Just wait to you hear about how the largest employers abuse food stamps and Medicaid
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 3d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Demanding to examine a child's genitals for them to play sports is fucking insane
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 2d agoAn initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
The One American Map strikes again
Alexander Howard@digiphile.bsky.social · 2d ago“The @nytimes.com has been tracking abortion laws in each state since the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which ended the constitutional right to an abortion.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/... I saw an echo of American history on the map.
this issue was just in front of the Supreme Court, and the case was the state of West Virginia against a middle school girl. which side sounds braver to you?
It’s pretty jarring we’ve just come to expect that the feds will lie to us and publicize false information and that there is virtually no consequence for it.
CNN@cnn.com · 5d agoThe Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. https://cnn.it/3RJJnwj
Doing this while pulling every lever to keep gas powered cars alive and kill electric vehicles in this country is one of those things that historians in the Canticle for Leinowitz zone will dismiss as obvious propaganda from his enemies
Unusual Whales@unusualwhales.bsky.social · 5d agoBREAKING: The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at its lowest level since 1983, with its 18th week of drawdown, per Reuters
Lol, lmao. But also considering that we don’t have any objectives in this war other than to keep Netanyahu out of jail and manipulate the stock market, I’m not sure that this is even true
Max P III@blackballer.bsky.social · last wk.The US would have won this war if physical reality was totally different lol
As a single issue voter whose only concern is ensuring that politicians have better healthcare than combat veterans but worse healthcare than desk jockey vets, this cartoon is deeply offensive

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
Sure he’s an incurious right wing hack masquerading as a tedious intellectual, but you can’t deny that he has the face of a tv star
Tom Joscelyn@tomjoscelyn.bsky.social · last wk.It’s striking that Douthat has been at the NYT all these years. The right has built a closed media ecosystem on the (false) belief that legacy media is a closed ecosystem. Meanwhile, a rightwing intellectual mediocrity like Douthat kept chugging along at the Times. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/b...
I sometimes point out that "kill transit nationwide" is literally in Project 2025, and oh hey look:
Yonah Freemark@yonahfreemark.com · last wk.Congress appropriated billions of dollars for new transit projects. Why is the Trump administration spending none of it? Why are even transit projects in red states going unfounded? New reporting in @nytimes.com (gift link): www.nytimes.com/2026/07/27/u...
Cannot get over how electable just drifting away from a constituent who asked you a challenging question makes you.
Last year, the Trump Administration delayed a $10 million grant meant for thinning out ~4,000 acres of dense, dry areas in the Superior National Forest. Most of the work never started. Now, it’s on fire. This is the cost of Elon Musk and the actions of DOGE. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

To me cutting USAID is like, you put a quarter into a slot every day to keep millions of people alive. You don’t have to do it but it causes you no hardship. Then one day the job falls to people who are overtly white supremacist and they decide to stop doing it. It is most obviously murder
Aaron Huertas@aaronhuertas.bsky.social · 2w agoGross to see a senator skip over the part where the aid was cut off illegally and without warning. Cooking their brains on a right wing owned social media site.
Looking forward to the headlines re President Pedophile supports hopeful Feely
VoteHub@votehub.com · 2w agoVoteHub projects Jay Feely to win the Republican primary for Arizona U.S. House District 1.
For a very long time there was an international taboo on assassinating foreign leaders even of countries you were at war with, and the Trump administration thought it was because people were pussies not because "now they're gonna try to kill YOU"
Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net · 2w agoI’m sorry, but like, did they think that the enemy in a war would not actually try to kill them?
Media outlets already helping this generational asshole whitewash his crimes. Democrats are likely about to be in power in the next few years and he wants to give them any flimsy reason to pretend he's not that bad
The Guardian@theguardian.com · 2w ago‘I got carried away’: Elon Musk expresses regret about Doge and wading into Trump’s orbit
Matty is a massive wiener and his political theory is completely unable to explain how we went from massive backlash to the North Carolina bathroom law to trans panic being the only Republican domestic agenda in 10 years
Stephen Robinson@playtyperguy.com · 2w agoYglesias in fact argues for Dems to *surrender* on the culture wars in ways that Clinton never did when Bush/GOP hit him (and specifically Hillary Clinton) on "family values." It's not as if Hillary said, "OK, fine, I'll promise to only do traditional First Lady stuff."
When I played youth soccer I was taught to kick the ball in the net, but the Spanish mind clearly cannot comprehend this
Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 2w agoSpain gets into good positions but they make the common mistake of not kicking the ball hard enough
The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.
