A week after FIU college republicans were exposed for celebrating Himmler's concept of a "Nazi heaven," UF college republicans are disbanded for doing Hitler salutes.

all of Minneapolis is being treated the way police have often treated Black neighborhoods, because Minneapolis as a whole has made it clear it stands with marginalized people.

Is it too early to start working on Apology Tour merch?

If you're wondering how the Renee Good murder (and more recently, the release of the ICE agent's footage) is going over, Fox News has over 60 stories on its homepage right now, and looks to me that zero of them are about the incident.

The correct comparison partner for Renee Good isn't Charlie Kirk, it's Ashli Babbitt. The fun game for your friends and neighbors is Can You Spot The Actual Domestic Terrorist?

I have a close relative with a decades-old car-accident related lobotomy, PTSD from multiple violent experiences, dementia, and years of homelessness, who dwells on his traumatic experiences, and even he will sometimes focus on your wellbeing and sincerely mean it. That's how damaged Trump is.

A senior ICE official just admitted in an evidentiary hearing in Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case that someone else drafted his declaration in the case and he didn’t know what certain words meant.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Seriously, this feels like the political comms equivalent of a successful Queer Eye makeover.

She. Is. So. Brave.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Trump Audibly Counting Non-White Generals

Trump Audibly Counting Non-White Generals

Dear @apnews.com

The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once.

Fix your headline.

The controversy started with a post Tuesday from Jacqueline Garretson, who, according to her X bio, is the Illinois state director for The Conservative Caucus and previously worked as a staffer for failed Republican attorney_general candidate Thomas DeVore. Garretson wrote that a relative, whom she later identified as her mother-in-law, ordered the Mint Majesty tea with two honeys — an order known to be Kirk's favorite drink - from the Starbucks. When the order was completed, the cup had "Loser" written on it, Garretson said.

Starbucks says surveillance clears an employee who’d been accused of writing “Loser” on a cup when someone ordered Charlie Kirk’s “favorite drink.”

The accusation was originally posted by a Republican party official. It forced the store to shut down for safety.

One Hashtag To Rule Them All Secretary Hegseth, poster boy for the right wing’s existential hashtag, rates his actual suitability for his position on a scale from 1 to 10.

Upwardly Deplorable: Rep. Mary Miller Right-wing America: When you care enough to attack someone because of their religion, but don’t care enough to learn squat about other religions.

My latest at First Draft. If you're like me, you've seen this kind of thing before and chalked it up to misdirected post-9/11 anti-Muslim sentiment. But as this MTG-wannabe reveals, even that version of bigotry was too charitable. first-draft.com/2025/06/09/u...

In this episode, we put the lie to the whole "if they would just do it legally" facade, but we also make room for a look at more than just "deportations."

Bruce Opines, Trump Whines Springsteen enters full DGAF mode and DJT can’t handle the truth. Read on for some fun comparison and Bruce background.

My First Draft column this week offers an excuse to delve into some Springsteen nerdery in the light of Trump's recent tantrums.

This week's column at First Draft checks in on candidate Spanberger as she tried to triangulate her way around the issue of Virginia's anti-union laws on her path to the governor's mansion. Included: two good maps and two good Pernice Bros. songs.

Idaho’s Incitements & Indictments From GOP town hall thuggery to a Heil-Hitlering CEO, this year has brought its share of bad press, bad choices, and consequences to the hard-right Famous Potatoes state.

The spud state is making the news for all the wrong reasons this year, but some folks are stepping up and doing the right thing. My Tuesday morning column offers the latest plus a little history on the side.

If people deny that Israel is for the Jews, they will be punished by our Antisemitism Task Force. And if they deny that it's for Jews so as to bring on the events of Revelations so Jews can be cast into Hell, they will be punished by our Anti-Christian Task Force.

Can’t Shake Those Self-Oblivious Blues Swift, Davies, Dylan, and Givens all do what they can to clue in POTUS and the cabinet, but some people just can’t take a hint.

No deep dive for my Tuesday column this week, more of an attempt to skim and scathe across recent events. Remember, kids, it's not Imposter Syndrome if you're really not qualified.

I heard that on separate occasions Hegseth texted the Joint Chiefs his lunch order, four dad jokes, and a request for short-term financial assistance from a Nigerian prince, so it seems like reasonable Americans should be able to just call this a wash and move on.

This is one of the most important pieces of journalism any of us will read this year. Shows exactly how policy is made now - a scrabble of advisors trying to push an unreliable executive to pursue their agendas, at a moment’s notice

way too on point. Churchill put Mosley in prison for the duration of the war. Fascist quislings in waiting were a danger to the war effort. Sent the ex-King to be gov of Jamaica for similar reasons. None of this will end well.

@pitcherlist.com Red Sox fan and fantasy mgr enjoying checking PL daily as usual. Noticing a couple remarks dinging the STL offense, and it's early and I'm not used to it either, but the Cards are MLB #1 OBP (#3 OSP) so far. In a QS league, OBP kills so I check it. Anyway, thx for the great work!
