I used to think I was a loser when I lived with my folks for 6 months or so when I was 24 in 2003-04. Turns out I got it easy.

The world is a little brighter without Lindsey Graham.

[The Ginger Swindler @lilydsmith]

a country not run by people on the verge of death

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

Lindsey Graham was a terrible man who betrayed whatever values he had to kiss up to Trump just to stay, in his words, "relevant."

He is now dead.

@PurpyNFL Using Vietnam as a flex for why no one should F with us is certainly… a choice.

[DJ Dad Guy @Cronoburner]

It’s almost like audiences don’t need to see a shot for shot remake of a movie they’ve already seen… that’s not even 10 years old.

[Global Box Office @GlobalBoxOffice]

MOANA live-action previews bombed with only $4.5M earned domestically yesterday.

Starring Dwayne Johnson, the movie is now surely missing the $50M domestic mark this weekend, and may not even reach $40M.

The movie had a budget of $250M.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can we just accept that this has been a shit summer for big budget movies overall?

Supergirl, your two week lashings are over

Rest my queen

[Three Year Letterman @3YearLetterman]

I spoke with Gerald Ford for about 20 minutes this morning. I thanked him for inventing the car and being our greatest living president.

Speaking to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes…

[DJ Dad Guy @Cronoburner]

This makes me so sad, man.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

Today, I'm announcing that I am suspending my campaign for United States Senate.

And I'm doing it with a deep, deep sense of gratitude. For our thousands of volunteers, for everyone who donated what you could — building a campaign with zero corporate PAC dollars. For my staff, who built this team up from nothing. I thank you.

For my family. For Ray, who believed in me long before I ever believed in myself. And for Noa. Our five-year-old, who presses her hands up against the window to wave goodbye every morning when I leave for work.

"Remember, Mom," she reminded me recently. "It's not about if you win. It's about trying hard and having fun."

She's right. So I want to be very clear about what this announcement is not. I may be suspending this campaign, but I am not leaving the fight.

I never planned on politics. After the 2016 election, I felt lost. I picked up my phone and typed five words into the search bar: "How to run for office."

And here's what I learned: when regular people get in the fight, things can change. In my very first election, we flipped a district against the incumbent. Four years later — with so many of you — we flipped the Michigan Senate for the first time in nearly forty years.

And we didn’t stop at winning. We repealed Michigan's abortion ban. We raised wages. We made sure every child gets breakfast and lunch at school. We made it easier to go to college. We expanded civil rights and voting rights. And so, so much more.

These wins took thousands of us — showing up every single day, refusing to give up when there were setbacks. That's why I'm staying in this fight. And why I need you to stay in it with me.

Now, I haven’t been shy about calling for new leadership and a better Democratic Party. I mean it. The energy is there. People are crying out for change. And we owe it to them to listen.

Then we need to build it up, together, from the ground up.

So here's what we do next. Every day through November 3rd. We win this Senate seat and send Mike Rogers back to Florida for good. Whoever wins this primary on August 4th will have my full support.

Then, let’s elect Jocelyn Benson as our next Governor. Let’s flip the State House, and expand our majority in the State Senate. Let’s elect Democrats up and down the ticket and show the rest of this country what it means to fight like Michigan.

Ten years ago, I started this work heartbroken, typing five words into a search bar. And I learned the only thing that has ever really changed this country: ordinary people who love something enough to fight for it.

I love this country. I love Michigan. And I love the little girl who waves at me from the window every morning, trusting the grown-ups to leave her a state and a country worth inheriting.

That's who I'm fighting for.

And I'm not going anywhere. I hope you'll join me.

🗣️ FUCK DONALD TRUMP AND ANYONE WHO STANDS WITH HIM HAPPY OF 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE

[Frank Conniff @FrankConniff]

A friendly message to MAGA folks on this 4th of July weekend: you are the most traitorous, unpatriotic, anti-American, insurrectionist pieces of shit walking the earth right now. Fuck you.

[DJ Dad Guy @Cronoburner]

We need to brace ourselves for this dolt replacing Samuel Alito.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: U.S Attorney Jeanine Pirro announces U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn has been charged by a federal grand jury for pulling on sealant in the Reflecting Pool and faces 10 years in prison.

This is complete bullshit. Trump destroyed the pool. Send HIM to prison.

[DJ Dad Guy @Cronoburner]

The writer’s strike killed it.

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

Heroes (2006) had everything going for it after Season 1. The characters, the powers, the momentum… it genuinely looked like television’s next great phenomenon. It’s still hard to believe how quickly it lost that magic.

The crazy thing about transgender kids playing sports is that the President is a pedophile and a rapist.

I am a million percent sure that if Superman actually existed, Elon Musk would make it his life’s mission to destroy him.

I did too! I have no idea what’s driving the bad reviews… besides misogyny.

Everybody fuck off I loved Supergirl.

[DJ Dad Guy @Cronoburner]

This movie kicks ass, btw.
