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.
I'm just glad she's not naked
This is the kind of shit they'll spin to make it the Dems' fault too. "If the Dems didn't let this city get so lawless, there would have been more people to take care this Minnesota situation"
Though IDK it could be blindingly close to the real number, it's hard to keep track
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
"'Trump’s rhetoric is incredibly damaging to tourism,' one D.C. restaurant owner said, asking for anonymity to speak candidly. 'People are too scared to put out numbers, but the tourism industry in D.C. is hurting.'" www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-s...
Because, you know, Dupont Circle such a hotbed of crime and mayhem, with blood lining the sidewalks and the sounds of gunshots every 3.4 seconds
IDK about you, but I DEFINITELY feel SO MUCH SAFER with this shit around my city
If two trans shooters is a "trend," then how about the 5,636 cisgender white male shooters that preceded this? (Before anyone says anything I made that number up, it's meant to be hyperbolic)
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
The fact that Pam Bondi keeps repeating "nobody is above the law," without irony given her boss, is just fucking astounding
MAGA thinks "you" just means "those guys." The Others. The black and brown people, the LGBTQ+s, the immigrants (even if they're lawfully here). We've already seen several examples of "those guys" including MAGA diehards. But they never seem to learn.
This guy frequently starts his emails with "good day." Am I weird that I think it comes across as curt? Like I can't even think of a normal-sounding tone of voice that would make it pleasant. Comes across like Wonka dismissing Charlie after the Fizzy Lifting Drink incident.
When a red state that overwhelmingly supported Tr*mp gets hit with a disaster, their loudest whine will be "where's the government that's supposed to help me???"
Let’s be clear about what is happening: This man is being punished — and disappeared — because he embarrassed our pretender king. They trumped up a criminal case against him because he was embarrassing.
In the NIH funding case, Justice Gorsuch (joined by Justice Kavanaugh) claimed that this was the third time in recent weeks that lower courts had "defied" a #SCOTUS ruling. As today's "One First" explains, that claim is not only nonsense; it's enabling a dangerous anti-court narrative on the right:
"Be careful, his bowtie is really a camera...."
Justice Jackson is basically reporting live from inside a garbage fire www.ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/nih-c...
If the DOJ says nothing was edited out of the transceipt, I TOTALLY believe them. They have NEVER lied before, especially not in the last few months. Justice Dept. releases full transcript, audio of Ghislaine Maxwell interview www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
These ladies have tears in their eyes as they're begging for his help. This dude cannot even come up with new, actually believable lies.
Funny isn’t it that we hear Trump smear and discredit everyone who’s ever narcissistically injured him but he never mentions the guy who tried to kill him except for Trump glorifying himself as the chosen survivor.
This is getting very bad: *FBI raids top Trump critic's home *Trump loyalist gins up "mortgage fraud" pretexts for DOJ probes of Schiff, Letitia James, Lisa Cook *Bannon says ICE will monitor 2026 voting *DHS memo vows LA operations "for years to come" New from me: newrepublic.com/article/1994...
Are there still boxes of classified documents sitting around Mar a Lago?
Bondi: This guy may have been holding on to classified documents! Lock him up! Also Bondi: Classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, whatutalkinbout? FBI searches home of former Trump national security adviser John Bolton www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
From earlier this summer: how to protect your phone at the border/airport. slate.com/podcasts/wha...
They really seem to think that Newsom is trying to capture some of Tr*mp's ... appeal? ... with his recent media blitz
Isn't there some law that requires campaign emails to include an opt-out link?
“If you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you,” Bondi posted on X Thursday. .... Without any sense of irony, given J6 and this Administration's decision to grant clemency to over 1,600 people for assaulting law enforcement officers www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
I mean honestly, if Pam fucking Bondi is your boss, expressing your displeasure at the military occupation of DC in any manner is a pretty bad move
Special honors have no meaning under this president now. Every list of award recipients needs to have asterisks after the names of those awarded by Tr*mp www.thedailybeast.com/white-house-...
Like the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Tr*mp has now made it so that people listed as receiving special awards like this one need an asterisk next to their names
There are leopards out there waiting to eat his face
#amtrak is all here's a new train and it's "an evolution of travel" "setting a new standard for American train travel" while unveiling a train that can go up to 10 mph faster than the existing ones and can shave up to 20 MINS off your trip www.afar.com/magazine/amt...
