"GEO donated $1 million to Trump's PAC on July 16, three days after the company announced it had signed an $85m contract with ICE. "On July 29, GEO announced it had received another $80m ICE contract; two days later, GEO gave Trump's PAC an additional $413,000..." www.nytimes.com/2026/08/21/u...

I'm looking forward to sitting down tomorrow (August 25) with one of my favorite historians, @hcrichardson.bsky.social, for a live conversation. Join us at 10:00 a.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. ET. It’s free to watch and we’re hoping as many people can join as possible. More details here: bit.ly/46j9ii5

It is unacceptable that a 4-year-old child can be turned away from a publicly-funded preschool program because of who they or their parents are. Pleased to support @equality.house.gov's effort to protect children and their parents from this disgusting display of discrimination.

Diesel has risen from $3.76 at the start of the Iran war to $5.61 today, per CNN. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve sits at 298.7 million barrels, the lowest since 1983. More than a quarter of what remains is unusable, per GAO. There is still no end in sight.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan plans to stop paying certain kinds of mental healthcare professionals for the care they provide. We showed up to find out what it would mean and what we can do about it. It's dangerous. No insurance company should have this much power. Patients over profit.

MacFarlane: This seems to be make believe—this concept of Trump joining endangered Republicans in battleground districts.

For Zeteo UK, my open letter to Louise Haigh, the most powerful woman in the British government, who last year on the backbenches called Gaza a genocide. What is she doing about that now that she is in government? zeteo.uk/p/you-called...

WARNING! Republicans are not behaving like a party trying to win an election. They’re behaving like a group who believe they can’t lose. @eringloriaryan @CrookedMedia

Tur: Why in the world would Jared Kushner be meeting with Hakeem Jeffries? MacFarlane: Well, if there's a sense that the cake is already baked, you could see why somebody in the Trump administration would want to have some audience with the Democratic leader…

There's a lower age limit: You have to be at least 30 years old by the time you're sworn in to the U.S. Senate. Why isn't there an upper limit? 🤔

this is an opinion piece and @mediaite.com should say so in the headline and social post.

From immigrants' rights to freedom of speech in the classroom, we've got parents, caregivers, and students alike covered this back-to-school season. Know your rights.

Attention New Yorkers! Due to Trump’s OBBBA, 450,000 Essential Plan members had their insurance coverage cut on July 1st. This is the last week transitioning enrollees can opt into a Qualified Health Plan. Go to info.nystateofhealth.ny.gov/QualifiedHealthPlans or call 1-855-355-5777 for more info.

Postpartum mental health issues affect 1 in 5 women, yet up to 75% of these conditions go undiagnosed and untreated. The healthcare system is failing our moms. They deserve real screenings and support.

BREAKING: Bessent's "no leakage" approach appeals to Trump 🤷🏼‍♂️

Ford: "I don't respond to a dictator like Trump, a bully like Trump ... I'm not gonna take any advice off a guy that's the king of bankruptcies ... your own people don't even like you. And they're gonna speak loud and clear in the midterms. If I was allowed to, I'd be down there door-knocking."

The Mamdani Administration’s plan to rehabilitate the BQE is a sensible approach to fixing the deteriorating roadway, given clear risks in the coming years if action is not taken soon. (1/3)

“White House involvement in law-enforcement matters, once taboo, is a regular feature of Trump’s second term. But many DOJ officials regarded the political interference in the Live Nation case as extreme even for an administration in which the president has openly…” www.wsj.com/business/med...

NEW: Official notice of appeal by Todd Blanche to the preliminary injunction which required him to release more of the Epstein Files Blanche is fighting the lawsuit filed by @katiephang.bsky.social

Trump declared, "We don't need Canada, they need us." Ontario's premier called it economic war against America's closest friend and ally, and vowed, "You won't get a grain of sand out of Ontario." Some people call that diplomacy. Others call it losing your only friend on purpose.

