The young voters who elected Mayor Mamdani have lagged way behind in early voting counts this month. If you want to do the mayor a solid and replace the status quo in Congress with new progressive energy, Election Day is tomorrow from 6a-9p. Check your poll site at vote.nyc and remind your friends.

So nothing happens to the Trump donor who got $15 million in tax dollars to wreck the reflecting pond, but if a taxpayer touches a piece of the floating debris from the disaster scene they get 10 years in prison. Trump’s dystopian America.

it was literature pub quiz night and our team name "flowers for algae gone" didn't get a single laugh, this isn't the country i grew up in

I thought this was on Point….

Shout out to the Scots showing the lovely Americans what alcohol, travel insurance, and socialised health care waiting at home can achieve. "Big historical horsecunt was pure beggin' for a conin'", noted one onlooker.

No one is surprised.

I will never understand this

Well that should get the red state's attention

Happy Father's Day 🖤

UK attorney general Richard Herner has deleted his X account, and is now posting on Bluesky.

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS: Ten Horrific New Revelations About Trump’s Surrender to Iran at Versailles If you think you know how bad things are, or how bad they are about to get, you do not. This will be a summer and fall of fire and mass death; the Versailles Surrender has only forestalled it a few days.

@deadder.bsky.social Michael always draws my thoughts. It's magic.

Saturday sun is up. Coffee is made. And the manatees and frolicking. Good Morning, America! We’ll stand by you. #RadioFreeAmerica youtu.be/Us-TVg40ExM?...

Masterful

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.       Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals…

Sometimes, being on social media is worth it. What an absolute gem.

Juneteenth marks the celebration of America's second independence day. Like the people in this photo—Texans celebrating Juneteenth in 1900—we know that progress hasn't made our union perfect. But we can recommit to reaching toward that more perfect union together. Happy Juneteenth.

"So ... so I said ... why not sign your treaty here, at Versailles?"

KABAS:There was some chatter online that this is all just like,a big real estate laundering scheme by Trump and allies. WRISTON: I think that there are aspects of that that are absolutely 100% true.I wouldn't say that it necessarily factors into all of them, but there are some very suspicious ties.

"Hey, you guys finish that reflecting pool?" "Sure did boss, and we did it REAL fuckin green, just like you asked 😉" "what"

None of this makes any sense, except as desperate rationalizations from a man who cannot face facts and admit defeat. On the most important questions of war and peace, the president of the United States seems to be losing his grip on reality itself. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

We can do better.

GOP Monetary Policy in a nutshell.

Well, now.

Labour's Andy Burnham, the current mayor of Greater Manchester, has won a special election for a seat in Parliament that puts him in a position to challenge embattled Prime Minister Keir Starmer for leadership of the country. n.pr/4el2RjE

I commented.

[O]ptimism is a political act…It is a reminder that politics is the art of the possible…People usually say this about the decisions a political leader makes. But it also applies to the way that electorates can guide those leaders.” Ian Dunt today on UK politics. Maybe a lesson in it for us too?

Also don’t let them use the ‘we won the war but lost the peace’ excuse. You lost the war. You could not militarily change Iran’s regime or open the strait or take the uranium from Isfahan and you set those three military goals

"Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) lashed out at Maine Senate Democratic nominee Graham Platner on Friday, bashing his multiple scandals and declaring that “he’s not even a Democrat.”

‘Well, GOP, you're facing a tough midterm election environment with an unpopular president, costs still rising, a war no one wants, and a new corruption scandal damn near every day. How are you going to turn it around?’ Wisconsin Republican: we're going after the Green Bay Packers

Iran withdraws from the 60 day negotiation due to overnight attacks on Lebanon by Israel.

Well, that didn't take long.

"“I have been going to Reformed Christian conferences of varying sizes for 33 years, and I have never been to one that was selling pro-Third Reich, Pro-Nazi books,” noted one pastor on X."

I will depend on the Democratic candidates to use this as a central campaign issue.

Hey, a little off the specific topic of antisemitism, but last week a Congressional candidate in my area bravely told X to go to heck and left the platform. I’m hoping she can get a lot more followers here. @dittmerforcongress.bsky.social #SC05

You know what to do.

Tourists are flocking to take photos of the new resident of Trump's reflecting pool. /s

They didn’t cut waste. They cut the people standing between us and outbreaks like this one. This is not government efficiency. This is what happens when you tear down the systems that protect this country and gamble that nothing will go wrong.

"When you get defeated strategically this comprehensively, you don't get a good deal." Sums it up perfectly for me.
