This is the same guy who wanted to “wipe Israel off the map.” Then Israel and the U.S. blew up his house and injured him and he no longer trusted their plan to install him as leader. You can’t make this shit up!

Donald Trump wants Darren Bailey as governor. That's all you need to know.

Someone put a nickel in Armando Iannucci, his next movie is here

Original meaning:

The Deep Vellum Music & Literature Festival has its headliners! Join Hanif Abdurraqib, Jamila Woods, and so many other great artists this July 10th-12th in beautiful Dallas. Tickets available now: www.deepvellum.org/festival

And this is why I am boycotting Vaunnie's Mustardayonnaise

IMO EV drivers should pay into the road maintenance pool but this is really stupid. A more equitable approach would be a per-wheel charge for all cars regardless of propulsion method.

The slush fund is impeachable, but paying Tina Peters from it is also impeachable. He shouldn't be impeached anyway, he should be barred from office for the insurrection. This is what happens when you don't enforce 14A Sec3.

"A German court in December 1926 awarded...the military leader of the Kapp putsch, back payment of his pension to cover the period when he was a rebel against the government and also the five years that he was a fugitive from justice." - William Shirer. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. p. 109

It's the underscore waiting to fill in the date that really does it for me.

Lots of folx are looking at the ballroom and the slush fund and the DHS goon squads and worrying about Jan 2029. I think you should be thinking about Jan 2027. This admin thought Bill The Butcher was the protagonist of Gangs of New York. We should expect shenanigans if they lose control of congress.

This may sound alarmist but I think Loder is right.

He saw an Alex Garland movie and got ideas™

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.

IMHO Paxton's weaknesses are very hard to capture in polling - he's just an execrable human being, in ways that repulse swing voters but titillate MAGA. His many crimes and indulgences are coded w/in the R ecosystem as "owning the libs," but are massive general election liabilities. 1/

Blanche could’ve just said, without even fully accepting the premise here, that if you’re a known child abuser you can’t have this money. The fact that he won’t say that is horrifying

A study in Nature Sustainability shows sea-level rise is already causing population retreat in coastal Louisiana and uses geological history and demographic data to argue that early, planned relocation can guide global climate adaptation. go.nature.com/4eHOh6q 🌍🌊🧪

Pete Hegseth, who killed a school full of children in an illegal war, is unlikely to feel wounded by the NY Times accusing him of committing a ”breach of decorum“ by politicking in Kentucky.

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

This is sensible management, and I think they are handling the job cuts responsibly, but I can't stop thinking about how much NPR capitulated to the goons who seek their destruction and how much more donation revenue they'd generate by being honest about the creeps rather than platforming them.

Roy Ayers performing "Chameleon" on "The Midnight Special" in 1977 -- alongside Herbie Hancock, George Benson, Harvey Mason, Jean-Luc Ponty, and more.

This, too, is impeachable. I think we should impeach the president.

Remember when the Supreme Court said a president lacked the power to forgive $20,000 of student debt for Pell Grant recipients and the White House just said "Oh, okay"

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

They killed millions abroad and took away your healthcare subsidies and SNAP benefits to give payouts to insurrectionists who'd rather foment a civil war than submit to constitutional rule-of-law.

The two-year total program cost of the "free diapers" program in California that loser right-wing pundits are crying about is $19.9 million. A similar nationwide program at an equivalent per capita cost would run about $170 million.

Small typo there, what you guys meant to write was "splitting their allegiances depending on whether they want to work for Silicon Valley or want to lead the progressive movement."

“They tell me how they have signed a voluntary deportation agreement months ago and are literally still being held at the detention center,” @replamonica.bsky.social said. “So this is all about money.” Private prisons are making fortunes from the suffering of our neighbors. They must be abolished.

Got sent up for a rare followspot call on FOH tower high up in the air with a harness and retractor. I do fine whiteknuckling the whole show, coming down is easier than I expect, and as the adrenaline wears off I find out I’m only on this job because of a case of mistaken identity lol.

Josh Gottheimer should be censured for what he said about Rashida Tlaib today, or at the very least condemned by party leadership, but he in all likelihood won't be.

Regardless of how close or far you are from one, no matter how involved you get or if it is the furthest thing from your mind: everyone needs a garden.

Every single show in this 25-year-old promo has either been recently revived or never stopped airing

KENNETH LONERGAN IS BACK

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

Schlitz was my favorite cheap beer back when I drank beer.

The old gods are dead.

He looks like Bob Odenkirk in costume as an art critic on Mr Show

Drowning Pool but he’s growling LET THE BODY KEEP THE SCORE

I love the idea of someone pissing on Homer's grave, especially given that we don't know for sure there even *was* a Homer.

A surprising amount of what made the USA a functional country was put into place during the very brief period where white southerners didn't have the ability to veto it

Will just reiterate that in the many years I covered Polis closely, he never showed particular interest in the topic of over-sentencing, nor in criminal justice reform generally. This decision would read a lot differently if Polis had any sort of record as an advocate for clemency.

this should end his career

To no surprise, Markwayne is moving forward with the plan of converting commercial warehouses to detention centers. No matter who is at the helm of DHS, their mandate has not changed.

Juniper Blessing should be alive today

While Mamdani's executive budget reversed cuts to NYC public libraries, it doesn't make good on his pledge to allocate 0.5% of city spending for library spending. He tells @katiehonan.bsky.social that he will make good on that promise at some point in his first mayoral term, though.
