Leaked documents show the US is trying to convince 4 European nations to leave the EU, and the idea has been floated to create a Core 5 comprising of the US, Russia, China, India, and Japan to counter the G7.

We have to reckon with this administration before the world has to.

This whole disavowing socialism vote by our entire House minority leadership really makes me want to leave the party. But that’s what they want.

Nah. We’re here and we’re doing the work on behalf of the people. Move over, leave, or, most implausibly, try leading.

The Epstein files bill passed, but Speaker Johnson is circulating a plan to block transparency on "national security" grounds. Read the full document:

How stupid do they think we are? Suddenly EVERYONE is on board with releasing the files after they’ve been delayed for weeks and months with no real explanation?

This is odd, it looks like the DOJ skipped suing Texas entirely. The Justice Department is now suing California over the new congressional district boundaries that voters approved just last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday in a post on X. Who are they going to sue, the voters?

Btw Angus King can caucus by himself. I’ve never heard anything more pathetic than that sniveling coward bemoaning “standing up to Trump didn’t work” hours after the biggest Democratic sweep in years.

He’s as much a flaccid worm as the thing driving RFK Jr.

I wonder if Schumer is annoyed that Rosen received as much money from AIPAC this year as he has his entire career. $1.7 mil by the way.

Durbin, Rosen, Fetterman, Cortez Masto, Shaheen, Hassan, Kaine.

Schumer.

Millions toughed it out. Your party worked its ass off. We had leverage. It’s time to get the hell out of the way and the hell out of office.

At a time millions are losing their SNAP benefits we are about to create our first trillionaire.

That is not a coincidence.

I love how the Republican response this morning is not “how do we get people to vote for us” but “how do we stop more people from voting?”

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night.

He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

With Mamdani’s big win, I’m reminded of our Bernie for WA 2020 organizers, many of whom moved to NYC after the presidential primary. Great work, folks.

Jordan Peterson hospitalized for living with mold for decades. Daughter claims demon attacks. Isn’t this also what’s maybe going on with Rowling?

Your favorite angry conservative influencer is probably just brain damaged or otherwise poisoned.

“America is under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in any ways because they don't wear uniforms. At least when they're wearing a uniform you can take them out."

Man, it really is all projection, isn’t it?

While the head of the FBI testified that Epstein didn’t have any clients, the Vice President of the USA hosted an episode of The Charlie Kirk Show where he claimed that left-wing violence is responsible for most sectarian violence

The federal government, absent an ailing Trump, is still lying

People get shot on school campuses all the time. How about we stop worrying about how people are reacting to this one and fucking do something about guns this time?

Utah banned public and governmental displays of the pride flag. I feel like Salt Lake City is going to have A LOT to say about this.

I wonder if Bill Clinton is gonna endorse the Democratic Party candidate or the Fight And Deliver (FAD) Party candidate in the general election?

I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but...

the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

Predators protect predators
Incredible how Cuomo is absolutely DWARFING everyone else in money and spend and yet it’s still close enough that they’re pulling these stops out.

They’re scared.
Former President Bill Clinton is endorsing former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, his former HUD secretary, as the Democratic establishment tries to attempt to ensure Zohran Mamdani does not win the Democratic primary for NYC mayor. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/n...

We do this or we are lost.
As many nations ban books, Finland began teaching school children how to identify misinformation and propaganda as a part of its curriculum. They score highest for media literacy in Europe.

If only the U.S. would do the same. But the GOP survives on misinformation.
