It wasn’t chess. It was common fucking sense! It was having values and sticking to them!

and another thing: im not dead. please dont put in the newspaper that i got dead.

A sacred tenet of the Senate is that you don’t have to be conscious if you have good staffing.

Cuba continues to be strangled by its neighbour and no one seems to care.

This passage from @davidlat.bsky.social perfectly captures the false dichotomy you see so often from the Supreme Court's defenders: The Court is held out as "independent" because it doesn't *always* rule for Trump.

Hey @chicagotribune.com Editorial Board: Why did you describe me as a “bomb-throwing influencer”? This is wrong, inflammatory, and racist. Change it. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/05/e...

Trump celebrating Balogun’s eligibility to play for Team USA when his administration would strip Balogun’s citizenship tomorrow if he didn’t play world class soccer is really a chef’s kiss.
