Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could. From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America. Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.

Reminder: Dolly Parton helped fund the Moderna vaccine for COVID.

STILL SHOPPING AT TARGET🤔 Target pulled a kid's Halloween costume after outrage erupted over its grotesquely exaggerated facial features—imagery that echoes the racist caricatures of blackface & minstrel shows. How did anyone think this was acceptable? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... #PINKS

The degree to which it is conventional wisdom around the world that the president of the United States is a corrupt, untrustworthy, mentally imbalanced, declining, idiot is really remarkable. I mean, yes, those are the obvious facts, but still...

I feel like the kids who did poorly in science and history class are trying to get revenge on the kids who did well at science and history class and now we’re all going to die

It doesn’t bother me he keeps falling asleep, only that he keeps waking up.

I would advise everyone to follow @NormEisen.bsky.social on what the Roberts Court did today regarding Trump’s attempt to curb mail in voting. Heck, follow Norm on all things legal when it comes to this lawless president.👇

Norm Eisen@normeisen.bsky.social · 22h ago

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

Hate to break it to the six such eminent justices, but that's not at all what Trump's order is designed to do.

It was only five months ago that China averted disaster by rejecting contaminated beef from Argentina. On March 19, 2026, Chinese authorities turned away a 22-ton shipment after detecting chloramphenicol. With serial-lying psychopath Trump as president, God help us.😒

What's astonishing here is not the usual blustering tantrum from our president. What confounds is that clearly someone told him how much energy we import from Canada and the moron simply got it backwards. Begin this trade war with tariffs on oil and electricity and we're losing from jump.

Trump: "America has been carrying Canada for decades, but no longer! The US will always be far bigger, richer, and stronger. Without the US, Canada couldn’t survive ... Someone should get these clowns to 'fall in line' or, the consequences for Canada will be far WORSE!"

Get in line. Americans won't trust Americans again. A third of my fellow citizens put their hand on the same hot stove twice and most of them would still do it again.

Alexander Ross@hardpolitics.bsky.social · yesterday

I understand the political realities regarding impeachment in general, but in all seriousness, if I were a Canadian watching the US adamently refuse to impeach Donald Trump for repeatedly threatening a treaty ally with imperial conquest, I wouldn't trust Americans ever again.

He’s got that box thing making the back of his suit jacket stick out again. Maybe some enterprising journalist could ask what’s going on with that? Is it a tactical diaper or something else?

get a load of the state of the back of Trump's right hand. His injured skin is so discolored it's almost glowing.

Mark Carney: "This fall we will begin intense discussions with the European Union, the world's second-largest economy, to build a much stronger and deeper economic and security partnership"

This is Vance’s second trip to Maine to campaign for Susan Collins. And yet, both times Collins was “unable to attend” his events. I wonder why Susan Collins won’t get on a stage with Trump or Vance in Maine?

Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.

Cameron 🇺🇸🗽🦅@cameroncorduroy.bsky.social · 2d ago

anytime people raise concerns about land use for solar projects or anything like that i just want to point out that half the corn we grow in this country gets used to make gasoline slightly worse

The White House looks like a fucking crack head just moved in.
