Today’s illegal political ad, paid for by taxpayers amidst economy-crippling stagflation, features an old man slumping down a hallway, bitterly remembering his favorite things he said over the course of his failed life, not realizing how small and weak they reveal him to be.

The US government paid for a campaign ad for Trump, featuring — I am not making this up — a chorus singing “love me” repeatedly in the background.
The national debt is at record levels, the price of diesel is skyrocketing, inflation is making everyone poorer, and we’re wasting tax money running an ad for a tired old man to literally beg a country to love him.
Supreme Court again blocks new Missouri congressional map favoring GOP:
Kavanaugh let stand a lower court decision blocking the GOP-friendly map for November’s elections. Then, less than a half-hour later, a federal judge presiding over a separate case ordered the state to use it — prompting Missouri’s Republican leadership to vow to move ahead.
But on Thursday, Missouri’s top election official, Secretary of State Denny Hoskins, announced he would abide by the Supreme Court’s ruling.
Congratulations to Missouri for successfully fending off a voting rights attack by the big-government Republican party.
Apple Maps changes Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' for US users
Apple Maps changes Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’ for US users:
Apple has relabeled Lake Ontario to “Lake America” for U.S. users of its Maps app, following competitor Google days after President Donald Trump ordered a new name for the body of water amid his escalating trade war with Canada.
And just like that, I’m joining the Great MapQuest Migration.
“Fun” fact: it took until 2016 for the US national debt to reach $19.6T. That grew by $5.3T in Trump’s first term, $8.5T in Biden’s term, then another $4.6T so far under Trump 2. We’ve gone another $20.4T underwater since Obama.
No more geriatric leaders with few years ahead of them and no future consequences, please.

Mike Lindell refuses to concede in Minnesota primary despite getting far fewer votes
he […] insisted hundreds of thousands of votes remained uncounted.
“I’m not going to give up this race until the votes are counted,” Lindell said. “That’s nonsense.”
To the surprise of none.
Happy birthday, America! 🇺🇸
When I see someone waving a flag today, I regret that my first wary instinct is to suspect they may actually hate our country. They might claim to appreciate specific parts, so long as those parts precisely match their own corner of it, but otherwise not so much.
I love my country. That means I love the people in it, even if they don’t look like me, sound like me, think like me, worship like me, love like me, or simply exist like me. If your family was around before Europe found it, I’m glad you’re still here. Part of later waves of immigration? Hi, neighbor! Just got here last week, whether through official channels or not? Welcome aboard, friend! To me, that’s patriotism: honoring the actual ideals this wonderful country was founded on, not the twisted little corrupt version politicians push at us.

Opinion | Birthright citizenship overreach by the Supreme Court ends term - The Washington Post:
A more modest ruling, relying on those statutes, would have left the constitutional issue for a future court to consider if and when Congress deliberates on the issue and decides to change the rules.
I use to pay for a WaPo subscription, but their takeover by rightwing extremists ruined it. Imagine wringing hands because SCOTUS made a ruling based on a plain reading of the Constitution.
Uber’s tired of getting sued for breaking laws so they’re trying to change them. Vote no.
Honestly, getting me to take the side of ambulance chasers is quite the accomplishment. I’m impressed by their dedication to evil.
From the text of the agreement to end Trump’s War:
- Pending the final Deal, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America agree to maintain the status quo; the Islamic Republic of Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program, and the United States of America will not impose any new sanctions, and will not deploy any additional forces in the region.
This return to the status quo cost 7-10K killed and 50K injured and $113B to the US alone.
Please, can we stop winning now? We can’t afford any more of these stupid victories.
