We must impeach and remove Donald Trump. And we will. #NY12

When it comes to blowing up your World Cup no one does it like America

We don’t often get NYT column reprints, but I was very glad to see this from @jamellebouie.net in today’s print StarTribune. Really strong piece warning of the dangers of Dems just trying to go back to “normal” after Trump. It’s among Bouie’s best (which is saying something)

the other thing about this is that the slave south was also expansionist! the entire economic conflict was over the nature of american expansion!

Ol' Karl's view of history was that capitalism had to dislodge feudalism first before socialism could in turn dislodge capitalism, and southern planters were as feudal as you can get within the American framework!

"Industrial capitalism destroyed the southern slave power, and that's a good thing" is Marxism 101, to the point that this is literally what Marx said.

Jamelle out here articulating our need for an affirmative vision for the future

it bolsters talarico’s own persona and it allows him to say things like “weak men lie to you, they steal from you, they cheat you.” put that over a montage of paxton being a scumbag and baby you got a stew going

exactly the right response

every time I say this, someone didn't know: you can get the NYRB, the New Yorker, the LRB, Paris Review, The Spectator (weirdly not New Statesman), The Week, both French & Italian Vogue & New Scientist among many many other magazines FREE via the Libby app from your local library?

another day, another insane arrogation of authority

sam alito in callais: it is just a coincidence that partisan gerrymandering looks like racial gerrymandering. it doesn’t mean anything tennessee republicans post-callais: yee haw boys we are gettin’ the negras outta government

Acting AG Todd Blanche says he's working to install "roadblocks" to prevent Democrats from prosecuting Trump and his associates in the future

2/ These absurdities are simply the degenerate spawn of the Court's corrupt "unitary executive" theory of presidential power. Corrupt theory in, degenerate spawn out.

Trump Can Tear Down Statue of Liberty, Says Trump Lawyer talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...

I love this series: acoup.blog/category/col...

Indeed, I did write that one: foreignpolicy.com/2023/07/22/s...

An OpEd in Diabetes Care would not have been my first candidate for scientific samizdat, but such are the times.

Diabetes researchers, including the editor of a flagship journal, ejected from conference after criticizing Trump's "dismantling" of biomedical research wapo.st/49EYInR

We all know this is just what the founding fathers were going for with the constitution, a king who could do whatever the fuck he wanted.

JUST IN: Trump administration argues courts lack grounds to halt White House ballroom project even if it was clearly illegal. DOJ attorney also contends no lawsuit could stop Trump from tearing down Statue of Liberty if he wanted to. w/ @kyledcheney.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

Staggering levels of corruption. They’re using every possible lever of power to enrich themselves and their friends and families. And the “party of fiscal responsibility” simply doesn’t care.

It could be because I'm a teacher and couldn't afford to quit my job to campaign.

You’re trying to pay for your gas and groceries and this guy is literally sitting in the White House stealing your taxpayer money by the billions to put in his own pocket.

Trump: "A lot of people don't know 'dumb' has a B"

NEWS: The House has passed the Ukraine Support Act, 226-195, to provide new military aid to Ukraine and impose tougher sanctions on Russia. The bill advanced through a discharge petition despite Speaker Mike Johnson's efforts to block a vote.

Imagine the pure joy of getting to write this www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/u...

The kingdom is finally starting to crumble. I just hope Ds, if successful this fall, undo everything he did, including removing the implanted loyalists & hiring back & restoring important gov't agencies. They should also send everyone who voted for Harris some reparation $. We got jipped.

How many ranchers who raise these cattle voted for Trump & celebrated DOGE? People don’t understand what govt does until the disease/pest prevention/weather prediction/disaster relief/healthcare subsidy they or a loved one depended on isn’t there & then Fox tells them to blame Democrats & they do.

If only it were incompetence Fact is, it's deliberate The tech bros and oligarchs legit want to destroy the U.S. and sell it for parts They want most of the population dead They don't need nor want us as they plan to have AI fill their needs

22yo DOGE dipshit at a keyboard in the Ag Department office building: "lol the government is wasting money on worms in Panama. grok delete this."

One of the very first things that were gutted/interrupted by this admin was screw worm management but, in particular, the cooperative component with the Mexican government and agribusiness, who were desperate for maximum collaboration/management.

"a certain irony in cattle people throwing all of their weight behind an administration that promised to be friendly to rancher politics, only for that administration to allow a hideous cattle parasite to make it into Texas because cooperating with Mexico is woke and gay" bsky.app/profile/ashe...

Last year, Trump and DOGE gutted funding for thousands of USAID programs, including monitoring and containing New World screwworm in Central America. Now, the parasite has moved north and infected American livestock. "Efficiency."

I feel like we’re in for many years of “haha, they were spending taxpayer money on bug condoms—DOGE to the rescue!” turning out to be something important Elon’s Tween Team didn’t understand.

The regulatory state is more important to the smooth operation of society to which we’ve become accustomed than anyone in this administration realizes, and in a lot of ways, we’ve already run off the cliff and are just starting to look down

This is what annoys me about so much of the anti-lanyard talk on the left. All of this shit is upheld by a bunch of underpaid civil servant experts toiling away at problems few know exist. The lanyards are load-bearing.

As a professional civil servant & lefty in my personal life, this shit drives me INSANE The stuff you like? The rights, freedoms, basic utilities & heath? THAT’S GOVERNMENT Christ, when the shit’s bad you don’t dismantle it, you FIX it; that’s how we got HERE TODAY

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

People are in motion, everywhere.

Hunter Biden spending his whole day every day on Twitter being like "I'm not a pedophile, I was smoking crack with ADULT hookers at the Super 8 outside of Newark, you guys have pictures of all of it INCLUDING my hog from My Leaked Stolen Laptop™" is a masterstroke. Should've done this years ago.

has any man ever been more vindicated? x.com/stuartbuck1/...

If my buddy was the president and he kept falling asleep all the time like that we'd sharpee dicks all over his face I'll tell you that for free.

Looking very awake sir!

Hunter Biden is enjoying himself, and I am enjoying that, and the thought about how his angriest detractors are likely unhinged by his responses to them because of their personalities.

Hunter Biden is out here responding to every tweet, even the haters. And I love that for us.

Now do Hunter Biden vs Don Jr
