Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

The earth is round.
The sky is blue.
The moon is not made of cheese.
AND THAT SIGNATURE BELONGS TO TRUMP.
If you have a problem with that, you are choosing to be part of the cover up for a pedophile ring that seems to involve the person you are covering for.

The guy that ordered 8 fighter jets to perform a low altitude fly-over in an effort to drown out Epstein survivors is the same guy who wants you to believe he's innocent.

Let’s be blunt: the president who cut pediatric cancer research isn’t going to do anything to prevent kids from being shot in school either. Our children deserve so much better than Donald Trump.

Dearest Martha,
The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover.
Yours in glaze,

I keep pretty extensive lists in my Amazon account.
Everything that's marked as a Prime special has not actually moved at all. They claim it's discounted but it's the same price it all was a week ago.
The whole event is BS

HUGE: Senate Parliamentarian says that Mike Lee's public land sell-off violates the Byrd rule, requires 60 votes in the Senate. A bunch of other terrible anti-environment provisions do too.
This isn't over, but this is a huge win.

So after terrorizing communities and ripping families apart with ICE raids at farms and restaurants, DHS is suddenly “pausing” because of labor gaps? Wild how the war on undocumented immigrants stops the second your rosé doesn’t pour itself and your salad’s missing veggies.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.
