“The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn’t even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it.”

The fundamental problem with the 13th amendment:
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

Interesting how it's "8 Democrats Defected" and a reciprocal
"8 Republicans Hold Out for $500K bribes".
I'm assuming these corrupt assholes said they wouldn't vote to reopen the government unless they got to wet their beaks.
New spending bill would pave the way for Senators to sue for $500,000 each over phone records searches -- and appears to make 8 GOPers immediately eligible

I hate to say that it's correct. In extremis, absent even a priest, any Catholic can baptize someone into the faith.

How much would you bet that the courtiers around the mad king transpose the "approval" and "disapproval" labels when showing him poll results? Heather Cox Richardson toay:

Trump boasted to the House Republicans on Tuesday that his poll numbers are the best he’s ever had, but in fact a Gallup poll out today shows his approval rating at its lowest in his second term: just 37% of American adults approve of his performance in office. Journalist Bill Grueskin notes that this puts Trump six points below where Biden was after the final U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. The biggest shift has been among Independents. Only 29% of them say they approve of his job performance, down from 46% at the beginning of his term.

I was discussing with a friend "What is evil/" and we went through the "lack of empathy" and ended up on "enjoying the suffering of innocents":

And earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security announced a new policy that will clear the way for the agency to deport children who are in the United States as documented victims of abuse, neglect or abandonment under a classification known as Special Immigrant Juveniles.

Depends what you define as "their interests". I can almost guarantee that your definition is different from theirs. Evergreen:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Proof positive that the "trickle down" theory of economic growth through investment is nonsense:
ROCKFLEET PRIVATE CAPITAL INTELLIGENCE Wednesday, July 2, 2025 | Liquidity Engineering Edition Market Intelligence: Validation Accelerating Since our Secondary Renaissance analysis, institutional data confirms what we identified early. PitchBook reports that the private wealth channel has an estimated $450 trillion in net assets and is expected to invest over $7 trillion in the private markets by 2033.

Celebrities go to space. Moira Donegan brings the fire:
www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
It is not misogynist to say that these women do not have their priorities in order. Rather, it is misogynist of them to so forcefully associate womanhood with cosmetics and looks, rather than with any of the more noble and human aspirations to which space travel might acquaint them – curiosity, inquiry, discovery, exploration, a sense of their own mortality, an apprehension of the divine. These women, who have placed themselves as representatives for all women with their promotion of the flight – positioning themselves as aspirational models of femininity – have presented a profoundly antifeminist vision of what womankind’s future is: dependent on men, confined to triviality, and deeply, deeply silly.
