📌Waiting for the MSM to descend on Maine to start non-stop bombarding Susan Collins for supporting a racist and alleged rapist for the Supreme Court.

An incredible life here, both saved and defined by a technology now made obsolete through vaccination

It’s a tough read because you have to wonder how long any country can be governed like this and still survive.

Sustainable Aircraft Fuel #SAF production is expected to reach 1.9 million tons this year, 0.6% of total global jet fuel production. For net zero by 2050, the @iea.org states that over 10% of fuel consumption in aviation needs to be SAF by 2030. decarbonfuse.com/posts/topsoe...

Aside from reforming and expanding SCOTUS, I really really really think Democrats need to create a proportional representation system for the House and increase the size. Breaking the two party system is the best thing we can do for ourselves.

old enough to remember when these guys were claiming DOGE was necessary for transparency and public accountability

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear sent a public letter to Sen. Mitch McConnell requesting a full update on his health, citing weeks of limited information since McConnell’s June 14 hospitalization. Beshear called for transparency about his ability to serve.

Nothing changes unless the Supreme Court radically changes, and that goes for just about everything in the U.S..

I’ll call this more of a yellow flag. DOJ sends monitors to polling places every election. More concerning as the letter it sent yesterday warning the Secretary of State against committing crimes. Based on 2020, we are right to be on alert.

First, he turns up and says he still wants Greeland. Now he wants to end all trade between Spain and the US. Including "visits". Does the "visits" thing cut two ways? No Americans to visit Spain? You could not make this stuff up. www.politico.eu/article/trum...

When I said JD Vance’s racist lies about Haitians in Springfield, Ohio sounded like inciting a pogrom, that isn’t a word I use lightly.

The Trump administration violated U.S. law by providing Iran’s government with confidential information detailing the asylum applications for Iranians it planned to deport, a new lawsuit filed in D.C. alleges.

I forgot how stupid this man was.

I can't believe we still have to remind people of these things but: most rape victims don't file police reports. (You're reading one right now.) Shock, denial, need to appease the rapist, nominally friendly behavior toward the rapist, etc. are all common reactions

After a phone call from Donald Trump FIFA has ruled that the American team gets to use guns

Cabo Verde answers, we are even after Deroy Duarte's goal

My go-to example when teaching about derivatives is to compare them to insurance but note that you can trade derivatives without holding the underlying asset, whereas you cannot take out an insurance policy on your neighbor's house because that would obviously create fucked up incentives 🙃

Wars always come home.

Four years ago, a coordinated right-wing smear campaign condemned Monticello for "going woke." Bridget Gillespie was working there at the time, and she gives this revelatory inside account of the harassment staff endured and ultimately how the institution buckled. Amazing piece.

You have never laughed as hard as the Washington Post reporter who wrote this sentence.

Good piece regarding the long-term impact of the SCOTUS 6 gutting judicial review of TPS terminations. In short, long-term care facilities like nursing homes, along with hospitals and ER departments are kinda hosed because Trump/Miller is deporting a big chunk of their workforces.

The legal analysis of the Opus Dei court, revealed.

Has anyone discussed the appropriate way to deal with self dealing by Trump, family and friends once this is all over?

“When the president..orders military action against foreign countries absent an emergency scenario..that's..usurpation of Congress's authority..These violations resulted in the deaths of 13 service members..For this, the president and vice president must be impeached” Active Duty Major Jason Watson

Sacrificing his freedom and everything he’s worked so hard for is incredibly selfless. Protecting our country then and now — to uphold his oath to the constitution. Mad RESPECT!✊🏼

The death toll of the Russian attack on Kyiv has grown to 17 people. Search and rescue operations continue. It's so hard to go online after massive Russian attacks - the news are more horrible every time....

SCREW YOU, SUPREME COURT

No firearms? Why not? "The overwhelming weight of historical evidence supported the right of the public to peaceably carry handguns for self-defense." So said SCOTUS six days ago. Then they struck down a law which "provided that no one carrying a firearm may enter without express authorization."

genuinely curious about the worms in this guy’s brains. seriously beginning to wonder if he is entertaining election denialism.

I had no idea that the Faroe Islands are largely connected by tunnels. www.cnn.com/travel/faroe...

32% of Democrats like political leaders who identify as democratic socialists. 56% of Democrats say they neither like nor dislike democratic socialists, who have won a number of recent Democratic primaries in D.C., New York and Colorado. #DemocraticSocialism #USPolitics #USDemocrats

American factory construction continued declining in official data released today as CHIPS Act projects finish, IRA projects get cancelled, and tariffs weigh on nearly all industries Total US factory construction is down 30% from its 2024 highs and 20% over the last year alone

Hang on and you can outlive this monster

Japanese delegation, when meeting with the delegation of Ukraine in Tokyo, wore Ukrainian vyshyvankas as a gesture of respect and solidarity.

Why can’t it be that Trump is always wrong? Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t, but surely it’s possible. This is our epistemic crisis in a nutshell: a large, powerful right-wing political movement demanding we scrap true-or-false and elevate their feelings, putting lies they like above facts and law.

He doesn't need to hide it because everyone & every institution in American politics & society has completely normalized it. A total collapse of every norm, law, & institution in the country.

The federal government was a party in 21 of the 56 merits cases #SCOTUS decided this term. All three Democratic appointees sided with the government in five of those 21 cases, and Justices Kagan and Sotomayor sided with the government in a sixth.

🔦🔦Instead of looking into potential corruption w receipts on Roberts & showing us if the so called 'umpire' is indeed 'neutral', the DC Bar is sidestepping with a "not our jurisdiction" excuse. Details & info on steps to take to keep this alive and hopefully get meaningful action on it👇👇

Why are the Trump administration's 250th celebrations so feeble? Because it's hard to celebrate the ideals of the Declaration of Independence if you don't believe in them www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

A Troubling Milestone: The Supreme Court now decides more cases using its shadow docket than it does on its merits docket, the first time ever that has been the case, a @propublica.org analysis found. @kbmorales.bsky.social

christ's fucking blood

There’s no getting back to a sensible campaign finance system so long as the current Supreme Court remains in control. slate.trib.al/ucpJTT0

New from me: Welcome to the era of Slaughter. Things are so degraded that we are unsurprised when the Supreme Court drops a 90 year old precedent and overturns legislation to at the behest of a President who denies democratic outcomes. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/welcome-to...

Fucking Christ.

it would be a huge political gift to susan collins in particular, who would get a free shot to bolster her Maverick credentials by casting a meaningless vote against the SCOTUS nominee

A majority leader Schumer would also expend all of his political capital not to expand the court if it meant a few of his members were uncomfortable.
