I'm watching the #CAGov debate, & all these answers on the gas tax are pitiful. Nobody came close to saying the reason gas prices in California are high: we have 100-year-old refineries routinely holding the state hostage, & branded gasoline is $1/gal higher than non-branded, which is theivery

Every system that was regulated, either explicitly or implicitly, by the fact that they were effortful for humans (letters of recommendation, government filings, essays, or, as this paper finds, lawsuits) will break under a wave of AI.
You can’t do that to rural voters! What are they, black people? bsky.app/profile/coll...
Trump shuts down the investigation into his own 'assassination' attempt. #MAGA why would he do that? Think hard on that, I'll wait.🤔
Yep. Their position is *explicitly* that they can do it and Dems can't -- that's what Trumpism is
So -- is Miller on Adderall or ketamine or something in the WH too? This is not good.
"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–"

Joe has permanent residence in Trump’s rapidly liquefying brain.
They think you're stupid.
Trump LOSES again. The YES vote has won in Virginia, allowing Democrats to redraw congressional maps. In a huge FAFO story, this was all started by the corrupt, serial lying psychopath trying to rig the 2026 midterm elections by demanding red states gerrymander their districts.
In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
When you learned about the Iran hostage crisis, did they teach you this part?
In November 1979, during the crisis, Black hostages and women were released first.
Ruhollah Khomeini said they were oppressed in the United States and not part of the power structure, so they weren’t seen as spies.
Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings
Last weekend's big bombshell didn't fall on Iran, but at the U.S. Supreme Court. A stunning leak both exposed the corporate hypocrisy of John Roberts and revealed 9 justices in open warfare
They are sending us a 'bat signal.' Democracy is in danger

Grifters always end up realizing the griftin is better on the right.
Republicans will have another chance to vote on a war powers resolution today to curb Donald’s war in Iran.
If his war continues, then they’ll have innocent blood on their hands if they reject it.
Which is probably a good thing, but we still gotta Nuremberg the shit out of these assholes if we ever want any credibility again.
If you attend the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, you should be legally barred from using the term "journalist" to describe yourself from that point on.
If you're worried about the CA Governor's race please share--and USE!--this new website by the volunteers at Indivisible Alameda. It tells you how to contact the lower polling candidates in the race and urge them to drop out. It's a much-needed resource.

Screenshot of a tweet by Bryan Behar (@bryanbehar) joking that we've reached the "Cabinet applauds because President can sign his own name phase of dementia," quote-tweeting Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) who captured Trump remarking after signing his name, "Oh, that's a good one. Look at that, Joe. Do you think Biden can do that?" The embedded video shows Trump leaning over a desk signing a document.
Do we applaud when he names all five animals in a cognitive test? Trying to understand the protocol.
This makes me angry.
voters are voting this fall to fuck up the gop. they want democrats to legislatively fuck them up. they want to send a clear mandate to stop all this shitty shit and do good shit.
the answer isn't another round of milquetoast.
This is a VERY BAD idea.
Laughing at the idea that the "first order of business if Dems win House/Senate" should be to re-introduce the right-wing immigration bill Biden/Harris tried to run on in 2024 to take the immigration issue off the table by making a ton of concessions to the anti-immigration right.
I also like cabinet members who hire lawyers who are able to spell the words "feeble" and "discussed" correctly.
