This throw seems impossible... it just kept going

One of the many problems with Trump trying to fire Jerome Powell is we know it's something he wants to use to distract everyone from his trips to Epstein island, but it's such an important and impactful thing that we do have to talk about it even if he doesn't go through with it

Every time Trump aggressively says to ignore Epstein stuff, this is all I think about:

The Supreme Court is poised to issue a summary 6-3 order without explanation stopping any lower court from interfering with the illegal firing of Powell.

1. It doesn't matter who you voted for when it comes to needing aid after a disaster.

2. More people in Texas voted for Kamala Harris than people in New York voted for Kamala Harris.

3. More people in Florida voted for Kamala Harris than people in New York voted for Kamala Harris.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

So now that there's a rift between Tucker Carlson and Trump, what's the over/under on The DNC putting Tucker on a speaking tour to try and court moderate Republicans?

Don’t send me an unsolicited picture of your peewee cocktapus unless you want me to…
A: find your mom’s Facebook
B: find a picture she uploaded of you reminiscing about what a nice young man you were
C: badly photoshop that into a locket
D: convince you I’m your daughter.

Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

I think we can see from our neighbors to the west that former football coaches do not make good Senators

All the truth in the world can’t compete with Facebook, and I have no idea how to come back from it

you know who else came from chicago and was on "a mission from god"

Pope Leo XIV's grandparents were 7th Ward Creoles The newly elected pontiff, born in Chicago, has ancestral ties to the city’s historic Seventh Ward, according to genealogists at The Historic New Orleans Collection.

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it.

A reminder.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.

This is absolutely true

This is 1000000% true

"Tesla Inc. employs an odometer system that utilizes predictive algorithms, energy consumption metrics, and driver behavior multipliers that manipulate and misrepresent the actual mileage travelled by Tesla vehicles," reads the lawsuit. "In so doing, Defendants can, and do, accelerate the rate of depreciation of the value of Tesla vehicles and also the expiration of Tesla vehicle warranties to reduce or avoid responsibility for contractually required repairs as well as increase the purchase of its extended warranty policy."

It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service

Just incredible grift

One of the sources of rot running through our political, intellectual, and media institutions is the total triumph of the idea that democracy means outsourcing your morality and point of view to a fuzzily incoherent view of what's popular. Total rejection of the idea of morality as personal virtue.

In this Ohio diner, recession still means the thing that happens to your gums after years of Snus and Mountain Dew. But they do know this: Any economic hardship is worth it as long as whatever happens to Blacks and Hispanics is even worse.

Wall Street bets discord is so goddamn funny right now

Thank you @healthbeat.org for allowing me to share my thoughts about today's layoffs at the CDC. The CDC has been instrumental in keeping Americans safe and healthy and weakening the CDC only means more preventable deaths, greater economic harm, and a less secure nation.

They say the average family is only one major unexpected expense or tragedy away from poverty. Tots and pears with these poor folks

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver

Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

In recent years, Judge Boasberg has:

- ordered the release of Hillary’s emails

- ensured Trump’s tax returns never became public

- restricted disclosure from the Mueller investigation

- limited disclosure of grand jury material in the Trump classified docs case.

The resistance, he ain’t.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.
