Yep. @andrewlseidel.bsky.social
Also looks like concrete, is this really the limestone?
I'm curious about the authenticity of the rose garden contractor story. It just seems a little too Donald Trump. Fox posted a video, where you see some guys rolling through with a pallet jack, and the camera seems to be tracking them, is this really security footage? www.foxnews.com/video/637783...
I don't think that's true. In a recent interview Thiel talked about talking to Elon over dinner. I think it was reported that Thiel forced Elon out of Paypal, that doesn't mean they are enemies to this day. www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

Goodness, if the President has a serious health problem I certainly hope he follows the expert medical advice of his Secretary of Health and Human Services
do you know anyone in turkmenistan who can keep watch for randos crawling out of this thing muttering “i’m not gonna spend eternity with that guy”?
Our country is being destroyed. But hey, look at these eight Maine Coon kittens.
Yeah there is a really nice polling station on the other side of town. They have valet's that will take the plate off for you with a screw gun, and put it back on after you vote. Your expected to tip of course, not just the valet but the poll workers as well.
Check out babylon berlin. Its a detective thriller set in 1930s germany... or do you mean something to watch not depicting the implosion of society?
Ashli Babbitt died doing what she loved—being a domestic terrorist.
This really does perfectly frame Vance's philosophy and rhetorical style.
This is truly one of the best illustrations of what is happening in America.
Really?!?! People are actually saying that God called these children back. Then why wouldn’t that God just let the child die peacefully in their sleep. What would the purpose be of terrorising them first and then dying so violently?!?!?!?
From the podcast: "They [ICE] are going to be hiring people who look at those videos of them arresting people and say 'that's what I want to do'"
The guy has a tattoo of Nixon's face on his back, his metrics for determining asshole status are clearly unreliable.
They are training us now... 👀😅🤣 #cat #catday #bluesky
Look at these faces. All the self awareness of a dog licking its own ass in the middle of the street.
It's not just a confrontational style, it's a confrontational-satirical style. Maybe not everybody will pick up on the (actually not very) subtle nuance in this style of communication. Or maybe they just don't want to admit it's stupid when done in all seriousness.
Really hard to tell what these targets of Trumps attacks and smears have in common Trump says Fed Governor Lisa Cook 'must resign' www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
How about the Haag? Just a short walk from the international criminal court.
Actually, the "TRUMP SLUMP" is everywhere in the United States! www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
And republican politicians have the nerve to justify the BBB's tax cuts for the wealthy with the overtime and tips not being subject to tax. High earners get their benefits without lifting a finger but the poor only get benefits if they hustle?! Doesn't sound fair to me.
"It's not MSNBC anymore, Lemon. It's MS NOW. We bought the name off of a defunct multiple sclerosis awareness organization. It wasn't cheap, but we were able to save some money by selling Brian Williams to a Saudi prince who wanted to expand his harem."

I'd never realized it before but its evident now: anarchy and fascism seem to walk hand in hand. It just devolves into a game of pretending someone is in charge that gets more and more absurd. But i still think we can get through this and these people will be held accountabke.

He deployed the national guard to evict the homeless but not the insurrectionists.

This does not look like legitimate policing. I would have called 911 and reported an assault and kidnapping by people impersonating fedaral agents
Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood. He's turning the homes into a compound. That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe. I don’t want to hear that billionaires can’t afford a wealth tax.

Israel under netinyahu is going to do whatever saudi arabia and egypt and the US allow them to do. Still doesn't make it right.

DC Union Station tonight. Unreal.
I want to watch the movie but I know it from Red City Radio, who uses the speech in their song "Sky tigers" so if you want it set to rock music with lyrics inspired by it music.youtube.com/watch?v=UdoA...

they are murdering the people who tell the truth.
FBI better get on this ASAP.
Bankruptcy from medical debt - that's capitalism! Nurses, teachers, and public sector employees not earning enough to pay off student loans- That's capitalism! The wealthy being held to looser standards of the law - that too is capitalism? What we we seek is something far from these extremes.
BREAKING: We filed a class action lawsuit against ICE for denying people access to lawyers and subjecting them to inhumane conditions at 26 Federal Plaza in New York. ICE is illegally holding people here for weeks, often without adequate access to medical care, food, or legal counsel.
The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend. This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending. Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared
Interesting ay?
👏👏
This is Milo. He noticed you were packing for a trip. Wouldn't want you to forget the essentials. 12/10 (TT: mikrawrrrrr)
It doesn't matter how the maps are drawn. If voters are mad enough, and the justification is there, moderate Republicans running third party would put every district in play. The adversarial politics, and demonizing the other side need to go away, and we need to come together.
MAGA Mike Johnson has argued that democrats support socialist policies, socialists are communists, and communism is evil therefore democrats are evil. But this is like comparing cows milk to a White Russian. Socialism is just an ingredient that promotes cooperation rather than competition.
Seriously people... we don't need a "Joe Rogan of the left" we need a leader who is sincerely progressive and has the will and capacity to see it through. A fucking podcaster is not going to save democracy. (no offense to podcasters)
We need an expediter.
We need an expediter.

