Sickening & wrong. "Miller was the first Black service member to receive the Navy Cross — the Navy’s second-highest honor." Instead, Hegseth's Pentagon would like to name a carrier after a grifting, draft-dodging, pedo-protecting, adjudicated sexual assaulter & predator, FELON47. 🧾 t2m.co/rti3Vj0m

Why is someone this lovesick & deranged doing at the POTUS's side, day & night, going a year w/o a security clearance (she "opted out" 🤔), w/a status *so important* she was hustled onto Escape AF1 above Marco & insufferable @sshole Scott Bessent? Rs are ok w/this? Pls explain. 🧐 🦋 t2m.co/1aLsmgu3

Lolol. 😆 Tonight @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social skewers insufferable @sshole Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, "who says, 'we don’t know when' Trump’s Iran war will end, echoing the Johnson administration’s false promises of a “light at the end of the tunnel” in Vietnam." 📺 youtu.be/LQrtNCFc1vs?...

😢"The flight carrying 170 people, ranging in age from 19-71, landed in Cap-Haitien...Commercial flights from the U.S. have been blocked from landing in the nation’s primary airport in the capital of Port-au-Prince due to gang activity & reports of aircraft being struck by gunfire." 🎁 wapo.st/4gmJqXs

You need an editor just for the title!!! One cis dude in sports media supporting another cis dude in sports media in order to argue for publishing *MORE* fucking transphobia, all while using “biological males” language. WE ARE IN HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL HELLL HELLLLLLLLLLL

It’s that time of year when the prolonged heat is starting to get to me. And it’s less the triple digits in the middle of the day (though I’m no fan!) and more that it never, ever gets close to cool. It’s in the 80s at 5am.

LOL at these 3 very smart men on Jeopardy’s Tournament of Champions who did not know “The Yellow Wallpaper.” Guess that didn’t imprint on their brain the first time they read it like it did mine. Huh!

This is like how virgins imagine sex

Mainers have to be tired of Susan Collins & her games to negotiate a few safe votes against party. But her Kavanaugh vote has wreaked havoc on this country on many cases. She's not sorry. Time for her to get the boot 👢. Send @troyjackson207.bsky.social to the U.S. Senate. 📺 bsky.app/profile/siri...

Hmmm...is that WH code for Melania's "binky" with a title like that? Trump has one, Hegseth has one... 🤔 Nah, she's not even living at the WH. She probably just packs an overnight bag in NYC for a DC drop-in. (Did Dementia Don even give Natalie a sleepover dresser drawer?) 📺 t2m.co/ZfF6AsDW

They let the JD the Biden Banshee Attack Dog out to bleat on Newsmax since he's a doofus as an Iran war "negotiator" (he wanted off that #FAIL 🤣). He can do these safe RW hits in his sleep; but will Thiel pet Vance do a live, free-ranging, sit-down on non-state TV? 👀 📺 bsky.app/profile/atru...

I refuse to be interested in anything involving spreadsheets, good or bad or whatever is happening now

I had never heard of Matt Calkins until today (and wish I hadn't ever!) but uh he sounds like your run-of-the-mill sports dude columnist! 🤷‍♀️ I mean, he had that job for ELEVEN (11) years and he wasn't even pushed out.

I got called a chartcel last week but I still think US consumer AI is errant garbage.

@robertgarcia.house.gov (D-CA), Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, is calling on Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) is calling on Attorney General Todd Blanche to testify in their Epstein probe." 📺 youtu.be/GRCkrFQcgps?...

Melania's banging David Avocado Wolfe?

The Trump administration says Daniel owes $368,000 for supposedly failing to leave the country, even though he's trying to get legal status through his US citizen wife. He has no idea how to pay it. theintercept.com/2026/08/20/t...

This is incredible work.

Saying social media isn’t real life is like saying the dentist isn’t real life, the park isn’t real life, baptisms aren’t real life, nightclubs aren’t real life.

The moral of this story is not about race or DEI. It’s don’t hire obvious frauds.

Mitch McConnell has fossilized

Prediction: he will not do that

Which is fitting because Tudor Dixon sounds like the girl who mocked your no-name brand shoes in high school.

I didn't realize that Arday's "broken leg" was a hairline fracture. I live with a marathoner who trained for months and ran a marathon with a stress fracture in his hip, which he was aware of (trust that we talked about that decision A LOT).

The Trump administration is fining immigrants as much as $1.8 million for supposedly staying after a deportation order. There's a big problem: there's no way for these immigrants to pay what they owe. theintercept.com/2026/08/20/t...

Insufferable @sshole Scott Bessent flaps his gums again, unconvincingly lying w/utter nonsense, day in and day out. 📺 bsky.app/profile/atru...

Find out which of your local businesses are working with ICE. (New database from @theappeal.org) The Appeal’s investigation reveals a widespread web of public and private entities enabling Trump’s deportation machine. theappeal.org/ice-local-bu...

The decoy plane fiasco realigned the conventional wisdom about Natalie Harp because it proved she means more to Trump than his Secretary of State and his Secretary of Commerce. The press corps now acknowledges what has been staring us in the face for months: Harp is Trump's most powerful advisor.

The artists formerly known as Project Veritas, reborn as the Citizens Justice League, appear to have impersonated Minnesota voters during the primary.

Natalie Harp is the starched pink bow that ties up Trump's physical and cognitive decline, his contempt for the press, his conspiratorial ideation, his bottomless howling insecurity, and his repulsive social media. Trump's full-time caregiver is running the country.

Trump said he was scaling back military exercises with South Korea because he has such a great relationship with communist North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

Because of my research for the Nolan Wells story, the YouTube algorithm is serving me all kinds of stuff on the more bizarre aspects of Gulf Coast boating culture.

This means nothing. What does the MLS understand about “restorative accountability”? I can say I went through restorative accountability, so what?

I’ll just be over here watching Olivia Miles clips til I’ve seen them all a dozen times each.

Besides wasting obscene amounts of money, the cost of the Iran war is borne by people like Tahereh Sarbaz, who lost eight members of her family, including two of her children and five grandchildren, one of whom was a newborn. theintercept.com/2026/08/18/i...

So proud of my coach for not only taking paternity leave but talking publicly about it nypost.com/2026/08/19/h...
