This is belied by the fact that AOC has been a very good Democratic soldier and Mamdani has a more cordial working relationship with NY's moderate Democratic governor than any NYC mayor in recent memory.

ngl "mandatory abortions for all tourists" is not exactly what i expected for a right-wing response to this SCOTUS decision

I will once again remind folks that a very sizable chunk of what looks like Congress not doing anything to push back against the president is in fact a consequence of the Court disabling/destroying all the ways Congress has tried to push back.

Not the main point, obviously, but I am struck that the first thing the guy denounces him for is "aligning with YIMBYs."

tacky and fashy

It’s like the universe from The Man in The High Castle is bleeding into ours. We can afford tacky gold baubles for this dud of a dud’s vanity but we can’t get affordable housing or medical care. The farce that is this administration continues unabated.

There it is

the first war that's only ever fought from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening

Today is a good day to remember that authoritarianism is not inevitable, overthrowing fascists is possible, and good things can still happen. www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

The great American state fair being stupid Trump bullshit does legit make me sad, if I’m being honest. A lot of the 250 stuff does. This could have been a really cool and special thing and literally any normal president would have pulled it off.

obviously not the first person to make this observation but the "move along, citizen" shit for regular DC residents is especially galling in context of the pardons for the rioters who broke into the fucking capitol

Anthony Fauci should sue Peter Navarro for defamation. I’m not saying this hyperbolically, I mean it.

absolutely. i think that there should be more of these big, federally organized civic activities. an annual fair where each state showcases their best food and fare is actually a great idea.

Does he understand that passports are given to Americans who go to other countries, not to people visiting the US?

How did they not even get one of the vendors with the breakdown rollercoasters onboard. Not one funnel cake seller? Nobody doing outrageous fried things? Were they not even TRYING?

This is nuts👇

Excellent idea. Maybe the NYT can divert one of the dozen reporters on its Ohio Rural Diner beat to look into this?

Civil suits. Civil suits are the only thing that has consistently worked against these bastards. From Jones to Giulliani to Trump himself, civil suits are the most functional route to something like justice. If they ever hand you standing and cause, sue the bastards.

Meanwhile, here’s how Ohio’s governor, a Republican, responded to today’s decision.

You know who else has never assimilated? Everyone who keeps flying that fucking Confederate flag.

can you imagine how mad Fox News would have gotten over Sacco and Vanzetti

Samuel Alito's dad was born in Calabria, Italy in 1914, which was a completely failed state shithole at the time. You either spent your life farming dirt or got killed at 16 working for an Ndrangheta underboss. Now his son spends all day panicking about uncivilized Haitians.

This Decision Is a Slap in the Face to Immigrants Who Followed the Law www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/o...

good to see this. Musk is clearly getting visibly angry at the rising awareness of how many hundreds of thousands of people his DOGE wilding spree has already killed, millions more if this stays in place into the future. Everyone can participate in spreading the word about all the blood on his hands

A right without a remedy for its violation is no right at all. SCOTUS’s 6-3 majority holding in Landor v. Louisiana is another direct arrogation of congressional authority and separation of powers by justices who purport to uphold religious freedom. apnews.com/article/supr...

this is what is insane abt this case and these sentences. this isn't a sandwich throw. real violence happened here. a cop got shot. but by framing the protest as a conspiracy people who literally were uninvolved in the violence got de facto life sentences

He continues to get away with this because literally every single person who would otherwise step in is instead profiting from it. Including the media.

Using criminal charges to scapegoat innocent people for the regime’s mistakes is about as authoritarian as it gets. www.reuters.com/world/us/peo...

If Trump went within eyeshot of the Reflecting Pool, there must be media pool notice of that fact and photographic evidence of it, right? Right?

Real peoples lives are being destroyed as we’re all forced to live in the alternate reality of a decaying pedophilic narcissist…

Why are we investigating whether Tulsi was controlled by a cult AFTER she's done DNI-ing, when it was pretty clear she was controlled by a cult before she was confirmed?

The Republican Party that tied Dukakis to Willie Horton, called Clinton a draft-dodging traitor, and mocked Kerry's military service with swift-boat lies and Purple Heart band-aid stickers was horrified -- horrified! -- to see Obama campaigning like a normal politician.

Thread.

G) I honestly don't know why Iran didn't ask for ponies, they basically got everything else.

Both Hillary Clinton and Marco Rubio seem to be describing Netanyahu using the same tactic 14 years apart. The difference is, it seems, the same tactic worked this time.

Many of the New York Times' political reporters think they are actually movie critics.

I’m around the same age as RFK Jr. I went to the same school some of his cousins, including JFK Jr, went to. I’m here to tell you, not one kid was bringing guns to St. David’s on the Upper East Side in 1969. He is out of his fucking mind.

The thing is you gotta be obsessed with the Nazi regime to even reach for a Bonhoeffer reference here and you gotta be an incredibly twisted soul to think Bonhoeffer’s nonviolent heroism is the tragedy we can’t repeat in that story.

If you don't want to vote, you don't have to.

From over a year ago.

I think during the Knicks/Cavs series the Cavs, when it was 3-0, the Cavs coach said they were ahead 2-1 on analytics. This is like MAGA now on the Iran War.

In 1991 White House Chief of Staff John Sununu improperly spent $1.4 million (inflation adjusted) on personal travel. It was a top of the news every night for more than a month & Sununu had to resign. In the second Trump Administration $1.4 million of graft is a rounding error.

As oil literally rains down in Russia, a reminder that no military can reasonably or effectively strike millions of solar panels across thousands of miles. That’s actual energy security…

The juxtaposition of the Knicks win/celebration and what’s happening in DC couldn’t be more distinct. Diversity, community, spontaneity, populism vs. tax dollars spent on Trump’s allies, friends and business partners.

It’s worth mentioning in every news story that this deal is substantially worse for the US, and far more lucrative for Iran, than the Obama nuclear deal Trump blew up almost a decade ago.

Conservatives used to remind us every 20 minutes that Reagan never took off his jacket in the Oval Office because he had so much reverence for the White House.

It's honestly a little sad how good the vibes COULD have been for the 250th, but there's nothing Republicans won't ruin.

Congrats to the Knicks on underlining the point that Trump can't fuck things up forever
