The Executive Branch has no authority to regulate states’ election decisions as to candidate qualifications, and the choice to file a lawsuit like this just days before an election speaks volumes about the political corruption festering at the top levels of the DOJ.

When I first moved to DC, it became super obvious that WaPo’s editorial board was out-of-touch with residents and their needs. But holy shit—the current trash being promoted by the new editorial board is so atrocious at some points it resembles satire. It’s so bad it is absurd.

Unknown substances are being mailed to lawmakers, the U.S. is in another stupid war, and wildly Islamophobic remarks from Republicans. The early aughts are back! But the prices for anything from the 2000s didn't come with them.

Lafayette Square isn't "a historic protest site." It's a fucking park. And it's packed on nice days. Calling it a protest site is White House framing. They're closing a popular public park to create a presidential palace Saddam Hussein would love.

The Bari Weiss effect in action. Let's leave out that this GOP House Speaker was a serial child molester. Those words aren't mine, but those of a federal judge.

This man is addicted to fraud. He yearns to let private companies terrorize sick people. Reminder: A healthcare company he led pleaded guilty to 14 felonies for fraud. He walked away with over $350 million. This man should never be allowed to speak to issues related to healthcare.

To all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah across North Carolina: L’Shana Tova! May you have a happy, healthy, sweet, and peaceful new year.

Maybe don’t make your Labor Day post with AI? Even better, if you’re a politician, here’s a pro-tip… your Labor Day post that fails to mention unions or the working class is bad.

Renaming a lake most people have never visited has really brought down to cost of my groceries!

Some voices tell you exactly where they come from. Dolly never sanded Appalachia out of hers. To me, her accent always sounded like home. She cared enough about our mountains to make sure generations of kids growing up there had books and with them bigger worlds within reach. This one hits close.

Whatley likes to cosplay being from NC.

If Garth Brooks shows up here in DC and just plays "We Shall Be Free" for 2 hours, I'd be happy as a pig in shit.

This is the logical outcome of Melania's robot, Linda McMahon calling it A1, and the chatbot tutors breaking COPPA to share the names, birth dates, family details, and conversations with kids.

So much for the innovations of free-market capitalism, lol! Let's keep the shitty internet so some service providers don’t have to compete.

What the dumbfuckery is this nonsense? What an absurd statement that would be disqualifying for anyone previously.

Facts.

Facts. @ossoff.bsky.social knew a hit dog would holler and holler they have.

When you AI slop this hard it makes me question the legitimacy of the poll.

Def read this like the bear and the person were playing some FPS game, and the person said something to piss off the bear, so the bear called 911 to report an active shooter at their address.

It's unsettling to see an FBI vest and two non-uniformed friends hopping out of an SUV cattycorner to the dog park on S and 17th on your ride into work.

“Winning is the worst thing that could happen to the left” is a genre of commentary that you can expect to get more and more popular now that the “These wackos will never win” genre has lost its plausibility.

Imagine making good money playing sports and ending your legacy by being a washed-up culture war prop bullying people whose lives are already harder than yours ever had to be.

News sites be highlighting opinion pieces like they’re from regular people or some neutral expert, but the story about why hen houses need less security is written by the CEO of Fox Going to Steal Them Eggs Enterprises.

Ever see a friend ask for recommendations for some city or place you’ve visited and you simply don’t have it within you to respond: “Don’t.”

Susan Collins’ next book title is “Courage when Convenient.”

A lot of the “left vs. moderate” divide is consultant bullshit slapped onto messy voters after the fact. The class divide is real. Voters are complicated, contradictory, and a lot less clean than a sound bite. Respect them enough to stop treating them like a monolith.

Once you remove the money and consultants who get paid regardless of success, a lot of the “moderate vs. left” divide in Dem primaries starts to evaporate. Voters are not ideological blocs. They have contradictory views. The class divide is usually a lot more real than the political one.

Moderates keep punching left because it’s easier for them than punching up. Working people are getting crushed by rent, groceries, insurance, and corporate greed, and somehow, the biggest concern these political hacks and moderate candidates have is whether somebody gets called a socialist.

If you're leading a party apparatus, you as an individual should never be the story, let alone have your actions actively undermine the party you lead.

I’ve not been following the internet or the news, but has Jake Tapper said anything about Trump shitting himself or falling asleep on camera in meetings?

It's incredibly fitting and deeply telling when people use AI to create an image or video of a problem that exists mostly in their own imagination.

Speaking of Great Ideas, This is the Greatest Idea of 2026, nay, the Greatest Idea of the Decade! - WE WANT AN IMAX HERE: www.popville.com/2026/07/imax...

Vulcan As A Motherfucker. 🤘🏻🖖🏻

These people are not serious, nor do they care about the problems 99% of you and your neighbors are dealing with. This entire administration and those who support they have only changed laws to benefit Trump's family financially and their corporate donors who already had vast amounts of wealth.

As long as I get Mike and Tripp calling our games I won't mind...

Solidarity!

The wonderful @marisakabas.bsky.social let me go long on the grim historic parallels between the Prairieland defendants and 19th century America’s brutal repression—and execution—of anarchists, union organizers, and political dissidents. We are all antifa now. www.thehandbasket.co/p/haymarket-...

Corporations should not profit from essential human needs. Every person deserves access to the things they need not only to survive, but to live a meaningful and dignified life.

How come the only Democrats I’ve seen upset about DSA candidates winning primaries are folks who make a living from elections/politics whether the Democrats win or lose?

It takes serious guts to be this vulnerable, and I hope in exchange for her honesty, my friend Rocio and ALL our friends and colleagues at ProPublica can get the fair contract we need, especially when it comes to wages:

Things you read after you show up to the airport 5 1/2 hours early to make sure you don’t miss Game 5. But you’re sitting at the airport bar 25 hours before puck drop because in your excitement you forgot today was Saturday.

Listened to an NPR story this morning about mass child starvation in Senegal without a single mention of Elon Musk, the guy who gleefully created the conditions for the mass starvation

Elon Musk recently said he wants "to make Star Trek real," and I guess there are some Star Trek storylines with racist pogroms

The AI bubble will burst. We don’t need to decimate the health of our communities racing to the bottom.
