Speaker Mike Johnson is delaying the swearing in of the new House Member because she’ll be the 218th vote to force the release of the Epstein Files. He pretends to be a good Christian man while protecting violent child rapists.

We have always made delightful little guys.

among the many things they don’t tell you about having kids is the amount of money you will shell out to buy various berries

I need to watch this on a loop.

Landed in Chicago 45 minutes ago and the man next to me on the Blue Line just ended his phone call with “ya, I gotta get home to give Butkus a steak” which is in the top 5 percent of Chicago sentences you can hear

These people are out of control. www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/i...

I keep thinking about how Gov Abbott had plenty of funds to fly and bus migrants all across the country but couldn't come up with a million for a flood warning system.

Fiona Hill: The United States is on a path toward full-on state repression.

The more I think about the USAID cuts the more I understand John Brown. What can you do when your country carries out a monstrous crime on a Biblical scale and so many don't care because of who the victims are and so many of those who do care treat it as just another issue instead of the only issue?

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

At this time of day on July 2, I’m drawn to think of the several thousand US troops spread out in an ever thinning line along Culp’s Hill, on the US right. All afternoon, units have been pulled from this position to bolster the left flank - Little Round Top, the Wheatfield, and Cemetery Ridge

Meredith has always been a G, but it's still exceptionally weird and very refreshing hearing from a tech exec who can see through all of this AI bullshit for what it is at its foundation: a backdoor surveillance tool.

The United States should not wage war against Iran. Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war. This is a horrific war of choice.

Just a reminder that Trump was going to announce his sanctions on Russia for not negotiating “in two weeks” about 3.5 weeks ago. Taco

How am I ever supposed to be friends with someone who voted for this?

It is extraordinarily weird watching him conveying a single, cohesive thought for more than five seconds here. It really does show you that, while his heart as always been several shades deeper than vantablack, there's something medically wrong with his brain at this point.

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

No Kings. In America, The People rule.

No Kings in America

It’s not illegal for a United States Senator to go to a public press conference and ask questions about your constituents safety. It's our job.

One day you’re young and fun then next thing you know you’re downloading an app that identifies what birds are nearby just by listening to them and man this app is awesome

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

once again I must tap my own sign

Only just become aware of this magnificent photo of Katharine Hepburn outside her house. I often feel like this.

I can’t believe the media covered up the fact that a clear mental incompetent was running the government while out of his mind on drugs, despite it being widely known in DC circles, to preserve their access to the White House. There should be huge recriminations for this.

While idioms such as "served on toast" and "serve someone on toast" date back to the mid-1800s, the simpler "toast" (as in "You're toast" or "We're toast") is first found in Ghostbusters (1984). Bill Murray ad-libbed "This chick is toast!" from a scripted line "I'm gonna turn this guy into toast."

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

This is a very consultant-brain type of thinking bc swing voters aren’t “centrists” by any meaningful sense of the world. Their most salient ideological characteristics are, like, a general disinterest in “the news” and a loose and absolutely incoherent set of political beliefs

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

How could you not be impressed by a bird in your yard? This dude can fly anywhere and it came here to hang out with you

Ahab really said a lot of fucked up cold shit to a whale that doesn't speak English

living through 2025 and having to wake up, go to work, handle responsibilities etc feels like this

Man I gotta say, knowing that there's nothing anyone can do to walk the President back from tanking the economy because he's got crank ideas about how trade works is really making it hard for me to do my little work tasks

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

Marco Rubio is going after people who are living here legally and peacefully, who are not a danger to America or our foreign policy interests. He has strayed so far from who we are as Americans. He’s an embarrassment to the country.

Here is a baby otter to make you feel better about everything.

Happy International Twin Cities Day! My favourite pairing will never not be the Scottish village of Dull being paired with Boring, Oregon. And in 2017 the duo of drab became the trinity of tedium when they were joined by Australia's Shire of Bland.

Doing some research for an article I will one day title "I ate a quesadilla every day for 20 years"
