Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

These three things are true: 1. You should go to the rally. 2. You should practice good opsec just in case—even if you're a bunch of retirees milling about in a parking lot, it's good to practice. 3. You should talk to your neighbors and turn the energy into action that will carry past tomorrow.

Why ORANGE CASSIDY rules!

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW). The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Exactly this

These are all people who wanted to kill their enemies before Charlie Kirk was shot, are more vocal about it now, and will keep lusting for it long after Charlie Kirk has been buried. Today’s biggest event could have been a dog farting and they would have reacted by wanting you dead.

I would like to remember Medgar Evers today. And Melissa Hortman. And RFK Senior. And Leo Ryan. And George Tiller. And Martin Luther King. And Gabe Zimmerman. And all the kids at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. And all the people at the Pulse nightclub. Sorry if I am leaving anyone out.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

young man, you have killed all your sperms, I said young man, you don’t need to fear germs, I said young man, give your brain some more worms, you can eat 👏 that 👏 whale 👏 you scavenged

Age verification? I subscribed to Newsweek when it was a respectable news source.

Holy shit…You can’t make this up: a plane is circling Soldier Field before the Bears home opener with a banner that reads— “HEY ICE, MASKS ARE FOR CUCKS.” Also the trolling is incredible for those that told us to stop wearing masks during the pandemic.

#FreeDC march in the city today.

The administration plans to attack public festivities in Chicago around Mexican Independence Day (which may include this weekend's parade in Pilsen or related activities) because they want to attack folks in settings where people will try to protect and hold onto community members.

Why are federal agents wearing masks to hide their face? Public servants should face the public — take off your masks! We just launched ads at over a hundred bus shelters around Washington, D.C. — check them out!

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

The median voter isn't a pureed balance of elite centrist takes, they're somebody who has a passionate opinion about vehicle registration fees but couldn't name the current vice president.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Grandma, delete all those photos of your beloved grandchildren: someone wants to run the AI prompt "Regenerate all the Zelda games, except she has massive gazongas".

always smile when i think of how despite harvesting of everyone's personal data becoming omnipresent, reaching ever farther, getting every last little detail about our habits tracked, the internet still has not gotten any better at showing me ads containing things i actually want to buy

🧵🧵🧵 In this thread, I lay out more than a dozen facts about Trump and his child-molester friends Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. I challenge you to read the whole thread and then decide what the odds are that Trump did not abuse girls or tolerate his pals Epstein and Maxwell doing so.

what we need is a modern-day john henry. a person who can challenge the machinery of chatgpt head-on, point to kentucky on a map, and say "that isn't huooww6ombaaam"

This is an absolute betrayal to people who faithfully served their country. There is not a single Republican on earth who gets to utter the lie that they “care about our troops” now

Every day, that demented old man makes the White House look even tackier, having workers glue gold-spray-painted polyurethane bric-a-brac to every available surface. Who knew it was even possible in the United States to stand out for your vulgarity?

I truly cannot emphasize enough how this is straight up Lysenkoism. Because of the incredible work of our nation’s scientists, we have our finger tips on the closest thing humanity has ever come to “a cure for cancer”, but brainworm over here doesn’t believe in it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/h...

“It’s so cheap to build a solar panel now. It’s cheaper than producing a plank of wood…But we’ve swaddled this engineering miracle in rolls and rolls of red tape to make it too expensive for American families.”

Social media is abuzz—not just with reports of fireflies, but with a startling claim: that this is the last generation to experience their dazzling light show. 🪲💡 Our firefly team has been getting this question for weeks, so today we are bringing you some answers!⤵️ xerces.org/blog/are-fir...

I keep seeing people say things like, “Well we’re not going to HAVE elections,” and with all due respect, I think this is both wildly pessimistic and also wildly naive. We are not going to have free and fair elections. We also have not had them in the past.
