WE DID IT. I CANT FUCKING BELIEVED WE DEFEATED USA WE DEFEATED A COUP WE DEFEATED META WE DEFEATED EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO SILENCE BRAZILIA PEOPLE LULA WON GUYS. THE PEOPLE WON.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Some cities it's just not worth fucking with

🇺🇦🙏 Soldier, who was evacuated by drone for the first time in history, spent 491 days in a row at the position, - Suspilne. ▪️Konstiantyn Vlasenko held a position in a concrete drainage pipe. After the death of his comrade, he was left alone.

This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

this one is def in the running for best campaign ad of the season!

Just another day in the Presidency as directed by Fellini.

‘But I got road salt exempted from Trump’s tariffs’ is really the perfect way to sum up Susan Collins during the Trump era. While he does hundreds of things to hurt Mainers, she brags about one small thing she did to help her reelection, while doing nothing on the big things.

There is a suspected outbreak of the plague in Russia. Yes, you read that right. And we cannot trust RFK Jr. and the Trump administration to be prepared to deal with this. We need a Democratic public health doctor in the US Senate.

They cut down the "grandmother" tree.

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

After yesterday’s Senate hearing, it’s crystal clear that Jack Smith should be the next Attorney General.

NO FLUID was found in Nolan Wells' lungs or airways, per the autopsy report by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner. How do you die by "accidental drowning" if there is no water in your lungs?

In an Uber. Driver having loud phone conversation with someone in Spanish. A little annoying, but it happens. He hangs up. Says, “Mi hermano. La Migra.” And starts weeping.

Pretty insightful stuff here from Bret Stephens, who admits he's literally as out of touch as possible with every New Yorker alive right now. Zohran is the most popular politician in the country, Dem leadership is historically unpopular, and he's just... the opposite. And he works for the NY Times.

Friend shared this video of a man unveiling the library he hid when he fled Damascus in 2011. It’s incredible

Great way to put it. I'm stealing that line

Safe to say the people of Kentucky are not being represented properly

🚨 BEWARE of VoteSafe.org 🚨 While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.

Thanks to a crowd-funded project with Airdrie Forest Preserve neighbors, OLC contracted with Alex Roberts of Mountain Arborist to treat eight heritage Beech trees against Beech Leaf Disease. For details see our Blog www.openlandconservancy.org/olc-blog

I wish the media had the same urgency about the state of Mitch McConnell as they did for Kamala's W-2 from McDonald's in the 80s.

The gig is up in the very first sentence of the Supreme Court's per curiam opinion on the Trump ballroom (emphasis added): "In October 2025, the *federal government* started a project to replace the East Wing of the White House." They've collapsed the legislative branch into the unitary executive.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

Just a reminder: Photos of Donald and Epstein are REAL. Photos of Donald and Dolly are FAKE.

"Trump is big into renaming things. Maybe his party can rename itself the 'Trump Party,' leaving the name 'Republican' available for a new party, reflecting the spirit of Lincoln and Reagan?" A good agenda item for Trump's "midterm convention" in Dallas Sep. 9-10. open.substack.com/pub/jaynordl...

Texas just suspended 1.2 million voter registrations because Talarico is beating Paxton in the polls. And OF COURSE they won’t tell us how many of those voters come from Democratic districts. Texas isn’t a democracy. It’s a racist fascist state.

It is SO blatantly obvious everything that’s happening is because both parties are owned almost entirely by AIPAC. They don’t actually believe in anything. They’re just in it for the money. They will fritter and fetterman away your whole country.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.

It’s not “an oil deal with Venezuela.” It’s Trump kidnapping an autocrat, refusing to hold elections, then leaving the remainder of the regime in place but only if they allow him to pillage their natural resources, which they are doing to remain in power oppressing the people.

We’re not changing it.

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

It’s weird how stays that benefit Trump are always kept in place and stays that stop him are always lifted. It’s almost as if there’s some of pattern behind legal procedure at work….

Ontario Premier Doug Ford: "The red states we're gonna hit hard ... you think an insult from him [Trump] hurts me? Bring it on, buddy. You're a loser."

Ford: "I don't respond to a dictator like Trump, a bully like Trump ... I'm not gonna take any advice off a guy that's the king of bankruptcies ... your own people don't even like you. And they're gonna speak loud and clear in the midterms. If I was allowed to, I'd be down there door-knocking."

Ontario Premier Doug Ford on Trump: "I have a real estate on my ass, so he has a lot of room to kiss my ass"
