SHARP, BLUNT, POINTED: Nichols points out that working-class white men support Trump though he violates their own standards of "masculinity" because his power targets cultural enemies they resent, insecurities, and anxieties, with Trump functioning as a spectacle and outlet for their frustration.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Remarkable stats from this week's Economist/YouGov poll. Trump's job approval with Moderates 29%-67% (-38) Independents 29%-60% (-31)

I won’t be going high anymore. I return the same energy, and if we both end up in hell, so be it.

“Every honest report is met with a barrage of emails, phone calls and social media smears, all designed to create just enough doubt to make editors pull back.” aje.io/xnuggs

What if there were already some sort of contest where people were able to choose between them, I wonder how that would go

The Fentanyl crisis is because of billionaires. And our health care system. Not China. Not Mexico. Not immigrants. We run health care for profit. The Sacklers family pump opioids into people, telling them it is safe. People get addicted. They die. The Sacklers profit.

Listen to me and some friends on KKFI 90.1 FM in Kansas City at 3 pm. today to hear us discuss conservation with Ginny Moore of the Conservation Fund.✌️

Here’s a radical idea, everyone working or not deserves healthcare, including mental health and dental care.

Just 180 days until Trump’s #medicare cuts hit nursing home patients.

Individual companies include DoorDash, Uber, Great Clips, American Airlines, United Airlines, Delta, 3M, Cisco, Chevron, Comcast, UPS, the US Chamber of Commerce, and every non-credit union banking association.

He’s a liar.

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow? Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy? Our new concentration camps? Our dying economy? Our ditching due process? Our corruption? Our broken legislature? Our corrupt SCOTUS? Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

Let’s help come up with great campaign slogans for the faux #populist senator who voted to gut billions from #Medicare and #snap in #Missouri. I’ll go first. @joshhawleymo.bsky.social is Wall Street’s idea of a farm boy.

Thinking (again) about DYING OF WHITENESS which explores the fact that lots of people are happy to suffer and die of preventable causes as long as people they don’t like can’t get help from the government.

We spend $880 billion a year on the military—the world’s biggest polluter and a driver of global instability. Meanwhile, millions go hungry, schools crumble, and healthcare is out of reach.

Nothing that has happened has surprised me. That the same man who wished for alligator-filled moats to stop border crossings and pardoned Joe Arpaio wants to house people in an Alligator Alcatraz in tents in Florida in the middle of the summer is not shocking in the least.

The White House is starting construction on a concentration camp for undesirables, because that worked out so well in the past. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Bombing for peace is like burning books to promote literacy.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Im just so upset and angry. I fear for the world ahead of us. With so many legitimate problems in desperate need of solutions. We are creating chaos and fomenting hate when we could be creating better lives and building communities. Why? Those in thrones desire it so.

Yes.

Spare us the fake outrage.

I think the sentiment is worth sharing.

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens. Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.

Whats collapsing in America isn't infrastructure, it's legitimacy.

I saw the post from the onion about Trump declaring himself the pope then the next day he said he wants to be pope. I’d say he’s reading the onion for ideas but I don’t think he reads. Wtf is actually happening right now.

Congrats everyone — we are at the point where The Onion and real life are indistinguishable from one another. 😳🇺🇸 theonion.com/ice-agents-w...

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

Indoctrination.

recession comin'

It’d be cool if the ppl who kicked & screamed about the phony Biden bribery story (where the FBI informant went to prison for lying) at least pretended to care about Trump blatantly selling access. (cc: @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty @RepTimBurchett) newrepublic.com/post/194420/...

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

NOPE.

made this argument last month but trump’s retribution campaign is very clearly against the entire american people.

WATCH: “He said it in the Oval Office. There’s video. Google ‘Donald Trump Homegrowns’.” On Fox, @maxwellfrost.bsky.social embarrasses @willcain with facts about Trump wanting to deport American citizens — causing Cain to lash out at his own staff for not stopping him in his earpiece.
