This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor. Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1996...
People are misreading him when they say he’s going to appeal Trump voters by *avoiding* “culture war” issues. He just doesn’t want to debate them because, to him, there’s no debate.
Just let it all happen. The President is the king. He has spoken. JFC!!!
Is this a union- busting effort?
Excellent research by my colleague @hannahomestead.bsky.social!
Public servants should face the public. So why are federal agents wearing masks to hide their faces? Check out our mobile billboard driving around Washington, D.C. right now demanding federal agents take their masks off!
Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.
When even a Supreme Court justice is using the term “Calvinball” it feels like we can drop the pretense that laws are real
Republicans have long sought to cripple government efforts so they can turn around and say "look they're so worthless!" deregulate! privatize! Good luck, America, is right.
I’m pretty sure SCOTUS will see that the transfer of power won’t happen and so will find a way to “legally” un-require it. Because if a coup is legal it’s not a coup.
No one wants to protect sex offenders. It's bullshit that wealthy have a different justice system 🤬😡
Meatpacking jobs used to be desirable, good-paying, difficult job. So many in ag have taken advantage of these undocumented or temp doc workers for decades-- using them while simultaneously scapegoating them. Dems need to stop going along with this. Make them citizens. Stop caving in
fckng jackboots
Our closest was Godfather's in Worthington, Minnesota. Personal pan pizzas. Then to the skating rink afterwards! 🛼🛼🛼🥘🥘🥘
Farmers animals have better airflow requirements. Boycott Florida and anyone who supports this.
seriously, the ghost of D6 past! the horror 😱
Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty. It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days. But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.
I'm going to have to watch this nightly for inspiration
Anyone downplaying what is going on in this moment by claiming correct analysis is “alarmist” is not a safe person to be around especially as people grasp for any kind of stability they can in the rising tide of open fascism and its accompanying ambiguity, atomization and unreality.
It truly cannot be overstated how deep Americans are in the hold of what I have been coming to call authoritarian entropy, basically the infrastructure building and hardening phase of state power being reconstructed as a fascist force.
Wasn’t Trump’s rally on January 6th the most violent day in DC in like 50 years?
This is a deeply unsatisfying pitch. But it's the best I can do. www.thebulwark.com/p/how-to-mak...
“sandwich based assaults on our brave officers are up 1000% percent”
Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…
Did RFK Jr just take away your cancer treatment? mRNA promised to help turn cancer from a death sentence into a manageable condition.
It makes sense, then, that social media leads to this. Where fact and fiction have no boundary, where knowledge and bullshit unite so completely. We're screwed.
That is not how democracy works, Jesse.
It’s like West Virginia was starved for representation. For someone to just come. Bernie did and my fellow West Virginians are in love. /
The idea that President can negotiate/dictate bilateral “deals” by using the full force of the federal government to punish and humiliate his perceived enemies goes against the whole idea of the rule of law. That should be the story, rather than normalizing this authoritarian behavior.
Trump officials look to block abortion services at veterans affairs hospitals Rollback on Biden-era policy would prohibit abortions for veterans, even in cases of rape, incest or health threats www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Whether it's conservatives assassinating State Senators in Minnesota or liberals refusing to sell Alan Dershowitz pierogis in Martha's Vineyard, both sides have taken incivility to an extreme.
Me: "So which country should @aoc.bsky.social go back to?" Mick Mulvaney: "She's an American citizen." Me: "So why did Trump tell her to go back to her country?" I asked former Trump WH chief of staff Mulvaney if he ever challenged his then boss on his racist tweets. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wolq...

Demented a-hole
That demon tried to leap out of him
shameless
How anyone can believe a word out of his idiot mouth is beyond comprehension

Behold, the leading political philosopher on the right.
so fckng depressing I guess I have to let go of my false gods....
Same problem with doctors, and customer satisfaction scores impinging on their time to practice medicine.
The lying requires 2 parties: the liar, and the citizens that don't care. Kindergarteners have stronger morals.
Their one policy: Don’t believe your lying eyes
"please be good and don't do more recessions, and can't we just get along?🥹" What a crock of shit. No wonder people feel like "both parties are the same"
I went there one summer to shoot wolverines, that's how we met. Of course I know how to use a 12ga shotgun!
There is a staggering level of blasé naivety in Canada's media coverage of MAGA's attempt to destroy our country. National Post and subsidiaries are American owned and totally onside. CBC/ CTV are bending over backwards to be "fair" to Vichy Canada. Wake up folks. pressprogress.ca/the-albertan...
this is the way
The most important questions in politics right now: www.thebulwark.com/p/why-wont-d...

