Rudy Giuliani happened to be in the middle of one of his favorite pastimes - RESPECTING WOMEN - when he suddenly broke every single bone in his body. Please do not call and ask any questions because his business partner is taking care of him ❤️

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.” Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris

They're now saying it out loud: The Administration's goal is to undo the political independence that Congress granted the Fed, so that the President can directly set rates.
BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)
Fucking ghoul
Why haven't there been front page stories about the bizarre, North Korea-like 3 hour Trump "cabinet meeting"? The absence of such coverage of the conduct of Trump and his cronies explains why most people don't know how truly dangerously unhinged our government has become.
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Grateful for amazing lawyers like @markzaidesq.bsky.social and Abbe Lowell who are fighting for truth and transparency. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
Please, someone with a modicum of power, LISTEN TO THIS
Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
Republicans keep telling us not to "politicize" these shootings, but that's only because they understand that these shootings were entirely motivated by the political arguments they themselves have been making and entirely facilitated by the political campaign against gun control that they have led.
National Guard soldiers called into service for President Trump's law enforcement surge in D.C. have been assigned to spread mulch at federal monuments. Normally the Park Service does that, but the administration laid off the workers. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Like, WHAT?!?!
the united states government's social media accounts are just third tier comments on 4chan /pol/
FUCK ME DO NOT DESCRIBE TRUMP'S PLANS IN THE HEADLINES WITHOUT NOTING THEY ARE ILLEGAL.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
In Texas v Johnson in 1989 the Supreme Court deemed flag burning a form of speech protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution. No law enforcement officer is obligated to carry out a blatantly illegal order.
A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."
Pritzker makes a crucial point here: Members of the National Guard have full-time jobs outside of their service and responsibilities. By frivolously calling them up, Trump is upending their lives just to weaponize them against their own neighbors and fellow Americans. It's appalling.
The free world needs to boycott the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, just as they should have boycotted the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany.
More Dems should have the courage to make this point. Trump officials conducting his unconstitutional orders should remember - every autocracy eventually falls. MAGA will be no different. Trump cannot shield them forever. Their participation in this blatant illegality is being thoroughly documented.
Greenland breathes sigh of relief as it turns out Trump has decided on a military occupation of the United States instead.
If AI is where tech corporations are focusing their energies, and nations are resting their economies on tech, and AI needs massive amounts of energy...
it is very common in the mainland to routinely give red envelopes to reporters *because it is a bribe.*
This is nazi logic. The Nazis would redistribute the confiscated property of Jews to the German populace as an incentive to support their mass deportation to concentration camps.
We're all dealing with fires everywhere, but we really have to understand the Texas situation as an inferno. The fact that Republicans have skipped any pretense or noises about fairness and are just openly, blatantly cheating the process as a power grab is remarkable. They feel untouchable.
What's gone unsaid in all this talk about homeless people in DC is that so many in the Capital are veterans who are now having the military aimed back at them for the crime of being poor.
Tough talk from the man who took the Fifth before the grand jury.
If “liberal blue” states/ counties/ cities don’t already have faraday basement war rooms and internal intelligence apparatuses ~disconnected from the illegal federal fusion centers~ then that is unforgivably insane mismanagement. (I apologize for being apparently the first person to address this?)
🚨 🚨 As Speaker Johnson takes aim at Newsom’s effort to counter the Trump effort to steal the 2026 election, let me introduce the Speaker to somebody. This gentleman came to power from what is arguably the least accountable statehouse in the nation… 1/

The Kurt Vonnegut letter to those high school kids is never wrong -
But a white guy with a COVID conspiracy manifesto isn’t news at this point. After all, that’s who runs the government now! The CDC is a part of Health & Human Services, headed by RFK Jr., whose conspiracy-addled ideology is indistinguishable from the motivations of this terrorist.
A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵 An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.
Masked men jumped a San Bernardino family in unmarked cars, opened fire, and shattered their truck windows—all while the family was just coming home from work. The feds later admitted it was CBP, but the family says the agents never showed warrants or IDs.
Kazoos. The answer is kazoos. #kazooarmy
TACO. What an embarrassment. Trump makes our country look so weak.
⚡️New York museum asks Bondi to arrest Putin during Alaska visit. Beka Museum urged immediate action, highlighting Russian President Vladimir Putin's role in the forced deportation of Ukrainian children and other atrocities committed under his rule.
I haven't even heard them pretend to be that party in at least five years
"Ghislaine Maxwell remains the only child-rapist in history to receive well-wishes from a president of the United States." Lawrence O'Donnell
Trump pretty much invented a political language. Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California, seems to have learned how to speak it fluently.
holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second

