Increasingly bemused

Good statement from the US conference of Catholic Bishops

Is there a policy recommendation for getting us out of this spiral? Would Lina Khan have saved us?

He built the platform on asking great questions of smart people. That was excellent. He seems to have jumped the shark after joining the NYT, in part because he started believing he was the one with the answers.

Left-wing ideas have wrecked Democrats’ brand, new report warns The center-left group Welcome relied on polling of hundreds of thousands of voters over six months for its findings, shared first with Semafor.

U.S. journalism and punditry completely ignores the fact that the U.S. electorate belief system --including their belief of what Democrats stand for -- is shaped predominately by a massive right wing propaganda network across AM radio, broadcast TV, cable news, and the internet.

Pretty goofy the Cuomo bros are trying to claim Mamdani ran an "identity politics" campaign when Cuomo spent the whole time going "Bada bing it's-a me Mario Cuomo's son saying fuggetabout it to this Muslim who loves 9/11 because he's muslim. Now that's a spicy meatball from me, Mario Cuomo's son."

FUN FACT:

Our military is not being paid,

but the ICE gremlins are.

Make that make sense.

Imagine watching Apocalypse Now and aspiring to it.

People need to run against her for real this time.

you're young, you're in grad school reading textbooks on survival models while they warn you against Kremlinology, and then somehow just a little while later you're one million years old and you have to learn who laura loomer is so you can get up and do your silly little job

The Nightly electronic newspaper: Who is this dickhead. Picture shows a white man with a moustache, in a black baseball cap, and a black jacket, calling him “Australia’s least wanted”.

The Aussie press not holding back when it comes to its coverage of neo-Nazis.

Absolutely not.

You probably have this already but:

At least this is a helpful activity

The new tax law instructs the IRS to probe public opinion on whether they'd like to keep the Direct File program, which lets many taxpayers file their tax returns for free through the IRS, or whether they'd rather pay Turbotax for that privilege instead.
IRS survey on this question is now live:

Curious Elixirs is a brand I enjoy. Their #2 is very gingery - bit of a bite and very refreshing! I also like the #4, which is aperol spritz-like.

The Commanders confirmed that they expect the penalty for missing this target by a year is only $10 million dollars, and only to a max of 5 years or $50 million.

Compared to a loss to the city of $750 million dollars.

This is ridiculous

Look at that exquisite dvd collection!

Spelled on the windows of the State Department, “Women’s Rights are Human Rights”. Dated July 11th, 2025

If you tap and zoom in, you’ll see it:

WOMEN’S RIGHTS ARE HUMAN
RIGHTS

Spelled from the windows of the U.S. State Department, July 11th. A quiet defiance. Because only solidarity, strength, and resistance can hold the line against rising fascism.

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

We're going to need Nuremberg trials when this is over, yes, and to send a significant number of people currently in the federal government to prison. But we're going to need an unwavering commitment to ostracizing the supporters of it, as well. Never accept them again in polite society.

Rooting for you!!!

Former President Bill Clinton, who was first elected governor at 32 years old, says that 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani doesn't have enough experience to be NYC mayor.

Bill Clinton’s just chilling in his living room, watching ICE kidnappings on tv, when the sex pest election trouble alarm goes off in his kitchen. “Not cuomo,” he says to himself. “Not another member of the brotherhood”

Happy Juneteenth!
Happy Pride!
