As the UN Secy General says, the Euro wildfires are just an opening act to the El Nino bearing down on planet earth. It's time for smart politicians to stop climate hushing and start getting ahead of the heat. open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

High Heat, High Drama

At the start of the Civil War, there were 4 million people who were enslaved in the US. Families were separated so some members could be sold to plantations in other parts of the country, including children.

As Measles cases hit a 35 year high, as a senseless war rages on with no exit plan, as gas climbs to record highs, and the Epstein files remain secret, the U.S. Senate is holding a hearing today to yell at Dr. Fauci and again push horse dewormer on the American public.

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

Overland couple shot dead in Guatemala after local ICE stop led to deportations

The couple’s 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body in a sugarcane field last week, according to Guatemalan authorities and media.

Just saw Reading Lolita in Theran. Religion in top government policies seems like a bad idea.

🔥 Jon Stewart Defends Democratic Socialism: “When you call it SoCiALiSm, I think it’s a misnomer — It’s about strengthening a safety net for a country that has suffered too long overvaluing capital and money, and undervaluing labor and work. That’s it.”

What’s with the Senator from Missouri talking about a hammer and sickle wave? Is he watching Get Smart re-runs.

Maybe work one’s way up before running for Senator or President too. Sit in interminable meetings and listen to real people’s problems before making a power grab.

In case anyone was thinking about taking on the task of reforming politics, let’s start with not allowing people who have a history of sexual crimes or misconduct to run for office

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

Nehls on how House GOP will make case for affordability back home: Nehls: What are you talking about? I'm gonna get me lobster tails. Some nice rib eyes. Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford that? Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe they don't work as hard as me.

“no one has the right to sit in judgment about who is American enough” -Michelle Obama

🔥 Charlamagne on Josh Hokit attacking Michelle: “All you do when you bring the Obamas up is remind people what is currently missing from the White House. The Obamas set a standard for decency & class & poise & intelligence... Now that bar is in hell.”

And it is theft.

If you got AI to write your book you didn’t write your book. Stephen King wrote your book. Octavia Butler wrote your book. Jilly Cooper wrote your book. Dav Pilkey wrote your book. Lisa Jewell wrote your book. I wrote your book. Every author whose work has been digitised wrote your book. You did not

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis: “To call Ken Paxton 'ethically challenged' is to call Jeffrey Dahmer suffering from an eating disorder.”

So classy. Something the occupant of the White House could never achieve.

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!

Nothing makes someone look guiltier than forcing the Justice Department to promise never to investigate your taxes or prosecute you for anything they might find

Musk and Trump killed USAID—and they've got blood on their hands www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

How about he releases his tax records like other presidents, releases the Epstein files, and the J6 folks go back to jail and work off their debt to America? Give us at least one day of sanity.

He wants to give the J6 rioters 1.7BN of OUR tax money
