UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres: βMilitary action carries the risk of igniting a chain of events that no one can control in the most volatile region of the world"
I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.
We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness β or one rooted in cruelty and rage.
The year is 2046: A group of masked TrumpCorp officials shoot protestors at the health casino. A reporter from FreePressWithCBS asks Don Jr's VP for life JD Vance about the shooting:
"Unfortunately, this, is a problem we inherited from the Biden administration"
Hillary Clinton: "It then got quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and Pizzagate"
Q: Why was Ghislaine Maxwell invited to your daughter Chelsea's wedding?
HILLARY CLINTON: She came as the +1 of someone who was invited
I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!)
These are not serious people or good faith actors.
Melania Trump, who we actually know met Epstein on several occasions because there are pictures of her with him, would make more sense.
Vance is LYING. "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (H.R. 1) signed by Trump on 4 July 2025, introduced major Medicaid funding cuts βΒ est. at ~ billion to over billion over a decade, significantly threatening financial stability of rural hospitals β linked to potential closures of over 300 rural hospitals.
Unserious clowna** country
first time at the Intuit Dome. intros go pretty hard
New in PN: Manosphere podcasters have second thoughts
"Listening to the Stand-Up Podcast Bros puzzle aloud at what they wrought is an abject lesson in the perils of political media in the influencer era."
BARTIROMO: Patriotism is spreading. You announced your Pledge America Campaign, encouraging broadcasters to air more pro-America content, such as starting each day with the Pledge of Allegiance
CARR: We're in the midst of a great revival. President Trump is truly the political colossus of our time
"The problem is that shrewd politicians like Trump know how to promote themselves and their agendas by exploiting ostensibly non-political media spaces dominated by political novices."
Spot on from @atrupar.com in today's PN:
KHANNA: You can't have Democrats stand while Donald Trump has an ICE agency that is killing American citizens
BARTIROMO: If an ICE agent feels a threat from someone who is armed, they are trained to kill
KHANNA: But Maria, we have a Second Amendment
βPatriotism is spreading. For example, you said TV networks should start each day with the Pledge of Allegianceβ is bonkers.
the dumbest Republican talking point strikes again
"The podcastersβ revisionist history of 2024 confirms they're kickboxing above their political weight class. But absolving themselves of responsibility is necessary because it's the only way manosphere listeners who also may be grappling with a case of voterβs remorse can exonerate themselves too."
Hey folks, have a new piece out from @atrupar.com Public Notice about Rogan and the other manosphere pod-brosβ sudden puzzlement about whom they voted for and endorsed in 2024.
So *now* they see the light? Yeeshβ¦
Please read and share if you like it. Thx!

Welcome to the era of state-controlled media. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This beautiful building will be, when complete, the much anticipated White House Ballroom β The Greatest of its kind ever built! It is a rendering from the Treasury Building, directly across the street, and replaces the very small, dilapidated, and rebuilt many times, East Wing, with a magnificent New East Wing, consisting of a glorious Ballroom that has been asked for by Presidents for over 150 years. Being an identical height and scale, it is totally in keeping with our historic White House. This is the first rendering shown to the Public. If you notice, the North Wall is a replica of the North Facade of the White House, shown at the right hand side of the picture. This space will serve our Country well for, hopefully, Centuries into the future! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
i hope you find something in life you're as excited about as Trump is about his freakin' ballroom
"Rogan, Schulz, and Von now express reservations & regrets, which is fine & merits some praise & encouragement. But for the kid traumatized by watching his dad or abuelita forced to the ground, handcuffed, & whisked away in a van, the pod-brosβ awakenings come too late." β @schaller67.bsky.social
Mamdani: "As the mayor of our city, I will always look to keep an open line of communication with the president of our country, and to do so always with the interests of New Yorkers in mind"
Trump, looking very orange today, sounds tired
Trump on Howard Lutnick: "He's a very innocent guy"
Q: Gov. Pritzker posted on social media that you're planning to steal the midterm elections. How do you respond?
TRUMP: Well, he's gotta focus on crime in his state
Trump tries: "I don't know anything about the Epstein files. I've been fully exonerated."
Trump: "Maybe we'll have a friendly takeover of Cuba. We could very well end up having a friendly takeover of Cuba."
Trump on force against Iran: "It'd be nice if we could do it without, but sometimes you have to do it with. We have the greatest military anywhere in the world. There's nothing close. I'd love not to just it but sometimes you have to."
