Oh my god, he just was in Coyote V. Acme as like, half the cast—way, way too soon. Feel awful for his family. 😣

When you get an opportunity to sit down with Bryan Buchanan for a discussion of the "Dream Mine", you take it. Had a lot of fun learning about this weird nugget of Mormon history from a Relief Mine stock holder.

I don’t even care what my actual father thinks about how I live my life.

Just a periodic, friendly reminder that we could actually avoid all this by not caring who’s attracted to, who’s having sex with who, who’s marrying who, let alone believing any of it should matter in public policy. We could just all mind our own business and all have rights. ✨

What the Attorney General of the United States seems to not understand, but the people who matter do, is that Congress hasn’t given DOJ any authority to block states from certifying the election. This isn’t a thing. And we don’t have to pretend it’s a thing just because he says it’s a thing.

Oh for fucks's sake! This story completely omits the fact that there was enough evidence that her stepfather abused her, that authorities removed her and her brother from the home, and that the stepfather was indicted. That's important context.

Public records reveal that recently appointed Utah Supreme Court Justice Michael Menssen signed in support of the controversial repeal of Utah's anti-gerrymandering law, Prop 4. Read: https://tinyurl.com/bddebeta 

Sunstone is launching a new podcast about weird #Mormon history, folklore, literature, and conspiracy theories, hosted by @hendrixkomoto.bsky.social, @lhamiltonwriter.bsky.social, Grace Pool, and some goofy dude. I guess I'll listen.

Utah lawmakers can raise taxes with a simple majority. If voters approve Amendment B, citizens who try it through a ballot initiative would need 60%. Under Amendment B, 2018's voter-approved Medicaid expansion would have failed. Amendment B explained: utahpolitics.news/utah-amendme...

Public schools in Utah banned a best-selling Jodi Picoult novel and ordered all copies destroyed. So ... Picoult arrived at a Salt Lake City high school this weekend with 600 copies of the book. And she gave them all away, for free. "Applause and cheers erupted." www.sltrib.com/news/educati...

I don’t think the richest man in the world, who condemned millions to die by destroying USAID, is spending money on a corrupt politician because he loves Texans.

The federal investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar aims to build a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the probe on.wsj.com/4zBOcZ9

Oh Wow.

Ammon Bundy and Trevor Lee arrested. Tim Ballard going scorched Earth on the Mormon church. Tough few days for guys who fly replica Title of Liberties in July

In the 1800s, people used to roll out picnics to watch public executions in the Pacific Northwest. That followed a history of lynchings. I wrote about the death penalty in this moment and Oregon's loudest voice against it. leahsottile.substack.com/p/76-an-amer...

It’s the middle of the night here, I haven’t slept more than four hours in a night for 6+ weeks, but here’s a video that’s been bringing me joy:

Susan Lee, a Republican running for Davis County Commission, removed a photo of herself with her son, former Rep. Trevor Lee, on her campaign website. Trevor Lee was charged with four felonies and resigned from the Utah legislature last month. utahpolitics.news/susan-lee-re...

it's a bit concerning that instead of responding to obvious political incentives and moderating on some of their worst and most unpopular policies, the Trump administration is getting more and more extreme

this is honestly one of the worst and most irresponsible things he has ever posted, and that's really saying something

In the presidential immunity case, the court considered a hypothetical of a president ordering Navy Seals to assassinate an American political rival. Trump's lawyer argued unambiguously yes, since it'd be an "official act." The Roberts Court ruled in his favor, 6-3. Why wouldn't Trump believe this?

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.

I finally read Yesteryear. Natalie, in many ways, reminded me of terrible real-life women I’ve written about, like Lori Vallow and Amy Carlson. My review: by a childless “angry woman,” as the main character might call me. leahsottile.substack.com/p/751-on-bad...

i think cox should spend less time weeping about polarization and more time working to convince his co-partisans not to abandon pluralism and liberal democracy

you know the post-divorce album is gonna have the juice though

"God gave everyone a free will," until women want bodily autonomy or freedom, and then, suddenly, God is just the patriarchy.

HOLY SHIT! The Trump administration paid federal employees $9.5 BILLION for paid administrative leave as part of DOGE's effort to shrink the federal government. Absolute incompetence.

I hope Trump keeps naming things America until all 50 states are just called America. All the bodies of water are America. Every hill and ditch is America. Is my name America too? Maybe. Could be. Who knows?

Trump was 4 miles from the Twin Towers in his office on 5th avenue watching it on TV and then the smoke in the distance out of the window as his own lawyer has made clear in interviews previously. There were no fireman who carried him out of his office.

Perspective.

$16 million later, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was supposed to be open by July 4. Instead, it looks like this.

The (kind of) hidden grave of one of history’s greatest monsters, Reinhard Heydrich 👇

the press has gotten completely habituated to the ugly and hateful behavior of the people in this government so i will be surprised if anyone ever asks hegseth why he thinks it is appropriate to mock children for wanting to learn, grow and maybe serve their country

Movie was a riot. Just gag after gag, fully bought in to its own bullshit. I can see why they fought so hard to save it. You should try to catch it before it’s out of theaters

COYOTE VS ACME is legitimately great

LOONEY TUNES IS BACK

Every nap is a gamble.

oh my god

Dolly Parton's family asked that, in lieu of flowers, fans make a donation to the singer's Imagination Library. Here's what the charity does ⬇️ www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...
