Seems Trump was big mad at Tulsi last week for posting that cryptic video warning about nuclear war, and took it as her sending him a message advising him to not back Israel in the war against Iran. It's made him more seriously consider nixing her office altogether. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

So. I guess Tulsi’s meeting with her handler went as expected.

Opinion | A deranged Republican shot two lawmakers and their spouses over the weekend. But my colleague who I assume is a Democrat wrote the word "womxn" in a Slack thread. I have never felt more politically homeless.

It’s time for the Right to tamper down the hate.

Wait til the end

If they can do that to a United States senator... think about how little they care about what they do to us.

I just learned that the current Ayatollah in Iran is not the same Ayatollah who took the hostages that time. Here's where I think the conflict in Iran is headed....(1/67)

Breaking: US Troops in California to focus exclusively on protecting the Los Angeles Ministry of Oil. IYKYK

Does anyone have any idea what crime Gavin Newsom committed that would justify arresting him? Or does it not really matter?

Are we great yet?

In the war between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, I hope they both lose.

This is the real face of humanity...

Former President Joe Biden has delivered the first remarks since he announced he had an aggressive form of prostate cancer, speaking in a steady voice during a somber Memorial Day gathering and later smiling and saying he’s “feeling good.”

Against all odds, Joni Ernst has made it worse

hahahahaha oh my god this is his entire theory of why he’s such a miserable striver

Sherman was right.

What exactly is a freak-off? Josh Barro and Ross Douthat drop by to explain.

Energy & Commerce text is out. Will go through it in this thread. tl;dr: this'd be the largest Medicaid cuts in history, kicking millions off their health insurance, leading to tens of thousands of additional deaths each year LOTS of bad stuff in this (but the very worst policy did not make it in)

I’m old enough to remember MAGA screeching about Hunter Biden selling a painting… And I’m old enough to remember them screeching about price controls too. Crickets when Donald Trump takes a blatant bribe from Qatar and implements price controls on medicine tho. 🦗

Aaaand there it is.

BREAKING: Polish Prime Minister Tusk announced full certainty that the massive fire at Marywilska 44, a major wholesale center in Warsaw, was arson ordered by Russian intelligence.

Uh oh.

Someone tell the NY Times that Hillary is accepting a plane from Qatar. Then maybe they’ll stop being pussies and start covering it for the corruption that it is.

“Waaaaah…I don’t care if it’s a bribe. I WANT MY PLANE! Waaaaah 😭😭😭”

Honestly, I don’t think any worm was in his brain. He just heard the Pink Floyd lyric, and went with it, and now here we are.

Who should be the next pope? We asked an all-star panel consisting of two Matts, two Nates, and Bill Ackman.

That guy from The Real World, Sean Duffy, trying to blame Pete Buttigieg for his failures is pathetic. Republicans move fast and break things, then blame others. Rinse, recycle, repeat.

Worried about bare shelves and widespread retail shortages? This slow-cooker cabbage with vodka will make you feel like you’re in the 1970s Soviet Union.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

I’m kind of hoping India and Pakistan cool it when they realize they can’t count on the U.S, the way siblings might stop squabbling when they realize dad’s on a meth binge again.

Stephen Miller's law firm has sued to place federal courts under the control of the president. It's flagrantly unconstitutional. But do they have a point?

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

A good rule of thumb Democrats should use to figure out how to interact with Trump is to imagine you’re addressing Jabba the Hutt. Do you sound tough? Defiant? Or are you some pandering slimeball who is obviously going to be double-crossed and fed to the Sarlacc?

The Golden Age

Great work as always, JD.

Btw, Katie is every bit as horrible as her husband Stephen. They are made for each other.

here's today's post: "all hail Pope Fuckface the First" — has Donny ever even cracked open a Bible? thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

Feels like the moment MeToo went from discussing sexual assault and harassment by celebrities to examining these same abuses by family and friends, we saw an acceleration of the argument that “society gives boys nothing”. An orchestrated backlash by abusers who saw that their unmasking was coming.

Is Trump required to follow the constitution? This Federalist Society constitutional lawyer says he doesn’t know

Now we know why he didn’t have his hand on the Bible when he took the Oath of Office.
