New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Who amongst us hasn't accidentally sworn loudly during a live broadcast? At least it isn't just me 😁

For No King's Day #nokings #trumpparade

Was gonna laugh at this but also this is actually a quite earnest guide

Who else nearly fell out of the seat when you heard Cosplay Kristi accuse Sen. Padilla of “political theater”?

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

Oh the (lack of) joy of living in a 51-49% world, constantly balancing precariously between liberalism and illiberalism. One day, hopefully, there will be a decisive shift back towards liberalism. Perhaps.

Jessica: When you actually read the transcript of what Trump is talking about, he said oh, Biden's brain is mush, he has stage nine cancer, which is not real, oh, by the way, I just aced a cognitive test.. and we're supposed to believe he is 6'3" and 224 pounds which makes him an NFL wide receiver

Rick Wilson: "We have a whorehouse at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”

Since Donald Trump is freaking out about Bruce Springsteen calling this the most corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration, it would be a shame if this video was shared even more widely....

“What the hell just happened?” wasn’t the triumphant song of the contest, but it was the defining slogan #Eurovision

Sums up Starmer. For every one GB News viewer who may now think he is not such a shit PM, he will get 100 people who voted for him now say that he is.

If you missed my recent appearance with Nicolle Wallace, here are some highlights and my further commentary on Trump, Pam Bondi, and the rule of law. youtu.be/kuV0dhO_t7o

Stephen Miller serves a deranged authoritarian who thinks he is all powerful and can do whatever he wants. He is wrong. Our job as lawyers is to stand up to him and defeat him in court. I, for one, will never bow down or seek a deal with Trump. I will stand tall and fight.

Early exit polls suggest the new pope did particularly well with male voters aged 45-79.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

An anniversary worth marking. I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

I know from experience: When we fight, we win. This week, we stopped the GOP from stealing a North Carolina Supreme Court seat. Democracy Docket reported every update on this case. Subscribe to its free newsletters for the latest on all the lawsuits to come: hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

I’m not sure how Duffy can fix any of the issues with air travel when he’s on Fox 24/7 complaining about it and blaming other people. STFU for 5 minutes and do your job! This isn’t a reality TV show - people’s lives and livelihoods are in the hands of these unqualified dipshits.

THE most important political issue facing us now is our corrupt campaign finance system & Citizens United. As long as Musk, AIPAC & crypto money can buy politicians, we’re not living in a democracy. We must end billionaire control of our politics and publicly fund elections.

Dammit 😭

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges. When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.

No notes. h/t @ianbremmer.com

The obvious solution is to hire some, and then fire them.
