SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know

SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏

Republican political theory: everyone to the left of hunting the poor for sport is a communist.

"I could have a bowel movement behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room,” O'Mara said, “and nobody would know.” Great party trick! Wondering if RFK and JD are rehearsing that one

O'Mara: “Animals in the wild have no residual stool on their anus.” He says the perfect poo is "odorless, wipe-free, over in three to seven seconds and 'nearly orgasmic.'" So he gets off on pooping.

Sean O'Mara, the doctor advising RFK Jr and Vance on their diets, swears by the Bristol Stool Chart and brags that his poo is consistently "Type 4 (“smooth, soft, like a snake”), with pointed ends, indicative of healthy rectal function" “When you start eating healthy, you don’t need toilet paper"

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

Here's a supercut from Abdul El-Sayed's first post-primary news conference:

Every American should be clear-eyed about the fact that our lives have been a total nightmare under the Republican Party. #Pinks

That was a nail biter, but Abdul El-Sayed did it! Let's hope Michigan does the right thing in November 🤞

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.

Hey, the yellow journalists at USA today got the memo from their pedophile king.

University of Michigan voters have a 100% El-Sayed precinct right now.

“Crossing the line” between peaceful protest or impeding law enforcement agents? Article is a good primer on what is currently going on with our government’s reaction to protest and the use—and overuse—of an old Civil-War era law #DV1 www.npr.org/2026/08/03/n...

She protested ICE raids. Then agents showed up at her door

The Justice Department is using federal conspiracy charges to sweep up ICE protesters. Some legal experts worry the agency is casting too wide a net to prosecute political activists.

Every vote to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general is a vote to continue the coverup of the Epstein Files.

"Some might wonder what's so wrong with Mamdani playing economic Russian roulette with a handful of grocery stores." Put another way: Some might question how pouring millions of dollars down the drain might waste money. This piece is full of unsupported, loaded BS like this. 🙄 👇

Probably would've been nice to know this before the 2024 election, but sure

As the parent of a kid heading to university on another continent, this newsletter by comedian Josh Gondelman hit me in the feels. (Does anyone say that anymore? No? Sorry.) The rest is fun, too, but if you're feeling sad/anxious about a kid leaving the nest, scroll down to "Pep Talk for a Reader."

This week's newsletter is about how people want art that their brain can chew on, at least a little bit, and also how not all hard feelings are good (but some really are)!

Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) just tweeted that his ex-son-in-law Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) "needs serious psychological help." Read @abbyvesoulis.bsky.social blockbuster investigation that broke the Miller story wide open www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It's ok to release a man's private diary, but not court ordered release of Epstein docs?? Explain it.

ICE agents threatened to beat up a Seattle small business owner, married to a citizen, with NO criminal record unless he signed a "voluntary" departure. I'm told there were cameras in the room. I'm demanding any video and that Eduardo be brought home immediately.

Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov · last wk.

On Thursday, ICE needlessly detained Eduardo Aguirre Esparza, a local Seattle small business owner with no criminal history. This is a man who is married to an American citizen and with deep ties to our local community who was working hard to pursue a legal pathway to lawful permanent residence.

Having a negative opinion of Dr. Fauci is such an easy litmus test you can use to wholesale dismiss someone’s opinions and never take anything they say seriously again

Texans, vote for Gina Hinojosa! She hangs out with Willie, she doesn't want to kill pregnant women and force feed Christian sharia law down your throats. It's time to push Greg right on out of the governor's mansion in Austin.

When DumpyDoo won the election in 2024, I said, "There goes our food supply." It's not that shit like this hasn't happened before. It's that it's going to keep getting WORSE.

Six weeks of silence. Then an unsigned “doctor’s statement.” No named physician. No public appearance. And a photo that again looks suspiciously artificial. If this is meant to reassure people, it’s doing the opposite. 🤨 #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AAN94ktM1R12...
