This is great reporting on what's happening in one county in western Nebraska, one where I've spent a lot of time, as people watch ICE raids and deportations in other places and expect it will get to Chase County sooner or later. So much better than NYT-style stories on rural places and politics.
Trump’s mysterious disappearance from public raises new questions about Joe Biden’s advanced age
I’m rooting for her, but Swiatek has been in top form. Hopefully Anisimova at least wins a game this time.
Please be testicular
Schumer trying to a recruit decrepit Mills to run against this guy. Why?
This guy gets it.
Republicans control the Senate But with Roy Cooper in North Carolina, the emergence of @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social in Iowa and Sherrod Brown maybe returning in Ohio, the map looks a lot better If Democrats beat Susan Collins and @ossoff.bsky.social holds his seat, the balance of power will change
BREAKING: MASSIVE RALLY FORMING IN MAINE AGAINST SUSAN COLLINS.
Do Americans even appreciate that their Empire is being given away? Most have no fucking idea.
Bublik is a great player but Sinner is next fucking level. You could see it.
Bublik to Sinner at the net: "You're so good. I'm not bad. But, what the f*ck!?"
Too bad. I love Gauff, but she has been a head case since Paris. Exciting to see Osaka kicking ass again.
It's increasingly hard to deny "what you see on X" is nowhere close to "what normal people think" and whoa boy is that a problem for mediocrities who constantly churn out reactionary anti-woke twaddle, hence the whining from Silver, the Harper's Letter guy, and that new Worst-of-The-Atlantic blog.
And Americans are footing the bill.
The shooter did not act alone. He was assisted by one president, 219 House members, 53 senators, and the NRA.
Jake Tapper is on the case.
The mental fitness of elderly Presidents has been such an important issue for the media lately, so I expect wall-to-wall coverage of how President Trump has once again thrown a fit about one of his own signature policies, showing no awareness of how it arose or who executed it.
Everything is perfectly normal and fine. Nothing to see here.
It’s like looking at the end of the post war order. Tragic.
The leaders of China, Russia and India, the three largest powers not aligned with the West, smiled and laughed like good friends as they greeted each other at a summit on Monday. nyti.ms/4lN0Z3n
Allison “had graduated as a nursing assistant and had earned a $60,000 scholarship to attend Gardner-Webb University.”
JB Pritzker uses the word "invasion" to describe what Trump has planned for my city, Chicago. And that's exactly what it would be – an autocratic government trying to crush our dissent because we oppose his corruption, cruelty and incompetence. It's what dictators do.
Like Kim Il Sung before him, he is the reason the sun rises in the morning
Qatar's gift to Donald Trump of a luxury jet for his post-presidential use will cost taxpayers almost $1 billion in carefully concealed Pentagon funds. That's money straight from your taxes to Trump's personal benefit. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/u...
I’d prefer an infirmed, Bells Palsey Trump to Vance. Hang in there Mr. President.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
How about main stream media press for some transparency on the President's health & ask for explanation as to why WH tries to pass off old photos as current?
I hope there’s some dead fucking Russians.
Shitty. Townsend was the story of this Open. Psyched for Gauff v. Osaka.
Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
BREAKING: A federal judge has *blocked* the Trump administration from abruptly deporting 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan children — perhaps within a matter of hours — granting an emergency restraining order after advocates called the plan illegal + dangerous. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
What a fatass.
Trump/RFK are decapitating our public health system, a pillar of American greatness. So Dem Govs should scour every corner of the law for creative new ways to defend their people from this madness. Dems should polarize this debate to the max. Thoughts on this here: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
Matter of time till Abu Garib levels of abuse come to light.
The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
Your days are numbered Jeffries. The voters are gonna vote you the fuck out.
And you helped him.
shocking
as the article seems to suggest, all polling points to this ship having already sailed and being far far out at sea
Remember "facts don't care about your feelings"?
Kill that fucking brand. Daniels is shit whiskey anyway.
Canadians - do better - Canadian sales should drop 100%
Lot of people not familiar with RFK’s fucked up brain so let me translate: he thinks he can walk around and see how many kids are autistic, and he thinks vaccines caused it. Pretty much that simple
she said that “black” with a hard r
human nature!
yo this guy is cooking
More or less universally a country seeking to limit foreigners studying in that country is a sign of a society, culture, great power in severe decline.
Super important piece on how states can help fill the gaps created by RFK's anti-vax policies. We desperately need RFK out of the job, where he's doing immense damage to public health, but Dem Governors can take effective steps here if they want to. (So can R Governors! Not sure they'll want to.)
A Democratic candidate for prosecutor in Virginia wants lawmakers to ban ICE agents from operating while masked or while concealing their identities; she says she’d then prosecute those who don’t comply.
Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
They should do this to Stephen Miller when It Happens
Hope nothing bad happens to them.
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
Good news everyone we can all go back to shitting in the drinking water for freedom
She’s been playing some of her best tennis, but it’s just that - her best.
that he is one of the few Democrats actually doing something in response to Trump does not change the fact that Newsom fucking sucks and I don’t want him to run either the state or the country
Tech companies are a huge part of the US economy. AI investments are the only thing buoying the US economy. Regardless, you don’t need to work in tech to be affected by a downturn in the tech industry. Few people buy/sell CDOs but they brought the entire economy to a halt in 2008.
What a piece of shit Hakeem is. Guy fucking hates the left. He’s a corporate shill.
Strongly worded letter. Worthless. Can’t wait to see you and Schumer cave to Trump in the coming weeks
You fucking love it you sick fuck.
Can’t wait for Schumer to cave. It’s pretty much a guarantee. The POS has no control over his caucus. He’s weak and ineffectual.
It’s not unprecedented you fuck stick. Republicans pretty much do it for any Dem nominees. Get your caucus in order you POS.
Countdown to Schumer cave…
A CDC Highway to Hell Team Trump is more Dred Scott than Bon Scott, and now RFK Jr. says you can't have a Covid vaccine if you're young (and I don't mean Angus). Congressional Republicans could stop this, but they're thunderstruck. Safe to say Mike Johnson is no Brian Johnson. by Maureen Dowd
Why are so-called progressives up in arms about RFK. Jr., who I do not support, removing the head of the CDC yet said nothing when shitlib Phil Griffin removed me from the regular rotation on M$DNC? by Glenn Greenwald
Doomers: The 2026 election doesn't matter, Republicans are just going to rig the whole thing anyway Various red state republican incumbents: I'm just going to quit now because if I run in 2026 I'm going to get absolutely killed
Hasn’t crashed yet. If if tech stocks tank, consumer spending will drop significantly. As will business investments in capital expansions, further depressing consumer spending. Tech companies have sunk Apollo Program levels of spending into this technology. If it doesn’t pan out, they’re fucked.
He’s dominating right now. Unless something changes, he’ll win it for sure.
He’s a fucking California Raisin.
It’s not a little money. It’s a fuck ton. Hundreds of billions. If it doesn’t pan out a big chunk of the economy will be in deep shit.
These are the rankings of a crazy person.
Burn it down bitches.
Holy shit. That’s the craziest shit I’ve ever seen.
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
ah yes, vital that we have housing for cars and not people
“She told me I have no education & no class…Whether it had racial undertones…that’s something she could speak on…I let my racket talk…She’s packed up & she’s gone, I’m here…I don’t take any offense…I’m proud of the way I handled myself “ – Taylor Townsend on beating Jelena Ostapenko
GD I love the US Open.
Keir Starmer's political strategy of trying to position himself as Farage with better administrative skills would be morally reprehensible even if it were working. It does not appear to be.
Bob Dole not only failed to speak up, he endorsed Trump and then lobbied him on Taiwan.

