Can You Not

Me at my performance review

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

YOUR ENEMIES LAMENT YOUR VERY EXISTENCE. ARE YOU HYDRATED?

MELANIA: "You give me jewelries." UKRAINE: "No." MELANIA: "OK, you give me MORE jewelries." UKRAINE: "No." MELANIA: "OK, we have deal. Call press."

He's trying his best....

BE SO BRILLIANT NONE OF YOUR ENEMIES WOULD DARE LOOK AT YOU.

if you believe that Melania Trump negotiated a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, I've got a $5,000 Trump dividend and some Melania memecoin to sell you

Disgusting, they will sell anyone out for profit.

we need you to rename rent to $500/ month and gas to $2/ gallon

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

Excellence from El-Sayed.

So we are clear, "Russia Russia Russia" was *never* a hoax.

WTF

WE GOT YOU We're hosting the official virtual, accessible No Kings GOTV Rally! WITH amazing speakers. Seriously, we got Stacey Abrams, Michael Lewis (he wrote Moneyball, The Big Short) & Theo Braddy (veteran disability rights king, in case you're not aware of his game) You won't want to miss it

Hello new followers! I've removed the paywall from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you probably won't... tomcox.substack.com/p/the-villag...

This photo says everything about why Trump keeps hiring unqualified worshipful young women (who look like his daughter)

imagine if Joe Biden ...

In all seriousness - if you haven’t read this or don’t follow Tom Cox, take a minute to look at them. He has a great way of seeing the wonderment of things, which is refreshing in these times of awful takes.

Timeline cleanser!

It’s A Grift

You really can’t make this shit up.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

If you’re someone who has worked to overcome systemic barriers and advocate for a more just future, our Pauli Murray fellowship is for you. Apply today or share with the early career people in your life.

Maybe we should let them build this, barricade themselves inside and then LOCK the door.

this gaffe should follow Eric Schmitt around for the rest of his political life (Jack Smith was actually in Maryland at a HAWKEYES game, not in Atlanta colluding with Fani Willis as Schmitt alleged) (Win McNamee/Getty)

Trump: Sleepy Joe Biden, have you heard of him? *a few moments later* Trump: 😴😴😴

California will now certify non-ultra-processed food with a new seal, providing clear info on packages. Washington can talk all they want about "Making America Healthy Again" while food recalls pile up on their watch, but California continues to actually lead the way.

Now let’s resume talking about Epstein.

Can we just have health care?

Xi Jinping Impressed With How Much Trump’s English Has Improved Since Last Visit https://theonion.com/xi-jinping-impressed-with-how-much-trumps-english-has-improved-since-last-visit/

I love this scene for so many reasons. - both directors are present - the witty critique of monarchy and Arthurian legends - the metaphor that the peasants are literally raking mud - Graham (King Arthur) did incredible work in the main role and as a lead actor (after recovering from alcoholism)

Sauron calling, line 2.

We really have to consider the possibility that we elected the dumbest motherfucker in America. Twice. Do better, people.

"If you spend $200 at the grocery store, and you say "I'm not gonna trade with the grocery store anymore, you don't lose $200 on groceries. It's very simple, right?"

Reminder: voter fraud is not a thing. Voter suppression is.

You'd think the fact that the son of the President of the "party of family values" 2nd marriage is to the daughter of Epstein's banker and it was funded by a Rusisan oligarch involved in the mass kidnap of Ukrainian kids during a KGB agent's illegal war Would be bigger news..

A minor detail is missing from the headline.

Rep. Lynch to Bessent: "I'll be honest -- I don't think the president could spell AI if I gave him the first letter"
