Trump at the Supreme Court sitting through oral arguments? Easy "prediction market" bet that he falls asleep.

Trump just raged at our NATO allies for refusing to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz and bail him out of the fiasco he created. He threatened to withdraw from NATO with childish insults. This is best seen as an admission of serious political weakness. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2080...

Trump Erupts in Fury Over His War Failures—and Exposes a Big Weakness

His rage at NATO is actually an admission that he needs our allies’ help—and that he wants somebody to blame as his war goes from bad to worse.

This Olympic opening ceremony is nice and all, but nothing will ever compare to the Paris Olympics where they commemorated that time they executed their monarchs and nobility.

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

No, I don't know what they did. But I have a lot of experience with the senator

Oh now they decide to take the 4K Couple out of frame. You bastards!

PodKATT@podkatt.bsky.social · 7mo ago

ESPN, you cowards

Wait there was a cameraperson there the whole time and only decided to adjust the frame when the 4K Couple found out and decided to turn around and have their moment?! BOOO!

Lol they just saw themselves in a screenshot on his phone omg

Holly Anderson 🍇@hollyanderson.bsky.social · 7mo ago

this lady keeps holding her phone up high enough to be seen but JUST low enough that we can't read her texts

Can't believe no one has texted the ESPN 4K couple to let them know. The Miami fan woman on the left knows tho. She never turns sideways.

ESPN 4K about to make some couple at the game famous. For their sake I hope this night doesn't devolve into an argument. #cfb

The time of possession disparity talk is reminding me of this, and Hendon Hooker, from 2021. #CFB

Clear-eyed, fact-based, and written to explain to normies. No “both sidesing.” No “Trump officials disagree.” No gaslighting that what we can see with our own eyes might not be true. This is journalism. Well done, @people.com

People Magazine is incredibly clear eyed about ICE being a terrorist organization. I’ll probably buy a subscription because of it:

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...