Wow. On NPR, @gbrumfiel.bsky.social reports a Social Security official “copied the Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud.” The source is a whistleblower, who is named: Charles Borges, SSN chief data officer.

After all the fancy constitutional arguments & faux historical glosses, this is the practical endpoint of the unitary executive theory. Because when presidential power is effectively unchecked, the only thing preventing it from devolving into authoritarianism is the decency of the officeholder.
i'm actually a big believer in drafting by hand. i think it helps you think in a different way then typing on a screen
Democrats just picked up a seat that was +11 pts for Trump in 2024 to break an Iowa supermajority. Trump wants to appear indomitable. But he's also a lame duck and those winds can shift quickly. www.the-downballot.com/p/iowa-democ...

“Day laborer Ervin Mancilla has spent 38 yrs in America as a jornalero. When asked how he was, he answered, ‘Not well.’ 'I feel down bc things are hard under Trump. It is very abusive,’ Mancilla said. 'They only care to hurt you. And w/the masks, you don’t know if they are the sheriff or not.’”
The rot runs deep
Little known fact: Windmills cause autism.
FUCK ME DO NOT DESCRIBE TRUMP'S PLANS IN THE HEADLINES WITHOUT NOTING THEY ARE ILLEGAL.
this is exactly right. it's the same stupid bet every republican has made since 2015.
