🔥 “Answer the question, Tommy — I think you’re the one who needs to read the constitution, not me.” @abdulelsayed.bsky.social skillfully handles a bigoted Islamophobic heckler and exposes him as the true religious zealot in the room.

Look…screw this guy. He sucks. But this video cuts off the “We’re not gonna let that happen. We protect our cities.” I’m of the mind that it doesn’t matter- it’s a scandal to even refer to such a thing. But it’s disingenuous to suggest that he’s saying he wants it to happen. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Just checking in on how this is going

If Collins is voting No, they already know it’s sewn up and they have enough votes. When it doesn’t count, count on Collins.

18 hrs. ago, Credit @huffpost.com "A LA man gave an impassioned speech calling out state Republicans for their racist gerrymander. “I believe the country as a whole is rebuking your party. Y’all are in a death spiral,” he said. “That’s why y’all have to redistrict. That’s why y’all have to cheat.”

And if you show this clip to them, or their shitty consultants, they'll take notes and focus-group it and determine it's effective and then send out a memo instructing members to say "wah wah" a lot because people love "wah wah," like "wah wah" specifically is the thing about it that was good.

I saw a license plate today "RDEEMR" and I thought they must really love coupons.

This is incredible @michaelfdubois.bsky.social

The exact same election rules are now in place when Republicans won the presidency, house and senate in 2024. But now suddenly Republicans are unable to win another election without the SAVE Act because everyone has been cheating. Makes sense.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Finally beat #cairn tonight! @thegamebakers.com really put together an outstanding piece of art here. I must be a little slower than others- about 25 hours (hltb puts it around 15-21) but I got a lot of apparently rare achievements so I guess I was pretty methodical. I want more!!

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

Trump shifting focus to invasion of Italy after Domino’s Pizza order takes 35 minutes to arrive.

This sounds awful and we need details from the Administration ASAP. In the meantime, I agree with @smith.senate.gov - ICE should immediately withdraw from Minneapolis to deescalate.

Imagine yourself in his shoes. Heartbreaking.

If you post lame ass "this" gifs, insta block. It lowers the signal to noise ratio of every thread.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

2nd in line to the presidency, yet consistently has no idea what’s happening in the country

Trump is throwing 15 million Americans off health care. He's doubling premiums for 20 million Americans. Now, he's refusing to use a $5 billion emergency SNAP fund to keep 16 million kids from going hungry. But the 1% keep $1 trillion in tax breaks. Oligarchy in action.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Republicans: Mass shootings: “it’s the price of freedom. Send thoughts and prayers” Homelessness: “Deploy the National Guard”

It's bizarre but unsurprising to see so many people waiting with bated breath to see what Ghislaine Maxwell will say to get a pardon whilst ignoring the testimonies of the many women she exploited in a massive sex trafficking operation linked to Trump.

Trump logic: 🧍‍♂️ Kid loses fight in Applebee’s parking lot → Deploy the 82nd Airborne 🇺🇸 Capitol under siege → Order more Diet Coke

Want to see something really insane? Look at this website for USGS's Water Science Centers and Regions and see how many of their directors have "Former Employee" after their names. Everyone's gone! My best friend from grad school was one of them. Who's monitoring floods, droughts, etc?

They were gonna name him Dave until Joseph stepped on a Lego.

This you, Gym?

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment: Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand; Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;
