Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.
Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Sen. Martin Heinrich: “Remember when Republicans said we couldn't afford those tax credits for your healthcare?
Now they’re burning through almost a billion dollars a day on their Iran War”
Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.
First day of NFL free agency and I got carried away and signed with Jacksonville as a long snapper. Dreading the conversation when my wife gets home from work.
The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
At every USL game this weekend, USL players paused play for 60 seconds in a powerful show of solidarity.
They’re united and ready to fight for the fair contract they deserve.
As the players stand still, America’s unions stand with them.

We're at war with Iran because the President of the United States likes to fuck kids
That's super clear, right?
He fucks kids
Children
Trump fucks Children
That needs to be very clear
NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
INSANE MICHELIN CHEF GUY: In the past, I have perhaps been a bit hard on my employees and I apologize.
REPORTER: A former line cook says you rented a bulldozer and drove it into his house while screaming "this is how subtly you're placing parsley motherfucker"
CHEF: i now realize that was wrong
Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would
AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
If oil prices spike, working families feel it first at the pump, at the store, everywhere. Dismissing those concerns as foolish ignores real economic pain.
By continuing to insist that the school in Minab was hit by a stray Iranian missile, Trump is doubling down on his belief that his supporters are stupid and gullible.
Seven bombs hit, not one. The impact marks match those of US munitions designed to penetrate then explode.
i think that one of the things that nobody in the mainstream talks about (yes i know we complain about it on here all the time if you think this is the mainstream oh boy) is how successfully politicians have divested themselves of any responsibility for anything at all
NEW: Pope Leo XIV spent the morning urging President Trump to end his war in Iran — for the fourth time this week — then celebrated Mass with altar girls at his side in a struggling Roman parish no pope has visited in forty years.
Glad this was vetoed. We agree this bill injected politics into a function of government that should remain nonpartisan. Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed SB1439, which would have created a special “Turning Point” license plate and directed $17 of the $25 fee to Turning Point USA.
Putting Smoltz in the booth for the WBC feels evil, because it is.
You know, @mlb.com, lotta baseball fans here on Bluesky, the official sports app and a lot of great posting.
And it’s just too bad you’re not here, too.
Oh well.
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

A federal judge in Washington, D.C. has ruled that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed as the leader of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) the independent federal agency that oversees Voice of America and other U.S.-funded international broadcasters.
Northwestrn men's basketball play a single game without ripping my heart out challenge: impossible
TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.
CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.
I went a bit overboard taking #PHOTOS of the last night's #Sahara sunset! So, here's another ... It was lovely of the egret to come out for a little night fishing, exactly as I started taking snaps. I did have a heck of a time keeping all those horizontals straight tho! #NatureIsMagic #photographs
Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.
