Basically runs from Dem campaign issues to GOP campaign issues with maybe no exception?

It’s not just about affordability. Maybe for the first time since 1974, voters say their main concern heading into the midterms is corruption in government. Great to see.

Listening to the atmosphere in LA for the NZ v Iran World Cup clash, you’d think they’d won a war or been paid 300b or something

That Oh Fuck moment when you’ve moved to the countryside, the weather has been beautiful for a while and then this is the view from top of the driveway

. @bsky.app Why does my timeline go back to the start if I click on something in a post - eg i look at a picture and when I come out I’m back right at the top of timeline Makes app sort of unusable tbh Thoughts?

Kinda obvious, but Trump can’t promise immunity to IRGC if he doesn’t control the Govt of Iran, and he won’t control it unless he puts boots on the ground. It’s just so moronic.

Must be a relief to Ukraine that with the Iran negotiations over, they can get the A-Team of Witkoff and Kushner back to getting Russia to back down.

If I was an American politician I would be very wary about getting into a war beside a country that has very recent form in killing women and children. War crimes play better in Tel Aviv than Toledo.

Footage from Minab, Iran, shows the aftermath of an Israeli-US strike on a girls' elementary school that reportedly killed more than 50 people.

Legislation to force importers to pass on receipts will be an open goal for Dem leadership for the mid-terms. So they will probably miss it.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

DOJ intentionally released unredacted names & photos of victims because they knew victims would demand files be taken offline to prevent further harm. Seriously evilAF. Serious Suggestion: Jail Todd Blanche & Pam Bondi for contempt until all files released & properly redacted. NOT KIDDING.

Columbia Heights (Liam's school district) cancelled school today because of a credible bomb threat at Liam's elementary and multiple ICE vehicles parking in the high school staff parking lot at 6:15am.

Putting DHS anywhere near this investigation is like putting my 12 year old on the case of why there is only one chocolate biscuit left.

I don’t understand why people pay silly money for paintings when they could have art like this

18. The sublime 1954 Sportiva concept again. I don't understand why people steal old paintings when they could steal this instead.

Guess who has been given some catastrophic polling and focus groups? So transparent.

My money is on Bovino being offered up first. He seems pretty disposable unless he has some really damaging paperwork

BGB reposted

Just so we're clear, and so a tiny handful of wankers online don't create the wrong impression, the vast majority of your European friends are incredibly impressed by Minnesotans' courage against both the ice and ICE.

Alex Pretti’s phone has video of this incident too, and I’m pretty sure it’s going to show an ICE agent assaulting him before shooting him.

Good thread.

the base has always pushed dems to fight harder but this is different & i don't think dem leaders get that -- people are apocalyptically furious

Honestly America - we are all getting bored with this. I know lots of you don’t like him, but we are getting to the point we blame all of you. I don’t see a million person march on Washington, national strikes, civil disobedience. He’s your problem. Do something. You all own this shitshow.

It really is mad king stuff, untethered from reality. He tells the Norwegian leader, you did not give me a prize that you don't control, so maybe I will invade the territory of another Scandinavian country you don't lead.

Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but I expect that if Trump tries to take Greenland by force, either his generals will refuse his orders (as they will be illegal) and / or enough GOP congressmen (5?) and Senators (18?) will vote to impeach and convict. They are not going to let Trump blow up NATO.

With the 100k troops left inside for safe keeping. Obviously it would be dangerous to deport them to the US given the chaos happening there.

Would be pretty funny if the Supreme Court strike down Trump’s tariffs today. Which of course they should - and these Greenland related ones make it very clear they are not related to an economic emergency.

The school bully is the most despised character in every movie or book. Is there something lower than stealing lunch money from the poor kids? Congrats America. Well played.
