Happy Juneteenth! Tabs, Thurs., June 19, 2025

Hola Wonkers, Wonkerinas, and friends in between! Wonkette is celebrating Juneteenth by taking the whole day off, so this is your only post for today, until Hooper brings you something wonderful to drink this afternoon!

What are you even going to do with yourself! HOW WILL YOU LIVE? I don’t know, but I’m almost sure you’ll be okay.

Say, do you think it might be likely that there could be some sort of attack or crisis? Say, do you think we’d be in real fuckin trouble if so? (The New Republic)

Florida AG James Uthmeier seems like a real piece of shit, calling for Rep. Ilhan Omar to be uncitizened and deported for ??? doesn’t matter. (Miami Herald) He appears to also be bad at “attorney general,” going by how he’s being held in contempt for defying court orders. (NBC News)
