I just posted a video of a Joe Rogan clip X, where he is blasting Donald Trump...and pointing out how full of BS he is. Within 15 seconds...it was GONE. Vanished. Disappeared. Fuckery? Almost certainly.

Y’all - the Yale School of Public Health is funded through the end of September 2025 for the project that tracks kidnapped Ukrainian children. Here’s the link to the project - give them a few $$ if you can. This project and its data are critical to get these kids back. ysph.yale.edu/about-school...

Ghislane Maxwell is a child sex trafficker that Trump just gave immunity to in exchange for her silence on him. Wanna bet she only names democrats now and magically gets pardoned in a few years?

Yes there are millions of people who buy in to white Christian nationalism and some have shown how to turn it into very profitable businesses, but at its core is ignorance, racism, fear, insecurity, and perversion of the teachings of Jesus.
Most of this “press conference” is this lunatic yelling at the media. This guy is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function.
Voters next year will get to decide whether they want the House doing oversight on the current government of the US, which is cesspool of corruption and conflicts of interest, or continue to ignore that for the next 3 years to continue a decade of Biden investigations.
Today is day 76 of “90 deals in 90’days.” Now they are saying maybe something is going to happen by Labor Day. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Gavin Newsom is suing Fox over a deceptively edited clip by Jesse Watters. meidasnews.com/news/gavin-n...
This was an inevitable collateral consequence of the bombings and will likely remain the case for quite some time.
I have said many times that he couldn’t pass a 7th grade US history exam. He proves it daily. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump is upset that the Ayatollah isn’t grateful to him for saving his life and says, “As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie.”
Newsom sues Fox for $787M. Trump axes trade talks with Canada. Bannon attacks Fox as a foreign agent. Inflation rises. SCOTUS chips away at rights. ICE deaths mount. Tesla Robotaxis fail. Iran still armed. This is Today in Politics.
Trump is running the government like one of his old casinos in Atlantic City.
Today in Politics, Bulletin 160. A little bit of everything in this one as the news came fast from a lot of different directions. Here is everything that happened today. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
There’s profound meaning when a top southern public university like UVA is open & willing to understand the past in all its complexity, good & bad, race (& “DEI”) included I got my M.A. & Ph.D at UVA, & admired the range & breadth of its embrace of complex history Unlike the current administration
This is the racist POS that wants to deport Zohran. I think I would prefer Ogles to be deported.
Not only are ICE bounty hunters, who look more like criminals than law enforcement, abducting people from workplaces & off the street—we’re now seeing they’re being held in private detention centers w/some of the most deplorable conditions imaginable. REPEAT: people are profiting from this cruelty.
The Senate just voted to block Tim Kaine’s War Powers Resolution. The vote was party line except for two exceptions: John Fetterman joined Republicans. Rand Paul joined Democrats.
See ya shortly Iowa. Doing nothing is not an option. Onward to 2026 !!!
@governor.ca.gov Please DO SOMETHING. ANYTHING. This has to stop! Investigate ICE, the bounty hunters, the J6’ers, whoever the hell is committing these atrocities!
In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.
This is how you get distorted intelligence assessments, where dissenting analysis is deterred or suppressed. Hegseth: “anyone who says the bombs were not devastating is just trying to undermine the president and the successful mission” www.ft.com/content/023c...
Mamdani’s win was a very clear message to leaders in the Democratic Party.
Take a look, folks! 👀 We have our first Democratic candidate for Governor of the great state of Texas! This ad is a great way to launch a campaign. 👇🏽 Looking forward to learning more. Keep your eyes on The Lone Star State - the TXGOP roster is up next year. 2026 is coming. 🗳️

Trump hires another unqualified white guy… it’s almost like there’s a pattern. Dan Caine confirmed as Joint Chiefs chairman www.npr.org/2025/04/11/n...
israel, yesterday: whoever bombs hospitals is cruel and inhumane (gaza doesn't count) israel, today: that's a nice hospital you've got there, it would be a shame if something happened to it

