OMG, how has it just occurred to me that Mike Johnson is basically Fascist Flanders
Mike Johnson downplays the impact the NFL opener will have on Trumpapalooza viewership: "The first night of NFL I think is a streaming service, so there's a paywall. I know there will be a lot of eyes on the convention."

I keep thinking about how Republicans campaigned and fundraised forever off of the Clinton administration repatriating Elian Gonzalez to Cuba, how they told Cuban-Americans for generations that only Republicans could be trusted to protect their families and friends... and here we are
Cubans living in Florida are being deported to Africa www.tampabay.com/news/2026/08...
I'm with the senator from Rhode Island. "Weird" wasn't a strong enough word. Effective immediately, we should go with "creepy" when describing these people
“Not enough people know the story about how this court got captured by a bunch of creepy right-wing billionaires,” U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse told hundreds of Iowa Democrats on Saturday. Promised to "put a lot of attention right away” on SCOTUS. laurabelin.substack.com/p/sheldon-wh...

Every day this guy does something like this and every day the same people who dress him up as a terrifying commie destroyer of civilization do a dozen things to sabotage the public good, to murder and destroy and hate and kill, and I can't anymore handle those who won't see the clear difference.
This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City. This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.
The government of the United States commits extrajudicial executions on people it considers undesirables
The victim's brother said that ICE agent approached from the passenger side of the car, stuck his hand in through the window, and opened fire. He says that ICE officers kept shooting even as the car had come to a stop and was put into park.

Pundits who frame the Supreme Court as “standing up to” Trump because a big case on the last day of the term didn’t go totally his way are either (1) stupid or (2) lying to you

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

The messaging for Democrats could be remarkably simple, if they could only see it. "Republicans can only destroy. They make nothing. They only tear down, undermine, poison, and bulldoze -- from entire news networks to, literally, the White House itself. They are pathetic, tantruming babies."
Axios: "If Paramount Skydance's deal with Warner Bros. Discovery goes through, Bari Weiss would oversee all news editorial across both CBS News and CNN."

The SCOTUS has become so bold that they went from "This is the outcome we want, so we'll pretend/twist the law to fit the decision we want to get to" to "This is the outcome we want, so we're not even going to consider lower court rationale, apply the law, or pretend like laws matters for our side."
BREAKING: In an unsigned, per curiam opinion on the shadow docket, the SCOTUS conservatives allow Alabama to use a congressional map held repeatedly by a lower court to have been enacted with discriminatory intent.
Re: art vs. conservatism. Outstanding thread filled with excellent discussion.
Can conservatives make art? Yeah maybe, but not so long as one of the core identity markers for "conservative" is open contempt for art, the artists who make it, and the craft they employ to make it, nor as long as their interaction with art is reduced to a desire to either crush or commodify it.
I know it's not considered one of the tent-poles of Kind of Blue, but it's my personal favorite. Sublime. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTwp...

Colbert is both a mensch and an actual genius. One of one. He and @maddow.bsky.social are the two best broadcasters of our time; truly in their own category. I'm angry and sad the president and the feckless suits cancelled the show but also know it's not the end.

When it comes to finding an EU anthem, the strategy of going with one of Beethoven's most recognizable bangers as opposed to commissioning some sort of new Europudding tune was a stroke of genius.
Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.
