Woke up. Went to the kitchen. Made breakfast and coffee. Sat down at the table across from the 14 yr old. Nonchalantly, she says, “He’s not dead yet, I checked.” I love that kiddo.

Every morning he wakes up is another performance review for the Grim Reaper.

I will put paper maps back in my car if that’s what it takes. I’m an old, I can navigate by the fucking sun and stars if I have to.

Headline: Trump lowers beef prices by suspending the tariff he said didn’t raise beef prices, angering the ranchers he said the tariff was protecting.

Looks like she’s toast. AES’s lead is just getting bigger as the final day of voting looms. And after that horrible, toxic, bigoted post she made the other day, she deserves a decisive defeat.

My first thought was that Beelzebub’s bringing his minions home but his aim is off. He’s getting the accomplices - Graham, McConnell - but not the felonious boss.

Don’t lie. This was your first thought too, right?

Taking the birthright citizenship case AT ALL was a fucking disgrace to the whole profession

It’s funny how all the criticisms of Democratic socialism end up sounding like endorsements

Good morning! I stole this earlier. There’s less algae in President Obama’s reflecting lake than tRUMP’s pool. He beats tRUMP, again.

Reagan got two things right: 1) his views on immigration and who gets to be a “real American.” 2) his correct read on Gorbachev at a time when many advisers and the overall conservative foreign policy community were telling him it was wrong. Everything else in his two terms, not so much.

Today in History: June 12, Reagan urges Gorbachev to ‘tear down this wall’

Indeed, and it’ll likely get worse before there’s a chance to start making things better.

Congratulations to everyone who said it would get this bad. Your prize is watching everyone who disagreed now claim no one could have predicted it would get this bad.

The American drawdown is a cultural divorce as well as a military one.

"When you suggest my garage should house one less Bentley, or my neighbor Mr. Epstein should own an island a few hectares smaller, so that fewer Americans might go hungry, know this is as violent a hate speech as has ever been wrought on any religious or ethnic minority in this country's history!"

The very instant people turn out & successfully vote for a change candidate, the GOP eliminates the whole office.

There should be a law passed, and enforced, that we will no longer have for profit prisons of any kind! Ever again! Incentivized incarceration should be a crime against humanity and should be retroactively enforced! They know what they are doing is wrong!

Gotta love a dose of Cassie kween first thing in the morning. More effective than the coffee to which I’ve spent the last 5 decades building up tolerance.

🚨 Billionaires are buying up the news to support their friends the politicians pitching our world into chaos & war. Then they jump onto their superyachts accountable to nobody. @ledbydonkeys.org tracked down the superyacht owned by the world’s 6th richest man, Larry Ellison, The Trump Propagandist‼️

This plan by the felon’s administration is just disgraceful. What’s infuriating is the degree to which the Republicans in our congressional delegation aren’t fighting tooth and nail to keep NCAR intact.

This should be the biggest weather and climate news on your radar today. You can send an email today to say why dismantling NCAR is a bad idea for everyone: NSF_NCAR@nsf.gov

JfhC, maybe this *is* the hill upon which they’re willing to sacrifice the filibuster. If that happens, it’s a tell that they believe the SAVE Act really will keep them in power through the midterms and beyond.

Texas Tribune@texastribune.org · 7mo ago

Sen. John Cornyn announced he supports scrapping the filibuster if needed to pass a voting restrictions bill, a marked change from his longtime support of the procedural tool as he courts the endorsement of President Donald Trump.

The Dunning-Kruger War is what historians should call this. It only makes sense once you realize that the felon literally does not know what he’s doing or why and lacks the mental faculties to grasp the consequences that may follow. His civilian staff and cabinet seem to be on about the same level.

Hmmm… could it be that there’s more to this Marx fellow than we thought?

But we all know that this AI push is really an attempt to replicate past systems of slavery and peonage. Massa is getting nervous because the machines might not want to be enslaved. That’s their guilt, not mine.

Do we have a Constitution anymore, or is it just optional? Because if it’s the second thing it opens up a lot of options about what to do with these guys

Rand Paul will squeal a little but that’ll be about all we’ll hear in opposition to this clear Constitutional and statutory violation from the Cuck Caucus.

Will Bunch@willbunch.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Nothing that happens in this war matters more than the fact this is the worst violation of the Constitution in U.S. history, an illegal war crime Unless Congress impeaches Trump this weekend, and it won’t, then we are a dictatorship, full stop

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote. Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

I didn’t bother to watch it because it wasn’t in the original German.
