Mitch McConnell is one of the very worst Americans of this century, a force of selfishness and spite who laid waste to our political institutions and social stability like no foreign enemy ever could.

There is exactly one thing that needs to happen on Independence Day. One tradition The only thing that absolutely had to happen was fireworks, and Trump fucked it up because he couldn't stop talking

God bless the Twins. Always there when you need them.

shutting down a major artery into the city during a holiday weekend while the world cup is in town and there’s a historic heat wave that’s lead to energy rationing just so you can have a wedding is a real radicalizing eat the rich moment

Only 9 have been in the Union the full 250, don’t let the quitters get away with their treachery!

Donald Trump is a very stupid fucking person who genuinely has no idea how anything works and the U.S. press should never be allowed to live down their failure in communicating this mercilessly and clearly to the U.S. public

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

After federal agents shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a New Yorker sent ICE's director an email in January comparing him to a Nazi. This week, DHS agents stalked him across New York. His home. A hotel. They gave his wife a letter warning of criminal prosecution. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

If I were the president-elect in November 2028, I would get a team together to compile a list of every change this administration and the GOP have made going back to Reagan so that I could start nuking those changes Day 1.

This is the only thing anyone should ever say about Elon Musk. He deserves to be talked about in the same category as Mao and Stalin as one of history's worst mass murderers.

Do not talk to the feds. Get a lawyer immediately. If you're arrested. The only words you say is "I want to speak to my lawyer." They may try to be friendly or act casual. Do not fall for it. Do. Not. Talk. To. The. Feds.

The huge mistake of Reconstruction was being too tolerant toward the Confederates. They knew they could wait out the feds and re-impose a different form of slavery.

People have got to go to jail for this war. Both political and military leadership.

there were already many reasons to do this but Elon Musk actively encouraging racist violence in Belfast should be the final straw for every UK government institution to stop doing business - including being on X - with him in any way, and for him to be barred from entry to the country.

We’re gonna need a bigger Third Reconstruction.

Trump: "I didn't guarantee no war." Trump guaranteeing no more wars:

We should be worthy of the sacrifice of the men who landed at Normandy 82 years ago today

We won’t let people forget the atrocities that happened during Operation Midway Blitz and the erosion of our democracy here in the US. Illinois will hold Donald Trump and his accomplices accountable.

happy 82nd D-day anniversary to antifa

Otto comin’

It's not the thing that's caused the most death and harm, but pointlessly and maliciously torching our deep-rooted relationship with our closest national friend and neighbor is, in terms of history and national character, one of the most depressing aspects of the broader catastrophe.

Real fucking tired of blue state governors cosplaying as red state governors. @mikiesherrill.bsky.social

There is no deal FYI. The Strait will remain closed. This is terrible news but it’s the price of incompetence.

People discovering that New England, much like Florida, gets more Southern the further north you go. -OS

Once again an administration that calls its opponents “elites” and portrays themselves as victims of a hostile media are just going to get away with another series of actions that would have immediately ended any other Presidential administration in history.

Listen, I was born poor and rural. My high school mascot was a literal hillbilly. I understand white trash culture. I can say with complete confidence that this is white trash culture. 

workshopping a take: if your entire way of playing basketball depends not only on there being referees, but on them being bad at their jobs, you deserve to be beheaded with a greatsword

What I witnessed and experienced today was shameful. Delaney Hall is a failure; it’s this administration’s failure. The only way to make this right for our communities is to shut it down and make sure the failures we’ve seen never happen again. 4/4

New, from me: He turned the part of Lincoln into the party of Trump, and has broadly succeeded in turning the US federal government into a personalist regime. Here are seven signs that personalism has come to define the second Trump administration. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/scenes-fro...

In this Ohio diner, the parliamentarian still means George Clinton. But they do know this: if Trump builds his ballroom illegally, Congressional Democrats should just tear the roof off the sucker.

me in my bluesky bubble

@mayor.nyc.gov: “I have thought often of the "Margeret Thatcher quote: ‘the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.’ If anything, my friends, it seems that you eventually need a socialist to clean up the mess."

I don't know, man. If the Brewers asked about one of my team's pitchers I think I might just hang up. And the Red Sox were like "here are three"

stupid ballgame from a stupid team

I’m sorry but the Dems need to run on putting everyone from this administration and bureaucrats who enabled them in prison.

Love this move for Boston, move an aging vet for young talent. Little Joe still has some good years left in him so I would have liked to have seen them try to get Pittsburgh to throw in a depth reptile or raptor but all in all I can’t complain.

REIGNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG BLOOD FROM A LACERATED SKY

Democrats need to understand we’re already in a revolutionary moment. The American republic built in the 60s and 70s is being swept away by Republicans and the Supreme Court. It’s up to us to fight for a liberal democratic future. My latest: www.liberalcurrents.com/democrats-ne...

This. All of this. #Pinks #ProudBlue

We are ostensibly a free country and the degree to which we don’t know what is actually going on in a vast network of “camps” on our own soil in the year 2026 is….. something we are probably never going to come close to actually grappling with as a country

It’s like a development league for the Trump administration.

2/ We found at least 79 children hurt by tear gas or pepper spray during Trump’s deportation blitz. It’s likely a vast underestimate. Kids were at home, sitting in strollers or attending a daytime protest with their parents. Then, chemicals left them gasping for air.

A big reason the White House press corps deserve to be locked in the ballroom mausoleum with him and burned alive is that they never, ever defend their woman colleagues from this continual degradation.

I know Jesuits, not Augustinians, but there’s a close relationship & the tone here is familiar to me as, ‘It would be instructive for the rest of the class to have you flayed, but for various reasons I won’t do that’

This one hurts. RIP to a legend. As a 90s kid in New York, John IS the Yankees to me as much as Ruth and Mantle and the rest of the guys in the history books. And once I joined YES, he always a friendly guy around the booth. Tough day, but it’ll be nice to celebrate John Sterling on a game day.

John Sterling died this morning. Reupping this from his retirement: defector.com/john-sterlin...

Historian here exactly. The Dems need to learn from the no quarters given political tactics and campaigns of the Republicans in the 1850s and 1860s when they managed to upend half a century slaveholder dominance of the federal government.

Whether it's Pete Hegseth using taxpayer money to fly on Army Apache helicopters with Kid Rock or Lloyd Austin being Black, both secretaries of defense have done things the other side finds unacceptable.
