Letz go even bigger and better,,, ALL Female US Olympians and Paralympian medalists are invited out to celebrate in Viva Las Vegas for the SHE GOT GAME Weekend ,,, Hit a guy up and LETZ GOOO

The big difference between the US and Brazilian/Korean case isn't that voters care less about democracy. It's that American elites basically did not care about it after two weeks

It’s both funny and cosmically correct that the U.S. men’s hockey chodes will have to sit through 2+ hours of rambling from their addled little king while the U.S. Women’s team gets to skip the speech and party with Flavor Flav in Vegas

A bit unseemly that these judges are racing for the door now to ensure that Trump can replace them while Republicans hold the Senate. Though this kind of political calculus is inevitable when we give judges life tenure. It does seem to point growing concern that Republicans will lose the Senate...

There's no reason at all to watch the *state of the union* tomorrow unless it's your job to do so.

if you read nothing else from rodger sherman in your entire life please read these paragraphs from the end of his newsletter, possibly the most important paragraphs anyone has ever written about Team USA

How Conservatives Gave Themselves Permission to Go MAGA Ten years ago, leading conservatives came out “Against Trump” – but soon let their disdain for “the Left” override all else. It is the story of Modern Conservatism in a nutshell. Some thoughts from my new piece: 🧵

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

In the video of Trump talking to the US men's hockey team, when he says "I must tell you, we're going to have to bring the women's team, you do know that" as a joke about how annoying it is to have women around, the most painful part for me, are all the hockey players laughing. Actually laughing.

The trajectory of the men’s hockey team over a blistering 12 hours

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

It's so cool that the fbi is basically the make a wish foundation for one podcaster

USA? USA? USA?

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIXED FEELINGS?

Okay NOW when do they kiss

We can afford to lift the financial burden of child care off the shoulders of parents. We can afford to unburden young people from student loan debt. Here’s where that money is going instead.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

George Wallace in 1962: "I started off talking about schools and highways and prisons and taxes and I couldn't make them listen. Then I began talking about n**rs and they stomped the floor." Donald Trump in 2023⬇️

We should try electing some kind of deliberative body that makes decisions about levying taxes.

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

They're having trouble getting jurors in one of the cases against Elon Musk because "so many people hate him so much" www.law360.com/articles/244...

But placing him above the law by granting immunity and letting him wiggle out of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is totally cool.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

good news everyone, supreme court justices are beholden to their corporate benefactors over their fascist overlords

Clarence Thomas should relocate to Saudi Arabia. He really seems to live in a country with a king and where women have minimal legal rights.

Obviously the correct result (concerning there were 3 dissents), but it's amazing how the Court comes to the legally correct result when it affects their pocketbooks (see also, Trump and the Fed) and not so when it shreds Constitutional rights that may not affect the justices directly.

In addition to being absolutely brilliant, amazing & charming in her own right, we all know she was raised by a single dad w/4 siblings and that he came to the US bc of persecution bc of his participation in the ‘89 Tiananmen democracy uprising, right?

*TRUMP’S GLOBAL TARIFFS STRUCK DOWN BY US SUPREME COURT

a lot of you are probably too young to remember this but there was a time when the married dhs secretary using taxpayer money for a custom built fuck palace in the sky for her to bang coworkers wouldve been a big deal

“A federal agent fired shots through the driver’s side window”. Sound familiar? That’s exactly how Renee Nicole Good was killed. This 23 year old lost his life and ICE’s involvement was covered up for a year. They’re killing people and hiding the evidence.

first they came for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and I said nothing, but i did laugh quite a lot

This really is a great picture:

Les Wexner's attorney during the House Oversight Committee deposition on Epstein: "I will fucking kill you if you answer another question with more than five words."

I have really come to believe that we'd be in a much better place right now if we had put Nixon away in a dingy cell for the rest of his natural life, instead of the slap on the wrist for being naughty that he actually received.

The next president should just immediately seize Trump's assets to the dollar value of all of these corrupt emoluments on the grounds that because emoluments are unconstitutional, the money was never Trump's in the first place. Let him try to get them back in the civil asset forfeiture process.

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results" and i was like. oh!

we couldn't use government funds to buy coffee (like, folgers ground coffee) when i worked on a CDC outbreak emergency response

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

The rise of the far right is not a problem unique to the US. Our elite impunity problem, however, seems to be on an order of magnitude worse than a lot of our peers.

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.
