Luckily, neither Rebecca nor I got to vote in the Caligornia primary because I do not like my 69 y/o former high school class President billionaire Tom Steyer for Governor. (That said, if he is the only Democrat on the ballot in November and California elected him, he would probably be fine for a septugenarian White cisgender male billionaire.
I'm at that point where I am having to cancel online subscriptions to save some cash. Except Wonkette. Never Wonkette. It's such an incredible value, keeps me updated, and makes me laugh. AND DRINK RECIPES!
One person who isn't concerned about Graham Platner's texts is his wife. She made a video highlighting the distraction from issues we actually care about in Maine like affordability and health care. Graham has my vote because nobody is perfect and he has owned up to his past mistakes better than any other politician I've seen. I'd like 10 more like him in the Senate.
The California governor's race looks screwy because there were only two Republicans and about eight Democrats. CA's "Jungle" primary advances the two candidates with the most votes irrespective of party. This favors the party with fewer candidates running. Ranked voting makes a lot more sense in that as candidates with low turn are eliminated their votes go to their second choice. So eventually the eight Democrat candidates coalesce to the most acceptable Democrat candidate. There;s no danger of two Republicans running in the general election.
"Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) accused Medea Benjamin, the co-founder of the activist group CODEPINK, of assaulting her outside the Capitol on Wednesday. But video of the incident painted a very different picture. “After I questioned Secretary Rubio on Code Pink and their ties to the CCP, their organization followed me out, berated me, and then their head person here in DC smacked me. I will be filing charges,” Luna wrote on X following the incident.
Video of the encounter posted to social media by TMZ showed Benjamin following Luna and questioning her about Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s sanctions against Cuba. At one point, Benjamin’s hand appeared to brush Luna’s arm. “Wait, you touched me,” Luna said. Benjamin begins apologizing, claiming the contact was inadvertent. “It doesn’t matter. You just touched me. You’re gonna walk away right now, or else I’m gonna call Capitol Police,” Luna said. Benjamin then walked away without further incident."
“The Dumocrats are at it again! They are trying to STEAL THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA PRIMARY, AND THE MAYOR OF LOS ANGELES, PRIMARY, AWAY FROM TWO GREAT REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES,” Trump wrote on Truth Social early Thursday. “Here we go with the very late and massive numbers of MAIL IN BALLOTS.”
"The James Comey seashells case is probably on ice for much of the summer. But we got a sneak preview this week when a federal judge in DC confronted another “8647” case which the government wants to treat like an actual threat to kill the president. The case is captioned Accountability NOW USA v. Griess, and it involves a group of protesters who have held vigil in front of the federal courthouse in DC since December 2025.
On April 23, the group sued seeking declaratory and injunctive relief to protect their First Amendment right to protest. But just five days later, the former FBI Director got indicted for an Instagram post of seashells arranged to say “8647,” and Accountability NOW added new signage. Almost immediately, the group started getting harassed by the Secret Service.
On May 12, two agents approached a volunteer to ask if she bore any ill will toward the president. “I want Trump to live forever,” she said, “and rot in jail where he belongs.”..."

Our president stays up all night shitposting and catnaps through the day instead of trying to do anything resembling his job. Winning!
Say hi to Zuri, your hed gif rhino: https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/rhino-hydrates
And here is your meme chat: https://open.substack.com/chat/posts/46ee0173-3221-4b9c-88d9-e4d8060e460c?utm_source=share
I’m always a little surprised that rhinos exist. They are so improbable.
What a wonderful world we have!
They ARE, aren't they?
"Beef with Grandma"
I hate to break it to you, but that is NOT a COW.
Extremely cool.
Rhinoblasty. You nose it makes sense.
You should see her drink a beer.
Give us a kiss!
Although she is no Helen
Zuri has some puffy lips
And she's adorned with a horn
That could sink a thousand ships.
Someone is horny for some hose.
If you blur your eyes a little, that looks like some fanciful alien.
Takes a licking…
That reminds me of something.

LOL, close!
Hey Zuri! You've got style as you quench your thirst.
Cooling drinks are always appreciated!

Santos strikes out again. This guy is Presidential level material.

So Rx Kids reduces evictions and abortions? No wonder Republicans want to kill it.
Imagine being too sleazy for the online betting markets.
Not gonna shed a tear for ol' Kitara Ravache, but why single him out for frauding, when the entire tfg cartel is *right there?*

The "Today in Tabs" link is some Wonkadero-level snark writing - highly recommend.

Maybe Nancy Mace can lend her a sling:

Please do so. That way we can laugh directly in your face.
Like clockwork:

I'm amazed that Trump has the cognitive abilities to know that he needed to drop the B from dumb for Dumocrats.
Left in, people would think dumbocrats were small pachyderms with big, floppy ears who work for a federal regulatory agency.

The more he sleeps, the safer the whole world is.
Wow, Bilton is less qualified than I thought. He’s barely qualified to write a listicle. No wonder Pelley made him piss his pants.
Correction: "straight faced lying" is not "a skill" for narcissists who lack conscience.
