It’s crazy that Americans have such a fucked government that we can’t even get a confirmation if one of our elected representatives is alive or not

y’all buy gas at the government run gas station this is definitely not communism

These companies should be sued out of existence for every tort incurred as a result. Car UX WAS A SOLVED PROBLEM.

DOGE officially ended over the weekend. One of its crowning achievements was cutting $15M from the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1B to combat the screwworm outbreak. "Efficiency."

guys I’m going one further and saying that completely unvetted candidates showing up seemingly out of nowhere never having held office not even student council no law degree nothing just a face and a story don’t belong in the US Senate

I have no idea what I might have liked along the way that caused this but today my insta feed is ~70% AI slop like I needed more reason to not use insta

nazi tattoo still undefeated as red flag

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

well, not from sanders either.

"They just want to turn it off." A fascinating story of the librarians who have started teaching classes showing people how to remove AI "features" from their phones and apps. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/07/02/m...

I think we shouldn’t disregard the possibility that he was chosen specifically for the baggage

I don’t understand how people can run for office knowing they have insane baggage and/or crimes. Like I spent the entire campaign expecting AIPAC to somehow dig up my middle school livejournal fanfic account. I prepared my family for it. I’m still amazed it didn’t happen.

one thing about people thinking Platner changed is that he didn't actually say he did, apologize for anything he'd done in an unqualified way, or do anything to indicate that this was the case. the idea that he had was fully confabulated by his supporters.

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

We cannot let them get away with pretending a sitting US Senator is alive when he’s not.

they should also be required to purchase insurance that will cover any "externalities" produced by the data center, such as any environmental, structural, chemical, or airborne waste

Here’s a crazy idea: if a corporation wants to build a data center, they should also be required to construct renewable resource mechanisms to operate it—not funded by the public, but from the mountains of wealth they already possess.

how long til platner runs as a republican

let this be a lesson to deal with your feelings of gender anxiety and masculine inadequacy with a hobby or therapy or something and not a high stakes senate election

mad king trump is back to threatening our allies i see

JUST IN: Over 1,200 former DOJ employees just signed a letter urging the Senate to REJECT Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General.

The Houston Chronicle, largest newspaper in Houston endorse James Talarico! 👏 Writing, “Texans deserve better than Ken Paxton’s moral rot’… Paxton’s documented deeds prove he’s a man of low character, lacking integrity. An extremely very poor candidate for an even more powerful political office.

moving forward from graham platner everyone needs to hold hands and say all together "in the United States Senate we nominate VETTED candidates with experience in elected office" nobody as green as he is starts at that level! he doesn't even have a law degree. US Senate? Am I missing something?

not everyone that commits sexual assault has a nazi tattoo, but...

the point to be rammed home is that Nazi tattoos are not a “purity test” they’re “basic hygiene”

when we said there’s a certain type of person that has a Nazi tattoo and that type of person is strictly unacceptable in public office this is precisely what we were referring to

the world’s richest man is officially against democracy

This is the piece that is missing from all of the “Trump is going to corrupt and steal our elections, either in 2026 or 2028.” Unspoken every time that fear is voiced is “and we’re just going to let him,” which says more about the people saying it than the people they’re trying to describe.

Women’s use of AI is perceived as a sign of incompetence, while men’s use of AI is seen as an indication of initiative. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I have been tallying RICO predicates all week at work and this is straight up wire fraud and possibly bank fraud, depending on the specific mechanics

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

"Biden was visibly dying" is a claim that needs to grapple with the fact that he's very much alive currently.

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

is he referring to melania Trump

I may write a book about things I should be doing with my life. It would be my Oughtabiography. 🐢💨

Brilliant. How real trolling is done.

The largest Presbyterian denomination in the United States has voted overwhelmingly to recognize Israel’s war in Gaza as a genocide and to divest from Palantir Technologies and General Electric Aerospace over their ties to Israel’s military and intelligence services.

Jack Smith: "I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime"

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

If you're not downloading your Bandcamp music...perhaps you should.

it really stinks that bandcamp, a profitable company that’s enabled something like a revolution in independent music distribution, is just going to get wound down and thrown away because its corporate owners don’t have a use for it

Fox News is brain poison turn it off wherever you see it

let’s kick some ass y’all just go and be awesome, you got this

We shouldn't have stopped throwing tomatoes at people that suck.
