It's been 39 days since anyone has publicly seen Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). I asked his office for any updates on his mysterious health condition or his plans to return to the Senate, and got... a statement from 11 days ago. www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...

Looks like Dustforce to me.

Beshear on McConnell: "I'm concerned. I get that we all have a right to privacy for our health, but when you run for an office like mine or Sen. McConnell's you answer to the voters. If you're in the hospital for an entire month, you owe it to the people who elected you to give them an update."

Lindsey Graham achieves lifelong goal of dying in office.

One of the legacies of Lindsay

RIP Lindsey Graham. You taught me it was okay to be a coward whose only skill is debasing myself until death for a tiny, ultimately illusionary crumb of power.

Indeed. We are not forcing upon Graham the memory of him being a villain, a coward, and a malignant presence in the country; that was the legacy he chose again and again. He earned our contempt, as has everyone else on his path.

Lindsey Graham spent the last decade of his life in public service as a US Senator, trying hard to be remembered as an enemy of the Constitution who worked to destroy American democracy and exhibited occasional signs that he knew why that was bad but kept doing it anyway. I will honor his choice.

He's said this a few times, so apparently he actually thinks this is a clever gotcha. It's like saying Democrats weren't protesting Burger King or The Lion King.

JD Vance argues that Democrats don't actually believe in "No Kings" because they didn't protest King Charles 🥴🥴🥴

@hcrichardson.bsky.social I wrote my bachelor's thesis on questioning the underlying fundamental theory of democracy from a leftist perspective and i'd love for you to read it if you are at all interested, i believe this is a heavily under-discussed and researched area.

@hankgreen.bsky.social Based on the "ufo's are demons" video I REALLY think you'd be interested in reading my bachelor's thesis about the fundamental reactive problems of democracy and I have no idea how you'd possibly want to receive that (via email probably but idk where to send it?).

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

The “too angry” here is 100% bc Powell called him out over the renovation numbers in front of cameras.

Bill OReilly said on Fox News that if same sex marriages became legal people would start marrying goats. It’s useful to check in on right wing bed wetting to remind people they’re always wrong. Always.

98% That's the decrease in the annual number of single-use plastic bags in the UK since a 5p charge started 10 years ago (it's now 10p) Not all environmental problems are that easy to tackle, but change is possible Resharing the Mail's 2015 splash, which has aged well www.gov.uk/government/p...

They literally beat up a senator and Schumer and company are talking about making deals with Republicans

Think. It. Through.@cfaller96.bsky.social · last yr.

An elected Dem is going to be kidnapped and disappeared soon. Feels inevitable. I’ll then be curious to hear Schumer’s and Jeffries’s latest excuses not to fight. We all know this is going to happen. It’s a matter of when, not if.

Virginia Giuffre was first trafficked by Epstein in 2001. Within one year, Trump would tell NY Magazine of Epstein, "It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side." Meaning he clearly knew who Epstein was and STILL exposed these girls to him.

Brian Tyler Cohen@briantylercohen.bsky.social · last yr.

Trump admits that Jeffrey Epstein “stole” young girls from him at Mar-a-Lago’s “spa” and brought them into his child sex trafficking ring. This includes Virginia Giuffre who died by suicide in April.

Asked if one of those employees was Virginia Giuffre: "I don't know. I think she worked at the spa. I think so. I think that was one of the people. Yeah, he stole her."

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · last yr.

Asked if any of the workers Epstein took were young women: "Well, I don't want to say, but everyone knows the people that were taken …. And the answer is yes, they were. In the spa. Yeah, people that work in the spa."

What sounds more plausible? "My best friend and I stopped speaking to each other because he hired away a random low-level employee who worked at the spa I owned." "My best friend and I stopped speaking to each other because he wanted the exact same girl I wanted and he stole her away from me."

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · last yr.

I love that Charlie Kirk is somehow trying to spin Trump saying that Jeffrey Epstein "stole" Virginia Giuffre from him and that's what ended their friendship -- and even this spin job looks absolutely terrible for Trump.

These two sentences, by themselves, literally ought to suffice to establish a diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Trump: I solved 6 wars, I am averaging a war per month. Including wars that lasted 500 years.

The self absorption of these people is beyond belief. Why am I supposed to care that this Senator “was one of the first to learn that Stephen Colbert’s show has been cancelled” ??

Mockler: If tariffs worked, Trump wouldn't have to gaslight the American people about who paid the tariff in the first place.

REPORTER: What kind of message do you think it sends to voters in your party that you have still not endorsed the party nominee for mayor in your home city, in your home state? HAKEEM JEFFRIES: We had a constructive & a candid & a community-centered meeting...we agreed at that meeting to reconvene

In any other administration, Noem would be out

Head of FEMA Urban Search and Rescue branch resigns. He told colleagues that TX delay was tipping point after months of admin efforts to dismantle the agency. DHS Sec Noem took 72 hours after TX flooding to authorize the deployment of FEMA’s search and rescue network www.cnn.com/2025/07/21/p...

One of the most important patterns of the past few decades that has to break is the idea that you only get one shot to stop a crook and if they have the numbers that day, you have to take the L forever, the crook is now a respectable official.

Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social · last yr.

They can be impeached. And, should Bove be confirmed — which he should not be — he should immediately be the subject of an impeachment inquiry should Dems retake Congress. He should not be a federal judge due to his actions at DOJ. That does not change if he is confirmed.

Quite simply I want to vote for someone who gets spiritual nourishment from being hated by billionaire sociopaths instead of yearning for their approval

dr. rich traditions, JD@helldude.bsky.social · last yr.

i don't understand that any democrat is currently talking beyond "elect democrats next time!" and honestly i think this is going to take a total constitutional overhaul. executive power, the supreme court, the electoral college, hell even the senate. this all has to be locked down to stop this

It is surreal the extent to which Tim Pool treats his audience as caveman-level stupid.
