My colleague @kylieclifton.bsky.social has a warning for those in deer-heavy areas: 'tis the season for them to be wandering into the street, particularly at dawn and dusk. www.ctinsider.com/news/article...

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

this is a damn good post from a U.S. Senator and I wish all of them could figure out how to talk like this

Giants and Jets both win on opening weekend. Zohran really is a miracle worker!

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

good to see that public contrition and self-reflection is still a thing that happens

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

You know what? People are done with Eloon and his bullshit.. #bullshit #oligarchy

I couldn't agree more.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

That there’s not a massive, credible, instant, bipartisan impeachment/25th Amendment move over these senseless and destructive Greenland threats is a sign of how broken our politics are — and especially how broken the Republican Party is.

Yes, this! ⬇️

DOJ investigating whether Denmark lied on its Greenland mortgage.

Pam Bondi is going to announce tomorrow that Jerome Powell tried to ram Donald Trump with his car

In Olney, MD, Indivisibles stage a memorial with the names of each life taken by ICE this year www.instagram.com/reels/DTYcUo...

That ICE agent got run over the same way that Trump got shot in the ear.

The left has a rhetoric problem? Renee Good was labeled a domestic terrorist before any investigation at all. That’s their approach - did it in Chicago, too. And that video doesn’t show what they think it does.

"I will not be f*cking gaslit by these people. I will not calm down the rhetoric and tone it down....Jonathan Ross murdered her." @timmiller.bsky.social on the new footage of the Renee Good shooting:

One of the most lopsided results you'll ever see in a poll, from our weekend Washington Post poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed. Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it. When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

Everyone keep a level head and remember… www.offmessage.net/p/itll-be-tr...

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

The same guy who "doesn’t want to hear about affordability" posted about his new marble bathroom 7 times last week.

🧵This horrific story is being reported all over Latin America, but not the US. Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican, was deported from the US in such a critical health condition it required an ambulance flight. He then died upon his return to Costa Rica after being detained for 8 months by DHS.

BREAKING: Both Satmar factions decide not to endorse a candidate for mayor and decry the vicious campaign against Mamdani that paints him as hostile to Jews. In letters to their community members, the Satmar leadership calls the attacks against Mamdani false and dangerous.

Goodness gracious - part 2

My feelings, exactly.

Trump hates America.

A 60 second summary of some of the biggest and best sights from #NoKings Day. Congratulations to every single organizer, volunteer and attendee👏 History.

I'm a bit confused by all the snarky comments about older, white protesters as if they somehow aren't legitimate. They actually represent a very big chunk of the population and are usually considered to be more conservative than everyone else. Isn't a good thing that they're protesting fascism?

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Eff him and the golf cart he rode in on!

Medicare, as of today, will no longer cover telehealth visits. I can’t imagine a bigger slap in the face to our patients.

And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas

No Kings, Rehoboth, DE

To me, as an Atlanticist and foreign policy guy for most of my career, that comment really stung.

I'm sure Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson will be reporting on this clear case of presidential cognitive decline, right? Right?

Trump is lying. India and Pakistan both say the United States wasn’t involved in negotiating the ceasefire.
