Fox News still hasn’t covered seriously disappointing jobs report on their website But they have time to deceptively headline a transgender woman winning one of NINE categories (grouped by age) in Lyons Masters Cycling race yesterday.(She won the 55-59 year old group as it turns out. So not exactly a trendy teenager) Making the event sound like the Olympics

“Women cyclists speak out against USA Cycling after losing race to biological male” (The 2nd and 7th finishers complained.)

–

Stephen Miller leading a federal complaint against the Los Angeles Dodgers over the team’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices.

Oh damn, and on top of all the other bad things Miller has done as a SF Giants fans now I have to back the Dodgers?

–

The Big Beautiful Betrayal is incredibly unpopular and that’s before people realize how bad it is. And Trump’s popularity is already underwater. So why not vote “no” as his endorsement may actually hurt in 2026?

–

The Florida GOP is actually selling “Alligator Alcatraz” merchandise, incuding women’s t-shirts.

If this were an SNL skit it would be attacked as despicable and over the top.

Which I suppose kind of sums up Florida GOP

–

Trump on Alligator Alcatraz. “It is not a place I want to go hiking any time soon.”

As if Velveeta Voldemort hikes anywhere, ever. Even when he’s golfing he can’t even go more than a few feet without his cart.

–

Difference between being Senator for your state & being national leader:

Lisa Murkowski sold out 49 states to get goodies for Alaska in Big Beautiful Betrayal.

Amy Klobuchar fights for Minnesota where 80% live in urban areas, but also for her rural voters & others in red states.

–

Yes, this is a real USA Today headline

“Kim Kardashian reveals ‘we all cried’ at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding.” The only ones who should have cried is are those who will suffer due to Big Beautiful Betrayal GOP tax cuts.

=

After the Senate approved the Big Beautiful Betrayal, they closed with a prayer from the Senate chaplain

Two lines “Help them to walk with forgiveness… Help them to walk with courage.”. They’re going to need the first because they didn’t show the second…

–

Karoline Leavitt, as Trump adds expensive cologne to the list of products he hawks: “I think it’s frankly ridiculous to insinuate this President is profiting off his presidency.” Begs the question, is Press Secetary lying, or just a truly deluded cult member?

–

DOJ wants to “prioritize” denaturalization Translation, taking citizenship away from Americans they don’t like. For now, foreign-born citizens.

For now. If you’re not afraid you’re not paying attention.

–

If Trump was really proud of and confident in his big beautiful betrayal bill he’d have had the votes at noon so he could have a big beautiful press conference afterwards before his nap.

–

Trump will turn on everyone sooner or later. Wonder why more wavering Republicans don’t decide to vote their consciences, save their souls, and avoid the wait.

–

Per Time: “The Senate bill puts $100 billion into ICE & border enforcement, including $$$ to hire 10.000 new agents: $45 billion for detention facilities, $46 billion for border wall & $14 billion for deportation ops.”

This isn’t Donald’s short term project, it’s a permanent secret police force.

–

For Donald, not only is no lie too small, but he keeps doubling down on them. Velveeta Voldemort has been increasing number of states where he says gas is under $2 a gallon, from 2, to 3 to 5… Cheapest gas in US is Louisiana. New Orleans gas is now about $2.79.

–

John McCain would have voted no Mitt Romney would have voted no. Rob Portman would have voted no. I miss principled Republicans. Heck, I even miss Joe Manchin.

 Now at 3,424 career points, Caitlin Clark will set her sights on the NCAA’s all-time scoring record of 3,527, held by Washington’s Kelsey Plum.

One of the coolest things. While Kelsey Plum may not be a household name (she now plays for the Las Vegas Aces) These days thinking most sports fans, men and women know who Caitlin Clark is.

–

So how many Scaramucci’s did Alina Habba last?

–

Two things we know.

1. Trump said GOP Senators who vote for the border deal would be making a ‘terrible mistake.”

2. Trump has no idea what’s in the BIPARTISAN border deal.

–

Put this (accurate) Washington Post headline question on the things I did not have on my batsh*t bingo card. “Can Lankford overcome the right?” James Lankford is one of the most conservative members of Congress.

–

Speaker Johnson today suggested that no immigration deal will be acceptable to him unless it completely eliminates illegal immigration — something that will never happen.

Want to end this madness? Vote Blue in November. As my late great stepmother said “We’re not perfect, but they’re nuts.

–

QAnon had a fundraiser for former gubernatorial candidate and current US Senate candidate Kari Lark.

Sorry, you can’t be a little bit pregnant.

And you can’t be a little bit QAnon.

Arizona, remember this when Lake tries to pretend in November that she’s semi- moderate.

–

As rightwing media attack what they call the idolization of Taylor Swift, Stephen Colbert responds “Yeah, stop worshipping false idols and buy yourself a piece of Donald Trump’s old suit.”

–

It’s now all about pulling away the football all the time, Who else thinks that if President Biden did decide to deal with the border by executive action as GOP is now suggesting, that Republicans would immediately try to impeach him for overreach?

–

Fascinating Senate Judiciary hearing today on protecting children online. Amazing number of GOP Senators (not all, Tom Cotton still being a jerk) actually talking reasonably w/out usual nonstop Biden bashing. We have bipartisan agreement on issue. Time to get some bills passed.

Amy Klobuchar: “When door blew off Boeing flight nobody questioned decision to ground 700 planes. Why aren’t we taking same sort of decisive action on social media? We know kids are getting hooked on fentanyl, seeing dangerous content on eating disorders, committing suicide over revenge porn.”

She’s right. and no one died as a result of the scary Boeing incident. A lot of kids have died from online fentanyl, from eating disorders, and as she said, suicide.