It’s great that every issue that could be solved by asking corporations and the wealthy to live slightly differently now involves a government being like “oh you have a small light that stays on in the bathroom? Way to fuck everything up dickhead”
Reporter: I have lived in the DC area for almost 50 years now. The most violent moment in my life was January 6th, 2021, when Trump's supporters charged into the Capitol and beat cops. Trump's response to that was to pardon everyone who was involved
The Solicitor General of the U.S. is openly lying to federal courts about what tariffs do, falsely claiming that tariff "deals" are agreements to pay "trillions of dollars." A disgrace to the legal profession and a disgrace to the office. He should resign.
Maybe? In my home city, the nursing schools lowered educational standards due to low graduation rates (according to multiple nurses/nursing school students).
Obvious ecological catastrophe aside, there is literally no need to do this. We are producing more oil and gas than ever before, and more than is needed or can be consumed. Fossil fuel prices are not high because of lack of supply.
In 1949, Superman told schoolchildren “our country is made up of Americans of MANY different races, religions and national origins. So… “…if YOU hear anybody talk against anyone else because of his religion, race or national origin — don’t wait: tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN.”
Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.
Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.
The central problem with the "this is really scary stuff" argument is federal elected Ds not acting like it It's why the Democratic Party polls so poorly at the moment

Seems like it'd be a short meeting if Trump were innocent, because they could just release the files like they promised all along. Just redact the victims' names but let the rest fly, right? Huh. Wonder why it's taking a high-level strategy session instead.
Millions more would've died during the covid pandemic without the mRNA discoveries and developments of Kati Kariko and Drew Weissman. And now millions will die in the future because of this decision.
How do you advocate for your library?
Trump on Mike Tyson raping a 18 year old girl: "Mike should serve some time and everything else, but...here's a woman that was dancing at his door at one o'clock in the morning."
Finally, a united nation.
Way easier (and safer) than hunting down MS13 gang members!
“After their meeting, Trump flew Madam Maxwell and the model south to the sunshine state, where all three enjoyed a happy weekend together.” *Epstein met Anouska De Georgiou when she was a teenager. *Ghislaine introduces her to Trump when she was 20 & Trump was 50. How is this not a bigger story?
I guess she’d aged out. But still seems to fit a certain pattern.
Wolff: We can chart a continued friendship between these two men through flight manifests, photographs, phone calls This relationship that Trump claims ended in 2000 actually demonstrably continued until at least 2005. It’s that period in which most of the allegations against Epstein took place.
It would be extremely dangerous to disband this unit that failed to stop the mass shooting, the incumbent mayor says. If his opponent is elected, the incumbent mayor says, then we might have shootings like the one that just occurred on the incumbent mayor's watch.
Alternate Headline: "Even the $5 billion NYC Spends on the NYPD Couldn't Prevent the Midtown Shooting. NYC has the highest per capita level of policing in the US. But Monday’s mass shooting showed policing's limits, security experts said." Why not go with that headline? Why not? WHY. NOT?
"For the last time, I didn't know anything about Jeffrey Epstein's pedophilia ring, we were just best friends for over a decade and then finally had a falling out when he stole this seventeen-year-old blonde girl from me. I trust that settles it."
Apparently, inflation is bad, but we must impose tariffs to raise the cost of cheap imports so people buy expensive American goods. We can re-shore manufacturing, but to be cost competitive, we have to fully automate factories, replacing American workers with robots.
Guess we know what Todd Blanche asked her to do
Still not as bad as Microsoft Teams
I mean my God what is in those files?

Native American groups say tribal sovereignty trumps state and federal efforts to restrict or ban gender-affirming care for their LGBTQ+ and two-spirit citizens. From @kffhealthnews.org:
South Park is getting canceled after this lmao.
The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship. That's just a true statement about the world!
This has clearly been assembled out of at least three different animals
"Adolf Hitler, pursuing a ruthless campaign for a 'Nasified' and loyal Germany, armed himself today with the power to cancel citizenships and and confiscate the property of critical or hostile citizens, including Germans living abroad." United Press July 16, 1933
Every dictator has its own loyal military/paramilitary force with the primary purpose of keeping the dictator in power. I don't understand how people don't understand that this is what ICE is for Trump.
Trump’s post is completely unhinged, but the ratio is the real story. His base isn’t buying it. They’re clinging to the Epstein list and his QAnon echo chamber hyped for years. They wanted to take down the Clintons. He built this monster. Now it’s backfiring on him.
Missouri Republicans overturned our will on abortion and earned sick time and a higher minimum wage. They told us we are too stupid to know what we are voting for. But, do you know what else was on the same ballot? Sports betting. They haven’t tried to overturn sports betting. Weird.
can a scientist tell me if it’s good for a mysterious hand print to be smeared on a cryptic door in the 100 year old cabin I’m staying in
Like, wow, did Russia win the cold war...
Turns out “fuck the libs” = “we don’t know how to film a second take”
Happening now in Camarillo, protesters are desperately facing off against ICE to try to defend America’s farm workers. /
NEW: Buried inside the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is $6 billion for border security tech, including surveillance towers. CBP just confirmed to me that this surveillance tower money can *only* go to Anduril, the Trump-friendly military contractor. theintercept.com/2025/07/09/t...
You can rationalize it however you want but staying on twitter is a terrible choice. It is not the “town square.” It is the world’s disease-ridden dump. You don’t need to be there to think critically or write relevantly or stay abreast of current events.
