How a one-off gag from a cult-favorite Disney cartoon became a case study of year-round holiday consumerism.

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

WATCH — Trump’s budget guy @russvought claims cutting billions in US AID didn’t cause many deaths of children (it definitely did) 😳 and calls it “slander” that @RepMarkPocan called him a “Christian nationalist” even after he wrote articles defending it 🤔

: Trump has finally released photographic proof that his American State Fair is absolutely packed. Some are calling it the largest crowd ever assembled.

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

Ha! Supreme Court can’t get him out of this mess…

Massie turns the tables on Fox "News." LOL.

Semantics. The war isn’t over until the defense contractors are satisfied with their profit margins.

World Cup revelation? U.S. spends all its money on bombs, dumb wars, and obscene tax cuts for the filthy rich instead.

Be honest: those racist f*cks only took down the Confederate flag images because they got called out. They felt comfortable being exactly who they are at that fair. “Very fine people on both sides,” remember?

If you can’t or don’t want to perform your public duties, then don’t take the job. Hello. youtube.com/shorts/xFwNR...

Court deals a deathblow to Trump's executive order on voting rights www.rawstory.com/trump-court-... #USD #PB Not only does this ruling stop Trump’s attempt to take over voting. It is also a death blow to the abominable SAVE Act Trump is on massive losing streak in court.

Back in reality, every major economy around the world except for the US has universal healthcare and there are various models from government managed, which appears to be what you are afraid of, to majority private managed.

This man is off his rocker.

For those of you raking, or filtering, or guarding the pond scum. Here is an idea for a side hustle. Start filling little bottles with 100% genuine reflecting pool algae water Maybe put in a chip of blue coating that has detached naturally Do a 250 🇺🇸 Anniversary Style label Sell #DOOR

I am not one of those "There aren't going to be midterms" people. There are going to be midterms. And they're going to be incredibly scary. Elections are one of the rare moments when his team can't enforce collective delusion, but they're going to go to terrifying lengths to attempt it.

This weekend marked the 60th anniversary of the release of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and if any of you out there are looking for a place to start with Mike Nichols, or Edward Albee, or the transition from old Hollywood to new, you couldn't do better. It's a film that opens so many doors.

There’s a lot to unpack with the Iran negotiations, but here are the big takeaways: Kushner is there to work out the best deal for his own business interests, not the best deal for the U.S. “He is a fundamentally corrupted actor in these negotiations.” - Chris Murphy 1/2

There is, without question, security video available and they would, without question, have put out security video of an Antifa super-soldier dragging a box cutter along the surface of the Reflecting Pool if they had it. This is nonsense and the White House press corps should, again, be ashamed.

Ian Carroll confirms Jeffrey Epstein was officially invited to Peter Thiel's ultra-secret Dialog society. The Washington establishment and tech elites hid this shadow group for 20 years. The deep state actively protects these elite predator networks!

Audio of Collins and RFK Jr. having a conversation would sound like a cassette tape that's been left in a hot car.

Let’s have organic intelligence instead.

My name is Tim, and I'm a Sedaris completist. His latest, "The Land and Its People," had me in stitches. Especially entertaining was his essay about his DuoLingo lessons. And, since it's Sedaris, listening to the audiobook is the best way to consume it. He narrates. www.audible.com/pd/The-Land-...

Hope you all had a marvelous Bloomsday.

Well, there’s another $14 million down the drain. (To a no-bid contractor.) Estimated cost: $1.5 million

REPORTER: Have you been briefed by the administration about what's in this supposed deal by Iran? THUNE: *long digression* REPORTER: But have you been briefed? THUNE: I certainly have not yet, although we are requesting it, and I assume we will at some point hear from the administration
