This is exactly why trump is filling his diaper about Georgia and the midterms. Strap the fuck in. It's gonna be even crazier than I expected. He's gonna pull on every lever possible and part of the whole "fraud" talk was so he can send Feds to the polls.

Damn

This is great to see! 👍

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply

Congress has always had the power to shape the federal court system, and as part of that, the number of SCOTUS justices has expanded and even shrunk before. The idea that the current setup is not only permanent but also somehow vital to our existence is just incredibly stupid.

also: if judicial review was so important to the united states constitution i think maybe they should've mentioned it somewhere in the document?

Mullin says that election officials in states that don’t cooperate with the Trump administration may face jail time

OH MY FUCK THEY ACTUALLY DID THAT

Congrats we just made it impossible to come here for a PhD www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/16/m...

youre welcome

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

I knew WIRED had great sourcing but I didn't know they could talk to people in Hell who recently popped like a balloon.

How pathetic is Sen. Thom Tillis? Tillis: Because of my deep respect for the survivors, I won’t vote for Blanche unless he meets with them. The survivors: Well, we had a meeting and Blanche was totally unhelpful, dismissive, and disrespectful, Tillis: I’m good.

Tim Pool was paid by a Russian front to create content. This is definitely the dumbest timeline…

AP: “A history of terrifying & violent behavior… attacked multiple women… threw boiling water at his ex wife while she was holding her child…” The MAINE killer ICE agent is more proof ICE is hiring the worst of the worst and giving them badges & guns. apnews.com/article/ice-...

to hear Trump tell it, American elections were completely corrupted while he was president and he was helpless to stop it, then they were cleaned up by Biden ahead of Trump's victory in 2024, and now that Trump is president again they are once again becoming third world caliber

Cut rate Goebbels conjures an antifa of *checks notes* deformed mannerisms.

It's important to step back for a moment to realize that the duly elected President of the United States is doing a prime time White House address claiming that his country has the most corrupt election system in the world

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky on meeting with Blanche:   "Todd Blanche treated the meeting as a mere 'check-the-box' exercise intended to secure votes for his confirmation. He danced around his wording, repeatedly interrupted us and could not commit to anything that would demonstrate good faith."

Warnock: "Look at this from a common sense perspective. I won two elections -- in '21 and '22. Our congressional delegation is majority Republican, so are you saying that on the same ballots that elected my R colleagues, their ballots are legit and the ballots that elected Ossoff & myself are not?"

i’ve been really stressed about the air quality but i just heard the news say that breathing this air all day would be the equivalent of smoking seven cigarettes and a deep calm washed over me

I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.

I cannot stop laughing at this. They were so close to cracking lmao #InfoWars #MAJA

Re: cyclospora, Taco Bell having ethics and going "you know what, it's always the fucking lettuce, why don't we just pull that until we know what's going on" resulting in all the outlets going "LETTUCE SOLD AT TACO BELL LINKED TO EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA" is a fantastic way to discourage ethics in future.

Taco Bell being more responsible than the Government was actually on my bingo card.

"parasite outbreak blamed on taco bell because they're the only company reporting it" feels very "1918 flu blamed on Spain because they're the only country reporting it"

This speech is quite literally an impeachable offense. The President is trying to undermine faith in US elections and to delegitimize the elections of public officials.

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."

I like that Kimball thought looking like a baby eating freak would be a good look for a documentary.

GUYS

It's not that I think they have a super-secret plan to overturn the elections and seize power, but you're watching an entire political party, from top to bottom, meme itself into convincing itself that its opponents are inherently illegitimate, and that road doesn't go anywhere good.

i’m a big fan of finding instances of what i’m calling “chambermaxxing”

Let’s be really clear about this lettuce situation: it’s not just the destruction of public health tracking, it’s also years and years of ending regulations that would have prevented conditions causing outbreaks in the first place, combined with climate change that makes them more likely to happen.

This is nuts: "Trump Media has unveiled a paid-for, licensed data feed that will give banks ​& trading firms 'the fastest' access to posts from influential Truth Social ‌accounts Trump’s posts on the platform regularly move markets. High speed access to these could be very valuable to traders"

Right-wing media amping up the BS.

This is the future of climate change denial as it becomes more difficult to ignore, it'll just be endless scapegoating

When Democrats fought to extend the Florida recount in 2000, Republicans blanketed the airwaves with this stuff, even printing up Sore/Loserman signs that mimicked the Gore/Lieberman campaign. It was very effective! Trump *is* a sore loser and he *is* throwing a sad tantrum. Call it out like that!

I guess it's something the judge called it out, but fake citations routinely get lawyers sanctioned and that should have happened here. The standard of conduct for DOJ lawyers should be *higher* than for private attorneys, not lower.

Unearthed records just revealed that Ken Paxton owns 15 homes on a government salary. This includes luxury real estate in Hawaii, Utah, and Florida.

They know they did it and they are responsible. Which is why they will continue to stonewall this. Good for the reporter to keep asking about it and not let this go, because they are counting on people just moving on.

Like most people, I always thought it would be neat if we had a more exciting food supply

“Do people enjoy the hospital food when they are hospitalized for exploding diarrhea because you dismantled surveillance programs?”

So far this year we've had: the warmest winter on record in the mountain west, a record-shattering heat wave in Europe, once in a thousand year rainfall and flooding texas and forest fire smoke blanketing the mid west and the north east. Feels like something's going on with the climate!

Oyer: "2 days after Blanche was confirmed as deputy AG, he fired me from my position as DOJ's career pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a favor for a friend of the president, and it cost me my job. Mr Blanche's office had asked me to restore the gun rights of a convicted domestic abuser..."

This isn’t vandalism, it’s art – and reminds me I must watch They Live again
