lyin’ in bed, just like

Reverse Cassandraing, whispering, “Everybody predicted all of this.”

Brian Wilson’s secret weapon:

Seriously ought to be a Padres fan

I am glad that Brian Wilson had a great second act. 🏄

WATCH THIS SPACE! Republicans’ tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations may create such a big debt hit that they trigger “sequestration,” which means MANDATORY MEDICARE CUTS — and they know it.

As a native Arkansan, this made me laugh out loud. Did you know her brother tortured and killed a dog but got off because their dad was the Governor? You can get away with rape and murder in that state as long as you’re kin to someone at the courthouse. Sarah is full of shit.

If I could get one concept to fully absorb into the minds of anyone even a tiny smidge to the left of the center, it would be: No positive progress of any kind is possible in America as long as there are enough Republicans in public office to stop it.

We’ve leapt over a lot of red lines in the last week. But one I find most worrying is Trump/MAGA/ICE have ceased even pretending to claim some criminal pretext for cracking down on protected speech. It’s just straight up “if you criticize us, you’re getting throttled/arrested/disappeared.”

Part of a great conversation I had with Andra Watkins of For Such A Time As This. Republican policies may start in red states, but that's not where they end. Run everywhere. Fight everywhere. #everystateblue

Dear Republican Voters, Republicans will keep lying to you until you figure out they are lying to you.

Let’s be clear: These agitators aren’t misguided allies. They’re not here for immigrants, they’re not here for justice. They’re here to sow chaos. Every brick they throw, every fire they set, hands trump & his followers more fuel. They’re intentional, coordinated & calculated. #Peace

Lovely. Plus the $45 million for the parade, and the $16 million to fix DC streets afterward. Pretty soon you're talking about real money. Police states are expensive. GOP governments are expensive. 1/2 www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

This is what it looks like without a United States Congress.

for fifty seconds i thought there was monsters on the world

“Police cannot pick and choose when the First Amendment applies. Journalists in Los Angeles were not caught in the crossfire — they were targeted." - National Press Club President Mike Balsamo www.press.org/newsroom/nat...

For the first time in 30 years, a Vietnam Veterans ceremony must relocate from DC to Virginia — so Vietnam Draft Dodger Trump can throw himself the world’s creepiest birthday party.

The far right mega-influencers marching in lockstep.Using the LA protests to drive one message, repeated nearly verbatim: "time to ban all third world immigration, legal or illegal." This is what a disciplined, ethnonationalist propaganda campaign looks like.

Trump is politicising the US military. This is an overtly political speech that uses active US military personnel as background props. This is a brazen violation of Department of Defense Directive 1344.10, and a breach of the longstanding US tradition of ensuring the military remains nonpartisan.

“World-class hater” is just true and accurate.

“We served a nation—not a king, a bully, or a dictator.” — U.S. Navy Veteran Rusty Hicks Trump has federalized the Guard, threatened governors, and now wants active-duty Troops in our streets. This isn’t about safety. It’s about control.

Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend. The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law. Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow. Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:

Rick Scott accusing people of Medicare fraud is something else, man.

Who shot Lauren Tomasi?

Let’s add the Camp Auschwitz shirt

"ThEyRe FlYiNg MeXiCaN FlAgS In ThE StREeTs" Give me a break Police were beat with American flags on January 6th Ohh not to mention the confederate flag being waved in the rotunda

gotta stop the violent line-dancing mobs

Dear The Marines, You are being used to put on a show for a bunch of dumb clown-babies who stumbled into government on their giant billionaire-funded baby-clown shoes. Don’t be as stupid as they are.

Whatever psychological testing is involved in hiring police officers is clearly insufficient.

Somebody’s boss oughta know about this, @mayor.lacity.gov

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

Trump is underwater in Ohio – in a poll of voters who said they supported him by a 10-point margin in November. Folks sometimes wonder why Every State Blue & Blue Ohio organize cycle in and cycle out, and support nominees who are running in some of the reddest districts. This is why. This.

Give the photographer the Pulitzer Prize
