Hurrah! It’s the 534th anniversary of the day Rodrigo Borgia became Pope Alexander VI, proving his eligibility for the role by dangling his knackers through a special chair with a hole in, because that story is ABSOLUTELY TRUE* *well, apart from all the bits that aren’t

Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.

ICE killed another person in a vehicle, this time in Maine. Again, federal agents were not wearing body cameras. Expect the same routine: agents claim they feared for lives, the claims will be unsupported, and no accountability. Expect it to keep happening. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/07/13/p...

It's at least the 11th fatal shooting involving an ICE or Border Patrol agent since President Donald Trump took office last year.

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...
In a Public Notice released on April 22, 2026, the FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to "transgender and gender non-binary programming" and "the discussion or promotion of gender identity themes."

Hakeem Jeffries is absolutely worthless. His only demand is that Dems get a briefing on what just happened. “Far too many questions remain unanswered…”
Nicolas Maduro is a criminal and authoritarian dictator who has oppressed the people of Venezuela for years. He is not the legitimate head of government. Undoubtedly, the rule of law and democracy have broken down in Venezuela and the people of that country deserve better.
Donald Trump has the constitutional responsibility to follow the law and protect democratic norms in the United States. That is what putting America First requires.
The Trump administration has not sought congressional authorization for the use of military force and has failed to properly notify Congress in advance of the operation in Venezuela. The promotion of security and stability in a region requires more than just military force as we painfully discovered in Iraq and Afghanistan.
MINI
HAKEEM
JEFFRIESFar too many questions remain unanswered, including with respect to whether further military actions are planned. First, how many American troops remain on the ground in Venezuela?
Second, what does America is going to run Venezuela until a judicious transition takes place mean? Third, were these military strikes about seizing foreign oil to benefit friends of the Trump administration? Fourth, why did Donald Trump pardon the former Honduran President, a narco trafficker convicted in an American court of law, but is willing to take us to war in Venezuela in connection with similar allegations?
Pursuant to the Constitution, the framers gave Congress the sole power to declare war as the branch of government closest to the American people. The House and Senate must be briefed immediately and compelling evidence to explain and justify this unauthorized use of military force should be presented forthwith.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Trump is raising taxes on working people in order to lower the top tax rates on high income earners. His own economic advisors admit it, openly. Will the media tell voters this fact or will they steelman a more appealing, imaginary rationale.

One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

Many Dem consultants urge adopting bad GOP positions. Better to adopt proven GOP tactics. Republicans made issues out of nothing through repetition and outrage. A national security breach implying many more (Signal? Not DoD comms?) must be made into an issue by Dems. It won't just become one.

I still don’t understand why Democrats would negotiate a budget when the Trump administration claims unilateral authority to cancel any spending it dislikes. As long as congressional Republicans endorse that position, they are not legitimate negotiation partners! An agreement with them has no value!
