This administration would be so funny if it wasn’t so historically embarrassing and destructive. America deserves serious leaders.

being a Trump supporter is just an exercise in humiliation at this point

You know who actually did show up at Ground Zero? Canadian emergency rescue crews.

"Therefore, I'm proud to announce that we will be constructing the nation's largest data center right next door to Mar-a-Lago"

You can’t talk about debt without talking about how we got into a bad predicament, and there’s only one correct answer: tax cuts enacted this century

@sixtus.net Eventuell von Interesse: spannender Artikel über Personenüberwachung in China. Von sowas oder gar mehr (Palantir) träumen auch in Europa sicherlich viele. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/w...

I admire our government's new commitment to honesty.

If American democracy fails, everything people here care about - Gaza, climate change, spelling reform, whatever - gets worse. (Just ask the people now dying in Africa.) So prioritize your voting as if you're a reasoning, capable adult, and not a single-issue child holding your breath.

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.

Die Lawra ist einer der bedeutendsten Orte für das orthodoxe Christentum und UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe. In der Nacht stand das Kyjiwer Höhlenkloster in Flammen, weil Russland die ukrainische Hauptstadt massiv und rücksichtslos angegriffen hat. Dem Kreml-Regime ist nichts heilig.

That’s the perfect name for this time of oligarchs: “the Re-Gilded Age.”

The key to democracy is showing up in large numbers

Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.

The meme has been marinating all these years, waiting for exactly this

I too think more networks should run "pro-America content" like handy explainers on the constitutional limitations on the president's powers and the independence of Congress

A lot of our political discourse would be easier if we didn't extend good faith to people who would never extend it back.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

Trump claims ICE's Minnesota raids — which have already killed two Americans — are justified to root out "fraud." Meanwhile, he's pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters, including several who gave money to his campaign and Super PAC. The "law and order" president.

Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives. Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.

Something I always wondered is how it would be covered if America became a dictatorship This is it

In a sense, the point is that the lie is obvious. If the situation were more ambiguous, defending the shooter wouldn't send as clear a signal. They're telling ICE "you will be protected even in clear cut cases of cold-blooded murder, at least if the victim is considered an undesirable."

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

And I just think you have to understand that about these people, they're barely capable of formulating the question "why should I do this?" - the fact that other people don't want them to but they can and therefore they're demonstrating their power over them by so doing, that's it, that's enough.

Add a generous helping of cruelty to the wrapping and you have this entire administration, top to bottom, neatly summed up.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

He should have added “but if you cowards aren’t willing to enforce the law, what good is it?”

@attackerman.bsky.social's destruction of Bari Weiss here is so vicious because it is so spectacularly well-informed; this one is an earner, folks www.forever-wars.com/watching-bar...

something very important for Dems to realize is that the tech overlords are not people you can win back by promising a lighter touch and saying a few nice things they’ve gotten a taste of mask-off fascism and they are not going back, they don’t want to play nice with the peons anymore

A podcast asked me to record a voice note about my prediction for 2026 and here it is.

ALT-Text: Schauerliche Hände von Untoten krallen nach einer halbzerfetzten Erdkugel; Würmer fressen Handstumpen; überall sind Finger, einfach sehr viele gierige Finger, die grabbelig aalig nach einem dreckigen Klumpen schnappen. (Unter allen hässlichen Preisen ist das wohl der hässlichste)

Can't even imagine how much Trump, Miller and Noem wish they were able to pull this off in the Land of the Free.

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

They went pretty seamlessly from demanding we have to effusively honor Charlie Kirk's legacy to mainstreaming Nick Fuentes.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Missing the days when, if a scary masked man approached us on the street, WE pepper sprayed HIM, not the other way around.

Pregnant Women, DON’T TAKE PARENTING ADVICE FROM A CONVICTED FELON WHO OWNED A TEENAGE BEAUTY PAGEANT AND HAS SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT TO HIDE THE FACT THAT HE WAS BEST FRIENDS WITH THE MOST NOTORIOUS CHILD RAPIST IN MODERN HISTORY.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

just looking around at politics everywhere and a HUGE advantage Mamdani has is that he isn't obviously a fucking freak
