I can’t tell if You Can See Everything is a huge breakaway hit or if it’s specifically managed to dominate the niche demographic: everyone I’ve ever met.

In the past week, Ken Paxton has been found to have illegally voted six times under a false address and to have spent Independence Day in London with his mistress—threatening to drop his support among MAGA Republicans down to 99 percent.

This is the University of Central Florida. So many people really have no idea how much kids hate this shit.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

The person in politics who sounds most like a normal person is Bernie Sanders and Barack Obama personally intervened to ensure he was not the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Obama: "What I'm more interested in for Democrats is, do you know how to just talk to regular people like we're not in a college seminar? Can you talk in plain English to folks? And not have a bunch of gobbledygook around it. Just talk like normal people talk. 'The rent is too high.'"

Slightly concerned that the lesson from Hungary that leadership Dems and Dem voters will take away is that you can run any ole neolibcon and people will turn out in huge numbers if the other guy is bad enough and not to run someone actually good who can turnout huge numbers just by being like good

Today it was confirmed that the president told the world's most infamous pedophile and child sex trafficker: "We have certain things in common." For any other president, it would be the biggest scandal of their lives, possibly career-ending. For Trump, it's just Monday.

Yet again conservatives are melting down about the foreseeable consequences of conservative policies. We’re in a death spiral now where they tank the economy and cut welfare, then fearmonger about the resulting increase in visible poverty and addiction.

We've normalized tech CEOs, venture capitalists and billionaires as modern day philosophers and truthsayers. Its cringe, its embarrassing, and its bad for society to take them seriously. Having just watched the mildly entertaining, Mountainhead, Im reminded how truth adjacent it actually is.

you could get a supermajority in Congress just by running on jailing everyone involved in the crypto self dealing, but as with all other issues that poll well, Democrats are too intertwined with the people benefiting to ever pursue

i think everyone needs to stop framing whats going on as “bending the knee” and what’s really happening which is “they’re finally feel free to do what they’ve always wanted to do”

CBS is one of a dozen U.S. outlets that responded to authoritarianism by shifting coverage further right, which is why we're calling rounding up minorities in the middle of the night and dumping them in random countries they've never been to a "breakthrough"

the “administrative state” in practice is a lot of very hard working, practically anonymous people doing the thankless work of making this country run and a drug-addled dipshit is slandering them in order to steal our money for himself

not trying to pick on this guy. this just reminded me that the federal government does not provide coffee to workers. to drink coffee at a federal office you generally have to pay into a "coffee club" that is managed by a staffer who volunteers to collect money and purchase a monthly coffee supply.

For those who continue to deny that Trump and the MAGA GOP's objection to asylum-seekers and refugees isn't racist, check out which group, out of all the conflicts on earth, Trump has made a very special refugee resettlement for. Yep. White South Africans. Beyond parody.

BREAKING President Trump has signed sanctions against South Africa for their recent land seizure bill. He is ordering all aid to South Africa be halted and he is also ordering federal agencies to prioritize humanitarian relief and admission to the United States for Afrikaner refugees.

“Oh you think there’ll be elections in 4 years” is kind of the cope of disillusioned and despondent liberals who don’t want to admit that yeah there probably will, they’ll be in a good position to win, and they still will run just a dogshit candidate who might lose.

Today I counted more than 50 subreddits that went through with banning links from X, reaching more than 40 million combined members. At least 20 million of those members were encouraged to join Bluesky, instead. www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-...
