Man, Walker's just an awesome back. Patience, vision, burst--the total package, with such a unique style. Dude has earned every bit of the paycheck coming his way this summer.

loved every second of Bad Bunny. That message of inclusion and a celebration of cultures like Puerto Rico’s is just what America needs right now. Plus, his music just gets you in motion. 10/10

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet. Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.   An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Project 2025 says fire federal workers, so they are. Project 2025 says abolish the Department of Education, so they are. Project 2025 says kick moms and babies off Medicaid, so they are.   Project 2025 calls for a national abortion ban using the Comstock Act… see where I’m going with this?

Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic

Look, I love #realmadrid with every fiber of my being but can someone please tell me why Julian Alvarez's goal wasn't a goal? Can anyone really show a replay where it's clear he definitively touched the ball with both feet? #championsleague #atleticodemadrid #realmadrid #madridderby #derbimadrileño

I'd like to live in a version of this country where A. The 2028 election actually happens bc we haven't descended fully into a fascist dictatorship by then and B. The winning ticket is some combo of @aoc.bsky.social and @repjasmine.bsky.social. This is it. The final shred of optimism I have left.

When Congresswoman AOC Is Attacked, Male Democrats Remain Silent—How Hypocritical Is That?
The Democratic Party claims to champion gender equality, but when progressive women like AOC face relentless attacks, where are the men who should be standing in solidarity?

With the Eagles obliterating the Chiefs, now is a good time to remind everyone that the last time the Eagles won the Super Bowl they refused to go to the White House because of Donald.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

President-elect Trump promised voters that he would cut energy and electricity prices in half within 18 months of taking office. But energy industry experts noted that a president has limited influence on how much Americans pay at the pump, and even less leverage when it comes to electricity prices.

Trump Promised to Halve Energy Costs in 18 Months. Experts Have Doubts.
A president has little control over global oil markets, economists say.

Holy fuck. Seb Gorka is his pick to be senior director for counterterrorism.

Seb fucking Gorka, who was denied security clearance in the last Trump administration… Seb fucking Gorka who has ties to a Nazi-allied organization in Hungary…

The. Director. Of. Counterterrorism.

By my count, there's four members of the incoming Trump administration accused of rape or sexual assault - Trump himself, Peter Hegseth, Matt Gaetz, and RFK Jr (all of whom, with the exception of RFK Jr. have denied the allegations against them). Who am I missing?

I just learned that Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. An alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform (and yes it's really easy to transfer your lists from Goodreads to StoryGraph). You know, while we're moving things.
