If I had one wish, I'd ask to be a fly on the pearly gates. A whole lot of very old Republicans who gave up even the pretense of standing for anything in return for money and power are all going to get some very bad news as those gates. I'd be willing to be a fly if it meant I could see their faces.

When the state of the country gets me down, I soothe myself by remembering that every day we get through takes us 24 hours closer to the inevitable day when we'll get the huge headline we've been waiting for.

If you thought John Mitchell or Bill Barr were bad… just you wait.

Everyone’s expectations got skewed over the past week but Abdul El-Sayed getting $70 million spent against him in a state he lost a primary by like 20 points eight years ago and still winning last night is probably the most impressive electoral accomplishment of the decade.

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.

So, does Pirro still have a job?

"Bessent: US could reach deal with Iran to reopen strait of Hormuz by tomorrow" -Guardian headline "Could" is such a great, and near meaningless word. Besent "could" do up his genital area with clown make-up, cleverly arranged so his wiener is the clown's nose, by tomorrow. See? Great word.

Irrelevant slab of expired alligator jerky threatens party with good time.

I prefer presidents who don’t have their accounts closed over money laundering concerns.

“For a long time,” Chan says, “misogyny was dealt with as a domestic issue within the family home or within personal relationships. There needs to be an understanding that this is a public safety threat.” @cultmtl.com cultmtl.com/2026/07/trea...

Treat incels as the violent extremists they are

Misogynistic incel subculture — elements of which have become disturbingly mainstream — is a serious public safety threat.

The proposition that the president of the United States is an adjudicated rapist isn't an argument. It is a fact.

Whatever spin you put on the McConnell situation, one thing is absolutely clear; 49 missed votes and zero communication; Mitch doesn't give one tiny little shit about his constituents, and he never has. My guess is he's been dead for some time, but it's not like he'd care less if he was alive.

BEHOLD, THE SUPERIOR GENETICS OF THE MASTER RACE!! IS THAT A YOUNG ELVIS ASCENDING THE STAIRS TO AIR FORCE ONE?! BE STILL, MY PALPITATING HEART!!!

It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Add two more corpses to the Musk/Trump corpse mountain. For Trump, he just loves big numbers. For Musk, I think he has a plan to make his corpse mountain so big he can climb it to Mars.

US cyclosporiasis outbreak kills two people in Michigan, officials say

US sees first fatalities due to intestinal illness, though both had significant ​underlying health conditions

Christians should be banned from playing sports. Jesus provides them with additional strength, which gives them unfair advantage.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... So MAGA (there's no GOP anymore) Is gonna confirm a man as AG who has quite literally broken the law every single day since becoming acting AG. I guess that pairs well with a boss found guilty of 34 felonies. MAGA isn't soft on crime. They're hard for it.

Republican holdouts say they will back Todd Blanche for attorney general

Move comes after Blanche gives senators written assurance he will drop Trump’s $1.8bn anti-weaponization fund

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

The “Why would a woman I’ve made worry that I will hurt her if she displeases me cook to placate me?” question is only asked by the least self-aware domestic abusers.

I'm glad for this outcome, but... Jason Blanche breaks the law every day. Every single day. Why would we assume that because he wrote something down, he'll do it? It's not even legislation. It's just a statement from him that something isn't going to happen. And his statements aren't worthy shit.

wow i can't believe that mitch mcconnell died tomorrow

Max Miller released audio recordings of conversations he has with his ex wife. In one of them, she accuses him of clandestinely recording their conversations. “I have never recorded our conversations” he says, while recording their conversation. This is domestic violence. Ask me how I know.

Is Mitch McConnell still dead?

The man endorsed by Sarah Huckabeast in this video is Arkansas state Rep. Austin McCollum. McCollum was arrested today on charges of aggravated assault against a family or household member, first-degree false imprisonment, and third-degree domestic battery. www.nwaonline.com/news/2026/au...

So I'm pretty sure I already now the answer, but Pirro won a single case since Trump appointed her?

Anyone care to make the argument that this ISN'T a reason for Pirro to be disbarred?

"You don't charge first and then figure it out. You get the information first and then charge. ...So it's a true embarrassment for Jeanine Pirro. It's a true embarrassment for DOJ. And they brought it on themselves."

Navalny, in prison: “I don’t for a second regret it… the only thing we should fear is we’ll surrender our homeland to be plundered by a gang of liars, thieves & hypocrites. That we will surrender without a fight, voluntarily, our own future and the future of our children.”
