This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.

people need to go to jail over this, its the only thing the democratic party should be saying right now. all of them, in unison, no matter the question or topic, needs to be saying “insider trading is against the law”

Before the whitewash comes in, a reminder that because of Mitch Mconnell American women are dying and bleeding out because they were denied abortion care. Because of McConnell the Russians were free to interfere in our elections. Because of Mitch billionaires are coddled while kids get screwed over.

oh no i cant believe it but it looks like donald trump inserted himself into a story captivating the worlds attention, overshadowing a unifying event with overt corruption, in an attempt to seize attention and credit for himself

Roses are red the reflecting pool is noxious

The entirety of Bluesky every time this happens.

Probably a good idea for a lot of liberals to take a look at Michael Cohen getting back into bed with Trump for a radio show after years of grifting their money as a “resistance” influencer and start asking themselves exactly what they’ve been and still are supporting.

“Democratic socialism can’t win in purple states” say the guys who just lost a presidential election in *every single swing state*. So definitely listen to them, they have the secret plan for winning.

Just asked Mitch McConnnell's office for any updates on his health, including whether he's even conscious right now. He reportedly had a heart attack on June 14th and was discovered unconscious at his house. A McConnell spokesperson shared the same comment they put out on July 2, w/ no details.

obvious chilling effects

People have a First Amendment right to criticize the government. This is meant to intimidate people into censoring themselves.

as far as mitch mcconnell goes, just a reminder that the people who got fired for posting so hard about a similar situation all ended up with 6 and 7 figure payouts

Bizarre is right. Kevin -- and I, also included in this strange piece -- are hardly claiming that the current regime is an aberration from a golden American norm. Our history has led us here. We learn from it or fall. I hardly see that as a mythological narrative of American exceptionalism.

lots of rumors swirling ie mitch mcconnell and botched rib removal surgery. no need to be first, if its true we’ll find out in due course

i think a lot of issues could be resolved in this country if people stopped equating stuff like treating women like garbage and using slurs with “masculinity”

ill never understand the kind of hubris it takes to run for office when you know there are massive skeletons in your closet. not only do you look sick, your family has to deal with all of it.

assume mcconnell dead

The backlash, in case you were wondering, is from Clay Travis and Scott Jennings. www.mediaite.com/online/mark-...

So pretty much the worse thing that can befall any team is Trump taking a rooting interest.

This isn’t true. The 18 yo in question, Arion Kurtaj, has already been released from the hospital and is awaiting trial on his 12 felony indictments for computer hacking, blackmail, and fraud. Rockstar had nothing to do with the hospital order; his legal team requested the competence evaluation.

First, he makes you complicit. Then he humiliates you. That's how corruption works.

Most paths to redemption do not involve gaining massive power and influence. Usually the opposite is true. A lesson it’s better to learn sooner than later, I have found.

Unless you personally know and have fought alongside a politician or they have a long, long, loooooong track record, you can’t just embrace them and then deflect every attack or scandal. These people don’t deserve your trust, only your suspicion. This has to change and it has to change fast.

You know what never got a red card? Love.

Chuck Schumer and DSCC chair Kirsten Gillibrand now calling on Graham Platner to drop out: “Graham Platner needs to immediately withdraw.... The DSCC will not invest in the Maine Senate race if Platner remains on the ballot.”

My dog and I would fully support the death penalty for anyone who sets off fireworks after the Fourth of July.

I think yelling socialism over and over is as politically meaningless in 2026 as talking about the deficit. Everyone who would actually be motivated to vote against socialism is already voting for the right. The right has used the label too much for it to work. Nobody cares.

Hello, kind humans. I'm shutting down for a few weeks. All is well. Just need to extract my face from the news gusher for a bit. Please preserve democracy in my absence. See you all later this month. ✌️

Don't let your desire for the US men's team to win blind you to the fact that Trump has made the men's team complicit in his corruption.

So I'm working on tomorrow's newsletter and a hawk landed two meters away just outside my office window.

Vote out every politician that does nothing about blatant criminal activity. It's not a complex concept.

Appreciate we’re getting a crash course in how many people are fine with corruption if it serves their interests.

“A thorough background check of a Senate candidate, which has become standard practice in key races, can take several weeks and cost roughly $20,000 or a monthly retainer. Moraff asked for an expedited, cheaper review to be done within days, according to people familiar with the matter.”

Lis Smith is terrible at winning. She failed with Mayor Pete and she shilled for Cuomo. She’s one of the biggest advocates for shitty centrist Democratic party politics and thinks we should live on Fox News. She continues to be extraordinarily influential.

If only there was an extremely simple solution to this that we’ve had access to for years!!!!!

I feel like the subtext here is they are vying for a spot in Trump's ongoing West Wing beauty pageant and the NYT is helping on that quest.

just realized that dude haaland from norway looks like klaus from american dad as a human, was driving me crazy

Medicare Advantage is a corporate handout for insurance companies

Trump can never settle for quiet corruption, he needs the world to know of his specialness in getting away with things.

The US looks fundamentally lost. And yes, this applies to the team and, well, everything.

Just looking at a liberal personality's YouTube with 150k+ "subscribers" and like 300 views per video and thinking about how interesting it would be if people started asking influencers and commentators whether they've bought fake bots and who all is paying them behind the scenes

Hakeem Jeffries just thanked this unbridled racist for corruptly unbanning a soccer player because of the vibes

Who could have known

Cops are more dangerous than drag queens (hey remember that whole thing the gop and Fox did to whip up votes?)

He can’t help telling the truth about how much he lies

Every reference to Mitch McConnell is now as if he's Schrödinger's senator.

oh great now peace talks are up to ME?

