IRAN, IF YOU'RE LISTENING, WE EXPECT YOU TO PICK UP ALL MINES YOU HAVE PROBABLY NOT PLACED BUT MAYBE HAVE. ONCE YOU TELL US THE HORMOOSE STRAIT IS CLEAR OF MINES, WE WILL TRUST YOU, AND IF YOU'RE LYING WE WILL KNOW BECAUSE MINES ARE KNOWN TO BE VERY EASY TO SEE. SO EASY. WILL SEND JARED TO INSPECT.
Not a problem! Any dog pic is amazing. Plus I'm sure you are very interesting.
1. Yesterday, Joe Rogan called transgender people perverts and school shooters to his audience of tens of millions of people.
It was his most overt display of transphobia yet.
Democrats wanted to court this man and his listeners.
The latest from our journalist, S. Baum.
Grifting everything!
She knew what she was doing for sure.
“Republicans supposedly worship at the cult of the Founders, but they do not actually venerate the Founders’ beliefs and democratic principles.”
The authority that Trump has asserted in taking America to war against Iran is, like many of his other power grabs, an expression of the very tyranny the Framers were seeking to prevent. “Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object,” a young congressman named Abraham Lincoln wrote in 1848. This was “understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us.” This quote, incidentally, is immortalized on the House’s website, if any members of Congress are looking for it.
The design of the Constitution divided warmaking authority between Congress and the executive to prevent a president to take the country to war by themselves for any petty or self-serving reason. You know, like a king would. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.
Definite worth reading.
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
“Dozens of people, probably most of them children, were killed in a strike that hit a girls’ elementary school in southern Iran.” NO WAR WITH IRAN

You'll understand our campaign more from this launch video than anything else. We gave it our heart and soul. Give it a watch.
The White House posting a fake AI video of a gold medal athlete would be an insane scandal in the old times. www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...
They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
They found him. He died.
Another murder by our immigration goon squads
it sure is a choice to look at a political landscape in which the government is actively attempting to erase trans people from existence and publish a Singal victory lap in furtherance of that goal
WTF is he talking about? Focused on "table top issues", like letting the gays get married was just a fucking distraction? "Culturally normal." So status quo. Gotcha Gavin.
it's going to be a major political project for the rest of our lives to remind the goldfish brained american electorate every 2 years what the conservative definition of "criminal" actually is
And yet it’s even more dumb: Both hospital ships are in dry-dock in Alabama, so they won’t be arriving anytime soon.
This is a weird distraction from the Danes medically evacuating a sick US sailor from a US Navy nuclear sub yesterday 9 miles from Nuuk. What was a sub doing nine miles from Nuuk?
I would never get any work done. What a cutie pie!
this seems like an argument for enjoining them in the first place while you wait for the decision rather than doing nothing because the president is your friend.
There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange
so we paid the tariffs and now the corporations that passed the costs on to me and you are the ones that are going to be reimbursed, do i have that correct
There are considerably more Epstein victims than trans athletes and yet the latter was central to one party's election strategy for multiple cycles.
Has anyone in the Epstein Files who didn’t do anything wrong been punished? Maybe someone who was at a meeting Epstein was at. Never went to the island, didn’t get money from him, nor had a bunch of friendly emails.
Anyone get arrested, fired, etc.? Because moral panics feature that sort of thing.
Texas State Representative James Talarico did not appear as scheduled on "The Late Show" on Monday, and Stephen Colbert addressed his absence in a segment he was strongly advised against. "He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network's lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast," Colbert said of Talarico, a Democrat.
Full on North Korea-Iran-Russian style censorship right here in the US. This is the Trump admin saying ‘no Democrats on TV’ & the Ellison’s & Bari Weiss saying sounds good to us. Truly terrifying times.

A lovely piece from @joshgondelman.bsky.social about his marriage to one of my fav book people @maris.bsky.social!
