As discussed on John Fugelsang's show tonight, this is the dead mall YouTuber I was talking about. My favorite channel from this fascinating subculture of videos documenting the end of shopping malls. This one's especially haunting if you grew up in the DC area. www.youtube.com/@sal

(Sigh) Here we go: The main reason some enrollees actual incomes differ from what they reported is because ACA subsidies are based largely on what you EXPECT to earn the FOLLOWING year, and ~half of exchange enrollees are self-employed, which usually means a highly variable income. 1/

So fun, even when we had to move to the basement….

It's Driftglass and Blue Gal Day on the Bob Cesca Show! Our talk was interrupted by a nearby tornado, but we continued the podcast from their storm cellar. We also talked about Iran, Trump Phones, No Kings, and more! @driftglass.bsky.social @bluegal.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/139s...

So much debt and so many potential shit relationships with awful men -- just to find a husband? The people cheering for Charlie's stone age "Mrs Degree" advice are really effing stupid and probably deserve all the misery that'll go along with it.

Due to the destructively poor choices of too many selfish ignorant voters, there's no way we'll meet this target.

What the hell is this??!

🙄

This is how you do it. 👇

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment. In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community. You have a home here always.

Not only do we have to push back against MAGA anti-trans bigotry, we also have to cajole too many Democrats to stop cravenly skulking away from this basic human rights issue -- a core liberal values issue.

Anti-trans discrimination isn't a distraction, senator. Either condemn the decision or don't, but brushing it off as a mere diversion from something you consider to be more worthy of attention only diminishes the tragedy of it.

That rumbling you feel is Teddy Roosevelt rolling in his grave.

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.

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

Gore winning 2000 means no Alito or Roberts. Clinton winning 2016 means no Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, or Barrett. A few thousand votes' difference means misery and terror for millions.

I watched this last night. Incredible documentary! (And the Gym Jordan stuff is insane. What a despicable human being.)

Small D energy. 🍄

This is insane. If a kid has, say, a genetic disorder that requires hormone therapy in order to go through puberty, they get the hormones. OTOH, if a kid has gender dysphoria, they're barred from access to hormone therapy. How is that not discriminatory against trans kids? What am I missing?

BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court upholds Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors. Robert, for the 6-3 court, holds that the law is not subject to heightened scrutiny under equal protection and passes rational basis review. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Context note: DOJ doesn’t turn over evidence to Congress if they have a viable investigation in the works.

Stuff?

If the administration thinks it's safe, maybe they should volunteer to test their theory. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

He has to pay $2.3M.

It's pretty notable that mainstream, establishment discourse never ever ever considers giving liberal politicians credit for crime reductions. It's almost axiomatic that if crime goes down under a center-left leader it's either unremarked upon, or must be driven by something else.

TACO

Taking on fascism requires understanding the role Twitter played in getting us here in 2016, 2020, and 2024. And that's the only way to help us decide how we should approach it in 2025.

Yes, democracy is endangered and the authoritarians continue to undermine voting rights. But assuming there won't be any more elections only helps MAGA, normalizing the end of elections and driving down turnout. I'm muting these defeatists in my mentions. Prepare to win or get out of the way.

If we make it through the next 1,316 days, I hope enough American voters begin to prioritize sanity, competence, expertise, and decorum in our political leadership.

JFC. And Captain Nincompoop blamed the nonexistent wind for the pages falling straight down.

Kuato lives!

"Donald the dove" "No more forever wars" "Never would've happened if Trump were president"

There's usually massive traffic on I-95 here -- on a good day. I can't even imagine the size of the backup now.

BREAKING: The American Bar Association has sued the Trump administration on behalf of its members to put an end to Donald Trump's law firm intimidation project, calling Trump's efforts "unprecedented and uniquely dangerous to the rule of law." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

He’s such a blithering embarrassment.

we're getting cucked by Canada this is humiliating

Donald's declared enemies are American citizens -- Democrats/liberals/non-MAGA, especially in cities. His immigration policy is an attack on people he perceives as enemy combatants.
