this man is a gotdamned patriot

like vance, ramaswamy is a hateful, resentful orc of a human being, and the reason i think this will hurt him politically — where this stuff didn’t hurt trump — is that ramaswamy, like vance, is also profoundly unlikeable. he has no charm or charisma or anything. just a dipshit.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

A president saying clearly and with his full chest “I am directing the Department of Justice” to do … anything, would have been a five-alarm scandal in previous years. Now? It’s just a Tuesday.

Pedocon theory remains undefeated. Given any chance to defend pedophiles, Republicans will take it.

If you never left X fine. If you left X because of fascism, Nazis, or Musk and you're going back? You just have inconsistent values and I got beef with you. Like please do not pretend you ever took a moral stance on this and accept your roasting for having a spine like a dried twig.

Holy fascist propaganda, batman!

Fox News is honing in on the enemy ... and it's ... Ms. Rachel?

this really is impeachable for any president, but really grotesque coming from a regime that cut life-saving development aid because they said it was not efficient

The man ICE shot in Austin today is named Wilber Rafael Garces Perez. Per his lawyer, she and Perez’s family were run off of hospital property where he’s being treated and won’t even confirm he’s there because he’s “in ICE custody.” Actual criminals.

One side of this war has an elected legislature but it doesn't really have any power compared to the supreme leader and the council of guardian jurists, and the other is Iran.

Maybe we should try electing some kind of larger body of people who can decide law and policy instead of vesting near-absolute power in one man, checked only at the extreme outer margins by his own party's judicial appointees.

This is dumb even on its own terms because it's falling for the idea "MAHA" is a real thing with its own voter base. It's not. Some grifters pretend it's a distinct mass movement but it's simply not. RFK was on track for <2%. It's not a coherent bloc, it's just part of the general swirl of Trumpism.

To be making the argument in 2026 that immigration is a Republican leaning issue so Democrats shouldn’t campaign on it, and especially Trump’s overreach on deportations, is to be completely ignorant of the data and events of the last 18 months

I recently took 2024 CES data and mapped out clusters of the American electorate that may form parties if reform were to happen. You can find the simulation here where you can map out different scenarios in the House and see profiles of the different parties: usmultipartysystem.pages.dev?tab=house

In Scottish local elections where they use proportional ranked choice, fewer than 6% of voters aren't represented by their first choice. Compare that to the US where ~36% voted for non-winners. See my sim at usmultiparty.com for how a multiparty system could create more representation.

I cannot overstate how much I hate when people are dicks about babies crying in public (especially airplanes). Do you think the parent is having a good time right now?? Do you think they are not aware of the situation??? Are you going to negotiate with a literal infant????

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

"What matters the most is that the games are good" - as long as we have OD, Fallout 5, who cares, right? Everything's fine!

It's not a mystery why Trump is working so hard to spread lies about elections. Follow the money. He's pulling off the most lucrative grift in presidential history and wants his MAGA House and Senate to protect him from any accountability.

This does not strike me as an action likely to reverse the loss of support among Democrats for Israel www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/li...

Mabuto in the Congo.

Oh.

When 18-year-old Elder Chavez was pulled over for going 15 mph over the limit, he tried to show officers docs the US govt granted him after his parents abandoned him in Honduras and he crossed the border alone. He was put in ICE detention anyway. 🧵 1/ www.propublica.org/article/unac...

underappreciated that the racist and lawless position adopted by 4 justices in the birthright citizenship case a few days ago was considered and rejected by justices in *1898* who were like oh woof that's too racist and lawless even for us ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/birth...

This is so upsetting

It never stops.👇🏻 Trump Cut a Billion-Dollar Mining Deal. His Sons Stand to Profit. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/28/w...

the feds have done more to harass americans angry over good and pretti’s killings than they have to investigate them

*DONALD TRUMP: TALON COMPANY DOING VERY GOOD WORK IN DC

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

just remembered trump's tax returns got leaked and he said in a debate that he'd close the loopholes because he knows how rich people game the system, then he cut taxes for the rich and is now exempting his family from tax audits. lol.

you mean "this technology will destroy all of your jobs and potentially kill everyone" isn't an amazing PR move

Years ago Scalia provoked gasps in the gallery when he called the Voting Rights Act a “racial entitlement.” But turning American democracy back into a white racial entitlement, as it was for most of American history, is exactly what the Roberts Court is doing. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Alito: This is not racist it's just partisan, therefore it's not objectionable bsky.app/profile/jona...

I know “Imagine if Obama did it” is old hat, but fucking imagine if Obama posted a picture of himself with an alien slave for no discernible reason.

This is extraordinarily bad polling across the board, and if it were a Democrat getting such miserable marks, the political media would be talking about a failed presidency. But it’s Trump. So instead, they’re delicately tiptoeing around dozens of utterly unprecedented abuses of office.

checking in for a brief moment on the Rededicate 250 blasphemy fest and yep, it's beyond parody

The most corrupt president in history:

again, staying completely silent on the actual merits of ai, the initial ai boosters basically campaigned on "this will eliminate your job, forever, and make me personally rich." it should not surprise *anyone* that this provoked a backlash.

Using the DOJ’s data, Alito also elided the fact that the racial voter gap is actually widening. In the three most recent presidential elections since Barack Obama was on the ballot, Black voter turnout has trailed white voter turnout. trib.al/3w7AXE2

The reason people keep doing crimes for Trump is that you get rewarded for doing them, congratulations to Colorado's Dem governor for making sure we get more people trying to overturn elections on his behalf bsky.app/profile/kyle...

this is an example of “who cares what the court says it is none of their business”

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

gestured towards this in my column today but republicans seem to have adopted this idea that the partisan lean of a state represents some mystical General Will such that the south isn't just a place with republican voters It Is Republican and no democrat has a right to serve within its borders
