That wrinkled-up, prune-faced senator from Kentucky may be one of the first. But he certainly won't be the last. 🫤

Politics is literally spun until it breaks. The tortured twisting of reality is an immutable component of the current American political landscape. - News / Analysis / Opinion - No chatty DMs accepted or responded to. Don't bother trying to sell anything.
Senator Mitch McConnell is still dead, or unalive, or undead. Or maybe he's just comatose or vegetative. Or the old guy could be relaxing and watching a reality TV show. Because no one really knows for sure. Yes, it's a complete farce.
The current war, which is not really a war at all, in Iran is going to end badly bc Trump doesn't have it in him to just do what is right, and end it. The other option is to demonstrate to Iran, that the two countries are not battlefield equals. Which they are not.
Buzz Aldrin is photographed by Neil Armstrong on the moon hours after Apollo 11 landed, 57 years ago tonight, July 20, 1969. 🇺🇸 It is believed 650,000,000 people were watching the landing on television. Buzz is now 96 years old
All the people out there who wanted the FIFA 2026 World Cup to be a disaster, and for the games to be boycotted, and for ICE to round up people outside stadiums just so they could scream and shout about it, are probably unhappy right now. The universe got that part right. 😑
Here's the way around having to pretend that Mitch McConnell is not dead, if that is indeed the case. We should all agree on this point: if Mitch McConnell can't be wheeled to a podium for a live press conference to speak, then he is not competent to serve. newrepublic.com/post/213199/...
Kentucky Governor Warns He Got Calls “Suggesting” Mitch McConnell Died
McConnell has posted a photo of himself holding that day’s newspaper, but he has not provided further details about his condition.

The guns are real. Some ICE agents are inexperienced. That's a deadly mix. 🫤 www.maddoxnews.com/p/60-days-or...

If you have *real* evidence of election fraud, you file a lawsuit. But if you are a pathetic sore loser who wants desperately to believe any fiction that excuses your actual loss, you go on TV where, unlike in court, you won’t be held accountable for your brazen and ridiculous lies.
Schiff: The judge, in that decision on Monday, referred Blanche, basically, to the New York Bar Association because of his conduct. How is it possible that after being referred to the bar association for potential discipline on Monday, we’re contemplating this guy for attorney general on Wednesday?
Trump will not be president forever. And when he goes, Democrats will face a defining choice: exploit the executive machinery he has exposed, or dismantle it.
After Trump: Proposals for a Post-Authoritarian America
How Democrats can lead the charge for a new Reconstruction—if they can avoid becoming what they defeat.

The DOGE officially ended on July 4th, but the damage reeked across Federal workspaces will linger for many years to come. The credit goes to Donald Trump and his good pal, Elon Musk. - Take a bow or something. 😑
I am shocked-SHOCKED-that the nazi tattoo, ties to a Holocaust denier, a phony back story, ugly reddit posts and claims of sexual abuse made Graham Platner drop out of the race Gracelessly Worse-he made it much harder for Democrats to take the Senate The damage he caused might be incalculable
what a surprise. again, he reacted like this when the Nazi tattoo was revealed! he wasn't contrite, there was no actual acceptance or suggestion of change, it was pure entitlement and anger. All of this should have been obvious.
ALERT: Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) asks Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to provide a health update to him and to all Kentuckians
Is the US Senate getting into a bit of the Generalissimo Francisco Franco type situation with the "is he even conscious or still alive" Mitch McConnell? That old racist creep who stole a Supreme Court seat, doesn't deserve any better than that.
The same Republicans who were hysterical when asked to wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID19 have no problem wearing masks to spread their White Nationalist Christian hatred.
In 1995, astronomers pointed Hubble at a patch of sky so dark it looked empty and held it there for ten days. The image that came back contained roughly 3,000 galaxies — not stars, but galaxies — many holding billions of stars of their own. https://www.europesays.com/uk/1068619/ In December …

In December 1995, Hubble did something that sounded almost like a misuse of a great telescope. It stared at a patch of sky chosen because it looked empty.

The U.S. has been “way more divided” throughout history than it is now, argues documentarian Ken Burns. “We can't be Chicken Littles sitting around fretting about the sky is falling all the time without ... doing something about it,” he told Dasha Burns on #TheConversation. 🔗 politi.co/4eFwufA
MS NOW EXCLUSIVE: "There is no way I'm going to be intimidated." Former special counsel Jack Smith tells @nicollewallace.bsky.social why it's important for him to speak out.

BREAKING: A rare voting rights win 5-4 — SCOTUS protects mail-in ballot grace periods in 15 states. Ballots postmarked by Election Day can still be counted after arrival. This is good news, folks.
Phang: I have standing to be able to get Todd Blanche to comply with Judge Sullivan’s order, which is now telling him that on or before July 2nd, he either has to put up or shut up. He either has to bring forth unredacted files or show cause as to why he should not or cannot do so.
The Juneteenth holiday came and went without a word from the worst president in the history of the United States of America. At least he lived - down to - his reputation. What a piece of work.
The science of algae blooms. What Trump never learned in his high school science class.
Michelle Obama: The lies about your birthright, your faith, your patriotism, the outrage when you stated the biological fact that if you'd had a son that he too would be black, yet you were unflappable at every turn, always focused.
The reflecting pool is now green, the color of all the money wasted on it. Painting the bottom has apparently heated the water and accelerated algae growth. Pure Genius.
Michelle Obama is the single most educated First Lady in American history. Melania’s titties are online.
