Imagine my surprise in seeing what looked like a fresh/preserved Romney/Ryan campaign sign just off of 421 through Wilkes County in NC... 🤨 #ncpol

if you watch the clip from this week of the now-former press secretary on hannity you can see that the administration did in fact still televise an execution

@johnfugelsang.bsky.social are you going to post your execution/Hegseth monologue from the beginning of today's show standalone anywhere? Because this needs to be on YT, etc., and sent on social media blast to everyone's respective right wing family members.

so much depends on a complicit red congress beneath a blue wave amidst a battered republic #vote

I have blamed The agents That hacked Your website And which You probably Reasonably thought I controlled Forgive me I am rich And unaccustomed To taking responsibility

WTF has happened to #Carrabbas? I rarely go there, like maybe once a year, and I'd never claim it was the best Italian out there but it'd always been consistently decent. It was a whole different story tonight. Unbelievably disappointing.

Did Trump make a poop joke about #MTG? Or is he just completely off his rocker? Rhetorical question. Mostly.

Honestly, never has a person *more* needed a group chat.

Every accusation's a confession, etc., etc...

I still think Dems need to force a vote in the House and Senate to guarantee admission of UN/international observers at voting locations come November. Symbolic? Maybe. But it'd put elected officials on the record. What do you think, @aoc.bsky.social ?

The Washington Sun@washingtonsun.com

Election officials and lawmakers are alarmed that the Trump administration hasn’t been clear about if it would send federal agents to the polls in November. https://www.notus.org/2026-election/federal-agents-polls-2026

Was literally just thinking today how strange it was that I'd not seen any sign of #ThePollening, and then this afternoon... yellow cars, yellow cars everywhere.

1. Why is the Secretary of the Treasury (still) being tapped to talk about the war? 2. Why does he remind me of Neil Clark Warren from those eHarmony TV commercials in the early 2000s?

To be clear, this is this month, to date. Not exactly accurate however, this is with about a week's worth of data missing cuz dumb manufacturer web infrastructure.

Phil Berger going full #WATB, illustrating that, having shenanned before, he'll definitely shenan-again. #NCPol #PhilBerger

WUNC News@wunc.org

Senator Phil Berger trails by 23 votes after the county canvass. His campaign says some voters in Guilford County who should have had that senate district on their ballots swear they did not. www.wunc.org/elections/20...

Every time I see Pete Hegseth, I feel like he reminds me of someone, and I was never able to figure out who. Now I'm thinking it's more like the unnatural lovechild of Joe Isuzu and the Shamwow guy.

Imagining a world where, rebuffed by Anthropic and OpenAI, the Pentagon decides to use Grok Chatbot in figuring out how to spy on Americans.

NPR@npr.org

OpenAI's Sam Altman says he shares the "red lines" set by rival Anthropic restricting how the military uses AI models, amid Anthropic's escalating feud with the Pentagon. n.pr/4rO27YE

The existence of the Supreme Court implies the existence of the Meat Lover's Court and the Neapolitan Court

Jess Morrissette@decafjedi.com

The Supreme Court is basically a Pepperoni Court with green peppers, onions, and mushrooms.

There's about a zero percent chance they got birrias, or even chorizos, though.

“The second day they gave them tacos.” Candace Owens says the TP USA/Kid Rock halftime show (that drew far fewer eyeballs than Bad Bunny) was pre-taped with an audience paid to cheer — and, incredibly, they fed them… tacos.

How does Congress NOT hold #Bondi in contempt now? It's one thing to look the other way or procedurally grind the gears of justice (both bad). But to let someone come into your house and act this way is a existential risk to separation of powers. Can they not see the threat to the institution?

This is incredibly bizarre to me. I actually just used the CIA Factbook for the first time in a long while, about 2-3 weeks ago. (Yes, I was looking up information about #Greenland)

Arieh Kovler@ariehkovler.com

They closed the CIA World Factbook and deleted it entirely.

I mean, if we're running with the theory that every accusation is a confession...

Dean Obeidallah@deanobeidallah.bsky.social

Trump incited the terrorist attack on Rep Ilhan Omar and then claims it was fake. Never before have we had a President who views Democrats as the enemy who can and should be attacked and killed. This is why MAGA must be abolished. www.mediaite.com/politics/tru...

Europe needs to have a strong united front re: #Greenland, not because of any Trumpian gambit resembling a "Sudetenland" appeasement redux, but for a far, far simpler reason: They're dealing with a petulant man-child who has never once been told "no" in his entire life.

If there is one real "justification" that this #snafu of criminal imperialism has truly wrought, it's the fact that cancelling my subscription to the #WaPo months ago was the right thing to do.

Dean Obeidallah@deanobeidallah.bsky.social

WOW: Jeff Bezos' pro-oligarch Washington Post comes out in favor of Trump removing the regime in Venezuela and sending in the oil companies to make billions!

With news out of #Caracas, already bracing myself for what will inevitably be the most atrocious #SOTU the world has ever seen, in a few weeks. On the flip side, maybe the inevitable chest thumping will result in a cardiac event.
