Platner’s sexting scandal has been a bat-signal for misogyny among certain “progressive” men. Ken Kippenstein called his critics and other mainstream Democrats “smoothgroins.” Kyle Kulinski said Platner could sext his mother. I wrote about it all here: www.liberalcurrents.com/the-men-defe...

Scottish soccer fans in town for the World Cup made a side-trip to Fenway on Sunday and brought actual magic with them. It was such a delight and honor to get to accompany their singing.

So we're lifting sanctions, lifting the blockade, unfreezing Iranian assets, AND backstopping $300 billion in reconstruction funds for Iran, all to get them to reopen a waterway that was open and free to the world 15 weeks ago. Art of the deal. 🙄 www.cnbc.com/2026/06/12/i...

Proposed Iran-U.S. deal would reopen Hormuz strait and lift oil sanctions, Iran state media says

U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday that the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened as soon as a deal is signed.

These are 200 miles apart.

These aren't necessarily indicators of an impending economic collapse. But they're certainly indicators of real strain in the system, and help explain why consumer sentiment is now even lower than it was during COVID or the Great Recession of 2008-09.

Between this and Katie Miller beefing with Paulina Mangubat, the GOP is doing a great job this week of highlighting young hot Democratic women. I mean, Rupert Murdoch should have to declare the NY Post's publication of this photo as an in-kind contribution to Talarico's campaign.

Wembanyama holy shit. 🤯

Every poll that's currently included in RCP's rolling average for Trump's approval rating has him underwater by double digits. Every single one. Even the ones like Rasmussen, Daily Mail, RMG, and HarrisX that normally have a substantial pro-Trump house effect compared to the rest.

A big tell that the GOP and its media allies know that the Trump/Blanche slush fund is absolutely toxic -- I've seen NO coverage of it anywhere on Fox. I've been checking Fox's website periodically since yesterday, and I've seen no coverage of it anywhere. /1

This is just straight-up bad faith by @nytimes.com. And before you "What's new?" or "You just now noticed?" me, yes, I'm aware this isn't the first time. But the Times has also done a lot of good reporting during Trump 2.0, so we know they're capable of it. Here they just chose not to.

Joe Adalian@tvmojoe.bsky.social · 4mo ago

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.) But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

‼️ WOW. The arrest of Don Lemon is barely two hours old and it's already becoming a MAJOR scandal. If you've got two entire offices of career prosecutors refusing to pursue charges, you know it's a *complete* sham. In any sane world, Pam Bondi would be out as Attorney General by COB today.

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Breaking on MS NOW: Career DOJ prosecutors in both Minnesota and Los Angeles refused to be involved in charging Don Lemon and the other journalists who covered the Minneapolis church protests. The prosecutors believe the evidence does not support the charges, per @carolleonnig.bsky.social.

Interesting data point. Hanover County, VA is a reliably GOP county north of Richmond. Trump won 62-63% of the vote there all three times he's run for president. And even *they* don't want DHS in their backyard. www.virginiascope.com/hanover-want...

If you paid attention to what Nichols is actually saying, you'd know he's saying it's not the 19-year-old barista that's the problem, but actual Democratic candidates and officeholders saying these things that's the problem. In a nationalized media environment like we have now, that means... /1

jamelle@jamellebouie.net · 12mo ago

the reason this discourse will never end is because it is completely untethered from any kind of evidentiary standard. as long as there is a 19-year-old barista somewhere saying “cultural appropriation,” guys like nichols will complain that “democrats” use alienating language.

They decided any physical fitness standards would be too woke.

Jesus Christ, @nytimes.com, this is pathetic. And it's not going to get better for you. Nothing will change the fact that you failed basic standards of journalism by laundering a tabloid hit piece based on stolen data from a white supremacist and eugenicist. Time to own up and apologize.

What an absolute humiliation for the @nytimes.com. And it's *completely* self-inflicted.

capitolhunters@capitolhunters.bsky.social · last yr.

The saga of the NYT's anti-Mamdani story taken from notorious white supremacist Jordan Lasker (they call him an "academic") gets even more amazing: Lasker's only impactful paper, which claimed white people are smarter, is infamous: it misused data so badly it got his tenured co-author fired. 2/

A tale of two Independence Day messages. Maybe you disagree with Zohran Mamdani's politics, that's fine. But he is and always will be a better patriot, a better American, and a better man than Donald Trump can ever hope to be. /1
