The sad thing is that there are living human beings who believe him. Assuming they're watching it from somewhere other than Corinth, MS.

TRUMP: “Have you seen the crowd outside? 22,000 people watching. We love you out there. They’re watching the Jumbotrons.” 📌 The entire population of Corinth, Mississippi, is approximately 14,000 people. The man can’t even lie right.

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

So now they're openly making jokes about the president's dementia. ??

JD Vance: "We're self-confident men in the Trump/Vance administration. The president has been noticing a lot about the physiques of everybody lately"

@atrupar.com's quote here is funny, but Obama's points leading up to it are dead serious.

“How much time do you think this defense secretary spends looking in the mirror in the morning? These are not serious people” — Obama’s audience in Ohio is hanging on every word as he skewers Trump and Hegseth

Seriously, though.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

Stay for the end. It's delightful.

Wow yes. Appalling is the right word. What a horrible person to do this to his employees!

this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

I did. I didn't follow the Holmes/Theranos story very closely, but the movie is fantastic! Probably raises more questions than it answers for people who have went down the rabbit hole for the details as they were revealed in real time.

You Can See Everything is a fucking masterpiece. Do not read/watch/listen to anything about it and see it asap.

Republicans have long made a major issue that George Soros has been a donor to Democrats, spinning insane lies about him to make that a bad thing Elon Musk is a *much* bigger donor to Republicans and there's no need to invent lies about him. Just tell the truth about the evil shit he says and does

JD Vance's main line of attack on Dan Osborn is SOROS!

This is awful, but I appreciate how much the idiots in charge of CBS are doing to let the entire world know that they are no longer a legitimate news organization.

because it is relevant to my work, I have tried very hard to educate myself on how AI works, be fair and measured in how I evaluate it, and regularly test new tools to confirm or debunk my priors and tbh AI haters are just nailing it with less work like 99% of the time. keep at it folks

Fascinating article featuring discussions by credible sources (mostly?) of what we know to be true. This post just features one such.

Retired admiral Trump’s 'American delusion' is backing US into a corner President Donald Trump is becoming an authoritarian due to his misuse of America's military, a retired admiral warned on Tuesday — and he added that as a result, "all the power in the world will be irrelevant" to stop other thre

Gah! he's a horrible human being. Hey, though, he's doing this to a man now. Yay for equal opportunity?!

YIKES -- Trump loses his shit at a reporter for the third time during this Q&A -- "Wait wait -- Quiet. Quiet!!!! What's wrong with you? Are you a SICK person?"

Democrats are preparing to investigate Musk if they win control of the House in November, Politico reports. Potential probes would focus on his DOGE leadership, federal job cuts, alleged data breaches, government contracts and Starlink’s role in Ukraine.

Peter Navarro uses the White House as a prop while making a deranged sales pitch for his book: "Buy one for a friend, and I'm asking you to do this because it's the only way we're gonna put Fauci in prison. If we sell a million of them to change the thinking ... "

Performing an abortion in Mississippi could result in 10 years in prison but an officer killing a 1-year-old child is justified????

The Supreme Court burns to the ground in Albania, Parliament and the Department of Education has been stormed, the Prime Minister is in hiding and the country is effectively in the hands of the rebels. Albania rejects blatant corruption and their country being sold.

Ossoff: "I have no interest in running for president in 2028, and to be very frank, with just 16 days before the polls close, I want to urge everybody out there to remain focused on the task at hand. The Trump admin is out of control, they've lied us into war, they've sent prices skyrocketing ... "

Thank you SO much, @goldengateblond.bsky.social !! I choose to find a lot of encouraging news here. I'm sure a lot of lefties will come up with a million ways it won't happen, but I'll keep hoping.

"[A] firm catering to conservative clients has been getting calls . . . from Fortune 500 companies and startups. 'If they have been supportive of this administration, they know there is a possibility that there is a target on their back.'” Obvs should have thought of that sooner and NOT DONE IT.

Trump doesn’t care about the general public. His only concern is walling off public lands into private enclaves and business opportunities for himself and wealthy cronies.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.
