This line of argument about AI suggests we're all a bunch of Mickeys, deciding whether to enlist an army of magic brooms to do our work for us. They might save us some time! But they're just as likely to create orders of magnitude more work by screwing it up.

...but enough about the US WBC team!

What on earth is her theory of why Dems will support her? It's not like she quit over matters of conscience--she's famous for doing Trump's dirty work so hard and for so long that she was simply too tired to keep doing it!

I was going to post something about how any other president would have been made to pay for uttering shit like this, but he won’t And then I decided, no, he will. I will bring this up to at every opportunity, to every shitheel Trump voter in existence, until he’s gone

Gosh, the things you find out about a person *after* you vote to confirm them to a cabinet post.

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

Schumer is to the right of Laura Ingraham and Chip Roy on ICE now. bsky.app/profile/ther...

Even Newsmax is concerned now.

"This is a direct and profound violation of the Fourth Amendment ... The thought that ICE wants to break down doors without a search warrant is profoundly un-American, and has been un-American since the Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791." www.mediamatters.org/newsmax/news...

"Terrible things are happening outside ... poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared." — Anne Frank (Jan 13, 1943)

What's so hilariously stupid about Jain's statement is, if someone takes controversial stands and still manages to win (this isn't moneyball, WAR doesn't matter), that makes them a good politician. They're maximizing the utility of their office, not their electoral success.

I am convinced that a West Wing reboot would make tons of money

Woke up with the sun rising already! Standard Time rules.

The crowd did not disperse, an instead started playing Tubthumping by Chumbawamba — I get knocked down, but I get up again.

This quote should be central to Dems' messaging. Even if Bessent doesn't think he means this, Republicans are punishing, and threatening to continue to punish, Americans until we accept the new monarchy.

So the official conservative stance is an agency cannot rule make (EPA), that’s the area of Congress, but it can do whatever it wants with funds allocated to specific policy areas by Congress? Makes total sense

MEGA. What a show. Oasis was incredible, so glad I got a chance to see them.

film flubs: in the movie spartacus (1960), several different characters identify themselves as spartacus. this scene was mistakenly left in the final cut of the film

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social California, too, needs to step up to protect its residents from the ongoing COVID resurgence.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

6-3 or 5-4, though?

They got to Powell. He is now willing to allow inflation to run. The Argentina parallels are so precise it’s downright eerie.

The White House posted an insane video of the police arresting the sandwich guy in a safe and wealthy neighborhood.

My kid's friend at camp (whom he's known for all of three days) gave him some Pokemon cards today, and, uh, these look expensive! Anyone have any idea if we should be returning these to the kid's parents?

FEMA didn’t answer thousands of calls from flood survivors, documents show; agency struggled because call center contracts weren’t extended www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/c... via @nytimes.com

My "I'm not a henchman" opening statement seems to be raising a lot of questions answered by my opening statement.

Also @theonion.com ran an ad inside Sunday’s nyt

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

It's a huge mistake to open up space for Trump like this, as if there's an "explanation" that makes this okay. There can be no suggestion of propriety, Dems need to be maximally confrontational. This isn't something the American people want. This is something that will fracture Trump's coalition.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

Outrageous for this judge to credit the administration's shifting, as hoc justifications for detaining Khalil. The administration offered a new justification by letter *today*, and the court declares that Khalil has not met his burden to show that it is unlawful. Truly Kafkaesque.

Judge Farbiarz DECLINES to order release of Mahmoud Kahlil. Says he'll have to try to ask an immigration judge to grant him bail.

I am as big a sucker as anyone for the fine-grained legal analysis, but I do sometimes worry it distracts us a little from the big, dumb, obvious points. This is appalling & precisely what the Framers were terrified of. Whether it’s technically legal if you squint right doesn’t change that.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.
