Yes, those are the powers of his “charms.”
To all Nigel #FarageRiots “Flag-shaggers”, please ask someone to read this for you….
Running list: 😡 Invaded Los Angeles 😡 Murdered 11 boaters he accused of being drug dealing gang members 😡 Oversaw the biggest data heist in American history 😡 Extorted lawyers for free work 😡 Extorted Intel for a 10% stake 😡 Kidnapped American citizens who “looked” undocumented
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

I would watch the shit out of that. Damn.
I read every post of yours! I’m SUCH a fan. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the insanely hard work you do. I may be poor, but I read. And I love everything you do.

THE CORPORATE "MEDIA" SEEMS UNCONCERNED THAT DING-DONG-DEMENTO DONALD TRUMP (IS HE ALIVE?) HAS BEEN HIDING FROM THEM FOR FIVE DAYS. WHY DOES THE COUCHFUCKER KEEP TELLING US HE'S READY TO TAKE OVER? NO ONE ASKED YOU, BRO. YOUR FAVORITE WRITER (ME!) EXPLORES THIS IN HIS LATEST POST —> bit.ly/4lTj5kq
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
But…but…they didn’t mean to, right?
As crazy as that sounds…I wonder. He DID look different. I noticed that, too. And he was far more animated than I’d ever seen him. At the time, I wondered if he was losing his marbles, too.

Gavin Newsom responds to Fox's OBSESSION with him
I lived in Italy for the better part of a decade. Fascism is different there. Here, it is much much worse. I don’t agree with Meloni on anything, but she’s a Trump whisperer.
Trump would concede at the table what Russia could not take on the battlefield. Americans should not accept this from this weak ass president.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
American corporations are on pace to spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, an all-time high. Buybacks don't create more jobs, increase wages, or grow the economy — but they do help juice CEO pay that's often tied to stock performance. Nothing trickles down to workers.
After four months in the hell that is CECOT, Andry Hernández Romero is now free. @timmiller.bsky.social spoke to him in an exclusive interview about what he experienced, how he survived and how he plans to go forward. This is what he told Tim. 👇

7 Nobel Prize-winning economists are demanding a wealth tax in France. Their proposed solution is simple: a 2% minimum tax on fortunes over €100 million to ensure the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. The world's leading economic experts agree. It's time for a #wealthtax.

Very Serious News Outlets dead silent on this with Trump in office but when a Democrat was president...
The more we learn about the U.S.-Japan "trade deal", the more we learn there is no deal. Trump rushed out an "announcement" after a 70 minute conversation with Japan's trade negotiator and the press dutifully reported a deal. 1/ No text and widening disagreement on terms.
Rounding up actual criminals takes actual work. Criminals don’t hang around Lowe’s parking lots looking for jobs. It’s easier for these goons to dragnet for anyone brown, regardless of legality. This is who we are now. This is us.
That’s a Mint News story. In other words, bogus. Having said that, China has dumped its holdings over time; just not all at once.
Without a trial, eh? After the half-billion dollar settlement for failing to protect female students from rapists? Columbia. Man, you guys are killing it.
Jesus F Christ. Are we going to be forced to disappear?
He’s trying to kill us. I’m not joking, so let me say it again for the people in the back row: HE’S TRYING TO KILL US.

Sen. Jon Ossoff: "Trump promised to release the Epstein Files. Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was gonna release the Epstein Files?"
I really hope you’re right!

Texas lawmakers failed to pass a bill to improve local disaster warning systems this year www.texastribune.org/2025/07/06/t... via @texastribune.org
In the U.S., people often get away with murder. The clearance rate — the share of cases that result in an arrest or are otherwise solved — was 58% in 2023. Compared with its peers, the country overall does an unusually poor job of solving killings.

When experts warned for months that the NWS “is being destroyed” by Trump’s personnel cuts, Howard Lutnick assured Congress that forecasting won’t be affected. Now TX officials are blaming a faulty forecast by NWS for the deadly impact of a storm. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.
Q: "A 75 year old Cuban national died in ICE custody. He had lived in the U.S. for 60 years...Is there anything you can tell us about that?" Border Czar Tom Homan: "People die in ICE custody. People die in county jails. People die in state prisons."

@timmiller.bsky.social: "They were zip tying the elderly people in wheelchairs who were protesting Medicaid cuts which is a bad image. I don't know if it was really necessary to bring out the zip ties."
This will be devastating to people like me who have been AI’d out of a job, are too old to hire and too young to retire.
Oh, that fragile, fragile masculinity.

Mamdani is a real firebrand, but he has little political experience. Cuomo is compromised. Brad seems like he’s willing to put it all out there, but is struggling to connect with voters. Why can’t NYC get a decent mayor?
I’m not convinced one way or another, but NYT, this has your former reporting on Bush’s weapons of mass destruction aaaalll over it. You carry a lot of water, don’t you?
Terrific. What is he doing to help?
All they do is block them! It’s ridiculous. Someone should ask me, because I know how to destroy a troll. You have to humiliate them. Ad hoc attacks? No problem. Find what you need on their wall and USE IT. Accuse them of size insecurity. There are always spelling/grammar issues. Call them a dumbass
I hate AI. First, it will take our jobs; next, it will lead to our ruin. But…the horse is already out of the barn. We HAVE to lead this tech, even though I suspect we aren’t playing with fire, but our own destruction.
Over the past month Senator Mike Lee posted or retweeted on Twitter nearly 1,400 times, or about 46 posts a day. Of the nearly 700 posts Lee authored, 47 of them came between the hours of 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. Someone help Mike Lee!
You are exactly right, Chris Murphy. I’m also mindful of the fact that Iran, like Afghanistan, is a mountainous region, which is not a playing field we do well on. America can’t afford another interminable war, not with the problems we face at home.
For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from: -Sinking poll numbers -A devastating (and unpopular) budget bill -Harmful trade wars -Unleashing the military on American soil -Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism We must remain on high alert.
They are such turds. All of them, no exception.
I think we are dangerously underestimating how many jobs we will lose to AI and how deep the spiritual cost will be. The industry tells us strong restrictions on AI will hurt us and help China. I wrote this to explain how they pulling one over on us. www.chrismurphyct.com/p/in-our-scr...
Funniest damn thing ever.
Roommate of Minnesota shooter tells @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy: He "would be offended if people thought he was a Democrat” Listened to InfoWars. Hated Walz and other Dem politicians. Loved Trump.
I take great comfort in the fact that the Trump-o-sphere is grossly incompetent. Much like their pathetic military parade yesterday, this, too, will end up in a heap of fried wires on the floor.
A man impersonating a police officer assassinated a Democratic state legislator in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz said on Saturday, and killed the lawmaker’s husband. The assailant also shot and injured another Democratic lawmaker and his wife, officials said. nyti.ms/4jRTrvw

@padilla.senate.gov represents the best of the Senate. The disgraceful and disrespectful conduct of DHS agents, pushing and shoving him out of a briefing like that, demands our condemnation. He will not be silenced or intimidated. His questions will be answered. I’m with Alex.
A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

The Pope should be on the media during the parade. I know I’ll like what he has to say except I have to appeal to Pope Leo to protect our LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters during Pride Month.
Outlets "have to pretend that there’s always two sides to this," Costas observed. "There really isn’t two sides to much of what Donald Trump represents."
Images of tanks pulling up for a huge PARADE that NO ONE asked for that will cost money & take military personnel away from more important things at a time when Americans are being told we don’t have money for food & healthcare seems wild to me.
Oh, honey . . . You can’t even get your wife back.
