We are now officially a declared state of emergency. wvpublic.org/story/energy...

All he did was endanger the lives of D.C. residents with a useless stunt because he's a selfish prick

How is it that 'antifa' is a huge threat but actual n@zis can march through the capitol with masks on and that's totally fine? If they are so damn proud why are they covering their faces?

it's Sunday, and it's time for "this week in stupid: July 5 edition" — MAGA says no, Donny says yo, and so much more... thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

OMG. Well, this is ridiculously encouraging.

DC Rumors: Since Mitch McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, has been in China while he’s presumably in the hospital, Malaria Trump has made an unscheduled trip to Slovenia. (Pictured: Senile Satan enjoying the fireworks)

I'd add 'supremacist' worldview. Reminds me of this outstanding essay by @juliusgoat.bsky.social

Obviously he took the cash payout too, so that kills the total amount collected right off the top even before any fed or state taxes are taken out

There’s no difference between men marching in white masks and men marching in white hoods. None.

These all sound like excellent ideas.

The corruption is staggering in scale and scope, it doesn’t stop, and Republicans in Congress refuse to do any oversight because, as Mike Johnson admitted this week, they serve as a protection racket to cover up the crimes of the regime.

“.. The Florida for-sale market is flashing warning signs: 45% of listings have taken a price cut (6.6 pts above the national rate) “.. 1 in 10 homes are selling for less than the original owner paid.” - Parcl Labs

Trump calling FIFA to “understand the rules” is the new Trump calling Georgia to “find me 11780 votes”

SCOTUS upheld birthright citizenship, but Republicans won't take no for an answer. Speaker Johnson is pushing Congress to gut 14th Amendment over "birthright tourism." The GOP's war on American-born children is cruel, un-American, & desperate after their court loss. www.newsweek.com/johnson-cong...

Maybe the Dems should listen to what the voters want, rather than trying to tell the voters what they think they should want. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Complete 🐎💩

On rereading the Declaration of Independence this weekend, I noticed that the mentions of the creator put them squarely in nature, as Deists and people trying to find a middle way among a variety of faiths might. The point was the natural rights of people, not a religious statement.

In the well-over 100,000 documents written by founders included in the Founders Online database from the National Archives, no one uses the phrase "God's noble experiment." No one.

The actual jobs that immigrants do - yes, they work - are greatly underappreciated, and going after immigrants victimizes everyone. ICYMI @citizencohn.bsky.social:

Tucson, not even a checkpoint: agents smash windows, drag a US citizen to the ground, falsely claim he had a gun — then assault the man filming it. Fourth Amendment, First Amendment, § 242, all violated in one stop. This is what 'law enforcement' looks like when profiling replaces probable cause.

The key is its Trump voters, an increasingly marinated, concentrated cult.

Chris Wright holds two degrees from MIT, so the real question is whether he’s a truly smart guy who’s now pretending to be stupid for political reasons, of if he’s just an actually dumb guy who cheated his way through school.

It’s a lot like the old guard’s freakout over the “Watergate babies” elected in 1974.

I won’t post the image but yes it’s disgustingly racist trash I’m used to seeing from this man. He is a bigot, a fascist and a convicted criminal. When this is over, we will rip his name down off everything.

On July 4th, the man who incited January 6th does not get to lecture the rest of us about saving democracy or what it means to be patriotic.

Elaine Chao meets with China's vice president 3 days after McConnell's hospitalization Imagine the Fox News headline if they were Democrats www.wlky.com/article/elai...

Zionism IS THE ENTIRE ISSUE. FUCK NETANYAHU.

As far as I can tell there’s still a thunderstorm expected to happen in the next couple of hours in Washington DC but Trump has decided that he must give his speech and so has told them to reopen the grounds so people can be outside in a thunderstorm during his speech.

It's so offensive to hear him use the collective first-person pronoun "us" when describing past U.S. military victories, considering that he's a shameless draft-dodger who would never ever—ever, ever—have fought for his country, and believes U.S. soldiers are "losers and suckers"

OK, now the speech has turned into a commercial for the so-called SAVE America Act, his nakedly illegal plot to try to steal all future American elections by rigging them to allow only ballots by people he believes will vote Republican

If I'd told you that on the evening of July 4th on the nation's 250th birthday it would be 11:15PM, Trump would not yet have spoken, there would only be a few hundred people in attendance, and the event stage would be featuring a foreign opera, you would've had me committed

Being held accountable for all his crimes is "not being treated well" in Trump's mindd.

By speaking out, this Major has likely relinquished his right to millions of dollars of future benefits and entitlements of his service. Health insurance, pension, etc. When Hegseth was threatening Mark Kelly an other veteran members of Congress, that’s what he was after. Not a small show of courage

It’s the world’s dumbest cult.

“These documents in FBI possession detail at least 20 men including - 1 Hollywood producer 1 Royal Prince 1 in the Music Industry 1 Prominent Banker 1 Government Official 1 Former Politician 1 Owner of a Car Co. in Italy 1 Rockstar 1 Magician and at least 6 Billionaires” #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinTrials

Goodnight, Everyone FUCK TRUMP! FUCK ICE! FUCK REPUBLICANS! FUCK FASCISM!!!

Democrats are preparing a hostile audit of Trump and his inner circle, intent on exposing — and ultimately ending — the most lucrative presidency in American history. Dems see the presidential gold rush as corruption personified — and plan to bury Trump's orbit in subpoenas if they win the House.

would love to see a hostile audit of Freedom 250. hell, would love to see hostile audits of everything even tangentially related to trump. this will produce endless material. you could conceivably bring the administration to an effective halt!

Great moments in DSA advertising.

👀 FOX: “Biggest grift of all time”

I was introducing a couple of my kids to '1776,' and turned it off to send them to bed just as Adams was fighting with Jefferson over who should draft the Declaration. And as the movie turned off, on came C-SPAN streaming a debate between Adams and Jefferson reenactors. Weird coincidence.

It was us climate scientists. We can geoengineer record heat waves with our space lasers but a trillion tons of carbon pollution from two centuries of fossil fuel burning can't warm the atmosphere

😂

Dear Canada, We are so very sorry grandpa trump got loose and came into your yard. He has dementia, you know. I know he threatened to beat you up and then slashed your tires. Should he bother you again, hand him a cheap gold colored trophy or medal and he will usually go away.

This is what Luxon is talking about when he said "brutally commercialise our science system". No more and no less. It is akin to the model that is applied by the (over) fishing industry. And the mining industry. And the dairy industry. And the forestry industry. #NZPOL
