Which would be, you know, part of the story about what made Russia into the f*cked up lawless hellscape and we should not think this is a path to glory

It's never about winning. It's all performative. He drops these when discovery comes knocking.

Trump drops lawsuit against the Des Moines Register and Ann Selzer over her late-campaign poll showing Kamala Harris in play in Iowa. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I remember encountering someone online who was mad that the supermarket has an entire aisle with salsas and stuff. The cold, dead heart of the Republican Party is ignorant, narrow-minded blood-and-soil cultural nativism as well as political nativism. Shitty people, shitty culture, shitty values.

It's fascinating to watch people who aren't running for reelection anymore suddenly grow a spine.

99% of the time I see young men explaining why they're Trumpers and hate Democrats, it's not just erroneous, it's nowhere close to reality. They live in an alternate universe created by right-wing social media.

Just a reminder of who Thom Tillis is: In 2013, as N.C. House Speaker, he passed a massive voter suppression law that was struck down because it targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision.” In the Senate he voted against the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Right Act.

Cool. How about you tell us what Donald Trump said to you that one time that made you wag your finger in his face? kthanksbyeeee

This is madness It isn’t about breaking Ukraine It’s about proving that we the collective west don’t have the will to stop Russia

Thank you to Roger for live posting the hearing today. BLUF: as far as DOJ counsel is concerned, the President has the unreviewable authority to grant clearances only to people of certain religions or race. So, a Jewish clearance. A Catholic SCIF. A Muslim CAC card.

Only two possibilities: 1) Six Supreme Court Justices are very stupid people, who simply didn't expect this practical impact of their rulings even though it's happened multiple times before. 2) They're into it. I don't think all of these highly educated high achievers are stupid.

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

So, liberal parents who can ground their beliefs in religion (many do) can opt out of: - abstinence only education - Baby Olivia videos - reading Ayn Rand - any class that talks about Donald Trump or this Supreme Court This is going to be fun. (And by "fun" I mean "utter and complete nonsense").

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

Wow that’s broad. Incredibly broad. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

If even a fraction of what this letter says is true, Emil Bove should be prosecuted for criminal contempt and disbarred. In no way should he be confirmed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

This widespread video claims to show a crowd dancing to Arabic music in New York City after Zohran Mamdani, who is Muslim, won the Democratic mayoral primary. In fact, it shows Shiite Muslims taking part in the Arbaeen pilgrimage in Karbala, Iraq in August 2024. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

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/

That's not a denial.

Now they’re telling us we have no “business” accessing the service records of our fathers and grandfathers www.archives.gov/college-park

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

Looks like hard evidence of crimes at the DOJ: obstruction of justice and contempt of court. John Mitchell went to jail for thsi, didn't he? What about these guys?

So far it appears as if Irans response, similar to after solemani was killed, is an attempt To respond to save face but not escalate.

If the Iranian program is now gone, that's a good thing, but as strategists and military planners always warn, the “enemy gets a vote.” The Iranians may respond in ways the U.S. does not expect. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Let me refer you to Estonian General Order 1, which is if any invader sets foot in Estonia you start shooting at them immediately and don’t stop.

The funny thing about this apnews.com/article/trum...

I'm having to explain to foreigners that in the folkways of our culture "two weeks" means we're not doing this. #infrastructureweek #Geertz #nothappening

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

"We're not saying you can't get health care because you're transgender, which would be illegal. We're just saying we refuse to treat the conditions that cause you to be transgender. That's different and okay." A pathetic, indefensible logical pretzel from SCOTUS

JD joining Bluesky just to write anti-trans posts while the admin prepares to bomb a major Middle Eastern power just tells us all he's not in the room where it happens.

I think you are lying

U.S. bankruptcy Trustee Christopher Murray has filed three suits accusing Infowars host Alex Jones of hiding millions of dollars in cash and property. https://n.pr/3STi0x3

This is pretty nuts. I don’t care whether ur in the guard or reserves. DNI is a full time job. You can’t not be available during a major nat sec crisis. More obvious explanation is that she was close to the Assad regime and Russia and they may simply not trust her to be there.

NEW: MyPillowGuy Mike Lindell found liable for defamation for his statements about Dominion Voting Systems executive Eric Coomer. Federal jury orders Lindell to pay $2.3M, far less than the $62.7M requested by Coomer’s attorneys.

Chevy Chase was more subtle playing Gerald Ford.

Look, everyone, including Trump, can have butterfingers, it happens. But let’s be honest, if Biden had done this (as with the tripping or walking the wrong way or whatever) there would have been multiple news stories and calls for medical examinations. It’s the double standard that annoys me

Tulsi Gabbard, now serving as Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, wrote the below post in 2020.

This is huge. The Trump administration wants to vastly expand the practice of shipping people to random countries they have never been to before, and are now making this part of a threat; either the countries accept taking third country nationals, or they get banned from visas.

The political assassin in MN appears to be a Christian nationalist & an adherent of the New Apostolic Reformation (w/ which Mike Johnson is also aligned). Christian nationalism is a heresy & one of the gravest threats to our nation. Here's a survey on it from @prri.org. prri.org/research/a-c...

8 days in June ‘25: - The president federalizes the California National Guard and deploys Marines to LA amid protests against ICE immigration raids - Israel attacks Iran, fueling fears of wider conflict - Democratic lawmaker assassinated - Nationwide protests as Trump throws military parade in DC

the thing about the Rubicon is as a river it's pretty easy to cross, not doing so is more about a respect for the rules than the difficulty of breaking them
