this is an insane, bizarre state of affairs in which no one knows who's at war with whom, all stemming from the fact that the president is a brain-damaged moron who doesn't know how anything works and lies constantly, which the news refuses to relay and must somehow write around

I mean this is what it would sound like if you asked a fourth grader to imagine what a ceasefire would be like. and yet our entire political class is committed to never mentioning that the man is an imbecile

Biden mixes up two names when describing the major problems facing the US in the Middle East: dementia, worse than Watergate Trump announces a fake ceasefire in a real war, congratulates Iran, and encourages everyone to finish their bombing runs: big oopsie, Trump being Trump

We are abandoning the most vulnerable people in the world, killing many of them, for no reason at all. The United States is causing a humanitarian catastrophe just because we can

He’s so out of his depth. He talked the same way when Russia & Ukraine didn’t magically stop fighting when he told them to He won’t do the work, learn the issues, do the shuttle diplomacy, build the coalitions to pressure combatants to settle As always, he’s lazy & incompetent

I’ve been stewing on this all night and I’m still livid. This wasn’t journalism. This was a disgusting, personal hit job on Joe Biden and his family. Who the hell do these two think they are to question whether a father loves his family? After everything the Bidens have

How do they get away with this? The bill they passed cuts Medicaid by $793 BILLION. $793 BILLION. It's in the bill. They wrote it. Their own budget office says 10 million people will lose Medicaid coverage. Just wild.

The problem is they’re treating this as a win *against* the party rather than a win for or within the party. That’s always been my issue with the far left.

A child dies of malnutrition every 15 seconds, as 185,535 boxes of special food for starving children are stacked in a warehouse in Rhode Island, paid for by American taxpayers. After shutting USAID, the Trump administration is just sitting on the boxes. nytimes.com/2025/06/25/opi…

Mamdani is cool and I wish him the best. It would have been nice if the people going bonkers over a guy who promised government-run grocery stores in one city could have shown half that enthusiasm for helping Kamala Harris stop the US from being taken over by a deranged fascist.

🧵 Western Narcissism With the help of deeply ideologically captured institutions, Western leftists are projecting their own ideals - anti-colonialism, social justice, equality - onto a movement (Hamas and some parts of the Palestinian cause) that does not share them. /1

The Bulwark The worst part is planes only have those tiny bottles of booze. Do you know how many you have to drink just to maintain a buzz for 36 hours

The Republican budget is apparently going to have a slush fund to bail out red state hospitals while allowing blue state hospitals to close because of the devastating Medicaid cuts. Let's call this what it is - a fundamental corruption. A blow to the heart of our 50 state union.
