I cannot WAIT for discovery!! Pass the popcorn!

Left is NYT with 20 days in a row with 2+ above-the-fold stories about how we got crushed and it was all Biden's fault (withdrawal was necessary & messy)

Right is NYT with its cute both-sides story about Trump claiming victory (despite getting crushed by Iran)

And get Anderson Cooper and Stephen Colbert to host it.

This 4th of July should have fireworks, brass bands, Epstein Survivors, veterans, and people who have lost Medicare, people with kids who have lost day care, and people of any gender divergency and neuro divergency, and immigrants, and people against the idea of an American king.

Snookered commentators only have eyes for abiding loyalty to the unstable genius, so I think any sort of change like suggest will come from Trump himself “suddenly” seeing his popularity even lower.

With “no way” being zero, and “absolutely yes” being a ten, what number would you assign to my working theory that Trump & Friends waited until after the Olympics and SOTU to attack Iran?

‘Acts of war unauthorized by Congress’: Trump’s congressional critics denounce Iran strikes "We can support the democracy movement and the Iranian people without sending our troops to die," says Sen. Ruben Gallego.

The president is so very very Bored of Peace, apparently.

Bill Clinton holds the record for the longest spoken State of the Union address, with his 1995 speech lasting 1 hour, 28 minutes, and 14 seconds. I am taking action on Trump going longer, and setting the record.

Keep up the good work Mary Gay. Could your committee subpoena the DOJ staff who set up the search-tracing on the members of Congress?

"IF" the 4th Estate, including an outlet like 60 Minutes in the antediluvian days, would focus on the public good, this story would link to Tesla retailing and Tesla stock-holdings, and then people could act in lieu of government inaction.

It is almost as if there's been a "use the 'vehicle as weapon' justification, going forward" memo spread around ICE higher-ups. Accordingly, and if such memos exist, or have been shared, where are the whistleblowers? That's rhetorical I imagine, with whistleblowers afraid for their lives under 47.

Survivors’ Letter to Congress

Why is such an important open letter to Congress barely covered in the news media? Intimidated publishers? Lame editors? Objections from AI? (programmed by corporations with vested interest) Algorithms that indicate this story or this angle isn't good for business?

I vastly preferred your Nature pape, tbh

And yet AI suggested the title “A Tactical Narcissistic Retreat”

Don T’s 9 circles of Hell, where we are now? . . . Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Wrath, Heresy, Violence, Fraud, and Treachery . . . ticked every box already!!

the poor dears

Breaking: Trump threatens to put new 125% tariff on buildings clad in ivy as well as ivory towers!

Keep at it Mary Gay, don’t ever give up

WORK toward success in the 2026 Congressional elections: call people, phone bank, work for worthy candidates, demand better from the DNC, steer your calendar and efforts toward Tue, Nov 3, 2026

Harry Tuttle, except Venezuela not Brazil.

Who has the thinner skin? Trump or Musk?

Judge: "Objection sustained" Attorney: "Ahhh, but your honor, your statement is not in writing. Ooopsie."

"What seemed to us a mere trifle, the mere snowball of a transient political creed gathering no moss, has assumed enormous proportions, has become a flaming banner while we were blissfully slumbering m the security of our vast libraries and expensive laboratories."

Tarifflation, Tarifflation, Tarifflation.

Trumps attacks are on civil rights, women’s rights, and even human rights. It’s as if he wants rights, writ large, trimmed back to white male property owners.

Putin doing his little part to flood the zone with shit AND NOW radiation!
