I love you, America.

The cameras really shouldn't have been out that time of night. What were they wearing? 💀

I think this has to portend something. The Democratic establishment tried to bury El-Sayed. Twelve TIMES as much outside spending for Stevens says to me that the wealthy and the powerful tried to buy consensus instead of building it. This is one for the books, I think.

Medicare fraudster wants you to know that the hundreds of billions of dollars in total costs of an illegal war started by a tax fraudster isn't the problem, it's poor kids getting plain cheese sandwiches for free.

Rick Scott on spending: "Government is the problem. It's not the Iran war." (Who is waging the Iran war?)

Trans people make the world better, actually.

I wanted to post about this, but all that came out was a bellow of inarticulate rage. This is better.

stating that women and girls need to be protected from trans people is absolutely hate

Guys, you will know when I'm shitting on the floor behind a white sheet. That's my promise to all of you.

He refused to say anything about the man of whom "daughter lives in fear" for how long? He's known that his daughter claimed Miller abused her for over two years, but he said and did nothing. He clearly cares about the politics and not about his daughter, at all.

Moreno on Max Miller: "My daughter lives in constant fear of this man ... you can't fathom what that makes me feel like when the dad's number one job is to protect your kids... if there's any minimum standard for being an elected official, he feels to meet it. I don't care about the politics at all"

Dunno, man. I would celebrate 5 million Americans no longer *needing* a subsidy to afford food. Kicking kids off food assistance is not an accomplishment, it's a fkn sin.

Rollins: "For those who love work and celebrate work and want people to work and not be on food stamps, it's a pretty big win when we've moved 5 million people off food stamps, y'all."

Bowser Day is trending and I thought it was a Sha Na Na thing and goddammit I got got with the cartoon porn again.

I swear to gawd the average lefty voter is fkn Dory-levels of brain damaged if they can still muster up any surprise that Republicans who head fake towards acting on principle almost immediately hopped back to form. This is *always* how this goes, guys.

Live updates: Michigan, Virginia, Kansas elections underway; Todd Blanche’s nomination advances to full Senate

Follow live updates on the elections as voters hit the polls in five states. Get the latest on Todd Blanche’s Senate vote for attorney general.

This little dude has been trying to get my attention all morning.

Todd Blanche is nakedly corrupt and Donald Trump is personally directing the DOJ to persecute his enemies. Nothing Tillis is saying here holds water. This is not and never has been a both-sides issue. If it were, Donald Trump would be in a maximum-security federal penitentiary for espionage.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

Tillis: "Everybody has this view that they are as pure as the driven snow and it's the other side that has a problem. I think we both have a problem, folks. If you want to talk about weaponization, take a look at Biden, take a look at Obama, take a look at Crossfire Hurricane ... "

Ellison memory-holing the ideological destruction of CBS News and simultaneously declaring himself to be the political center. This would probably work more effectively if America hadn't been inoculated by 30 years of Fox News pretending they were the scrappy outsiders.

Hamilton Nolan@hamiltonnolan.bsky.social · yesterday

Unfortunately for David Ellison this is transparently laughable after what Bari Weiss has already done at CBS and it will be very funny if her genius moves fuck up a $100 billion merger www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/o...

The very first thing I tell new people is to be free — liberal, even! — with the block button. I try hard to be a good example.

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

This feels ominous. When Bluesky starts algorithmicallu pushing Nazis at me, I’m deleting app.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

There comes a time in every Trump administration when his sycophants start seeing the grim reality of their lives after he's gone and they stop blindly following his illegal orders.

I'm a full Professor of Immunology and fully vaccinated. I didn't get vaccinated out of obedience, but after decades of studying the immune system and evaluating all evidence. Calling that "lack of critical thinking" is not an argument. It's ideology masked as pretend intellect.

The malicious block list weirdos aren’t even trying anymore.

Trump cronies spent the last several days rehashing their lies about the COVID-19 global pandemic….

I can’t believe we’re doing another cycle of pretending to have a deal with Iran. This is so stupid.

I submit to you that I'm at most two of those things.

It's the parable of the Nazi bar. If the league doesn't step in with some strong statements about inclusion, it will go the predictable course. Next every standout Black woman playing professional basketball will be subjected to transvestigation. It's gonna be the WWNBA pretty quickly.

Not for nothing, but if either of my kids' life partners abused them — or, for god's sake, my grandchild — I would not need bail money because no sane judge would turn me loose again.

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. ⬇️

Oh, we're relitigating emergency pandemic measures like school closures and social distancing. Again. School closures saved lives. A *lot* of lives. Kids who "will never have the life they should have" didn't kill grandma and grandpa with asymptomatic COVID. That seems good, actually.

Lewis Goodall@lewisgoodall.com · 5d ago

There are working class and vulnerable kids who will never have the life they should have had because of school closures. Let’s address that too, shall we?