August 21, 2026 Roanoke Rapids, NC police are investigating the hanging death of 38-yo Demetrius Fleming, found on Roanoke Avenue Friday. Chief Lawrence Wiggins says the case is open and “everything is on the table.” Is MAGA systemically eradicating blacks? Story: thencbeat.com/demetrius-fl...

NEW LAWSUIT: We're suing the National Park Service to disclose the shadowy fundraising effort behind America 250 events. The Trump admin awarded over $103M in federal contracts to politicized groups. We're suing for key documents that expose the details.

In both the short and long term, this trade war with Canada is terrible for Vermont and our country. We must have a tariff policy that is deliberate and strategic, and we can’t be negotiating deals with our closest allies with details written in pencil.

www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus... Legend Mike Schur. Puts its as plainly as possible, talking about hollywood mergers. “They’re bad for everyone except those at the very top – the billionaires who saddle the new companies with debt and profit handsomely from the pain the rest of us feel.”

Interesting. Oklahoma judicial nominee Zach West was a fellow at the conservative Claremont Institute in 2013, but he did not disclose that on his Senate questionnaire. It was one of the first things that came up when I googled him last week. Makes you wonder what else he failed to disclose.

This is the energy.

Trump’s ramped-up economic threats against Iran come after he said he was “low-keying” talks and Cabinet members talked about “the long game” and a “delicate dance.” It looks like Trump is trying to turn the hot war into a cold war and hope the media lose interest. My Stop the Presses newsletter.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford: "We need to throw everything and the kitchen sink that them -- electricity, fuel, potash, uranium ... we can put massive pain on the US. President Trump underestimates us. And that's a mistake."

Trump personally intervened in the DOJ’s case against LiveNation-Ticketmaster, reportedly telling top officials to “settle it.” LiveNation donated $500K to Trump’s inauguration, then hired a law firm with close ties to Trump weeks before the scheduled trial. The corruption is endless.

Armenia is formally allied with Moscow but has been building ties with the European Union for years, amid frustration over Russia's perceived failure to protect it during conflicts with neighboring Azerbaijan. www.courthousenews.com/armenia-to-s...

I'm not saying this to be rude or to attack you, there is a growing sentiment globally that the US are spineless low IQ hypocrites and criminals, people aren't making a distinction between republicans or democrats. It is within your power to prove them wrong, with your actions.

Beijing is rejecting the legitimacy of unilateral US sanctions and is warning that further pressure will increase tensions.

If Trump is so terrified of being impeached it’s a confession that he knows he has committed impeachable offenses. IF NOT WHY BE WORRIED .

CA @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov cancels settlement talks at the last minute due to Paramount’s "bad faith” leaking of & misrepresentation of confidential settlement communications. My analysis with the latest details, incl. why Bonta was right to cancel this settlement meeting. youtu.be/hsZWuBACoaI?si

If Jensen Huang has time to attend a $1 million-a-head dinner at Mar-a-Lago and fly across the world to meet with President Xi Jinping, he can find time to testify in front of Congress about reports that NVIDIA technology is powering Russia’s war machine.

Know the difference, people.

Absolutely 💯 Agree….. WHEN TRUMP IS FINALLY OUT OF OFFICE, I HOPE WE ALL HEAL AS FAST AS HIS EAR DID!

Only people defending AI are Bots, Tech Bros and people profiting from it. Everyone else knows it is an Orwellian Totalitarian Control scam.

Trump has repeatedly revealed his thirst to silence critics, and the Ellisons have revealed their eagerness to help him. This Paramount-Warner Bros merger is still ongoing in the background. Here's what you should know. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-trump-ellison-media-monopoly

The FBI admits it has training videos instructing agents how and who to redact from the Epstein files from March of last year, but they're refusing to hand them over after I sued to get them. Here's the latest. Plus, you get to see my face stitches which are punk af. www.youtube.com/live/J7atCeF...

Who else thinks that Trump is an international embarrassment?! 🤚 Wishing. He’d. Just. Go. Away. 😎✨