Is it insider trader day?

happy 250th! www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

The people criticizing the DSA surge talk like Harris didn’t just lose Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan etc

Being an immigrant in America during the World Cup means having your heart torn to shreds by watching your native country lose on Sunday, picking up the pieces, and gearing up to root for your home country less than 24 hours later. I love sports, I love this country, and nobody can take that away 🇺🇸

Happy aphelion! At 1:30 p.m. Eastern US time today the Earth will be farthest from the sun as it will be all year. To celebrate, I'm taking 25% off annual subscriptions to my newsletter! badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/aphelion-d... Also: an exoplanet was discovered using relativity. Whoa. 🔭 🧪

New Nero fiddling metaphor just dropped

if fdr or lbj proposed their domestic agendas today theyd essentially be in the same camp as the dem socialists vs the center-center right in the party. im not sure what point you think youre making here.

Democrats can’t say anything bad about their buddy Mitch McConnell

A dead Mitch McConnell can still block more legislation and appointments than a room full of live Democrats.

If "I told you so" was a drug, I would be high as fuck all the time.

im oliver willis, and i approve this message

yes, the people who led us to two terms of george w bush and two terms of donald trump have an excellent track record. we should keep doing things the same way. no notes.

imagine if a democrat did this. y'all would never shut up about it.

I also have low confidence in this voicemail transcription

And we never gaslight.

Social media pile-ons are often like having your ankles gummed by a horde of toothless, incontinent chipmunks. Individually tolerable, but the sheer volume gets wearying after a while.

🚨🚨🚨 axios: donald trump to add stanky leg to pre rally dance routine 🚨🚨🚨

Let's make it a rule: do not fuck with anyone involved in any Nazi shit in any way whatsoever, no matter if they try to play it off as trivial or "not a big deal."

It’s not just the elected leaders. I think blue maga has more fire for fighting democratic socialism than they do for fighting the GOP

if centrist mush had a winning track record and the public has shown that they would prefer it over liberal/progressive positioning, i would grumble but mostly go along with democrats in supporting it. but the record shows -- it clearly shows -- this stuff suppresses the vote among the base.

ah yes noted walk-awayer Kevin McCarthy

obviously the democrats have to appeal to the center, peeling off gop women -- by being tough on immigration and foreign policy. thats why hillary, al gore and harris all won. and they shouldnt appeal to progressive populism like ending the war, health care reform, blm. thats why obama/biden lost

I would call the comprehensive fixes needed: "The Great Undoing" We need to undo all of this, no matter the effort, time, energy, or cost.

Rahm Emanuel thinking he has a shot at the democratic presidential nomination is funny but it’s telling even he sees the writing on the wall about unconditional support for Israel www.politico.com/news/magazin...

liberals are addicted to listening to people who keep losing tell them the way to win

Some days you open social media after being offline all day and think, “That worked out.”

the media does deliberate "Trump says" framing to give him plausible credibility and the benefit of the doubt on an act of corruption despite his history of lying and corruption because 1) they like that he says stuff 2) they like him in general 3) they want "USA wins" 4) they really really like him

the funniest form of whataboutism going rn is USA fans justifying the balogun thing by pointing out belgium's brutal history of colonialism like they're not wrong but... if the idea is that the world cup should go to the country that has done the fewest crimes against humanity then i have bad news

it’s just so hard to be a fan of the United States

It is possible to equally despise both Platner and the Maine Democratic Party leadership.

sex is like the big mac…

he sounds like mrs doubtfire

the fact the dems lost to an incompetent failson twice and then repeated the double loss a decade later, is a reflection on the party's inability to do basic politics.

If his aides are talking about his terms for dropping out he's done

we cant afford health care because of the money involved, continued

The red card reversal was eight years in the making.

Pretty shocking that the organization that gave a war-mongering fascist a "peace prize" did something corrupt.

So it's apparent that Jenny Racicot came forward with the details of the alleged sexual assault because she feels the NY Times papered over what she told them about her encounters with Platner -- and the narrative over the Times story quickly centered on Lyndsey Fifield and her right-wing activism.

Our homemade celebration pozole is now homemade consolation pozole, but at least we're having pozole and not "Mexican" chicken baguette sandwiches, so there's that

I BEG YOUR MINISCULE PARDON

i didnt realize the hr lady comment was from stoller. but it fits. guy is a cancer.

why do some of you find it so hard to call for the democratic party to be *proactive* about pushing its agenda and fighting the right than to stay in a forever reactive position, always hiding what it is because republicans or the media might be mean?

Bad people making good politicians and good politicians making bad office holders is really something we need to work on fixing.

Imagine playing so unfocused and lackadaisical that the coach thinks Gio Reyna would do better

Are we sure this isn't Doc Brown's evil brother who got the sports almanac?

anyways we should tax rich people more

We avoided moving last week to miss the heatwave so we’re now doing it in torrential rain instead. Thanks, climate change.

If you’re in NYC and want to buy a book IRL this is a great tool. bookpile.org

Trump hunts out a One America News correspondent to ask him a softball question. "Daniel, go ahead... no, right behind you. You know why? He's a friendly voice. Go ahead." Daniel Baldwin then begins his sycophantic question, prompting Trump to quip: "You see? That's what I call a reporter."

Can't endorse this hard enough.

Did this dude just recently watch Pulp Fiction? Because we all know his brief fascination with re-opening Alcatraz was due to him tuning into Escape From Alcatraz. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Coming up tomorrow evening in Brooklyn, folks.

Look, it’s actually super simple. Balogun’s red card was suspended under Article 27 which clearly states that FIFA can change the rules when it feels like it. In the case of Belgium’s appeal, this obviously doesn’t apply because FIFA doesn’t feel like it