By the by, this is the government totalitarianism that 2A adherents always point to for the need to maintain their cache of guns. Their silence (and lack of action) here is telling.
Washington D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb says Metropolitan Police Department officers must follow local policies that govern their policing, even as President Trump vows to crack down on crime.
I'm still fighting against the word "invite" as a noun. I send around "calendar invitations".
There. Are. FOUR. LIGHTS!
Tr*mp administration: The crime rate out there is astronomical and we have to take over random (Democratic) cities to fix it Also Tr*mp administration: Crime is reaching an all-time low Also Tr*mp administration, probably: See? In just 24 hours we've brought crime so far down
It is, however, lost (or willfully ignored) by all his minions, from his close confidants to the random MAGA on the street
The irony is not lost on many in Washington that Trump says spitting on a DC cop is justification for hitting/punching back "hard" when he pardoned hundreds of Jan. 6 rioters who assaulted those same cops — and said attacks on them that day were "minor."
The thing about the National Guard in DC is that it's technically only possible because DC is officially a federal enclave and not a State. It SHOULD be much harder for the feds to deploy the National Guard to basically any other US city. But that's only if anyone cares about the law.
I just discovered the word "centimillionaire" which apparently means "person worth over $100 million (or pounds or euros of whatever)". Question: If "centimeter" means 1/100th of a meter, why does "centimillionaire" mean 100x a millionaire? www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/c...
In the summer, I walk to and from work in light clothes and change in the office. When I put my clothes back into the closet, I imagine myself as #WonderWoman: youtu.be/kz1SYSyR2gY?...
Sorry but wtf is even this question
So here's my thing: I feel like getting alerts from credit monitoring companies is kinda pointless. "Heads up: we found your SSN and/or DOB on a dark web site." "Oh no! What do I do?" "Freeze your account. That's about all. Your info will just sit there meanwhile."
Yes. Why do you ask?
These "hay comida en la casa" people in #DoorDash commercials sure have random money to burn since they'd rather pay delivery fees and tips than stop at the restaurant that they're literally driving by already
A lot of gay guys talk about their first same-sex crush (an awful lot of them go with Chris O'Donnell as Robin from Batman & Robin), but for me these guys definitely did something for me. They're soooooooo handsome.
He doesn't want "people like" Pelosi to profit. He, of course, is not "like" Pelosi.
How about sticking with a space that he can walk the length of without getting winded
I mean, I do wish Jon Osoff would text me for certain reasons other than asking me for money
Wait does that actually say "the US [is] ... demanding that [Iran] end its attempts to harm dissidents and others"? The US thinks it's in a position to demand that another country stop silencing dissent?
Do they really believe that everyone who gets their energy from solar power can only function on electricity during the day? That their evenings are conducted by candlelight? That their food routinely goes bad because their refrigerators shut down every night?
I just don't understand how the GOP justifies this stuff as serving any benefit at all to their constituents, to the American people. How is John Q. Public's life any better by allowing this transaction to go through?
He has succufully created an atmosphere of fear of challenging the government
But his minions will hear his statements and assume he's carried through, so months down the road they'll all be like "shut up you libs, he set up food banks in Gaza!"
“Agents can be heard bragging and making light of the arrests, calling the stun gun use ‘funny’ and quipping: ‘You can smell that … $30,000 bonus.’” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Good job, CBS. Hope that merger was worth it. Then again, it was a lot of money, so I assume you think it is.
I mean, I feel like it's everyone's civic duty to share this youtu.be/Afetnw70S04?...
So he's dissing a FOX NEWS poll?
Remember when everyone was clamoring for the Mueller Report, basically drooling over the prospect that this document will be the one that brings his entire political life to a screeching halt? Then it came out and it was ... pfft. I feel that that's what's going to happen with the Epstein files.
I recently had a client call me on using "save" as a preposition
You're f'in kidding me Now we can just wait for a line of other big-name universities to pre-emptively kiss his ass And then only a small handful of other universities will stand up to him and challenge him in court, and probably win
We're all in that frog-in-boiling-water metaphor. We've all been yelling about how awful things are going since literally Day One of Tr*mp 47, and even before. But we don't seem to have a way out. We're just sitting here, waiting for the water to get hot enough to k*ll us.
