What I will never forget is Ari Fleisher posting his annual million-tweet tick tock of 9/11 for likes and Twitter followers and then becoming a registered foreign agent for Saudi Arabia.

If Jensen Huang has time to attend a $1 million-a-head dinner at Mar-a-Lago and fly across the world to meet with President Xi Jinping, he can find time to testify in front of Congress about reports that NVIDIA technology is powering Russia’s war machine.

this sentence right here is what separates humans from snakes. A reminder that once a snake forever a snake. “The good times don’t cease to have existed because the bad times came afterward,” Cohen wrote.

Zohran Mamdani is backing a bill to hold Amazon accountable for exploiting delivery drivers. Now Amazon is launching a $5M lobbying blitz — led by Chuck Schumer's daughter — to crush it. Instead of spending millions on lobbying, Amazon should pay and treat its drivers fairly.

False. Today, the administration reportedly clarified that the stores will not require ID or residency verification. Non-New Yorkers could shop there as well; a savings card may be used for inventory and bulk-purchase controls, but without proof of residency.

Taco Bell didn't grow the lettuce. Taco Bell isn't a government agency charged with keeping tabs on dangerous food borne pathogens. Taco Bell isn't a billionaire who gutted regulatory agencies last year because he's a eugenicist white supremacist madman hellbent on killing as many people as he can.

The CDC is so underfunded now that it's like: "Just remove the three outer layers of lettuce, so you don't consume any feces, then wash each interior leaf individually, so you remove any hidden feces. Good luck!"

I heard a bus full of judges was traveling across America so I got in my car and chased it to Ohio. What I witnessed was extraordinary. Inspired by Poland’s March of a Thousand Robes, retired judges walked through Columbus to stand up for the rule of law. Carlo 🐾 was a fan favorite. Watch:👇

@becketadams.bsky.social This is not only not true, you are trying to rewrite what is happening on the far right. "The last three years have seen a flurry of activity both inside and outside the political space, suggesting a shift toward ever-more extreme and revolutionary leftist activity. "

Opinion - The American left has lost its mind, and the media seem unbothered

This is not a continuation of the Democratic Party, but a hostile takeover by people who want to scrap its modern center-left ethos altogether.

Isn't it interesting that corporate (centrist) Dems are so fired up, ready for a fight with progressive Dems? Why are they not directing their ire towards the GOP & trump admin in actions not just words? I note that progressives are all named, while centrists choose to be anonymous in the article.

Well done Onion. Such an incredible work on behalf of those who suffered at the hands of the hardened criminal Alex Jones.

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

This is bombshell stuff.

Two of the richest families. the Ellisons (Paramount [CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon] + WBD + HBO + Max + CNN) and the Murdochs (Fox + Roku + Tubi) now control the news pipes AND the dominant streaming distribution. They’re shaping public opinion, elections, and political narratives.

The story is the dishonesty. If a used car salesman rips off your mother, you don’t debate him or find points of agreement among his lies. And you don’t go back expecting a different result next time. You demand accountability above all else.

Whether it's Republicans lying about the LA mayor election, or lying about screwworm, or using AI to lie about James Talarico, the Democratic instinct is to correct the record, condemn the attack and move on. It should be to weave a story about the opposition's putrid, morally corrosive dishonesty.

And of course, as expected, here come the apologists for corporate mergers, telling us how stupid we are for not understanding that this is "how things are" and what a fool Scott Pelley was to expect better of 60 Minutes leadership.

Steve Held@peoplesfabric.bsky.social · 3mo ago

So many people focused on Bari Weiss asking to make protesters look more violent and glossing over Pelley admitting they’d already dug deep for the most violent protester footage they could find. His interview is more of an indictment of corporate media than many want to admit.

Entering month 6 of Mamdani's NYC & Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, & Murder is down 21%—all without "Adding 5000 new cops." Instead, he's invested in public safety free childcare, food, and better funded schools. Safer cities come from investing in people—not punishments.

Amazon sets the routes, the quotas, the uniforms, the cameras — and then tells workers they don't actually work for Amazon. Every delivery worker in this city should be able to afford to live here and have their rights respected. Workers deserve better.

Indiana told the public it gave less than $1 million in data center subsidies in 2025. The real number? $655 million. And $561 million of that went to a single company: Amazon. While Hoosiers pay sales tax on groceries, Amazon paid nothing. This isn’t economic development. It’s a heist.
