NEW: The leader of the UK Liberal Democrats, Sir Ed Davey:

"I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful... I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything."

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

Christ, these people are monsters. Just monsters. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I like that this design appears to show the birth date of liberty as 1776, and its death as 2026

NEW: Plaintiff response to Team Trump suggestion of demolishing Kennedy Center “Defendants have not-so-subtly said: ‘This is a nice Kennedy Center you have here, and what a shame should something happen to it.’ This is a breathtaking assault on the rule of law. It's delusional"

As soon as there‘s a Democrat in the White House again, John Roberts will discover all kinds of new limitations on their presidential powers, but for now, President Make-a-Wish gets whatever his little heart desires

I remember a time when judicial opinions didn't generally open with sentences in which the judge gives his own opinion on the policy he is about to rule against. www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

The cowardice among members of Congress in the Trump era brings to mind profiles of courage from the past. Alas, the very different past … litsavage.substack.com/p/profiles-i...

Trump is raiding wildfire prevention funding to pay for his vanity projects while over 2.3 million acres burn in Oregon

"The president’s recent financial disclosure form shows that he collected $1.4 billion from his crypto businesses last year, the majority of it from anonymous sources" www.nytimes.com/2026/08/09/u...

Past Republican administrations have done plenty of stupid, but never before have we seen the GOP actually cheer for a loss of jobs the way Trump 2.0 has done in praising its moronic, scientifically illiterate attacks on offshore wind. insideclimatenews.org/news/0908202...

$100 to any reporter who asks him, "so you're saying Capitol Police should've shot dead everyone who breached the Capitol on January 6?"

"In the week leading up to the Iranian attack on Friday that killed two soldiers and left one service member missing in Jordan, Iran carried out 3 other strikes Those attacks injured dozens of service members and damaged several helicopters. But the Pentagon did not disclose the earlier strikes."

The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

These people are evil.

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate? Dahl: Yes. Murray: And what is the rate for someone making $1,000,000? Dahl: 2.2%.

We were the only UNIONIZED employees he’d ever had, too. I am broke as hell now, but I’ll never regret saying this: EAT SHIT, YOU PATHETIC TWERP. No matter how much cash you accrue, you’ll never know the joy of solidarity. Your life is empty, and you’ll be remembered as a warning to children.

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

We asked you what Trump's UFC Cage resembled. You guys delivered. 😂

MMA cage fights feel “utterly impersonal, savage and robotic — just nonstop pummeling and wallowing and thrashing and an absence of art or wit. . . But it’s perfect for a U.S. president who channels “Clockwork Orange” in more ways than one…” open.substack.com/pub/litsavag...

No living US president has had their face on US currency in 150 years since Congress passed a law banning it. Because that’s what dictators and autocrats do.

When Bezos is right, he's right. And right. And right. And right. And right. And right. And right. And right. And right. And right. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/20/c...

Had no idea that on top of all his other failings, Jeff Bezos would be such a brazen liar, too.

I think Franklin Graham is a nepo-baby charlatan who weaponizes the Bible to advance his political agenda.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

I wonder if there was any way for them to foresee it would happen?

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

"That's the way it is," says the five-time draft dodger to our military families who fear their loved one in uniform could be next. What a disgrace.

“The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost. That happens in war,” President Bonespurs said, announcing the start of a massive diversionary attack on Iran known as “Operation Epstein Amnesia.”

fun! a public setting for Matt Murray to lie to more people.

Wasting no time getting to his first lie #sotu

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Rep. Massie:  “I've not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein files…Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide. But I haven't seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this DOJ.”

The executive jet that DHS says it needs has a “bedroom with a queen bed, showers, a kitchen, four large flat-screen TVs and even a bar ..” @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

This how you isolate and capture "the worst of the worst" of these dangerous immigrants. You show yourself to be in need of help, and the worst criminals reveal themselves and their criminality by doing whatever they can to provide you with help. Masterful law enforcement.

Will it be national news? Will it cause performative outrage? Will he be censured? Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note: Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”