Have we all just started skipping over the brief period of time when they didn't exist at all?
.... I mean, trains ran on time
By a 6-3 vote, SCOTUS lets Trump fire the Dem members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, who are protected against removal by statute. Dissenting, Kagan says the majority is undertaking a “permanent transfer of authority” from Congress to the president. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
LOL this is the kind of reporting that gets the WSJ sued by this Orange Turd. And I'm here for it.
I feel like this is those "the cover up is worse than the crime" scenarios I'm not saying pedophilia isn't bad I'm saying his base doesn't care. So just owning up to it and admitting the files exist and implicate him in an organized pedophile trafficking ring wouldn't have hurt him politically
Vienna has been dethroned. The new "world's most livable city" is [drum roll] Copenhagen, which was also, in a separate survey, recently ranked the world's happiest city. US cities basically do everything exactly the opposite of Copenhagen, which is why not a single US city is in the top ten.
The longest-serving Speaker of the US House in history, Republican Denny Hastert, was convicted and imprisoned for raping young boys Why Democrats fail to ever bring this up is beyond me Yes, let’s DEFINETLY talk about the party of pedophiles eu.usatoday.com/story/news/2...
Dammit I'm missing a closing parenthesis here
Yeah I did find your account and it's not one of the ones I'm referring to :)
As if facts and science matter to them?
I searched for "ezersky" on here (editor of the #NYTSpellingBee and the level of vitriol directed toward him (doesn't appear to be good-natured ribbing) is astonishing
let's take stock here: (Democratic) Presidents, via the Dept of Education, can't cancel student debt because statutes don't clearly authorize it. Republican Presidents can cancel/shut down the Dept of Education because, even though only Congress can shut down departments ..., ... 🤷♀️ YOLO?
"Criminals hanging out with criminals" is about the most apt description of the Trump administration I've heard
I mean, I suppose she's right: just look at the modern GOP
If you're voting in favor of legislation and policies just because you're afraid of losing your job, then you don't deserve the job to begin with
HOLY CRAP!! A QAnon account with 55k followers on TS posted this video. Dems can’t take their foot off the gas with this. This will tear his base apart.
My followers believe that Jesus Christ died for their sins. I understand. Jeffrey Epstein died for mine. by Donald Trump
It's still such a mystery to me why Donald Trump wanted Matt Gaetz to be the Attorney General.
At @subradioband.bsky.social show at @930club.bsky.social Band: Do you want to hear us sing "Stacy's Dad"? *Crowd cheers* Guy near me: It's "Stacy's MOM." "Stacy's MOM!" .... OH!, they're doing their own version!
Surprised that this remarkable investigation into how Netanyahu prolonged the war in Gaza — killing tens of 1000s of civilians — for his own benefit has not gotten more attention. So: gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/m...
This is madness
I swear, every single time Chipotle has offered me any kind of special deal, it never lets me use it. I'll log into the app, create an order that complies with the terms, then have it yell at me that the special will be removed for failure to meet the requirements.
These people on #LoveIsland be like "I want someone with a great personality" bu they (we) all know there's a baseline level of hotness that everyone on this show will have
In honor of this year’s Independence Day, carefully read the Declaration’s charges against George III and notice how many eerily echo what the Trump regime is doing.
“NYT grants anonymity to a prominent racist to make a racist attack on a mayoral candidate over hacked data” ought to be a story in its own right
Apparently, neither of them is wrong
@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social
ICE: Immigrants are lawless, dangerous, murderous criminals who don't contribute anything to society, so we're sending them back! Also ICE: (rounds up brown people at their workplaces, at places where they're looking for day jobs, at court where they're reporting as required by law)
He is NOT WRONG
It is worth noting that the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" is incredibly unpopular. I haven't seen a single credible poll with support above 40% of adults. And that's just if you ask people, "Do you support the OBBB." If you poll them about the individual components, it's 30+ points underwater.
And yet she's been a senator since 1997 and keeps getting fucking re-elected
Then after they die, their families are like "those dirty libs just stood by and watched him die!"
Yeah, Indeed dot com, "Apply for these openings at the U.S. DOJ" isn't quite the pitch it once was
