Lankford was in the Senate when the Intelligence Committee wrote its giant report concluding that Russiagate was not a hoax, and it's criminal negligence by CNN to let him say this on air with no pushback.

POTENTIAL?! He’s LITERALLY stealing from us.

whomst amongst us

I can’t stop thinking about all the hoopla over removing confederate statues and the phony appeals to “heritage.” But this is done without discussion. It was always about displays of dominance.

Here's the thing I don't understand. You can't as much as sneeze near a historic site in Washington without like 14 commissions, councils, and advisory boards giving you the okay. And everybody now is like...yup, fine with us? wtf?

sorry, man, but this is breathtakingly, shockingly corrupt in every fucking way it can be, and an open and shut and uncomplicated case for impeachment. he didn’t even pay for these lawyers, his donors did, for fuck’s sake.

"US Marshal shot during immigration enforcement in LA" * article explains he was shot by an ICE officer whose weapon discharged when he used it to smash a car window

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

there is a new scandal as bad or worse than what got trump impeached the first time about every 48 hours

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

Democrats are still voting to support Trump nominees

This fact has broken me. Wilson lost this series in a way that is pretty astounding.

Once again, one reason Trump says & does whatever he wants is bc every societal institution, including the media, has totally normalized & internalized the idea that the laws, the Constitution, & the international treaties we have signed & ratified simply don’t apply to this one guy. It’s maddening.

That was an astoundingly winnable series. Really hurts. Leave Wilson in Canada

Honestly astounding how bad every Mariners starter has been this series. Just needed one of them to step up one time. Doesn’t seem in the cards.

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

Why are credible news platforms still platforming these kinds of lies and liars who tell them?

hard to think of a better example of what's happened to twitter than noah smith going from "contrarian guy who sucked and held some shitty views" to "open genocide denial and racism on main"

Hard to think of how it could go worse to this point.

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

Take it from a former Vox employee- you can make this woman cry. Don’t resign, don’t declare the death of the fourth estate, just don’t be quiet

Any media outlets that don’t address this video of Trump wearing a crown dumping shit on Americans is normalizing it. As with everything else this authoritarian regime does, you’re either calling it out or normalizing it. There is no third option.

After adding new data to our spreadsheet, our central estimate of turnout for the No Kings Day protests yesterday has risen to 5.5 million, with an upper bound of 8.7 www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

The numbers I am seeing, and the breadth of people and places with basically no arrests and so forth, seem to me an unqualified political loss for them. It is a show of strength rather than the fight itself, but you can’t downplay it.

Seems like the president and entire cabinet responding to today's rallies by posting straight up 4chan filth would be a major story tomorrow. Anyone care to place any bets

And the motherfucker wants a Nobel Peace Prize

Sorry to be corny but the aerial shots of these crowds are almost indescribably moving and hopeful

reposting with alt-text Zero arrests by NYPD is actually astounding to me

results-based business

For Tolkien fans, a timely passage for No Kings Eve, from WH Auden’s review of Lord of the Rings.

“out of touch” doesn’t even begin to describe how far afield everyone in DC is. those motherfuckers might as well be in the oort cloud or some shit given the disconnect between them and their voters (or, with some journalists, their readers)

there were people saying this is where everything was headed way back in 2020 and they were scoffed at and ignored and sidelined by the dem party. and if you ask me, maybe the people who did the scoffing should be less influential in the party going forward. just imo

"This probable decision comes in the midst of an attempted autocratic takeover of the U.S. government in which elections are the only real recourse for the defenders of constitutional and democratic rule."

Shohei Ohtani literally just homered out of Dodger Stadium

Shohei Ohtani this is just stupid...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Someone in front of me left their pants behind

You know what Dred Scott did? It returned Dred Scott to slavery. It did not create a rule of law. Because Lincoln refused to accept that it did.

I think it is about time that Democrats started familiarizing themselves with Lincoln’s response to Dred Scott instead of accepting the tacit premise that whatever a bare majority of the Supreme Court decides, dictates our constitutional fate

this white house actively treats a large swath of americans as disloyal and outside the political community and it doesn’t merit so much as a peep from the political press

This is on me for believing this had a chance of happening.

Kirk takes 4 strikes and goes to first base

I’m so fucking done with the umpires in this series

Unbelievable from these two starting pitchers. Can’t believe how badly they’ve fumbled the ball

You’ve got to be kidding me

I feel like I'm preaching to the choir here, but this could not be wronger

tired: cybertrucks WIRED: who drives a cybertruck? everyone from a dude who says “women don’t like the vehicle” to another dude who says it’s “just a vehicle” and shouldn’t be political but also plead guilty to a january 6 capitol attack charge and was later pardoned by trump
