The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.

Apparently like every day.

Enthusiastic consent should be taught at home, at schools and be the default. Rape must be as disgusting and as abhorrent murder and cannibalism. Men who are not into raping should be constantly calling out anyone from friends to acquaintances to bosses. All the “manosphere” dudes should be in jail.

Stephen Miller almost says that Trump is seeking a "final solution" in Iran but then catches himself

Just an idea, but maybe don't believe everything Trump says

Govt sets new record for bills skipping select committees No government since at least 1987 has passed 30 or more laws without a select committee vet – until the coalition last month, Marc Daalder reports.

Pete Hegseth quoted a fake Bible verse from the Tarantino movie Pulp Fiction yesterday during a Pentagon prayer service

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.

Shhhh. Don’t tell my fiancé. I spend a lot of time convincing her not to renounce.

I have a rule to never speak on behalf of the dead. But I can confirm it disgusts me.

Missed the Pope subtweeting the Trump administration:

Pope slams 'tyrants' on Cameroon conflict visit after spat with Trump Pope Leo XIV has abandoned his previous restraint in speaking out in favour of world peace.

"The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants, yet it is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters." - Pope Leo

This bloke is really growing on me!

Fox News Just Complained About How Low Teen Pregnancy Rates Currently Are—And WTF‽‽

Fox News medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel turned heads after blaming the low birth rate in the U.S. on the lack of teen pregnancies.

Maria’s description of her own interview turned out to be not very accurate

Why does the American tax system favor the wealthy? And how did it get this way? I chatted with Jon Stewart about this back in 2012. Sadly it's only gotten worse since then. We must keep up the fight to fix the system.

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

Yeah, people talk about how Mackenzie Scott is not a "good" billionaire because if she was, she wouldn't be a billionaire anymore. And like 99.9% of the time that is true.

But we also built a system where you can't actually give your money away fast enough to avoid how fast it is growing right now!

If every genocide of the last century had its own day, there’d be a genocide observed every couple of days. With new ones like Gaza being regularly added.

Not New Zealand. Our govt is pro-fossil fuel and anti-environment.

AOC: “The mistake that I made, you know, from all the movies that we see growing up about heroes & villains — is that I thought that fascist takeover attempts were going to be architected by evil geniuses — I was not expecting how unearned, nepotistic, mediocre, & just dumb the architects would be”

Y’all are wild

It’s the joke about Vance killed the last Pope. He visited the Pope, then the Pope died within a day.
