I know I’ve said this several dozen times, but right wing lunatics frankensteined together unrelated Bible verses to create “the antichrist” and a description of what he would look like, and then the guy fucking showed up and they love him.

Thinking about the tut-tutting Democratic politicians who spent their two years in power warning that Supreme Court expansion was too radical an idea to even think about taking seriously. You absolute fucking rubes. You gigantic, credulous losers. I hope you are ashamed of yourselves today.

they want to force UVA’s president to resign because he thinks it would be bad if the university reverted to being a lily-white finishing school for the failsons of the old guard southern elite www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/u...

I’ve had a license to practice law for 36 years and I am morally certain that I’ve never met a lawyer who couldn’t truthfully, emphatically, and categorically deny ever having counseled anyone to say “fuck you” to a court.

This is an excellent point

"If I were Senator Schumer, I’d be very concerned about his chances in 2028 because it sure looks as though Rep. AOC has all the momentum. I don’t see this trajectory changing if Mr. Schumer remains incapable of grasping its contours — or unwilling to." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/down-goes-...

WATCH: Marine vet Alejandro Barranco joins @chrislhayes.bsky.social after the violent beating and detainment of his immigrant father by masked agents. "My heart's broken. I love my country. I love my dad. I love my family, I love the community. It's hard. I do feel betrayed at times."

Democratic leaders need to either treat a lawless president like the lawless president he is or resign so we can find someone with the sack it do it.

Ladies and gentlemen, Big Balls has left the building. from @jakelahut.writes.news, @makenakelly.bsky.social, @telliotter.bsky.social, and @zoeschiffer.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/big-ba...

The last few days have truly been a low point for the American news media. And it’s all because journalists in this country—and their corporate masters—lack the courage to say what they all know and say endlessly in private: That Trump is stupid, and nuts.

This is insane

i do not require politicians, political pundits, commentators, or people in general to be "right" all the time but i do require that they acknowledge when they are wrong and welcome new knowledge

Exclusive: Iranian retaliation against U.S. forces could come soon, U.S. officials say reut.rs/466m70i

I remember when his son, Richard W. Smith and his three frat buddies selected a random UVa student and beat the hell out of him on the street while they laughed, back in 1997. UVa didn't expel them, thanks to Fred Smith's intervention. Today, Richard W. Smith is a COO at FedEx.

So Trump started a war without any degree of Congressional authorization and the way he announced it to the American public was with a huge lie that Iran’s nuclear program had been “completely and totally obliterated."

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

Here is yet another reminder that the Constitution is not optional… Congress must authorize military force before any president—including Trump—launches a strike.

Remember when we had that other building in DC along with the White House? It was full of politicians? Con-something? Anyway.

Generally speaking, one swaps out license plates solely to commit crimes

Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

Indeed

I recently discovered the Hawaiian word hāwāwā which means incompetent (but the whole range from merely not good to a fucking disaster) and the first thing I thought of was that it reminded me of wahala.

Trump has moved from saying you need a photo ID to purchase groceries to barfing out a conspiracy theory that China sent people here with fake license *plates* they used to cast fraudulent votes. Anyway, this escaped dementia patient has the nuclear arsenal at his command, have a great weekend.

Just going to join the host of lawyers and academics who are screaming at the press that THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T GET TO DECLARE WAR ALL ON HIS OWN no matter how special a boy he thinks he is.

Democratic senators need to stop pretending that GOP senators are their “good friends across the aisle” and realize many of them are just lying sociopaths who are actively fanning the flames of violence against them.

Sen. Patty Murray on the Padilla incident: "I have been here for more than 32 years. I have come to this floor often to speak out, to be angry, to be a voice for my people. I have never come this close to having tears in my eyes … We are a democracy, but we can lose that democracy."

Governor JB Pritzker said to Rep. Mary Miller: "I am not going to be lectured to by somebody who extols the virtue of Hitler." Finally, someone says it to their faces.

Get offended, yes. But do more than that — go on offense. Stop allowing business as usual to proceed in the Senate. Grind the chamber to a halt.

My family owes everything to America's acceptance of a refugee named Nicholas Pritzker on its shores over a century ago. My story, however, is not unique — our state and nation have been strengthened by people from across the globe seeking freedom, opportunity, and refuge here.

notice the b-b-b-but biden response to "looks like trump is in decline"

see what you need to understand is that they’re coming hard at california bc if they can take us down then it tells the smaller states there’s no point in fighting. we’re the bellwether. that’s why it’s so important we stop this shit NOW.

Trump announced a deal that doesn't even exist.

Several Fox figures apparently decided to lie to their audiences on Tuesday about a dispute over when Trump last spoke to Newsom, with each dissembling over what Trump or Newsom said rather than admitting that the president was wrong. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...
