Former conservative Chief Justice of SCOTUS, Warren Burger:

The 2nd Amendment "has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime".

I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer and my mum did everything to make ends meet. Men worked hard. Women worked miracles. But education was free. As was the local library. I knew books were my passport to a better life. #SupportLibraries

Climate records tumble, leaving Earth in uncharted territory

A series of climate records on temperature, ocean heat, and Antarctic sea ice have alarmed some scientists who say their speed and timing is "unprecedented".

The US has the fastest growth rate of any G7 country.

And the US has the lowest annual inflation of any G7 country.

And Americans hate it!

Gas prices are nearly $1.30 per-gallon lower today than they were for Fourth of July weekend in 2022.

i would think that “republicans are sending your kids to work in mines and forcing them to give birth to rapists babies and we just want to give them free lunch” would be a good policy contrast for democrats

This man (Steve Milloy) telling you it's ok to breathe smoke-filled air ran the Phillip Morris PR campaign in the 90s to argue against the scientific consensus that second-hand smoke causes cancer.

Just absolutely incredible, villainous booking.

Russia's neighbors still fear Putin's ultimate goals. Estonian Prime Minister @kajakallas: "Russia has not changed its goal...they are the last imperial, colonialist power in the world...if they succeed in Ukraine, then no country neighboring Russia can be safe" #UkraineRussiaWar

Hey folks we did something special together I wouldn’t be here if you weren’t here and I remember that every second of every day. Life is so short and so complicated and you all make it one worth living. Celebrate yourselves today because I love you

The Biden-Harris administration is committed to banning assault weapons, enacting universal background checks, requiring safe storage, and helping end gun violence. #DyingForGunSafety

[Julia Pollak @juliaonjobs]

CPI inflation is 4.9% YoY, but only 3.2% on a 3-month annualized basis. Ignoring higher inflation late last year and zooming in on what is happening now, inflation is modest and falling, even as the economy adds hundreds of thousands of jobs and unemployment hits a 70-year low.

[Go to Bluesky to save your brain -- L O L G O P @LOLGOP]

Weird how actual states that maximize gun safety have figured out the mystery of reducing gun deaths but the states that don't, haven't. Alas, let's keep pretending we don't know exactly how to solve this.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

Every country has mental illness, but it’s America that has the epidemic of gun violence and mass shootings.

It’s the guns.
