For those who scream President Biden isn’t doing enough, this is what progressives wanted. He delivered. “The SAVE plan was finalized after the Supreme Court struck down President Joe Biden’s student debt forgiveness initiative in June.” https://t.co/W6bK7hh0p9

This New York Times article is journalistic malpractice. The e-bike riders were killed by SUVs. Cars cause 43,000 deaths every single year, that’s the problem here. We’ve become so normalized to the death caused by cars that journalists are blaming the victims

@Danchaon @BartKing But they say there’s going to be a desktop version of Threads soon. That’s the one I’m pinning my hopes on—it’s become a lot more usable just in the week or so I’ve been on it, and I think will continue to evolve. I don’t expect ever to get into Bluesky.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, who showed a private citizen’s nude photos at a hearing last week, calls for “decorum” when Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia brings up her tweets comparing vaccines to the Holocaust.

Dear Justice Alito: You’re on the Supreme Court in part because Congress expanded the Court to 9 Justices. Congress can impeach Justices and can in many cases strip the Court of jurisdiction. Congress has always regulated you and will continue to do so. You are not above the law.

If my physician gives me a treatment plan including the words “god” and “faith” I’m getting a new physician.

Weird to me watching reporters skipping over giving credit to Biden for the economy and going right into “why isn’t Biden getting credit for the economy?” It’s because you are turning a remarkable economic turnaround into a “here’s why this is bad for democrats” story.

Backers, opponents of Ohio Issue 1 bankrolled by out-of-state groups.

Supporters and opponents of Issue 1 say they want to combat out-of-state interests in Ohio. That's where most of their money is coming from.

This seems a good time to make the transition to Threads permanent, and I'm going to try not to log on here going forward. I've followed as many of you as I could find there as possible; if I've missed you, please follow me (davidwalker1275). Let's put M*sk out of business.

You guys understand what a second Trump presidency would mean for this nation, right? There would be no guardrails.

"Here's the thing I can't believe is real, but it is."

@maddow reports on a curious $3 million donation to Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, the presiding judge in the impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Texas prisons raise prices 50% for fucking water for the people locked up in their unairconditioned state prisons as the heat wave continues and it hits over 100°.

Editor Commentary: Special interests have captured every aspect of Ohio government, inflicting all manner of public corruption and extremism. With Issue 1, Ohio voters get to decide whether we want to give up our own power to ever do anything about it.

"It only took a few weeks for this Texas judge to step forward and say 'I don't want to be helping same-sex marriage couples and I now have a 1st Amendment right to do so,'" @mjs_DC on how SCOTUS' 303 Creative ruling opened Pandora's Box on gay rights.