"Republicans search for any reason, no matter how trivial, to vote for their candidates. Democrats search for any reason, no matter how trivial, to stay home."
THIS is what I don't understand. The wide variation on accountability. WTAF?
We drove our niece to Milwaukee to see Paramore, back when the world seemed mostly sane.
Hayley Williams is a BADASS!
Powell: "Increased tariffs are pushing up prices in some categories of goods. Near-term measures of inflation expectations have moved up on balance over the course of this year on news about tariffs."
100% talking out of their ass People should have to declare that they won't use any medical care developed by NIH research, if they're so careless about destroying it.
creative and sweary.... the best combination!
They took away abortion and criminalized miscarriages, so people stopped trying to have children. The pregnancy rate dropped. There are now not enough new births to replace the workforce in the United States. And it’s still dropping as more people are choosing abstinence. /
United Farm Workers President Teresa Romero - Two years ago, we invited all 100 senators to work in the fields. Only two of them accepted: Alex Padilla and Cory Booker.
A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week. He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention. We cannot become immune to this cruelty.
NEW: We now know what Bove lied to Congress about according to the 3rd whistleblower. He lied when he said he didn’t offer promotions for DoJ lawyers who helped him dismiss the Eric Adams case and consequences for those who didn’t. There is audio evidence. Gift link: wapo.st/4fdVVmX
New "national emergency" just dropped. Seems like a stretch! www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...
our government is now based upon people talking out of their ass 100% of the time
When I try to share this to the Facebook, it says you are a malicious bot?! That seems kind of personal.
Hey, who wants to see a forehead-slap-worthy poll result? www.pbump.net/o/americans-...
Why billionaires are funding the far right
Dems should vow to impeach Bove and any nominee who did not testify truthfully under oath
Yes, this IS absolute madness.
SIMPLE QUESTION HERE: Why are we still ‘playing by the rules’ of the Constitution, when Trump certainly isn’t? Why?! 😎✨
It's so depressing how our leaders can just lie so constantly, and the rest of us are held to much higher standards. If I lied like these people, I would have lost my license long ago. (as it should be)
disgusting
A House Committee voted to grant Monsanto amnesty from lawsuits. These corporate monopolies are attempting the same thing in Iowa, now the #2 cancer state. Unlike Joni Ernst, I don't think we all have to die because of special interests buying our democracy. www.thenewlede.org/2025/07/vote...
Canadian man locked up in ICE detention—after U.S. Coast Guard capsizes his boat in Canadian waters. He fell into the lake & was drowning—begging officers "Throw me a buoy!" Then handcuffed, processed & turned over to Border Patrol—locked up in jail cell while still soaked with just dirty blanket.
5. “The director of national intelligence and the White House are lying, again,” Susan Miller, a retired CIA officer, said. “We definitely had the intel to show with high probability that the specific goal of the Russians was to get Trump elected.” www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
For me the hardest part has been to realize how the leadership of many of these institutions knew what the stakes were, and either decided that they could ride it out or actually just wanted fascism all along.

2 points here: 1) There's no statute of limitations in New York for Ghislaine Maxwell's crimes (maybe also options in New Mexico and Florida). A pardon can't stop state prosecutions. 2) We just got another reason to release the Epstein files: so the public can test Maxwell's truthfulness.
Why would her words be of any value? She's a proven slimeball.
This is what I've always thought: why build school building and let them sit empty2/3 of the time? Different staff before and after school, different function when not in class, WAY less running around for parents and students.
A convicted sex offender open to pardoning a convicted child sex trafficker…
yeah, being too busy (parents) is the reason you learn how to cook an egg and wash your own clothes
I just learned they make mini clothes washers! That would have been awesome in college, would have reduced the schleps to the laundromat
Newsmax has started referring to Ghislaine Maxwell as a “victim.”

Columbia University has handed over its undergraduate admissions process to Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, who will now decide at their sole discretion whether the university has admitted enough white people. It's no longer an independent institution.
"I'll go backstage [Miss TEEN]. Everyone's getting dressed & ready. No men are anywhere, but I'm allowed b/c I'm the owner & therefore, I'm inspecting it. They're standing there w/no clothes on [TEENS]. You see incredible looking women [TEEN girls]. So I sorta get away w/things like that."
“More racist than a 19th-century political illustrator” is a high bar, but the US govt has put its mind to it and by golly they’ve done it, this is the MAGA moonshot
Exactly. A real pendejo’s pendejo
Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.
