Secret Service agents are trained to take bullets for a president but not this shit

The toxic influencer who has made "hyper-masculinity" his brand was arresting wearing Doris Day clam-digger slacks and a kicky purple blouse.

This passage from @davidlat.bsky.social perfectly captures the false dichotomy you see so often from the Supreme Court's defenders: The Court is held out as "independent" because it doesn't *always* rule for Trump. That whitewashes (1) how often it *does*; & (2) its bad behavior in non-Trump cases.

Henry, Peter & Jane Fonda in 1963

Last year ICE said a man tried to murder a female ICE officer while she was trying to arrest him. They swore under oath he grabbed her by the neck and tried to choke her to death. He was even indicted for attempted murder. Problem is, it never happened! Bystander video unraveled the lie.

Texas mother was turned away by two different emergency rooms when she sought treatment for a miscarriage seven weeks into her pregnancy. Even as she developed a fever, writhed in pain, and suffered massive bleeding—she was refused care. www.huffpost.com/entry/texas-...

“Stop talking about it.” MORGAN FREEMAN on ‘Race’.

People, for the love of God, please stop treating birthright as some kind of sweeping victory. It was 5-4 on the constitutional issue. The dissent laid out a fucking ROADMAP for what Trump should do next. The court always gives Trump multiple bites at the apple WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HAPPY ABOUT?

i hope tom kean becomes a synonym in our culture for collecting a paycheck while doing absolutely nothing

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

Three votes for the proposition that the Fourteenth Amendment does not mean exactly what it says. Three votes to strip citizenship from people to whom the framers guaranteed it. Three separate opinions explaining why. Three fucking votes. Broken institution, not worth saving.

To be honest, I'm a little surprised the birthright citizenship case wasn't 9-0 and it's a sign of just how deep the brain rot goes on this bench

The Supreme Court Gives Donald Trump Full Control Over the Executive Branch, Except the Part of It that Impacts Their Retirement Portfolios

Progress stripped away the poetry

Good morning!

The owner of an Oak Lawn methadone clinic has been charged in a massive fraud scheme that allegedly swindled tens of millions of dollars from government programs that were used to fund an extravagant lifestyle, including brokerage accounts, luxury cars, jewelry and a yacht named “Butt Nekkid.”

Michael Cembalest is out with his annual energy report for JP Morgan and it's full of fascinating stuff, but this graph jumps out: Trump is succeeding in stifling America's clean energy boom. Absolutely ceding the field to China.

he is not wrong

While Trump is focused on the Reflecting Pool, Arc de Trump, and East Wing Ballroom…. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/23/t...

Having lost a war with Iran and still not having turned over the Epstein files, it is time, of course, to attack Dr Fauci with the most batshit conspiracy theories ever... because.

Happy Father's Day to all those men who are breaking cycles, and showing how love can always triumph.

Old enough to remember when the people defending a UFC fighter for making a 'joke' about Michelle Obama at the WH wanted Jimmy Kimmel, a comedian, to be fired for making a joke about melania on his show.

"Mirror journalist asks why violence committed by white men never seems to matter" www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

All these American car manufacturers can build a low price EV just like the Chinese are doing . They just don’t want to .

"Elections are always clean and good and wholesome when Republicans win — isn't that amazing? What an amazing coincidence. But when they lose, it's fraud. Look, in Trump we have an authoritarian president who, among many other things, does not believe in democracy.”

Bad enough to say “pretexts are fine as long as you’re going after black voters”; worse when the pretext is exploded, and the Court still blocks.  www.huffpost.com/entry/suprem...

So trump can go to a knicks game on a Monday but not his own son's wedding on a weekend???

Nick Bilton wrote he's not here "to make headlines about newsroom drama." Bilton referred to himself 23 times in his email firing Scott Pelley—five in the first sentence alone. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I believe Xi made a deal with Trump: Look the other way on Taiwan, and in exchange Beijing will purchase enough Trump meme coins to make him wealthier than the CEOs who accompanied him at the summit.

Timothy Snyder does a perfect job describing American foreign policy in just 53 seconds! This is so spot on, what an embarrassment the "baby in the bulldozer" is. @timothysnyder.bsky.social #Pinks #ProudBlue

NEW: When the Pentagon announced a $620 million loan last year to a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr., defense officials and the company tried to tamp down suspicions of cronyism. We found that the request came directly from the White House.

If the 2nd greatest English-language filmmaker of all time can cast a black woman as Helen of Troy, then surely Christopher Nolan can, as well.

This is the first day in a world without CBS News Radio, which had been broadcasting since 1927. Through eighteen presidential administrations, nine popes, five British monarchs, and numerous wars. Nearly 100 years of journalism, gone like that. Bari Weiss killed it.

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

NEW EPISODE: The Purcell principle is a made up legal rule that federal courts should not alter state voting rules too close to an election. That is, seemingly, unless you’re a Republican. www.youtube.com/watch?v=InDA...

Convicted Felon Donald Trump wants to give these Insurrectionists your money (Credit to Bill Weir for the original video post)

Every American should be disgusted by this.
