There are NEW updates in the case of the Cornell 7 as more details are revealed, including how the alleged victim stated “with 100% confidence [she] was raped”. So why did the local DA only present certain parts of her written statement? I've got the latest reporting: youtu.be/tcsZBeeJk9k?...

LMAO

How it started/how it’s going

However much you hate these guys, it's not enough.

Haley Stevens seems like an insufferable PARKS AND REC character that escaped into the real world and decided to run for political office.

It's especially galling that Haley Stevens is portraying herself as the great protector of the Jews in her campaign against a Muslim candidate, given that in 2022 she beat a wonderful Jewish Congressman in a costly primary in part by accusing him of being insufficiently pro-Israel.

Haley Stevens occupies a unique niche at the exact midpoint between The Riddler and Penguin

haley stevens is running raja krishnamoorthi’s primary campaign, but worse

This is pro-Republican election framing with the goal to shift the election from a referendum on Trump to a choice between competing visions. Don’t fall for it!! The Democratic Party is a big tent small d democratic party that manages its coalition unlike a fascist party that cannot tolerate dissent

Yikes — Haley Stevens staffer was doubling as a Palantir consultant Don’t you just hate when that happens? Who among us hasn’t accidentally hired a Palantir consultant! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Heads up: Taylor Farms lettuce is sold under these brand names: Marketside (sold at Walmart) Earthbound Farm (owned by Taylor Farms) Cross Valley Farms (owned by US Foods) Private labels for Target, Whole Foods (365), and Amazon Fresh. AVOID ALL OF THEM

BREAKING: Federal judge finds that Trump's IRS suit was improper because Trump controlled both sides of the litigation. Judge Kathleen Williams also sanctions Trump's lawyers, issues monetary sanctions, and harshly criticizes DOJ's "untenable" conduct. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

Nothing describes the cut throat nature of US right wing politics quite like being brain dead in a hospital bed, your wife didn’t cut her trip to China early to see you, the top tier of your Party is lying about conversations with you & your President hasn’t even noticed you’re missing. #uspoli

It's just like MAGA, except it wants a more tolerant, egalitarian society, where everyone has healthcare and the material prerequisites of a life of dignity. I guess from the perspective of the theater critics in media, that difference is invisible.

TMZ DC with perhaps the most brutal video from Trump's Great American State Fair, showing Dr. Oz on stage bragging to Dean Cain about how big the crowd is, only for the reporter to pan around and show absolutely nobody is there. Original post: x.com/i/status/207...

Michael Cembalest is out with his annual energy report for JP Morgan and it's full of fascinating stuff, but this graph jumps out: Trump is succeeding in stifling America's clean energy boom. Absolutely ceding the field to China.

CLUTCH PETE.

In June 2025 in Spokane, WA, at an anti-ICE protest, police did a mass arrest and took the phones of 23 protesters. They sent the phones to the FBI, who used Cellebrite on extract all of the data from them www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“We need moderates,” he says while the Trump administration rips bloody chunks out of America’s democracy and dismantles decades of progress.

Gil's whole thread is a must-read, but just adding here a key 2017 article about how Peter Thiel amassed power by cultivating a network of hundreds of Stanford Review alums, like Theodore Gillibrand - or Josh Hawley, who he boosted to the Senate. Thiel hires them, invests in them, makes them loyal.

A 22-year-old just got a $30 million investment valuing his new futures exchange at $300 million. He graduated Stanford, wrote for Thiel's Stanford Review, interned at Andreessen Horowitz. His mom? Pro-crypto Sen. Gillibrand, D-NY. Bipartisan capture in full bloom. fortune.com/2026/06/18/t...

Congrats to all the Trump shitcoin holders who lost more than a third of their value in the last month! You did it!

Once again, @brianbeutler.bsky.social is the only one I hear talking about this key dynamic: the more corrupt the GOP & its lackeys on the court get, the more they have to lose if the elections go the wrong way & the more they'll be willing to do to prevent it.

I'm not sure what else there is to say other than, y'all.....you aren't convincing literally anyone on here with your posts about a certain Senate race. Unless you live in Maine, you basically have zero control over anything that is happening there. It's just not worth going around circles about

The problem is that “I am often scared and angry about social change” does not inherently lend itself to interesting art. You can be as technically skilled as the greats, but art with nothing interesting to say is just a commodity.

All in one week. Abigail Spanberger is awful.

One thing lost in the IRS convo is that there will be a new president at some point who has every right in the world to revisit the conditions of the signed agreement. I suspect that arguments about upholding the good faith of govt contracts will be hard to hear through all the laughter.

Trump bought $1 million-$5 million worth of Nvidia stock a week before Nvidia announced a major deal with Meta. The previous month, Trump bought $500,000-$1 million worth of Nvidia stock a week before the Commerce Department approved the sale of Nvidia chips to China. www.notus.org/money/donald...

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

Jeff Bezos, who is worth over $250 billion, says it’s wrong for govt to provide moms with diapers. Fuck Bezos.

The frame for 2028 and all future elections is The American People vs The Billionaires

Fox News vs the man the American Revolutionaries were revolting against

I don't think this is at all widespread or common, but there is definitely a *particular* sort of ostensibly leftist person who loathes AOC as an unprincipled sellout but is willing to carry water for a nakedly antisemitic, xenophobic oppurtunist

Democrats tell us all the time they can’t do things because the parliamentarian wrote it down in invisible ink while republicans just do stuff. And the only response is to vote harder next time. I’m fucking tired.

Brent crude oil to be delivered in June jumps 6.2% to $125.36 early Thursday as stalled U.S.-Iran talks raise doubts over the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a permanent end to the Iran war.

oh my god, Gritty

James Tibbs III hits #11

The obvious solution is a national law that mandates fair, objective redistricting everywhere, but *conservatives do not want that*. To be subject to the same rules as everyone else -- as all the lesser people -- is inherently offensive to them. (All I ever do is restate Wilhoit.)

Putin is paying people to disrupt renewable energy projects & drive polarization around net-zero goals in Europe. Luckily, I'm sure he would never pull anything like that in the US, so we're probably fine.

RFK Jr: President Trump has invested more in trying to transition off glyphosate than any other president HASSAN: When & how did he do that? He signed an order to increase production of it for weapons and herbicide, and he granted immunity to the huge corporation who produces it. You once sued them