Charlie Kirk tells a 14 year old high school freshman that she should only go to college to get an “MRS degree.” An “MRS degree” is the idea that a woman attends college primarily to find a husband, rather than pursue academic or career goals. Misogynistic men are a cancer to society.
Whoa. Spicy footnote from Justice Jackson, dissenting in the ADA case. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
![The majority’s contention that I reject “ ‘pure textualism’ [a]s insuf ficiently pliable to secure the result [I] seek,” ante, at 10, stems from an unfortunate misunderstanding of the judicial role. Our interpretative task is not to seek our own desired results (whatever they may be). And, indeed, it is precisely because of this solemn duty that, in my view, it is imperative that we interpret statutes consistent with all relevant indicia of what Congress wanted, as best we can ascertain its intent. A method ology that includes consideration of Congress’s aims does exactly that— and no more. By contrast, pure textualism’s refusal to try to understand the text of a statute in the larger context of what Congress sought to achieve turns the interpretive task into a potent weapon for advancing judicial policy preferences. By “finding” answers in ambiguous text, and not bothering to consider whether those answers align with other sources of statutory meaning, pure textualists can easily disguise their own pref erences as “textual” inevitabilities. So, really, far from being “insuffi ciently pliable,” I think pure textualism is incessantly malleable—that’s its primary problem—and, indeed, it is certainly somehow always flexi ble enough to secure the majority’s desired outcome.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f4d76fjna5nxqsy2fu6cgmp3/bafkreicg7mx5lddzyvnoguvadwnojtm7xcu2sf34hhizuapfesk46w7kli@jpeg "Click to view full size")
The National Guard remains under federal control for now as the legal dispute continues. California can request a rehearing by the full 9th Circuit and/or appeal to the Supreme Court.
Ukraine war briefing: Russia ‘on verge of recession’, Putin minister tells economic showcase - The Guardian
Today the Supreme Court upheld the Promoting Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act which allows U.S. courts to exercise personal jurisdiction over the PLO in certain overseas terrorism cases. Alexander Perkowski and Lulu Mansour explained the backgroud to this case following oral arguments:

Adrian Andrew Martinez, a U.S. citizen, tried to intervene as federal immigration agents questioned another man in a Walmart parking lot. ICE agents violently swarm him. Now missing. By law, he has a right to an attorney. This is how police states operate.
There’s going to be so much peace, you won’t be able to stand all the peace. Peace the likes of which nobody has ever seen before.
BREAKING: 13.14 MILLION attended 2,300+ No Kings protests nationwide. At 3.8% of the US population, this BLOWS AWAY the 3.5% threshold that political scientists say is required to overthrow dictators… THE. MORE. YOU. KNOW. 😎✨
damn -- Duckworth to Hegseth: "If you want to be the DHS secretary, maybe you can apply for that job when you're fired from this one due to your incompetence."
The new “All-American” smartphone being sold by Trump’s family is reportedly manufactured in China. The just-launched Trump Mobile is selling a gold iPhone lookalike for $499, despite the device’s base model—albeit without the gilded trim or Trump branding—being available on Amazon for just $169.
Katie Miller instructed the head of the SSA to report that 40% of all calls placed to SSA phone lines were linked to fraudulent Social Security claims, a number Trump and Musk plucked out of thin air. Just more proof that DOGE is not transparent or efficient. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Setting the record straight: Trump’s lawyers argue the Guard must stay under federal control to keep the peace in L.A. That’s a lie! There’s no insurrection, no chaos, no crisis California can’t handle. This is about control: flexing on LA as an example, targeting immigrants & testing the limits.

Outside the Iran mall earlier today. At the beginning the man says “where are we supposed to go?”
Trump leaves G7 to rush to the situation room Irresponsible comments from an unfit leader Btw, the situation room should scare you also with that bunch of Incompetence
Really striking that, five years later, Mike Lindell is facing some accountability for his 2020 lies — and meanwhile other Trump allies are ginning up the 239,000th bullshit claim about that election.
G7 leaders pose for family photo in Canada https://twp.ai/4ioXA0
TRUMP FLIPS AGAIN: Farm and hospitality workers won’t be exempt from ICE raids after all.
This is your daily reminder that Republicans are planning to cut Medicaid, Medicare and SNAP to hand tax breaks to their billionaire donors. Don’t get distracted. Help me spread the word.
All of these folks out here saying, “I voted for Trump, but I didn’t think it would be like this.” I’m not buying it. They knew exactly what they were voting for. He claimed immigrants were eating cats and dogs. FFS!

The greatest con Trump ever pulled was convincing millions of rubes that he cares about them.
Why doesn’t Trump hire Americans?
This is taking me back to the days when they first started talking about WMDs in Iraq.
We weren’t protesting the Army.
The Marines don’t need a parade with the draft dodger on November 10. We’re good.
He can always easily do great deals that never seem to happen. Maybe in two weeks.
Of course this is preposterous as always, but by Tuesday Trump will have it at 2.5 million.
The results are in! There were my favorite signs from yesterday’s No Kings protests. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
A boy definitely wouldn’t have generated as much social media content for the culture war agenda.
Translation: Ag Sec confirms reports that she lobbied Trump not to deport farm workers or food processors on behalf of Big Ag Trump donors.
BRENNAN: The public approval is so high of deportation PADILLA: It depends how you ask the question. If you ask the same people, 'Do you think we should maintain due process in the US?' the answer is overwhelmingly yes
