There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...
The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm
Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...
She literally had her passport with her at the airport and still got detained. AND THEN ICE lied to her family about where she was even though her phone location was being shared.

Simple as that! Brian Kilmeade tells oil tankers to go through the Strait of Hormuz: “Show some guts and go through that strait and and do it”
This is a lovely idea

Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.
the funniest part of this article is when the author hits pause to be like "I personally don't read romance, I am in a book club called the Difficult Books Club where we read the Brothers Karamazov and kind of hate it." seems like the wrong person to be writing about romance and fanfic then idk
Screengrab: “After slashing federal jobs, Trump administration ramps up hiring — The reversal reflects a retreat from one of the president's early priorities. It could give the White House greater influence over a civilian workforce of 2 million.”
Fresh hell in the @washingtonpost.com part two: abject failure to mention this loyalist hiring surge is straight out of Project 2025.
Americans have no idea how much the world is shook, folks. Here in Thailand they have a running tally of how many days' worth of fuel the country has left.
NO NO NO YOU DON’T
GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA
federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL

Wait...the US forces everyone, including employees, to file their own taxes but doesn't provide the means for them to do so itself?? I refuse to believe the US is a real country, it has to be a work of fiction with the worst world building in history lol.
At first glance this idea may SOUND good, but the truth is that no poor person will benefit from it, middle class people will benefit from it only marginally, but the well-to-do would benefit substantially. This is a perverse policy disguised as a middle class cut

Idaho joined a growing list of red states rejecting the DOJ’s unprecedented requests for private voter data.
At least eight GOP-led states have so far refused the department’s demands — and they’re citing concerns over how such information could be used ahead of the midterms.https://bit.ly/4cwKV55
Republicans voted to overturn the ACA DOZENS of times, not because they actually could, but just to show they believed it was illegitimate & to keep their base engaged with them
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
These people are, to be blunt, substantially less intelligent than they believe they are.
Seattle folks. Get involved. Let’s bring our ferry system up to speed as the integral part of our transportation system it is.
One of the most depressing things about the war in Iran is how a bunch of grown ass men are acting like this is a fucking video game.
Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music
Several dozen folks did
Some even dubbed music over the original clip.
I haven't been able to get this out of my head.
So I give you

Australian TV news: "And notice which country is not on the buy side of that chart. The United States, they don't need it. They've got their own oil. They're fine. But you won't see any of those countries that are on the buy side of that chart bombing Iran, so they close those straits."

I just want to make sure that everyone knows Trump's war of choice in Iran is costing us $900 million a day according to the latest figures
Not $900 a day, not $9,000 a day, not $90,000 a day, not $900,000 a day, not $9 million a day, not $90 million a day
$900 million a day
Having a teary cup of tea about this today. It delights and stuns me to see this kind of thoughtful writing about something my dad had a hand in bringing to life. The art we make keeps moving through the world, even after we’re gone. It can be silly and meaningful all at once.
