The Obliging Apocalypse of “Pluribus” The new sci-fi drama from Vince Gilligan posits an end-of-humanity scenario that everyone other than its protagonist can agree on.

With “Pluribus,” Vince Gilligan is aiming for a lighter—and stranger—outing than his two previous series, “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul.” https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/q9ox4R

He is a deeply sick man, and has always been. But he is sicker than ever.

Tell Students the Truth About American History We owe it to Americans of all ages to be honest about the country’s past, including its contradictions.

Jeffries: We are not going to be lectured by anyone on the other side of the aisle about fiscal responsibility when the bill that you just passed is the most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation ever…

A Trump manufactured food crisis in the land of the plenty...

Turkish media:

“Turkey’s FM Fidan today at the White House met JD Vance, Rubio, Witkoff and Barrack, discussing Syria, Ukraine and Gaza peace process.

Fidan also dropped in Sharaa - Trump meeting.”

How is any of this normal?

OMG the Cincinnati Children’s hospital Pastor speaks after being detained for 73 days by ICE and he is a legal U.S citizen & they knew it when they took him & they’ve known it for all 73 days! He said the there are a lot of people in there that are U.S citizens & no crimes ever!

Every time some asks Leavitt a question and she answers, “it’s what the President wants.” I want reporters to simple keep asking, “what do the people want?” And remind her that the “President serves at the pleasure of the people, not the other way around”. Do your jobs!!!

Sounds good to me. Jack Smith has *all* the receipts. The value of this is almost as great as the Epstein files.

Kash Patel’s Private Jet Problem Is Even Worse Than It Looks This dude can’t stop flying to Nashville.

There are some things we don't know, but what’s fairly clear is that Patel has been using the jet for events that have no real overlap with the actual responsibilities of the FBI. ICYMI @willsommer.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/kash-patel...

The U.S. Federal minimum wage has been $7.25 since July 24, 2009.

Not to mention your police, or the military, the military are THE most socialist organization you got 🤯😆

Just your daily reminder!

Indeed. If it were in *any way* remotely "fact", there wouldn't be a single moment on Fox (or that podium) that they weren't breathlessly going over and over said "FACT" ad nauseum.

It won't matter to conservatives one iota whether they have a shred of evidence, never has.

LEAVITT is 100% LYING to the American people. There is ZERO, zilch, nada, evidence of a “rigged” election in California. It’s been debunked and investigated, even by your own Project 2025 backers at the Heritage Foundation.

If you had proof, you’d have shown it and be on loop on Fox"News".

Outsmarting the Constitution Trump’s approach to a possible third term in office reveals his approach toward American law more generally.

Donald Trump is aware that if he wants to serve a third term, the Constitution presents a problem, Richard Primus wrote in May. But for the president, Primus argued, the Constitution is not a repository of values that he must respect. It is an obstacle to be overcome.

"The president is 12, and everyone in the White House that works for him pretty much also is acting like they're 12."

@timmiller.bsky.social doesn't want 12-year-olds running the country and neither should you.

Likely my last night with Comet Lemmon for 1150 years and while my photo of it is nothing special, I did see something streak across the sky and managed to capture it! #Photography
