Funny how 7-10 million of us managed to gather all over the country without a single violent incident that was not instigated by MAGA. But the minute a few hundred of us gather to protest ICE we turn into violent rioters who need to be pepper sprayed?

Smells like, complete and utter bullshit.

I enjoy WIRED but I’ve been trying for two hours to manage my subscription online and the Conde site won’t let me log in even though I can log into Wired.com. Not to mention the infuriating practice of sending a subscription renewal reminder without telling you what the renewal cost will be.

Mike Johnson: "we've had one of the most productive Congresses in the history of the institution."

(House GOP recently caused the longest government shutdown in US history and took a paid vacation for 54 days on your dime)

Since we can’t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, we’re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen.

Help us move the needle!
Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits

When Mark Kelly spoke to the troops, he wasn’t talking politics. He was reinforcing the pillars of a free country.👇

I am again reminding sports media companies that I will pay them 💵💵💵to give me the video stream from your broadcast and the choice of audio stream. Fans want THEIR favorite broadcasters instead of the national feed. This is triply true for college football.

MAGA Christianity:
1. Calling Zohran Mamdani a "terrorist" bc he's Muslim.
2. Cheer when Trump buries his face in the laps of actual Muslim terrorists.

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.

If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

Hypothesis: it’s not just the Epstein files keeping the House adjourned. There are quite a few risks: Epstein Files, budget/shutdown, Impeachment, simple majority to remove the Speaker.

Am I close on this?

Anyone else have an iOS bug with @bsky.app and video playback? If I focus a video, I can’t go back to its post or my timeline without quitting and restarting.

At this point, every single journalist needs to have a simple one-sheet of the major news events that Mike Johnson and his toadies claim to have not seen, or know nothing about.

Like, hand it to them. "Okay, here. Take your time. I can wait." Call their bluff, ffs. This is absurd.

This is quite a story: the US employed every strongarm tactic available, including personal threats against delegates and their families, to derail an agreement on reducing shipping emissions that was almost finalized. on.ft.com/47lq3dZ

We should be able to vote on the postseason broadcast teams, just like All-Stars and umpires.
