It was brought to my attention that Meghan Markle did the Key & Peele thing at a public appearance with Harry today

I'm begging @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social to run against Musk. He's an unpopular and creepy white nationalist asshole billionaire whose approval rating in most polls is 20 points underwater. You can mock Paxton for needing to be bailed out *and* mock the puppet master pulling his strings.

WAPO: The lining “failed in at least 85 places because of errors in the renovation, including the premature refilling of the basin before the liner had fully dried ..” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

My God, imagine getting laughed off the stage at a League of Women Voters event.

Kasey Musgraves, straight up Drogon'ed Kristi Noem. 🐲🔥

Goddamn, this point by @anandwrites.bsky.social really needed saying.

More Democrats need to be telling the online casino owners behind Polymarket to shut the fuck up

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

“I’m pissed off about gas & food prices.” “Are you regretting your vote for Trump?” “Yeah. A lot of people are.” “America’s not Great Again?” “No. They’ve run it into the ground.” (H/T @cwebbonline.com )

I never thought in a million years that the president and First Lady of the United States would be targeting me personally and trying to hurt me and my kids. jojofromjerz.substack.com/p/be-best-be...

Student journalists still believe that it’s more important to hold powerful people to account than it is to hold on to access to those powerful people. They haven’t become Savvy Insiders yet

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

🚨🚨🚨 Sub-30% presidential approval alert 🚨🚨🚨

A US President lying about his own activities on 9/11 is an abomination. Dear god, Americans, have you no decency?

Holy shit! This is gonna be good!

I would like ask JD Vance about Pierre Damas Bel.

Cameron Brink of the Los Angeles Sparks: “I think when it comes to the trans issues…I think it’s a non issue & I think it’s people trying to just come for the trans community & I just don’t stand for that…I don’t even know what the fuck his name is, Enes Kanter, like he’s a stupid piece of shit.”

El-Sayed more than held his own with Jesse Watters. Here’s how the interview wrapped up

When I first saw this photo of Angie Nixon staring at Ron DeSantis, my first thought was that she needs to become president someday.

How much do you think this fine will be? Tash went IN on the men who keep throwing these green dildos 😭😂 #WNBA

“‘We literally have been making this up as we go, because nothing is conceived to go on this length of time,’ Vice Adm. Curt Renshaw, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, said Wednesday at a virtual town hall meeting.” www.stripes.com/branches/nav...

Projections: The study estimated that defunding or dismantling USAID could lead to over 14 million cumulative preventable deaths by 2030, which includes 4.5 million children under five years old. www.hifa.org

Happy Versailles II 2 month anniversary to all those that celebrate.

It’s really sad that we just keep failing to learn the lessons of the war in Ukraine. Hopefully, joint exercise results like these will convince our decision makers to quit sitting on their hands.

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/a-civi...

Senate Dems just announced a $40 million ground game investment across 10 battleground states. I’m pleasantly surprised. Instead of blowing it on expensive TV ads, they’re investing in field staff, new offices, volunteer programs, and outreach to Latino, Black, and Alaska Native voters. 1/2

Bunch of new medical personnel being flown to Germany? Probably nothing to see here. 🤦‍♂️ (Germany is the primary hub to prepare for military casualties in the Middle East. They’re flexing a lot of personnel, including over 100 medics)

He has said a lot of very disgusting things but putting words in the mouths of dead soldiers is unbelievably gross. I don’t know how any military family could support this. Would you be ok with him exploiting your child’s death??

In this appallingly stupid time we are living in, with America's current aversion to facts and science, it is fascinating how the Ancient Greeks calculated the circumference of the Earth so accurately. May we return to a time when curiosity overcame ignorance and science overcame superstition.

France should pull their entire back line right now. This is embarrassing

THREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself. Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object. How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵

I wasn’t ready for this. ☠️ 😭 Low T Pete will never live this down.

“i’m demon free bitch” is one of the funniest things i have ever heard

This AP investigation into David Brouillette, the ICE agent who shot Durán Guerrero in Maine is genuinely horrifying. Long history of extreme mental illness, chronic violence agst spouses and kids, PTSD and heightened violence from mil service. apnews.com/article/ice-...

This is how to speak to every single one of those sycophants.
