when he's right he's right

I heard the BBC are getting an actor in to dub in Kneecap’s voices.

Not a surprise, they only got in bed with Cuomo because they found him inevitable. As he is not, they're gone.

"They believe that Trump is this salvific figure for Christian America, and that they have made their own decision to capitulate to him, and that they really believe that the rest of the country needs to capitulate to him as well." https://trib.al/9Yo6LEY

I love Brad Lander and hope he refuses to listen to the “consultants” who forced Tim Walz to tone this kind of talk down

New analysis from CRFB: "The latest Senate version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) would likely add roughly $4 trillion to the national debt, including interest." www.crfb.org/blogs/senate...

This sentence, typed in her dissent, should scare the living fuck out of everyone in this country. "This Supreme Court is an existential threat to the rule of law." – Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

A new Trump presidency and the Ukraine war have pushed Germany to change its constitution to spend more on its military. "Building up our military is our top priority," said Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

This should be a constitutional requirement, in addition to not being an insurrectionist.

Morning Blueskyers. I give you Brexit... 🙄

Accurate

Reform: the party that literally couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery. It's too easy a joke, but irresistible. www.lancasterguardian.co.uk/news/politic...

All I see here is top notch ball security, elite contact balance, a willingness to grind out tough yards btwn the tackles, and surprising burst after he finds daylight

Not sure who is behind this video (could just be dude on camera) but it is extremely effective and this kind of thing will first make the rounds on social but then show up, or be imitated in, election-season ads.

The United States tried presidents who were smart, decent, and capable of empathy, but decided it wasn’t for them. It just didn’t reflect them.

Oh dear. I guess the point, if there is one, is to propose/impose something which is utterly meaningless but can be presented as "immersive" (my apologies for using that word) as football becomes ever more remote from the fans.

THIS! 👇🏾

HMMM!

I miss having a human president.

This is what a decent human being does. We were very lucky to have him as our president who did so much for Americans. I still can’t believe what we have now.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on Jesse Watters: "He has HIMSELF has said, when you manipulate or edit facts for a public official, someone needs to be fired... I think he's right! I hope he reads his own words."

I love that climate change is all up in Bezo's business

“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor. One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.

Part of the reason that universal injunctions became so prevalent seems to be because Presidents are increasingly making huge legal/policy changes via executive order. Maybe we can get back to Congress actually making the law and the executive merely enforcing it??

Again, I’d like to encourage the people who think it’s a good idea to embrace a cruel and capricious dictatorship, while making it clear no legal or legislative authority can stop them from ruining ordinary people’s lives, to keep on reading to see what usually happens next.

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

god damn he's cooking

Someone should investigate Tapper's cognitive decline.

Raskin: "If you can opt out of mandatory classroom readings bc it offends your religious objections, you can do it bc it offends your philosophical beliefs... you're gonna have a lot of cases where ppl say 'Our family doesn't believe in evolution. We don't want our kid in class when it's taught'"

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

Justice Jackson did not come to play today (Birthright citizenship/nationwide injunctions)

Newsom: The gloves are off. Let’s go. We’re gonna call out the bullshit. And the propaganda. And the weaponization of lies and disinformation on networks like Fox…

this is just an observation but one way to think of the civil war is that it WAS about states rights, but the right in question was the right of free states to stay free

Part of my Economic War Plan means the government shouldn’t give tax breaks to big companies and then have to pay again to keep their employees from going hungry. That’s double-dipping—it makes the taxpayer pay twice for corporate greed. And it’s got to stop.

🥺🥺

Governor Gavin Newsom is suing Fox News for $787 million for defamation about the call with Donald Trump during the Los Angeles protests. He’s also asking for an on-air apology from host Jesse Watters. Dominion 2.0 coming up. 🍿

this is a segregationist administration and it is wild to me that there is any resistance to this straightforward observation

Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops

🚨🚨 US TRADE DEFICIT SURGES The Commerce Department's Census Bureau on Thursday reported that the international trade in goods increased by about 11 percent in May as exports decreased while imports remained relatively unchanged — a sign that Trump's tariff strategy has been a colossal failure.

Everyone is focusing on Bove’s “f*** you” comment but not enough attention being given to the other bombshell in the WB, which is the premeditated violation of the Mass. district court injunction and subsequent cover up, the same injunction which SCOTUS stayed on Monday 1/

Murder rates in almost all US cities have fallen massively, but in red states, the rate of murder by police is going up: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A lawyer like Emil Bove shouldn’t be able to dodge congressional oversight by claiming certain privileges. And yet…

Today I mentioned El*n M*sk in conversation and the adult person I was speaking to said "who's that?" For one fleeting moment I saw a world so sparkling and clear

The number of manifestly psychologically unwell people in the highest levels of this administration should be unsettling to the world.
