republicans: LET THE VOTERS DECIDE wait not like that

IYKYK

Remember when we were trying to stop Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and I said it was going to be bad if it passed? Well, we’re finally starting to see the real results. Bad is an understatement.

America, we deserve so much better.

As we let Elon’s companies poison Memphis and drill a hole in Nashville against the will of the people…

The most accurate indicator that something bad is about to happen.

This is Fitz and June. Fitz just got here and thinks this place is pretty great. June was here first and thinks it's time to return Fitz. 13/10 for both (TT: muester)

Federal government terminates contracts with Portsmouth Naval Shipyard workers unions

$1.5 trillion for the Pentagon, huge salaries for DC bureaucrats, but good union jobs for those who actually build and repair ships is out of the question.

And as this disgusting episode plays out, Senator Collins has been silent.

Oh no! A leaf has fallen on Steve! Somebody PLEASE HELP!!

A small white bowl of five large ripe strawberries sits on a black table.

Hi. Yes. It’s officially strawberry season in France. This is not a drill.

a photo of a small grey dog, named Baxter, laying flat on his stomach on a white couch covered with a dark grey blanket. the photo is taken from a distance while Baxter stares directly into the camera. the most notable part of Baxter's pose is the fact that his legs are comfortably propped up behind him at a 90 degree angle, creating an illusion that he's kicking up his feet like a teenage girl.

This is Baxter. He’s thinking about his crush. No he won’t tell you who it is. 12/10 (TT: jayshaun077)

Amazon Levi's and Walmart Agreed on Increased Retail pricing for Khaki Pants Amazon sent Levi’s links to Khaki pants that were priced lower on Walmart.com [$25.47 to $26.99], saying it “hop[ed] these can get resolved over the next few days.” The next day, Levi’s reported that “I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to … take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to…$29.99 immediately” and provided links to show the increased Walmart price. Amazon acknowledged that Walmart raised its price and confirmed it had matched that higher price: “the updated pricing of $29.99 is now showing up on [Amazon].”

Amazon, Hanes, and Target Worked to Raise the Price of Apparel: Amazon sent Hanes links to Target.com and Walmart.com showing lower prices than were on Amazon, and Hanes confirmed that it “reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased.”

Amazon, Agrothrive, and Home Depot Worked to Raise the Price of Plant Fertilizer: Amazon complained to vendor Agrothrive about lower prices for Agrothrive’s products at Home Depot, to which Agrothrive responded: “Yes, just got out of a meeting with the Home Depot manager and she has agreed to raise the prices this time.”

Amazon, GlobalOne, and Chewy Agreed on Increased Retail Prices for Pet Treats: The plan was written in an email between Amazon and its vendor, GlobalOne. For its part, Amazon would raise GlobalOne’s Canine Naturals pet treat prices to get Chewy to follow, then GlobalOne would “reach out to Chewy” to let them know that Amazon was increasing the pricing and “would ask that [Chewy] follow.” In other words, if Chewy agreed, Amazon would increase its retail pricing for the Canine Naturals pet treats and Chewy would match the price increase. The plan materialized. Amazon told GlobalOne that the pricematch override was in place, and to “let Chewy know to update [pricing] immediately.” That same day, GlobalOne confirmed the “ones that went up on Amazon immediately went up on Chewy [happy face emoji] … Overall this looks like it’s working!” The result of Amazon, Chewy and GlobalOne’s price fixing agreement was to increase the retail prices of over ten Canine Naturals pet treat products on Amazon and Chewy.

We’re sharing new evidence in our case against Amazon clearly showing the megacorporation is involved in price fixing.

It’s clear as day: Amazon is colluding with vendors and other retailers to make your life more unaffordable.

We’ll see them in court.

Literal cartel

The FBI Director Is MIA Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.

You need to read the The Atlantic's Patel expose:
“Part of me is glad he’s wasting his time on bullshit, because it’s less dangerous for rule of law, for the American public,” one official [said], “but it also means we don’t have a real functioning FBI director.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

Shoutout to The Atlantic reporters for publishing these massive scoops instead of waiting years to put them in a book.

H.R. 1897 is moving fast in the House and could hit the floor for a full vote as soon as tomorrow. This bill would gut the Endangered Species Act forcing economic impact considerations into listing decisions, limiting your ability to challenge bad science in court,

Wipe your feet really good on the rhythm rug. If you feel the urge to freak do the jitterbug. Come and spread your arms if you really need a hug.

We went to Guestling Wood, just up the road from Hastings today, for a walk.

The blubells were looking great, and the birds were sounding pretty hapoy too.

Finally, some good news in this festering, prolapsed asshole of a year.

a red toy poodle is sitting in front of a dark leather sofa, his chin tilted slightly up. his snout fur is so fluffy it’s completely blocking his eyes. underneath his little black nose, his mouth is open just enough to show off the tip of his tongue and four almost identical white teeth, like posts in a picket fence.

This is Nimo. He's not sure why everyone's obsessed with his smile. Might have something to do with his teeth, but he's not sure. 13/10 (IG: nyooochan)
