Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Simone Biles, continuing to prove she’s the GOAT

Imagine the worst possible presidential primary, it's easy if you try.

Kind of wild that the New York Times has more sympathy for an influencer who posted child porn than it does for trans children who want to be left alone.

Mike Johnson advocating for kidnapping children. Any Dem worth a shit will make it clear that anyone can buy a gaiter and a fake ICE vest. And he's saying go willingly with them. There is no reason a federal employee shouldn't have to show their face. And this should be an easy one to win.

Jackson's dissent is exactly right. There is absolutely no reason the Supreme Court needs to jump in and bless these unprecedented actions. These extraordinary interventions are manifestations of their ideological commitment to unchecked Presidential power (cf. Trump v. United States).

Pretty damning considering the JAMA piece last week that said Long COVID has surpassed asthma as the most prevalent chronic illness among children.

Charlie Warzel nails Trump v. Musk, noting both have cultivated/profited from a corrosive public social/political discourse centered on perpetual conflict. "A cage match is easier to watch than a discussion about who deserves benefits and resources." loom.ly/m53Tp2Y

When you’re in the 7 items or fewer queue & the cashiers are changing over & having a long chat.

Only if it means they fall into an open volcano together.

wrote about Chris Murphy scolding people for laughing at trump and musk, and why Ds need to stop treating talking points of the day as a suicide pact. and also maybe start listening to constituents. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/dont-scold...

“Some of y’all cant handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows.”

This is partly why Rs win and Ds lose. Rs latch on to everything that can be remotely twisted into a win for them and Ds won't even take an OBVIOUS rift and shine a light as they snipe at each other and expose the corruption. F that noise. Shine a light AND KILL THE TERRIBLE BILLS. DO BOTH.

Good.

First, let's cut the golf trip security, then let's cut the masturbatory military birthday parade on the 14th. These are not why I'm paying taxes.

In 1936, FDR closed out his re-election campaign by bragging to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that “organized money” hated him “and I welcome their hatred.” He took 60% of the vote in a 523-8 electoral college landslide. FDR knew having the right enemies could be a useful thing.

"They're saying Boo-urns, sir."

We need details on this.

"What's that noise?" "Stephen A. Smith is shouting again." (mutes TV) "Why couldn't these have stayed on TNT?"

We laugh so we can keep going and laugh again the next time

It's worth noting here that Elon's principal objection to the reconciliation bill is that its Medicaid cuts are not nearly savage enough. If Elon wants to damage Trump great but there's no Dem tent big enough to include the "kill hundreds of thousands of poor Africans for kicks" guy

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Wow I mean nobody* saw this coming. *Everybody. Literally everybody. Recluses in remote hermitages. Antarctic penguins. Newborn seal pups. Babes in the womb. Anyone with two eyes and a working amygdala. Plant life.

Look I know a staffer posted this but buddy, who is running your social strategy? this is not who your man is. Your man is playing the xylophone while the titanic sinks.

Well this couldn’t have come at a better time www.bbc.com/news/article...

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away
