Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.
Trump says US Navy sank Iran's warship off the coast of Sri Lanka because "it's more fun" to sink ships than capture them.
Trump on Democratic opposition to the SAVE America Act: "They know if we get this, they probably won't win an election for 50 years, maybe longer"
A big fat NO to reopening Indian Point
Do you know how wicked a person has to be to *punch down* on CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE?????
Get this man out of office, NOW.

The College Republicans of America just appointed a groyper as their political director. Kai Schwemmer was in Fuentes' inner circle in 2021, & since then has strategically downplayed his support to avoid controversy. CRA claims over 300 campus chapters across the country
I hate that entire groups are being prevented from existing in mainstream art because of roughly 200 shrill lunatics who can't be normal about anything.

Marco Rubio hanging out with Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio at the "Shield of the Americas" event, in case you were still thinking it had some sort of legitimate purpose
He’s hoping that by adding cruelty to his voter-suppression bill, it will get more support from Republicans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
It's hilarious that "working class" now applies exclusively to the racist failsons of regional car dealership owners but every unemployed trans person is an "elite".
Platner’s former campaign team know something’s wrong - they all quit. They know he would lose in the general election. Janet Mills needs to make him lose in the primary instead. And she can, just by demanding his records. He won’t show them - he can’t. Confront him with that. 7/
Susie Wiles is telling Trump’s advisers to come up with ideas to lower gas prices in the wake of the U.S. attack on Iran. Advisers are “getting screamed at to find some good news” on bringing down prices, one energy industry exec told us.
Milo Yiannopoulos is married to a Black man.
“Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. ‘I guess,’ he says.”
If the Ryan be Grim,
Honey... we don't win.
what i think is going on w/ graham platner fwiw: a certain cohort of D pundits & self-appointed leaders, disproportionately male and gentile, have decided that in order to appeal to low-trust men (whose votes they seem to think count more) it's necessary to allow a little antisemitism, as a treat
CNN: Approval for President Trump's East Wing ballroom project – from a government commission that oversees planning for federal buildings and land in the nation's capital – is delayed after it received over 32,000 comments from the public overwhelmingly opposing the construction.
Certain white male leftists needed to stop defending Rogan years ago. Think they'll stop?
What are we doing here, man? I don’t really care if you think Platner is or isn’t a Nazi, but personal relationships to Jews just don’t signify here.
Henry Ford was famously good friends with his Jewish neighbor, and at least two of the concentration camp guards in my research had Jewish spouses.
Steve King 9 @SteveKinglA + Follow Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies. ESTERN ILIZATION Voice of Europe @V_of_Europe Hundreds of Islamists shouting "Allahu Akbar" in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."
BREAKING on MS NOW:
The House Oversight Committee just voted to subpoena Pam Bondi as part of the panel's Epstein investigation.
The vote was 24-19. 5 Republicans voted in favor.
NEW: Trump begs a candidate in the Texas GOP Senate primary to drop out if he doesn’t get Trump’s endorsement, saying the race “MUST STOP NOW” and that the non-endorsed candidate should “immediately DROP OUT OF THE RACE.”
New Democracy Summer initiative led by Wesleyan President MIchael Roth. (As a longtime member of the Wesleyan family through marriage, I've been inspired to see the college doing so much to meet the moment.)
This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."
Do y'all have to say "c*ckblocks"? Really?
There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.
Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
New YouGov poll finds that for the first time, a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump *strongly.* His overall approval is down to 38%, a new second-term low.
When is the last time a majority has disapproved strongly of a president?
I'm sorry to remind everyone of the existence of hte worst magazine in America, but Kansas is literally taking away trans' people's driver's licenses, and the Atlantic has decided to publish a thumbsucker about whether effeminate boys are feeling pressured to transition
