What fantasy world is Mark Cuban living in that he doesn't know this is already the situation.

Great list of indie media outlets -- a subscription is a thoughtful gift!

Where’s the CBS News town hall focused on the Democrats assassinated in Minnesota?

So... Companies big enough to afford lawyers will sue, they'll get money back, post record profits, pay bonuses to their c-suites, and consumers will get... f*cked?

A college student complaining about a grade on a paper is not national news. Not even close. The details have minimal import outside the class itself. Well-funded political activists targeting profs and TAs—in this case because they're trans—with the help of elected state officials? National issue.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

$1.6bln: The amount of his fraud scheme 7: Years of his sentence 10,000: Victims of his fraud 1,000: Letters from victims to the court 13: Days he served 1: Pardon from Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/u...

A lawyer I know is trying to help an abuse victim client relocate to get away from their abusive ex. They have an infant child and they're really struggling due to SNAP being cut. Would be really cool if you're in a position to help a stranger out.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been disliked by the left for years and years and had never had to fear for her life. She's been disliked by the right for 1 day and now has to hire security.

It's so interesting to me that he thinks regular people will believe him. We go to the stores, we see the prices. It's indicative of someone who has always been rich, who has never shopped for groceries, that he thinks we will believe him instead of our lighter-than-ever wallets.

"This could take down Democrats, too." I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office. Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

Folks, the reporting is that Trump is making PERSONAL CALLS to Mace, MTG and others about the discharge petition. Would you be doing this if you had nothing to hide? Let's please all be serious here.

"I don't want to hear about affordability."   Says the president who promised to lower costs on Day 1.   60% of households are unable to afford the basics — and he just doesn’t care.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Fucking Dodgers

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., on the ongoing shutdown impasse between Rs and Ds: “They've been predicting we would fold, and we’ve been predicting they would find a backbone.”

I really, truly hope that over the next week the Dems get their shit together, all get on the same page, and just keep repeating that American families are starving to protect the Epstein client list. Over, and over, and over again. Every interview, every broadcast. Starving people to protect pedos.

But Hunter Biden.

This thug move by Trump has nothing to do with election integrity & everything to do with election intimidation. They’ll no doubt focus their bullying in Democratic areas. We will pass Prop 50 despite these tactics.

We should not be surprised that violent criminals who ultimately faced no consequences are continuing to be violent criminals.

The Inspector General system is basically broken now. Most IGs have been fired, most positions remain vacant. Those who remain or would take the job pose no risk to holding the regime accountable. Congress added more barriers to Trump firing IGs after his first term. He just ignored them.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts bsky.app/profile/did:...

The U.S. Marine Corps celebration will include a live-fire “Amphibious Capabilities Demonstration” in which missiles fired from a warship stationed off the coast of California onto parts of Camp Pendleton will destroy the Epstein files.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Hey Californians -- #YesOn50

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Here is the image with alt text

With government funding set to expire Tuesday, Speaker Johnson refuses to bring the House back. He knows seating Adelita Grijalva, just elected in Arizona, would trigger a vote on the Epstein Files. Putting politics ahead of governing is reckless and wrong.

The Department of Justice denies selective prosecution of James Comey, saying they would prosecute any enemy of President Trump.

Trump is absolutely cratering in new Quinnipiac poll: Overall approval: 38-54 Approval on economy: 39-56 Approval on trade: 39-54 On National Guard into cities: 42-55 On immigration, his "best" issue: 41-55 Trump is weak, unpopular, and failing. Treat him that way:

This is probably the best description of Trump I've ever heard.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

😕 💵

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

I wonder if this means she's willing to let go of the Second Amendment?

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

It’s my birthday! 🎉 I have a @DonorsChoose project for Dry Erase world maps for my class. Today, when you put in the code birthday, every $ gets matched! Can anyone help or share please? www.donorschoose.org/project/mapp... @burrowingowl.bsky.social @authorsmiller.bsky.social #edusky #teacher

It’s almost like letting young white men marinate their brains in an algorithm-driven toxic stew of nihilistic hate 24/7 and giving them ready access to guns is a bad idea

It really is a grim ritual that we have so many acts of violence that evolve into another grim ritual of everyone waiting to see what team the maniac played for, and half the time that has already been decided by the grim ritual of everyone speculating before anyone has any clue about it

No elected official Democratic party will be as cruel about Kirk's death as Mike Lee was about the death of Melissa Hortman. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/06/17/s...
