Welp the silly season of wildfires has begun a bit early for my tastes. 3000 acres of brush steppe gone in a few hours. The firefighters and aerial support is always breathtaking to behold. Thank you for your skills and dedication to our communities. Not having a real winter was a sure setup.

As my grandma would say, better he should sleep.

Sometimes we have to laugh to keep from crying.

"He's probably a professional. In some circles he has a pretty good reputation." says the stupidest man on earth.

John Bolton seems familiar to me somehow.

John Bolton made the classic error of not keeping those classified documents in the shitter at his golf resort

John Bolton reaches plea deal, pleads guilty to mishandling classified docs. Meanwhile, the lifelong criminal who stole all of these classified docs is sitting in the Oval Office.

Bari Weiss and the rest of MAGA never wanted to end “cancel culture.” They wanted to control it.

The Murder of 60 Minutes & the Death of Corporate Media Billionaire supporters of Trump and Netanyahu are gobbling up US media, silencing critics, & promoting propaganda in the service of a right-wing fascist movement that will eventually come for us all. thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-murder...

TRUMP: Be quiet. You should be ashamed of yourself. You used to be a conservative from Alabama. KAITLAN COLLINS: I'm still from Alabama.

While Americans struggle with high gas and grocery prices and the war with Iran remains unsettled Miranda Devine and President Trump talked about Joe Biden, Jill Biden, Hunter Biden's laptop and Barack Obama. This aired today on June 3, 2026.

This now applies to the internet. Actually visiting a website and browsing the pages instead of reading Google AI search results is the new going out for an envelope.

It's fun to daydream about places you will never see.

People need to stop whining about Elon Musk's mission to do a Mars fly-by. This is the advancement of science and exploration. In fact, it's so important that we should send our best people. Every billionaire should be sent on a Mars mission. Right now. You know, for the science.

After 11 years of excellence, Stephen Colbert’s show is officially ending tonight because a fragile criminal tyrant censored him for speaking truths and telling jokes, pure fascism. Fuck orange felon. Fuck MAGA. Fuck CBS.

The fact that Thomas Massie is fighting for his political life in a Republican primary because he wants pedophiles to face justice is not a good look for the Republican party.

This November, Texas voters will show the country that they're exhausted from all this corruption, and they'll vote to send James Talarico to the U.S. Senate! Let's fucking go, Texas! #VoteBlue2026

Over 300 detainees at Delaney Hall signed an S.O.S. letter about the horrid conditions they are facing: rotten food, lack of medical attention, and so much more. Yesterday we went to inspect Delaney and that letter is correct. The solution is closing Delaney and abolishing ICE.

I want to thank Donald Trump for ensuring James Talarico will be the first Texas Democrat elected statewide in decades. Very generous of you to endorse Paxton. Much appreciated. Can’t thank you enough.

He wants the ballroom for vanity (and because he enjoys breaking things), but his core interest is a bunker from which he cannot be dislodged in January 2029 without inflicting substantial casualties on government forces that continue to honor their oath to the U.S. Constitution.

California friends, if you haven’t voted, I urge you to watch Jasmine Crockett’s endorsement of Xavier Becerra. It’s everything. And check back later. I was able to ask both Becerra and Crockett additional questions that I think matter. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @xavierbecerra.bsky.social

The vice president of the United States is just standing up here saying people should feel sorry for domestic terrorists who were given free and fair trials and were then convicted in a court of law. Absolutely despicable.

Fascist republicans voted to give $1B for orange felon’s tacky trashy dictator worship ballroom. Yet they refuse to vote for universal healthcare, tackling homelessness, preventing child hunger, helping impoverished veterans, stopping hospital closures, elderly care, nothing.

So in case anybody’s counting, today Donald Trump called not one, but two female reporters “stupid.” He is going to continue to do this. He’s going to start calling them far worse. Because nobody fucking stops him.

Yeah, no. This is just blatantly racist. Inexcusable. You should not be serving in Congress if you think this is acceptable. Period.

BlueSky might be a left wing echo chamber but at least all 280,000 of my followers over there have a chance to see my tweets. @X is just Elon's little play thing where he posts cryptofascist frat boy drivel to his army of incels. Too bad the incels are finally turning on Trump.

The new Supreme Court case about mifepristone is about more than just one abortion drug. It’s about whether conservatives can enforce a nationwide ban and we need to all be aware of the details. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Those of us in eastern WA are NOT a monolith. Unfortunately it’s predominant and it has consequences.

Rural Washington is, mostly, deep red country. Was astonished to find this along the highway outside Elma.

In Opinion After the Virginia Supreme Court overturned a state redistricting vote, “the correct response is to fight back in the name of the people, who made their choice in a free and fair contest,” Jamelle Bouie writes. “Democrats must meet the moment. Or move over for people who will.”

Cannot be overstated how much of the destruction of our country and democracy is simply to allow Trump and his billionaire pals to loot us.

Donald Trump and his massively incompetent Administration of Obsequious Toadies. Worshiped only by the Republican MAGA Cult of the Perpetually Stupid. Decent Americans say No Más.

When you keep mixing up your insects, people aren’t going to believe you passed your dementia test.

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

“It’s an absurd situation. They’re just straight-up lying about not knowing Memphis is majority Black… They know exactly what they’re doing.” Kanew on the racist lie at the core of the Republican push to strip Memphis of representation.
