“Socialist,” “communist,” and “Marxist” are not interchangeable.

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...

It’s unsurprising but shameful nonetheless that Sen. McConnell’s office won’t tell his own constituents what is happening. He’s leaving office, and this life, the way he lived it. As a disappointment.

Fuck the Blue Angels. That is all. Carry on.

I happen to think FIFA is corrupt as hell, Trump is corrupt as hell, FIFA likely would've suspended the red card anyway regardless of Trump (for some corrupt reason), but they were right to anyway. Balogun didn't plan that, and you can see him instinctively pull away when he feels it's not grass.

The President of the United States is a liar.

I find it hard to believe that there are still people who support Trump after his convictions, civil judgements, an insurrection, immorality, lack of allegiance to the U.S. and the Constitution, and the blatant widespread corruption.

Texans, vote for Gina Hinojosa! She hangs out with Willie, she doesn't want to kill pregnant women and force feed Christian sharia law down your throats. It's time to push Greg right on out of the governor's mansion in Austin.

A photograph of Friedrich Trump shortly after his expulsion from the Kingdom of Bavaria on order of Prince Regent Luitpold based on findings that he, as a draft dodger and operator of a bordello, was a person of poor moral character.

This was eye opening. And hilarious. youtu.be/P6grAoS-muM?...

The next Senator from Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan, and I had a fantastic Fourth of July on parade with incredible DFL leaders. Thank you, Apple Valley, Richfield, and Edina!

WOULD SOME NEWS ORGANIZATION TREAT THIS AS IT SHOULD BE TREATED? -->President Donald Trump posted a doctored photo defaming his predecessor, President Barack Obama, and his wife. Trump regularly posts doctored and AI-produced graphics with racist and Nazi content. He is unfit for office.

Listen, if you don’t know the difference between Democratic socialism and communism, I’m not engaging with you. Crack a book.

my hot take is that this is the actual america 250. just a ton of different people coming together, showing people what makes America weird and fun. people being welcoming. and yeah there’s some bullshit too, which is also very true to America! but the good and community far outweighs it rn.

Secrecy surrounding executions in Florida has left victims’ families, prisoners and lawyers searching for clues about the governor’s selection process. “He could be deciding who is next to die by throwing darts at a list of names,” one lawyer said. with @nytimes.com

OPINION: "Is this the silence before the storm? Do we all just demand a Fourth of July, especially a 250th (!) without it being centered on "Donald J. Trump," want to be on our best behavior while hosting the world, and only afterwards will we then threaten 250 years by [tearing up] Labor Day?"

The Trump administration’s budget request for the next fiscal year includes steep cuts to passenger rail. But rural Republicans have historically relied on it. How is this playing out with voters in real time, particularly ahead of the midterm elections? Chris Vazquez took the train to find out.

A well-deserved honor for Prof. Peter Hotez!

McDonald’s is planning to dump drive thru attendants, instead having an AI model named Archy handle orders. So, instead of annual revenue of $27B they’ll make $28B. All for laying off thousands of people and likely destroying customer relations, service and satisfaction. Talk about corporate greed.

President Trump has tried to scale back anti-discrimination regulations that date back decades. Federal agencies, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, have dropped cases in response. Legal advocates describe a generational void in civil rights enforcement. nyti.ms/4f3PBPu

President Senile Pedophile just personally intervened to help a birthright citizen play soccer for the USA while also trying to end birthright citizenship in the USA.

"The Tommy Tuberville Foundation’s treasurer couldn’t say whether the senator had kept his promise. 'Coach has to live with that himself, I know what he said and I know what he promised — me and the people heard that,' he said. 'I’m not trying to cover for him'....” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

The U.S. military shot and killed a man this morning. In America. www.npr.org/2026/07/05/n...

Resistance is an art form! Kevin Champeny's work celebrates the beauty of accumulation how countless small elements can create depth, movement, & meaning that no single piece could achieve alone. A reminder that the smallest details often carry the greatest impact. 🔥🔥💙 #pinks

Not for musk it wasn’t. He got everyone’s data and destroyed investigations into him and his companies

DOGE was a complete failure.

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED

The most corrupt administration of all time. Trump, by any measure possible, compared to any other president in history, is a complete and total failure. He lacks morals, intelligence, common sense... any duty to uphold the Constitution, justice or help the American People. #TrumpIsCorrupt!

Republicans may be running out the clock on disclosing whether McConnell is even alive, purely so a filing deadline slides past and Thomas Massie can't grab the seat. A man's actual mortality reduced to a procedural loophole for gatekeeping power.

Trump ruins everything.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 05 JULY 2026 SORRY WASHINGTON DC & SURROUNDING AREA THE AFTERMATH Trump cares nothing for people or the environment He had have it "yuge" Today Code Purple Air Quality Extremely Bad Environmental damage to Potomac & his pool Soot & Perchlorates OMG it's so bad

A reminder that the fascists surrounding the Black woman in DC in the top picture are the descendants of the fascists yelling at Elizabeth Eckford in Little Rock in the bottom picture. The past isn’t the past. It’s here and now.

"It was founded on the belief that free people could govern themselves. That power should never belong to one family or one ruler. That liberty required responsibility. That institutions would outlive individuals. That a republic would only survive if its people chose to keep it."

. “Kentucky, a special election to replace a Senator will NOT be called if it’s closer than 3 months till the next election”… …medical expert…“even if he is alive, unfit to serve”…Republicans may be seeking to avoid…Massie… last-minute grab for McConnell’s seat www.rawstory.com/mitch-mcconn...

Trump "extends gun rights to buyers who had faced restrictions because of mental illness..." www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/u...

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
