se4Sl4

if this is actually the case there isn’t anyone who would appreciate this ghoulish maneuver more than McConnell himself so you can’t say they aren’t honoring the man

In the biggest voting news of the week, the Supreme Court rejected a Republican attempt to restrict mail voting by barring states from accepting ballots that arrive after Election Day. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

BASH: The president's armored motorcade of SUVs, which can weigh up to 20,000 pounds, drove across that new coating of the reflecting pool. Could that have damaged it? BURGUM: No. There was no damage that night whatsoever.

Dear Bluesky: Vibe coding is highly risky for serious projects because it produces software nobody truly understands. Without human oversight, this approach generates bloated, insecure, and hard-to-maintain code, introduces unknown architectural bugs, and bypasses critical security reviews.

I didn't find anything about Taylor Swift under trending.. This happens all the time. Is it click bait?

It is so wonderfully quiet in my neighborhood this morning. Like living in a lush countryside. SO different from last night. The noise was like living in a war zone

Republicans currently hold a 218-212 majority in the House, so Democrats need to flip only a handful of seats to win control.

As the U.S. faces a new era of uncertainty, America 250 offers an opportunity to evaluate the latest iteration of the country — and how we got here. We asked historians to reflect on the past — and grade the current state of American democracy👇

Donald Trump's assault on the nation's founding democratic promise has handed the political left a perfect opportunity to reclaim its legacy, argued historian Harvey Kaye in an analysis published in Zeteo on Saturday.

Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs actually did more serious damage to the US markets and to US trade interests than did Trump's war on Iran. The impact is just not becoming clear.

Zelenskyy: The whole world is waiting for Ukraine to defeat this Russian scum. Ukrainians achieved huge results despite fewer resources – and deserve pride for defending their country and their people.

And used it for his own evil purposes.

In his spew at Mt. Rushmore, Fat Hitler said 'as we begin our 250th year'. Fucking idiot. It's the beginning of our 251st year. “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had.” – Prof. William E. Kelley, Wharton #WordSalad #TrumpIsAnIdiot #Nostradumbass #DementiaDon #Impeach47

Miklós Horthy did it. Benito Mussolini did it. Adolf Hitler did it. Francisco Franco did it. Augusto Pinochet did it. Jorge Rafael Videla did it. Now Donald Trump does it. Did what? Used the threat of Communism to justify a dictatorship.

At no point has America ever been more backward-looking. The warping of its politics as a result of nostalgia has been extraordinary. And Donald Trump is the ultimate nostalgia act. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Force of Evil (1948) was the only feature film Abraham Polonsky directed before the Hollywood Blacklist effectively ended his directing career for more than 20 years. #TCMParty #ForceOfEvil ^JW #SummerOfDarkness

Just look at the amount of $$$ the 🍊💩 has made while in office. All the while the American people are struggling.

Headlines reading: Trump is considering pardoning Diddy for the 250th anniversary. This is an in your face abuse of women, from the woman abusers both. Vote, damn it!!! Then impeach.

This is in Jackson, Mississippi. Not Seattle, or Los Angeles, or Manhattan, or San Francisco. This is in Jackson, Mississippi. The pendulum swings.

Trump's party got shut down by hazardous heat and now he's supposed to speak at Mount Rushmore tonight amid golf ball sized hail and hurricane force winds. Mother nature is an ANTIFA agent confirmed.

The Cheyenne, Wyoming, Board of Public Utilities identified Goat Systems LLC, a contractor working on #Meta ’s in-progress #DataCenter campus in the High Plains Business Park, as the source of the bacteria Cupriavidus gilardii in the city’s wastewater treatment system.

Right-wing media has grown, but its brand is conspiracy, racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia & bigotry. Outlets like CBS seek MAGA cred, but morphing to fascist bullhorns is hard, even for outlets like Fox and Newsmax, who had to pay out millions for chanting Trump's lies after his 2020 loss.

Fox at Mount Rushmore: They just said there is severe weather on the way. In fact, they said hail could be coming and they are urging everybody to get inside. We're going to get to shelter.

I absolutely do not care about any of this and you shouldn't either.

There are some very very weird comments about Mamdani's speech today. C'mon people, can't you just take it for what it is (very inspiring) and quit trying to read negative crap into it?
