This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks!
50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it.
I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”

Unfuckingbelievable.
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Rick Wilson compares her stuttering evasions, insults, and faux bursts of performative outrage to a fake orgasm — Unfortunately, this makes her performance seem far more entertaining than it actually was; and is unfair to orgasms.

Wow. Judge Immergut just issued a second TRO from the bench blocking the deployment of out of state National Guard troops to Portland. This analysis is holding up well👇
Trump’s attempt to federalize the National Guard in Portland has no legal basis
No invasion
No rebellion
No breakdown of law
He’s using a years-old video to justify a power grab
We @democracydefendersfund.org are in court to stop it

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

Kirk is not a modern day St. Paul, despite what Cardinal Dolan says. The only thing that such myth-making achieves is fomenting resentment, curtailing dialogue, and stifling action to otherwise prevent this tragedy from happening again, says John Grosso.
Cardinal Dolan calls the late Charlie Kirk 'a modern day St. Paul.' I'm not making this up.
Cardinal Dolan joins the Catholic right's ever growing quest to lionize the late Charlie Kirk as a Christian martyr.

For quite a while, our stand-up comics and talk-show hosts were just our court jesters. Then about 10 years ago, they became our truth-tellers and prophets, a curious role for them and one I think they felt obliged to take on because few others were. And now they are becoming virtual martyrs.
