Today: A progressive, student-focused movement with a detailed anti-corruption plan crushed a pro-genocide, strongman incumbent in Serbia. A well-known socialist successfully defeated the perpetrators of Brazilian Jan 6 twice in a row. The Democratic Party & we the people should take notes.

Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.

"Trump has accused Democrats of threatening the country’s economy with socialism. Yet his administration has managed to wreck the country’s finances worse than any government in US history, without the excuse of an economic crisis or a successful major war." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Chris Hayes’ MS NOW interview tonight with Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is just an astonishing, riveting, long-form interview.

Cause our legacy media owned by billionaires and corporations is broken?

Trump: "If you elected a Republican House and Senate on November 3, you're gonna get $5,000. And if we lose, you get nothing. You're gonna get nothing! If we lose, you get nothing. Make it a lot easier vote."

Here's Trump's most homoerotic Jon Husted riff yet and other notable ones from his rally in North Carolina, including him trying to rename hurricanes as "watercanes" and offering a new bribe to military families:

a tragedy but so very telling

The LAPD marched on journalists after they captured footage of them arresting an injured protestor outside of an ICE concentration camp on No Kings: Vote Early. I’m 50501’s National Press Coordinator, & even I can tell you: LAPD is collaborating with ICE & it’s because Mayor Karen Bass lets them.

Ossoff: "I have no interest in running for president in 2028, and to be very frank, with just 16 days before the polls close, I want to urge everybody out there to remain focused on the task at hand. The Trump admin is out of control, they've lied us into war, they've sent prices skyrocketing ... "

At some point, voters will understand that corruption and unregulated corporate greed are deepening an unsustainable wealth gap. We need to rise above the scare tactics are designed to distract and divide us.

@maddow.bsky.social Wickenburg. AZ, ruby red roping capital of the world, where it takes courage to get out there. All the semi's honked in support (diesel?) And 70% of the cars on the way to Phoenix or Vegas. Only 3 fingers and one guy who stuck out his tongue. Surprisingly supportive.

No Kings Rally Staten Island. Vote 🗳️ early and vote for @mikedecillis.bsky.social! 💙#NY11

Energy Secretary Chris Wright admits that Trump is giving "a carrot to Russia" Martha Raddatz points out that just a year ago Wright himself was berating countries for buying Russian oil -- the very thing the administration is now encouraging!

#Dover #NJ ICE OUT (Thx K.K.)

Traitors.

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Florida Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚

The highest court in the land needs accountability after years of Roberts enabling unchecked authority. Force Congress to begin impeachment.

She's so much more presidential than Traitor Trump. But then again, that could be said about the presidents of damn near any other country.

Absolutely 💯 Agree…..

Doesn’t Mitch McConnell owe us a live statement on the death of a US Senator from his own party as Senate Majority Leader?! Tick Tock, #Gop

Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Watch.

The President of the United States is a liar.

Interesting. McConnell’s “proof of life” photo dropped shortly after this segment. 🤔 Gov. Beshear says Republicans changed the law to stop him from appointing a U.S. senator if a vacancy occurs. He argues the Kentucky Constitution gives him that authority and says he’s ready to fight it in court.

So, Mr. Tiny hands claims that there are 1,700 known Iranian sleeper cells in the us. So, Why is ICE wasting time, money, & resources to round up nannies, farm workers, gardeners, daycare workers etc? B/c it wasn't about stopping illegal immigration but about using a fear tactic to stay in power.

Democrats need to stop bowing their heads in shame every time some Republican points a bony, accusatory finger their way. Dems essentially made Hillary sit in the corner for a week after she used the horrifying term "basket of deplorables." Stop it!

The longer we allow grandpa to rage post to distract from the EPSTEIN Files, the more danger he creates for the safety & security of the world. Any doubt he would use nuclear weapons in a heartbeat if he thought it would benefit himself? I'm with Maj. Jason Watson: IMPEACH. CONVICT. REMOVE 🇺🇸

Don’t lie. This was your first thought too, right?

Mitch McConnell's statement today on the passing of his colleague Lindsey Graham: . . . . . .

I was raised to not speak ill of the dead. In therapy, I learned that speaking honestly about the harm done is more important than protecting the dead. Lindsey Graham caused more harm to this state than anything else in my lifetime. His legacy is hatred and brutality. Now, SC can move forward.

Not sure if true…..

Beshear on Lindsey Graham: "His policies, other than support for Ukraine and belief that Russia is the aggressor, is about the only thing I can imagine that we agreed upon, but certainly thinking about his family today"

@hcrichardson.bsky.social turned decades of studying democracy into a nightly act of devotion, writing alone past midnight, no sponsors, no noise, just truth and care. She’s given millions a place to breathe, to understand, to feel less alone. Grateful for her light in the dark. TYSM HCR! #Pinks

Todd Blanche is in violation of the law by not releasing the Epstein files and therefore must go to prison.

I have great respect fr Dems who say nothing nice about one of the worst Trump apologists/collaborators/election denier accompolices, backer of two disastrous regime change wars, accessory to ICE murderous rein. Why others feel compelled to is just... disheartening

Beshear on McConnell: "I'm concerned. I get that we all have a right to privacy for our health, but when you run for an office like mine or Sen. McConnell's you answer to the voters. If you're in the hospital for an entire month, you owe it to the people who elected you to give them an update."

Not sure why the FBI would be involved with a heart attack.

Remember, senators, the most corrupt aspect of Blanche’s “settlement” with Trump was immunity from tax audits. The slush fund for the insurrectionists seemed to be just a decoy. He has walked back the slush fund, but not the immunity! www.nytimes.com/2026/07/12/u...

Thanks to Republicans in Congress and Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill"... An Indiana 40-year old, making $65k per year, who last year was paying $316/month for health insurance, will next year be paying $546/month for that same plan: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Buttigieg: You can see it in the carnival of corruption that is Washington, D.C., today. The leader of the free world flying around in a secondhand jumbo jet from a foreign country while he makes a billion dollars on crypto deals propped up by foreign leaders.

It is extremely wrong how Dems talking point on this is that paying TSA by EO is totally legal and he should have done it sooner. It is not legal, that $10B is only for border security and TSA is not border security. He's stealing the power of the purse, stop saying he should have done it sooner!

As historic as March 28 was, no single day of protest will achieve all that we dream. It’s up to all of us to put in the work every day to co-create that reality. In solidarity.

DC standing strong!