If he's somehow allowed to run again, there's only one suitable candidate to run against him: BARACK OBAMA. #PoeticJustice ⚖️
It's hard not to laugh it's so absurd. But it's so unfair to the former commissioner, and it's hard to imagine this won't tank an already fragile morale in the bureau. And good talented people now have an excellent reason to go work someplace else... and the dominoes will start to fall.

I don't think even escalating threats of nuclear exchange with Russia would distract from the Epstein cover-up. I guess we'll see how far he's willing to go?
And blaming Powell for the state of the economy. I wonder if the board could have made a different decision if his administration had been putting out accurate data.
Right, so that whole Durham Annex thing, just a big pile of garbage, that is almost definitely Russian misinformation. I was looking for a good explanation and the NY Times provided.

I think the biggest concern about AI, if you are truly honest. Was never how it might evolve. But how the wealthy and powerful would use it.
I remember when this happened.
Or rebrand yourselves as the Mediocre party.
CNBC: The EPA is moving to rescind this endangerment finding on carbon dioxide and greenhouses gases. Is that a danger to public health? MAKARY: To be honest, I don't know enough about that issue CNBC: You're in charge of our public health! Can you look into it for us?
Senator Durbin and I had some questions about the very unusual Blanche/Maxwell meeting. Here are some of the multiple weirdnesses: 🧵
Or Ron is just a turd. Just offering an equally credible theory.
This is Trump's treasure secretary on the Fed: “What we need to do is examine the entire Federal Reserve institution and whether they have been successful,” Bessent told CNBC on July 21. “All these PhDs over there, I don’t know what they do.” 🤨
So many weird facts about Epstein's trials. For example, Kenneth Starr, who led the investigation that lead to the Clinton impeachment was a defense attorney for Epstein, and then defended Trump' in his first impeachment trial...🤯 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Starr
total mentions on Fox Business yesterday: Obama -- 101 Epstein -- 5
Fox News these days is like a Christmas tree with the top chopped off. The top stories for every other news outlet are missing and the stuff they are covering is low on the list elsewhere:
My idea for health care... we have a public health system and a private system. We then tax providers more the less service they provide the public system. These taxes go to subsidizing education of nurses, doctors, research, etc. And this B.S. won't be allowed to practice in the public system.
RIP Ozzy... here is one that captures the spirit of the times... www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVov...
If I were to take Trump's accusations that Obama admin manufactured evidence seriously the first thing I would ask is... that was eight years ago why are you bringing up now? I wonder what crazy stuff they will come up with next.
The moment Stephen Colbert said I don’t give a flying f**€k to Paramount and CBS.
The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why? Because it expired after its shipment was delayed. 1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed. This isn’t just inefficient – it’s cruel.
The Supreme Court is the enemy of even the most modest liberal reform in this country. No possible political program worth enacting in this country can be enacted as long as this court remains.
not to be the flyspeck nyt copy as if it's the most important thing guy, but seriously wtf is this?
Awful yes. But won't it hurt everyone except for the ultra rich? People without health insurance will wait until they need to go to the emergency room rather than see a doctor at the start. They won't be able to pay and what else can providers do besides charge those with insurance more?
Donald Trump and DOGE got rid of too many Social Security staffers so wait times for help skyrocketed. Now the agency is playing musical chairs to try and fill in the gaps. Here's an idea: stop gutting the critical workforce that helps Americans every single day.
How disgusting is it that it is necessary for the WI supreme court to uphold a ban by the Evers administration on conversion therapy? Somehow the Republicans on this legislative committee were in favor of psychological torture of young people as a bogus form of therapy to cure gayness.
I liked this opinion by former mayor of MKE Tom Barrett. He accuses Senator Ron Johnson of flip flopping after getting on his "high horse." www.jsonline.com/story/opinio...
We need to reform money in politics. The threats to republicans that they'll be primaried if they don't do exactly as Trump says proves this. That is implying an outside effort that isn't paid for by people in the representatives district or state.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
A good but depressing explanation of why republicans are going ahead with the big beautiful bill by Noah Millman "It’s the kind of move that could persuade the other driver to swerve first. But it’s also liable to get both drivers killed, and the American economy along with it."
I choose to blame Ron Johnson.
But “we’re broke”, right? We can’t afford health care, housing, education, etc right? A budget is a moral document. 🇺🇸
