Trump told you he’d run America like a business. He is. It’s called asset stripping. You go in, sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, & walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag. Venture capitalist politics. Cartoon by Jorge Gonzalez

When it inevitably comes out that McConnell hasn’t been conscious since his collapse on June 14, let’s all remember that the Senate Majority Leader and Whip said they’d talked to him the day after he got CPR and that he was “engaged” (both of them used that exact word!) and would be back soon.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

this countrys fetish for punishing those we decide are unworthy of help at the expense of all of us is so completely bat shit

the way it works is that if i say, "i'm a black american," sam alito thinks that is "dividing people up by race." but if someone says, "get that jigaboo out of my country," alito thinks, "looks like nothing to me"

Hennepin County sheriff conceals bodycam footage by calling officers ‘undercover’ even though they wear vests that say "sheriff," conduct traffic stops and sign criminal complaints with their names. My latest: minnesotareformer.com/2026/06/25/h...

After the tarp went up to try and stop the “Berlin Wall” moment, Cliff Owen of the AP got the iconic 📸 shot. 🇺🇸

We're so desperate for It To Happen we're out here rawdogging scaffolding

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

We identified 273 individuals with valid work permits who were arrested during Operation Metro Surge. That number is almost certainly an undercount.

It was SO GREAT that we got a live reunion so we could relive past moments with the cast and hear from people who left way too soon! You know, all the reasons we actually VOTED FOR a live Finale and Reunion! 😑 #Survivor50 #Survivor #SurvivorFinale #RHAP #WhyXLost

I feel like that doesn't even count as a reunion, we barely talked to anybody! 😭 #survivor50

It’s 2026, in Oklahoma has finally made child marriage illegal. Congratulations? Also WTF.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

After a trough of relatively less activity, that is fewer people calling me for help, I'm back up to 10 active habeas cases. I do not want to cause anyone undue alarm, but ICE has changed tactics and seems more likely to detain people when they go in for routine appointments with ICE.

now thats an anecdote with a punch, from Gillian Tett www.ft.com/content/c0ae...

The Trump administration rejected all four women farmers chosen by their peers to represent them in an industry group called the United Soybean Board earlier this year, a rare intervention by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that three of the women suspected was because of their gender.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

The Secretary of State attending a UFC fight while wartime diplomatic negotiations fail would generate an explosive, front-page, above-the-fold headline for any previous administration

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

US Attorney Jeanine Pirro: "What's gotta change is we have to lower the age of criminal responsibility ... I can't get my hands on these kids. They're not kids. I misspoke."

[further down thread] "Sponsoring a spouse costs US citizens up to $2,675 in fees alone, $675 to petition, $1,440 to adjust status, $560 for a work permit. The government is cashing those checks and then doing nothing. That's fraud not delay."

Calling all crop art fans! Two amazing blue ribbon winning local crop artists are auctioning 3 classes to raise money for mutual aid. (Filter to Art and Creativity.) One day left to bid, and current bids are $20 (classes usually are MUCH more). Please bid and share! givebutter.com/c/KYfAS7/auc...

Update: The end of Somali Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which was set to end March 17, has been temporarily paused by a federal court order. Somali TPS remains in effect for now, pending further court action.

So you…let him be in charge of protecting us from terrorism until he just quit?

Quite a few things have felt off to me about this war on Iran and one of them is that this would have been a weeklong story a few years ago and it won't rate at all now. There would have been chatter, columns, etc... about callousness and disregard etc... But now and with this guy, nothing.

About Jim Clyburn deciding to run again…

Never forget who Trump appointed to be the head of our domestic anti-terrorism people.com/trump-admin-...

RAJU: You'll concede this is war? MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We haven't declared war. They declared war on us RAJU: The president called it war and Secretary Hegseth called it war REPORTER: When you walked up just now, you called it war MULLIN: Okay. That was a misspoke.

This is who the Minnesota WILD GM wanted in the US Men's locker room to celebrate. Someone who is actively covering up the murders of 2 Minnesotans.

video from iceout.org earlier today at the whipple outside minneapolis shows a hennepin county sheriff’s deputy shoving the head of a protestor who was already tackled into the ground we need someone to challenge dawanna witt for sheriff. this brutality happening under her watch is unacceptable

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

Can't believe this photo now consists of two winners of The Traitors (though Rob actually worked for his win lol) #TheTraitorsUS #theTraitors

CHRIST this was a bitch to alt text (my phone camera is allergic to this font) but it was worth it so we could enjoy this scorching hot Catholic tea together they just flat out said the SCOTUS Catholics are going to hell. which we knew, but maybe they’ll hear it from the bishops!

This is truly some of the meanest shit I’ve ever heard of and I firmly believe the intended this to end with his death The Rohingya have already survived one genocide, one driven by lies spread on Facebook. The horror show is now continuing here.

They can’t even legally drive to the DMV to get the license that will misgender them by law because the statute invalidating their licenses went into immediate effect.

All secondhand books have histories. Sometimes you find out their stories, and those stories can bring even the most innocuous book an incredible emotional weight.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

Israel is responsible for two in three journalist killings across the globe in 2024 and 2025. The Israeli military has committed more targeted killings of journalists than any other government’s military since CPJ began documentation in 1992. Read more in CPJ’s #2025KilledReport: cpj.org?p=553549

So sad to be missing #triviaweekend this year because I've finally managed to get hit by Covid 😭 Will be participating a bit from home but it's just not the sammmmmme! Have fun, everyone!

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text. Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

Just in the past few months in Minnesota, there have been as many ICE employees arrested for sex trafficking as there's been people executed by ICE agents

it’s been fuck frey, but seriously, FUCK jacob frey.

As news coverage ebbs but reports from the streets indicate Operation Metro Surge is still surging, I’m surprised there’s not some kind of official report/press conference every day, like we used to get during Covid. Just the best update they have on what happened today? I think I am being naive.

I arrived too late to an abduction yesterday. Ice vehicles boxed in a food delivery driver on the highway. They took him, and when I came on the scene (with a few other neighbors in cars), his keys were still in it. We found his phone, a debit card, his car title and registration.
