Just once I'd like to see leftists respond to a Democratic primary victory by actually reaching out to their opponent's supporters instead of trying to bully them into falling in line because they have nowhere else to go. Maybe it'll happen this time. So far, my replies have not been encouraging.

The Senate has confirmed nearly 60 Trump-nominated election deniers to the judiciary. The attorneys who prosecuted the Jan. 6, 2021 rioters want them to stop. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I’ll eat a Spring Roll in the middle of Summer, cuz that’s the kind of badass that I am.

I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️

El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250

I’m one of the 20 million Americans Republicans threw under the bus. My family’s health insurance went from $1,700/month to over $3,000/month. REPUBLICANS DID THIS‼️ #RepublicanMedicareCuts

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

I spoke with 10 CNNers about David Ellison's essay in The NYT, in which he tried to convince the public he'll be a good steward of CNN. Suffice to say, no one at the network is buying what he's selling. “We all have eyes and ears and see what’s happening at CBS." www.status.news/p/david-elli...

The Ellison Credibility Crisis

The Paramount boss tried to convince the public he can be trusted with CNN. But staffers inside the network torched his Times essay in brutal comments to Status, pointing to his disastrous record at C...

0.000001% of female athletes are transgender. 1/15 female athletes will be sexually assaulted by a male coach. Shouldn't he be promoting a complete ban on male coaches in women's sports? Of course not, because he actually doesn't give a shit about women's safety.

Did we ever find out if the A is for Asshole?

At the risk of ruining my mentions, I want to remind my centrist friends that “vote blue no matter who” also applies when Dems nominate a leftist. We need to be single focused on winning back the Senate. We cannot do that without Michigan.

Your periodic reminder that Velvet Goldmine is back on Criterion Channel, rightfully under the "Rock biopics that don't suck" category.

The piss tank on the ISS is now 7% full.

Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.

💥 Israel is burning the forests of Wadi al-Slouqi and Houla in South Lebanon. Not military targets. Forests, valleys, hills and entire ecosystems. Environmental crime & deliberate erasure of a piece of Lebanon’s natural heritage. 8/4 @sarahabdallah.bsky.social

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

Voted 🗳️ Don’t forget to take your ballots to a drop box by 8pm today, Seattle.

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

No matter who wins tonight's primaries in Michigan, the state Democratic party is launching a rally for all of the top nominees on Friday in Detroit. Pete Buttigieg will join the event - seeking to unify, after a blistering fight between Abdul El-Sayed & Rep. Haley Stevens

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

One thing about this Max Miller story that I don't see much talked about is the way he seems to have surreptitiously taped his wife and daughter for many years. In a way, it's even creepier than the violence allegations.

This sucks ass. When I start my car I want to be able to put my foot on the pedal and drive off. I dont want to watch an ad. A distracting ad. Right in the middle of my console. Again. This sucks ass.

Hegseth's ineptitude and lack of transparency means that 4 civilians were killed in an medevac plane during a military electronic warfare exercise and we dont hear about it!!!

The U.S. military accidentally killed everyone on a civilian medevac plane.
