100000% correct. We certainly have our issues (who doesn't), but let's never, ever forget: America is awesome.

Folarin Balogun, the 2x goal scoring star of the US Men's National team last night against Paraguay, is an American due to birthright citizenship....something the Trump administration is currently trying to end.

It’s not about arguments. It’s about facts. I know one great fact about American elections, and I know it because the Republican Party has proved it to me: There is no election fraud of any consequence anywhere in the United States. The Republican Party and its allies, FOR DECADES, have been searching high and low, in every corner of our country, for evidence of election fraud. This effort has been made with vast sums of money and other resources, and with some of the greatest powers in our nation at the party’s disposal: A presidential commission under President Donald Trump. The Department of Justice under President Donald Trump, armed with the resources of the FBI, and the powers of subpoena. Committees of Congress under Republican control, also armed with the powers of subpoena and the investigative resources of the first branch of government. State legislatures under Republican control, also with subpoena powers, have launched similar efforts to find evidence of election fraud. Republican-controlled states have set up special commissions and task forces, some with subpoena powers, all well-funded and with access to the state’s electoral systems. Conservative academics and think tanks have launched projects seeking out evidence of election fraud. Fox News and the rest of MAGA media have dedicated significant resources to finding evidence of election fraud. What is the result of this enormous Republican effort to find election fraud? Ask The Heritage Foundation. For nearly a decade, Heritage has maintained an “Election Fraud Database.” The database contains “proven instances of election fraud.” It covers elections going back nearly fifty years. That’s billions and billions of American votes. Right now, the total number of proven instances of election fraud that Heritage can document is: 1620. That’s an infinitesimal number, vanishingly small, and it is solid proof of two things: 1. Some individuals commit election fraud. 2. There is no evidence at all of systemic or even widespread election fraud anywhere in the USA. The election-fraud panic is the Big Lie of our time. It is peddled by people who know better. Their own investigations over decades demonstrate that. Stop trying to subvert our democracy. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

WOW!!

I'm not sure what we can do to prepare for this, but given the amount of noise the MAGA echochamber is creating, claiming fraud because they lost an election in an overwhelming Democratic stronghold, we aren't remotely ready for what they'll do when they lose in November.

Scientists at Trump’s EPA say they are being told to make chemical risks “disappear on paper.” Not to study or manage them, but to make them vanish. When a safety test on a household chemical shows danger, supervisors reportedly ask to keep shrinking the scenario until the poison looks safe. They have reassigned senior scientists to paperwork and handed life-and-death risk assessments to staff with less experience. They have installed former chemical industry lobbyists to run the very offices that are supposed to regulate the chemical industry. A gift to industry, paid for with your family’s health. They are even throwing out research on how certain chemicals hit certain communities harder, calling decades of established science “DEI.” You can make risk disappear on paper. The cancer does not disappear. The birth defects do not disappear. The infertility does not disappear. The kids drinking the water and getting sick do not disappear. The EPA exists to protect people, not to protect the profit margins of the people poisoning them. Every American deserves to know what is happening. #TrumpMakesUsSick cnn.com/2026/06/08/politics/…

Screwworm, Ebola, measles and other problems are piling up as Trumps degrades the basic functions of the American government. slowboring.com/p/trumps-war-…

Rollins literally asked "where are all the sterile flies?" on national television. DOGE cut the USDA screwworm monitoring program. DOGE cut USAID's border parasite prevention program. Both happened after she was sworn in. The sterile flies were in the budget she let get gutted. That's where they went

The man running the agency responsible for 340 million Americans' health arrives at 10am, leaves by 4pm, skips his own division chief meetings, and when he does show up - scrolls his phone and gets described by colleagues as "checked out." Ebola is spreading. Six Americans already exposed. He has not briefed himself with CDC scientists. His response to a reporter asking if he was worried: "Yeah, we're working on it." The CDC is being run by a health economist with no public health experience who already has another full-time job running NIH. Half of the 27 NIH institutes have no permanent director. The top FDA drug regulator got fired in May - Kennedy found out after it happened. When measles killed two children in Texas, the CDC official leading the response asked repeatedly to brief Kennedy. He was rebuffed every time. The person actually running HHS operations is a longtime personal adviser whose policy spreadsheet - more than 50 items - is hidden from the department's own policy team. When Kennedy gets asked a question, his standing answer is "just run that by Stefanie." This is not a management philosophy. This is a vacancy wearing a title.

Spencer Pratt was more meme than candidate in the L.A. mayoral race. The hype surrounding the reality star’s AI-enhanced bid couldn’t overcome the fact that he was running a MAGA campaign in a Democratic city. He lost, as polls predicted he would. nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…

Spencer Pratt lost, and I have bad news about what the For You feed and Polymarket odds did to some of your brains. Here's what happened. Just swap "X" for "Bluesky" and "LA" for "Alabama" and you'll get it

“I don’t think history teaches a lot of little lessons, frankly…I think it teaches 1 big lesson, which is that nothing really ever works out the way the perpetrators intend. I can’t think of any major event in the history of the world that ever turned out the way the participants who launched it expected.” wapo.st/4eyPoUj

The thing about Donald Trump—the most consistent thing—is that he is the whiniest bitch on the planet.

The ocean is heating at an unprecedented level, killing sea life and raising water levels and increasing natural disasters like hurricanes. Dismantling our ability to monitor the deep ocean will be detrimental.

Stupid and short sighted! Typical!

The more you know!

Hegseth is purging the military, and in the course of doing so is breaking Pentagon rules and basically lying about it. A danger and a disgrace. nytimes.com/2026/06/01/us/po…
