Uncle Ver In The Morning

North Korea is a democratic republic. Literally in the name of the country!

"And then the nurse puts a spoon in the applesauce and brings it up -- and here's what confuses most people -- she says it's an airplane. An airplane! And she tells you to open up the hangar, but what they don't tell you is your mouth is the hangar. But I knew! And I opened my mouth like a big boy!"

How many people could even CONCEIVE of doing this, let alone do it and so brilliantly on a primetime TV show. ORSON WELLES transforms himself (that’s full costume hair & make-up) into ‘Falstaff’ on THE DEAN MARTIN SHOW (1968)

President Donald Trump's new White House press secretary appears to have tried to scrub parts of her online past before taking the role.

The trade deficit last month was $36 billion larger than the Biden average. Trump's tariffs have failed.

JON STEWART: “So in the FUTURE we WILL use A.I. to cure diseases… but right now it’s mostly murder, surveillance, and surge pricing for the McRib — What a trade! I’m getting the sense you guys might be full of shit.”

And this is why I must have a donkey

Check to see that you are still registered to vote, and keep checking.

Great to know the Pentagon hired, in Kurt Schlicter, a guy who once wrote … (*checks notes*) about overthrowing the U.S. government by force and having "a red counter-insurgency" seize San Francisco and Los Angeles. Real cheering stuff. Charming, too.

NEW EPISODE: The Department of Justice just made a major move to restore a U.S. Postal Service rule that could cripple mail-in voting in the 2026 midterms. I explain this fast-moving litigation, how we got here and what's coming that you're not hearing about. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_Fu...

i wrote this last year but there is literally no publicly available evidence that donald trump knows what a tariff actually is

The best

Sunrise, Sunday, 23 August, from Okitu Beach, Aotearoa / New Zealand. I thought I’d go portrait mode today to better frame these beautiful wild freesias that have begun to bloom on the dunes. Ata mārie / Good Morning ☀️

I see a lot of my Republican colleagues are pretending to be alarmed by the national debt. Give me a break. Those concerns would have been useful before they voted for a bloated defense budget, blank checks for a lawless ICE operation, and tax breaks for the richest of the rich.

How did they keep a straight face 🤣🤣🤣 Young Frankenstein (1974)

Worth a listen. “If I was gonna stage a coup in 2028…”

EMERGENCY EPISODE: Harmeet Dhillon just announced the DOJ will deploy 1,000 election observers for the midterms. The DOJ wants you to think this is business as usual, but I break down why this deployment is laying the groundwork for what comes after Election Day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZjB...

Fox News graphic claims falsely that the average price of gas one year ago was $4.13, lower than it is right now. It was actually $3.14!

Fox (is not) News

Truth be told👎

Trump pocketed $2.2 BILLION in 2025 while American families lost $219 BILLION to rising costs, according to a stunning new report. The numbers tell the story.

You may not be aware that the regime in this country is doing this on an ongoing basis. Consider yourself duly notified. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/12/m...

Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu

Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine has it figured out. I couldn't agree more. Fuck fascism.

Not only did they absolutely beg for this, they made it so that “merit” was synonymous with being white so now you’re stuck with precisely the kind of moron who believes that. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

MEDIA PSA: When you call it the $1.8 Billion “anti-weaponization fund” you’re helping Trump sane-wash it It’s an “insurrectionist slush fund” A “heist” or “theft” from taxpayers A “scheme” to enrich himself When you use his words you aren’t a journalist, you’re a stenographer

@whitehouse-47.bsky.social The United States of America is NOT supposed to engage in this. A RECKONING WILL HAPPEN IN NOVEMBER.

Stephen Miller's rhetoric is indistinguishable from 1939 Joseph Goebbels

Rand Paul doesn't belong in the Senate. He belongs in a Montana cabin writing manifestos on the insides of ripped open Slim Jim boxes.

🚨 NEW: A $121,617 home renovation invoice used by Ken Paxton’s defense during his impeachment trial was dated September 1, 2020. But the file’s metadata shows it was actually created a month later, on a VERY significant date. We obtained the invoice. Here’s what we found:
