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. ✨

Trump is ready to graduate from Kindergarten to First Grade.

Trump: "The first one is they show you a lion, a bear, a snake, and a giraffe. And they say, 'Which one is the giraffe?' I got a perfect score."

The word for that is "treason."

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

Openly bragging about ethnic cleansing. That's how you know they're the Good Guys.

Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: “The thorough cleansing that we are carrying out now in southern Lebanon is unprecedented. “They have nowhere to return to. Look at how it looks. “And by the way, the world isn’t stopping us.”

Even FOX is down on Schmitt for his dirty pool!

Fox: For a U.S. senator to have false information based on confusion about the name of a team, then call you a dirtbag, is something that deserves an apology. We reached out to Senator Schmitt's office for comment but we have not heard back yet.

I vote for "step aside."

3/ The Storm Summit. Trump's former military school classmate Peter Ticktin spoke beneath a banner depicting Trump as a matador. He floated an Election Day plot twist: martial law or step aside. The election has not aired and martial law is already being discussed as an alternate ending.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza. The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel. Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)

AI leaders: “We need to slow down, we may have created something hurtling us towards the extinction of humanity.” Mike Johnson: “Now hold on there, let’s not be too hasty. What if China extinguishes humanity first?”

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Mike Johnson on AI leaders calling for regulation: "We have to resist Congress jumping in & imposing some sort of emergency moratorium...the leaders of these platforms need to come together in a meeting w/us & figure out the right balance. We cannot put a moratorium on this bc China will overlap us"

The most amoral people on the planet would like you to know that they're concerned their work might be dangerous and you can trust them to slow it down.

I remain amazed, although I guess I shouldn't by now, that some Democratic leaders and donors will gladly give up Michigan and sink El-Sayed just to attack the majority that wants a reset with Israel and AIPAC. Remarkable times we live in.

Parts of Ohio are still without power and waiting on FEMA. The Strategic Reserve is at its lowest point in history. Gas prices are at seasonal record highs. Beef prices are at record highs period. Trump: best I can do is fake rename Lake Ontario and import diseased beef

"Like the East India Company before them, today’s giants are using their lobbying dollars and closeness to power to warp our politics and our economy as they take on the powers and functions of a nation-state."

Maryland Public TV has just released a wonderful hour-long documentary about Del McCoury's annual DelFest music festival, "Sweet Appalachia: The Story of DelFest," produced and directed by @anniedanzi.bsky.social of Frostburg State U. Highly recommended! Stream it: video.mpt.tv/video/sweet-...

Ridiculous opinion piece by a right-wing commentator. She criticizes "subsidizing discounts they may never even use," but an unused discount leaves the subsidy untouched. She claims that bodegas having "to compete against city-subsidized prices ... could drive their prices higher," which is absurd.

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Mamdani criticizes Netanyahu. Later, a crazy man stabs a Jewish man and an Asian man. And we get an article suggesting that while one stabbing (dismissed in six words) is just a shrug, the other implicates the mayor. Disgraceful framing. Shame on everyone involved. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/n...
