I have greatly enjoyed watching America feel the same things I have felt about Vivek Ramaswamy since the fall of 2003

Que eso?

Trump: "The greatest ballroom ever built -- it's also a tremendous military complex with a drone port on top. Be careful. Don't fall over the edge. And only a Hispanic could survive that fall."

If Kissinger didn't have to give back his Nobel after Chile and East Timor then let no one ask this goodly man of peace to return the FIFA Peace Prize.

Trump to the UN: "Do I annihilate the Islamic Republic, and do it quickly? Do I drive them into hell?"

LOL -- Fox News cuts away from Vance's speech and a host says, "we will bring you back to this rally if he starts to make news"

We’re not too far from the day when RFK Jr. starts requiring skull measurements to verify citizenship, and Trump goes, “If your skull is the right size you have nothing to worry about,” and then SCOTUS issues the infamous “Skull Size” shadow docket, and out come the calipers.

Sept. 6, 1926: The Ku Klux Klan plays the Hebrew All-Stars in a bizarre baseball matchup in Washington, D.C. The racist and antisemitic secret order wins, 4-0. The story behind who arranged the game and why isn't spelled out in the sparse game account.

Trump is at the poker table, holding the Jack of Spades, the 9 of Hearts, the 5 of Clubs, the 2 of Diamonds, and the cover card that says "Manufactured by Bee® Playing Card Company." He also has inadvertently put the cards face up.

LOMBARDO: So I know the pastor spoke about Officer Abdelnabi-- TRUMP RALLY CROWD: *Boooooo* LOMBARDO: No. We're not booing him. He's the officer that passed away here recently

Yeah, if only. Your lips to God's ears.

Trump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."

BREAKING: Federal judge refers Trump's personal lawyer in the lawsuit against IRS for disciplinary proceedings including possible disbarment for bringing this lawsuit for an improper purpose--in other words a fraud upon the court. Judge also raised questions about Todd Blanche's ethics!

Incredible that they have this Type of Guy in Norway too, truly a universal pathology

Dexerto@dexerto.bsky.social

A Norway fan has gone viral for not taking part in their Row celebration after matches and won't do it if they win the World Cup "It’s factually wrong; they didn’t row, they sailed over the Atlantic”

No matter the field of endeavor, whether it be foreign wars, reflecting pools, crypto scams, or micromanaging player eligibility for U.S. World Cup soccer games, in the end, everything Donald Trump does turns to shit.

Proud to be an American. True patriotism is defending the Constitution, protecting our democracy, and striving for liberty and justice for all. Our country has never been perfect, but its promise is worth protecting. Happy 4th of July. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

🔥"Did Lalas enjoy an elite playing career? No. But does he do the background reading that could compensate for his relative lack of standing in a conversation with titans like Henry & Zlatan? Also no. But is he charming or funny or charismatic or otherwise magnetic on screen? Eh, no." Whew!

Alexi Lalas's broadcast career is case-in-point evidence that a White man in the US can be leagues below his competitors and still end up getting the job. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Weird? Why is being a great ex-player a requirement for sports commentary? Isn't that notion how we ended up with Joe Morgan and Drew Brees in the announcing booth? Stick to punditry, Adam....

Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social

I am actually not sure how to communicate how weird it is that Lalas is on this panel. Henry and Ibrahimovic are two of the best forwards of the past 20 years; Lalas peaked at Padova, a club that hasn’t been in Serie A since the Clinton administration www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Future President James Garfield at the first official Decoration Day, Arlington National Cemetery, May 30, 1868: "But, thanks be to God, this arena of rebellion and slavery is a scene of violence and crime no longer!"

The thing about “Bluesky is a bubble” takes is that they start with the false assumption that social media is our job or some sort of responsibility. This isn’t my job. It’s probably not yours, either. It’s not our responsibility to ruin our days on a Nazi hellsite or to talk to dummies here.

It's hard to imagine any self-respecting lawyer drafting such a thing, but then again, these shysters work for Trump.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

This is insane. The terms of DOJ's slush fund appear to transfer control of $1.8 billion beyond US government entirely. Unless I'm misreading this, that would circumvent Congress *entirely* and put the money outside of *any* constitutional and/or legal constraints ofany kind. Straight up theft.
