Trump should go to jail. Elon should be deported and/or jailed. SpaceX/xAI/Starlink nationalized. Fuck xShitter, just unplug the servers. Tesla is becoming irrelevant all on its own.

There you have it: "Musk and Trump discussed the Starlink decision in a call soon after the slowdown became public." Gift link ⤵️ www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

I’m glad the USA built up the hugest, most destructive military apparatus in the history of the world so that this pathetic creep can use it to act out his deep psychosexual issues

Hegseth: "Americans want to serve when they are led by strong patriots, not by weak weirdos. Makes sense."

Fuck Dr. Oz. For the first ten years had insurance under the ACA I (stupidly) never “made a claim.” Then I ended up in the emergency room and very definitely “made a claim.” I’m sure I’m not unique. This is just more of the administration’s attempt to destroy the ACA.

Dr Oz: "There are 5 times more people in parts of Obamacare in Florida than live in the state. It's impossible More than a third of people on Obamacare have never used the insurance policy once. If you were gonna pay your hard-earned money to buy insurance, would you ever use it? The answer is yes"

I don’t know who Dave Ramsey is, but he is a great example of Calvinism. I think Calvinism is one of the fundamental evils in our national character and that John Calvin is one of the biggest traitors to the teachings attributed to Jesus.

You need to understand conservative Christian eschatology to if you want to understand U.S. support for Israel. Rebuild the Temple. Temple gets destroyed. Second Coming. I’ve been banging on about it for decades. Vance basically laid it out. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

theguardian.comJD Vance says he’s doing ‘God’s work – and if that leads to the end times, OK’Vice-president says on evangelical podcast he would feel ‘not shocked if the antichrist was walking among us’

Today I learned of the existence of Nathan Cofnas. My fellow white brothers never fail to embarrass and disappoint. And it’s probably good I’ll never meet him in person.

Ohio Republican Vivek Ramaswamy hired his mother to manipulate clinical trial data for an Alzheimer's drug he owned the rights to, which he used to inflate its stock price and cash out before the stock tanked. But his opponent is a Democrat. Our rating: Lean Republican.

Even though I love (and miss) living in Vermont dearly, I tell people there are reasons why I left. This piece of shit sheriff is a good example.

This post is unavailable.

The network still exists. Trump, or younger family member, is still involved. Mar-a-Lago is still a recruiting site. Blanche and the rest of the GOP are either clients or desperately want to be. The autonomy and dignity of women, especially young women and girls is meaningless to these monsters.

I’m going to miss the art form/sport of the Ross Douthat take down. It was the only thing his “intellectual” output was good for.

Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social

In dishonor of Ross Douthat's last NYT column, I'm breaking my self-imposed ban on reading him—smug bad faith, whiny victimization, and steadfast refusal to let evidence affect opinion—and will screenshot and comment. This is the column if you want to read it yourself (I don't recommend it). 1/x

You can tell that the MagaHe-ManAlphaMale masculinity movement is absolutely bullshit because they venerate this spoiled, soft, whiny man-child instead of treating him the disdain he deserves.

Perfection.

Gotta start taxonomically classifying people as exhibiting "Twitter user behavior." Developed "concerns" about Fauci in 2026. Says he's an old-school Democrat, but had a bad experience at a barbecue. $24,000 in debt to Kalshi but about to turn it around. Uses AI to nudify his ex. Teeth falling out.

I would seriously welcome having “Dr.” Oz tell me this to my face. I’m curious if he could keep up the lying while speaking, person to person, to a 60 year old white working man who is alive because of the ACA. For years I didn’t, then one day on 2021 I did.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Dr Oz on ACA "fraud" -- "Of the people who signed up, 40% never use the insurance. Let me ask you, John, you have health insurance -- do you use it once a year? In Obamacare right now 40% of the people ostensibly signed up never use the insurance ... we have a lot of fake people on the policies"

Rode home from the UES today and decided to do the Queensborough Bridge crossing (the 2nd Ave bike lane can be unpleasant). Never again. At least not in nice weather. E-contraptions of all sorts are making things too fraught for this analog riding old fart. #biking #nyc

Liz Soto and Savanna Batten are 2 of those sentenced to 50 years in prison for Prairieland. I visited them in a north Texas jail—11 months into their incarceration over a July 4 noise demo—to meet the Trump admin’s “Antifa terrorists”. from behind glass, Soto said, “They didn’t like my book club.”

This is an obscene example of judicial overreach. The Beast’s regime and its henchmen will try everything to intimidate and silence us. The best thing to do is keep on being yourself, expressing yourself. Resist. Yes, the cost of doing so could be high. The cost of submitting will be higher.

The fascist Texas Judge complicit with the fascist Trump Regime is putting a man who moved “zines” (protected free speech) in prison for 30 years!! Trump hid classified documents in his bathroom & asked his henchmen to hide docs from FBI. He got ZERO yrs. theintercept.com/2026/06/23/p...

This is amazing. I’m only slightly sorry that I’ve been missing the Henry/Lalas mismatch. Only slightly. Telemundo is much better than Fox’s English language coverage. Even for me who understands virtually zero Spanish. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

PT Ketamine has pulled of the mother of all muggings/tulip sales. That the Street went along with this is either stupidity, fear of massive sunk cost loses (because they’ve propped up his meme stocks for too long) or unmitigated greed (they’re being fine with the mugging/tulip hype). We’ll suffer
