If Dems and their backers are not right now cutting ads featuring Tillis to be played in Maine, Alaska, Missouri, Louisiana, and elsewhere, it’s political malpractice.

An intercepted call from Iranian government officials says the American bombing campaign was not as destructive and extensive as expected. But an intercepted Telegram group chat from Pete Hegseth says that Donald Trump is the greatest president of all time ever.

Eric Adams is running on the "End Antisemitism" line. That makes it literally his signature issue. Surely he should know the specifics better, right? Right?

Trump’s immigrant threat has played out like Bush’s WMD threat. Media played up the fear. Now he can’t find them (violent gang members) and is deporting children with cancer instead. People are slowly realizing they were lied to.

Love this guy: @brianschatz This bill is a real piece of shit it and it would be excellent if that’s all anyone talked about for the next few days. Super interested in your think piece about the NYC mayor’s race but let’s get to that after we try to stop biggest wealth transfer in American history.

So what seems clear from the intel, is that we probably should have reloaded the B2s, and gone for a second round. Instead the impulsive toddler was desperate to have a strong ending to the movie and declare a cease fire. This is a show to him, entertainment, and he’s the “star”

Even more evidence that Iran's nuclear program WAS NOT OBLITERATED but only set back a few months. That is EXACTLY that the U.S. intelligence assessment from last week said. Trump, Hegseth, Ratcliffe, & Gabbard are all lying. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/u...

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.

WAPO EXCLUSIVE: New intel via an intercepted call shows top Iranian officials were surprised Trump’s recent strikes on Iran’s nuclear program were less destructive and intensive than expected.

#Iran Supreme Leader jabs at #Trump claims of "obliteration" of Iranian nuclear program "He exaggerated unusually. Anyone who heard those words understood that beneath their surface, another truth existed. They couldn’t do anything and exaggerated to cover up and keep it secret" #Israel

The Trump administration has released a three-time felon and five-time deported immigrant because he's going to testify against zero-time felon Abrego - all to cover their tracks for mistakenly and illegally sending Abrego to El Salvador and then lying about it to the court to cover it up.

For all their obsessive poll-watching, a lot of Dems in DC don't seem to realize that the longstanding AIPAC tactic of conflating "Israeli government policies" with "Jewish people," so that criticism of the former is necessarily hate for the latter, no longer works among the Dem base.

The analogy is to mid-1930s Germany, not to 1942. Right-wing populist nationalists with a cult of personality that tried a coup, failed, regained power while vowing to violently scapegoat minorities, then dismantled rule of law from within. How identical do they need to be to allow comparison?

Horrific political assassinations took place in America, & we’ve totally erased it from the National Conversation™️ because they happened in the Midwest instead of Manhattan & we’re not a serious country. Incredibly depressing on so many deep, pathetic levels. May their memories be a blessing.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson? Harvard undergrad, Harvard Law, magna cum laude, cum laude, and editor of the Harvard Law Review. That’s what elite talent looks like. Charlie Kirk? Dropped out of community college. Game. Set. Match.

👇🎯 You don’t have to go back to Weimar, though of course you can & should. It’s all been done before, far more recently, in other places, too. Folks told you that you were hysterically overreacting c.2017 when you pointed this out. You were not, of course. And here we are.

Every single layer of elites is totally failing. Everyone thinks it’s someone else’s job to do their damn jobs.

Who has gone out on a limb to challenge Trump? Lots of federal district court judges. Whom did the Supreme Court choose at this moment to rein in (having passed on doing so under Biden)? Federal district court judges.

So the fraud that DOGE was supposed to find but didn’t was actually Russians stealing the personal data of Americans (because our data protections etc are sh*t so tech bros can profit) — false claims which Americans were dutifully reporting to the govt /1 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

with zero segue he went from gatekeeping who’s jewish to … trans weightlifters? he’s human AI slop. like this is the equivalent of one of those hands with 50 fingers.

NEWS: In Newsom v. Trump, Judge Breyer finds that he has jurisdiction to consider a preliminary injunction based on Posse Comitatus Act grounds — and grants California’s request for discovery on that issue.

Can we move on from talking incessantly about New York. Don’t think the future of the world order hinges on its municipal election tbh.

This is the slippery slope New reporting on use of federalized National Guard in what appears like DEA-led drug bust, no protesters in sight, far outside of LA @lizagoitein.bsky.social has very sharp analysis on why this appears illegal on all counts (including Trump’s own presidential memorandum)

President Confirms US Intel Says Iran Nuclear Program Not Destroyed, Damage Limited, “Obliteration” Just Word He Uses

Murray to Vought: This should be a yes or no. What I hear is all kind of word salad to make sure you are letting us know that you intend to do things that are outside the intent of the law.

Elon Musk wants to use Grok to “rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge.” Turns out, so do antisemitic Holocaust deniers. My latest article looks at Musk’s history of flirting with antisemitism — and the dangers of letting them contribute to AI training data. open.substack.com/pub/weaponiz...

As a Jew, pass

Started / Going Trump in the clip: “You know, Israel, they have guys that go in there after the hit …”

Trump:  "The intelligence was very inconclusive. The intelligence says we don't know. It could have been very severe. That's what the intelligence says. So I guess that's correct. But I think we can take the we don't know. It was very severe. It was obliteration."

Honestly I am not qualified to choose leaders for NYC, which has its own specialized needs and issues, and Mamdani is well to the left of me on any number of issues, and I likely wouldn’t vote for him if I could in a normal context, but fucking Cuomo? Seriously? /1

VEO 3 is why I said you should now view any video with no cuts under 8 seconds to be inherently suspicious unless proven otherwise.

This is an actual post.

It’s deeply disturbing that FAA Administrator nominee Bryan Bedford refuses to commit to upholding the 1,500-hour pilot training standard.   After the DCA crash and surge in near-misses, now is NOT the time to weaken flight training requirements for pilots.   I’ll be voting no.

Confused? All you need to know is that the Iranians are full of shit, Bibi is full of shit, and Trump is full of shit—and it all makes perfect sense.

I guess blowing up Fordow and declaring Iran denuclearized is the new closing Yongbyon and declaring North Korea denuclearized?

Shows over folks.
