Here is AOC and Mamdani laughing at the solemn 9/11 commemoration. Oh wait…

This is fun

In the past week, reporters learned Pete Hegseth: - blocked more minority promotions - cut DOD's civilian protections against unanimous advice of commanders - was told by his brass that Iran ops are unsustainable - secretly hired far-right milbloggers - is exploring a 2028 presidential run

He didn’t change. They did.

You could grow a spine and do your damn jobs.

Hmmm…

www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/o... A good read

While ICE lies & refuses to investigate its execution of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, DA Sean Teare asks: "Anyone that was there that day, anyone that has a snippet of footage from a camera, regardless of whether or not you think that it's even relevant — send it to us." www.rawstory.com/texas-ice-26...

Hell yeah 👏🏽

A proposed rule fueled by Trump’s conspiracy theories would require the USPS to keep a list of voters it believes should be allowed to vote by mail—and give them the power to hold those ballots hostage. Urge them to say NO and help protect voting by mail: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

Now they're fighting... the Weather Channel

Congrats NYC! So happy for you

Incredible line from a grand juror in the Broadview 6 case, who had just asked the prosecutors why they get "unlimited tries" to indict people they don't want to indict: "I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of shit then and I still think it is."

www.lavote.gov/home/voting-... There are various live cameras in the ballot counting room in LA country. Talk about transparency

So congress just voted to align our military with Israel’s even tho we have them at the highest espionage threat level???

Chaotic, unplanned cuts to US programs eroded the infrastructure that was keeping the world safe. Now, An American father is fighting for his life. The whole article is just damning. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/h... @apoorvanyt.bsky.social

America's chief Middle East negotiator - Jared Kushner - is almost completely dependent on Middle East government investment in his chief business. It's probably the biggest conflict of interest in American diplomatic history and we should be talking about this way more.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

And here comes @realjaredhuffman.bsky.social from the top rope

🚨HOLY SHIT: MAGA Congresswoman Jen Kiggans tried to COLLUDE with a radio station host to DELETE an interview where she agreed to tell Hakeem Jeffries to keep his “cotton-picking hands” off Virginia. Share this EVERYWHERE to to keep her racism from being buried. #JimCrowJen

Yup. That sums it up. All he forgot was to add "but me" at the end.

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

My family vacations were never this much fun

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Congress gave money for global HIV work. The Trump administration isn't spending it - NPR This is not good, Congress needs to wake up

This is absolutely fantastic. ht: @maddenifico.bsky.social

“I think he’s gone.” Trump’s former White House lawyer Ty Cobb says Trump is “clearly insane”.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Marines say “lawful immigration status inquiries” will be made by “federal law enforcement personnel.” DHS only provides a more limited denial, with the spokesperson saying that ICE “will not be making arrests” at graduation. Those are three very specific elements being denied.

“Mind-blowing corruption”

🇺🇸 Traders placed $580mn oil bet ahead of Donald Trump’s social media post on Iran talks “My gut from watching markets for the last 25 years is this is really abnormal,” said a portfolio manager FT www.ft.com/content/1171...

Committing perjury and knowingly making false statements to Congress is a crime. Kristi Noem made several demonstrably false statements during her disastrous appearances earlier this month. We just made a criminal referral to the Justice Department.

Bovino sent this email at 3:11 p.m. on Oct. 4. This is what the scene looked like at 2:48 p.m. when the first group of feds made their exit. They gassed people again at 3:27 p.m. So during this attack, Bovino congratulated his guy who kicked everything off by shooting a woman five times.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Periodic reminder that ICE still isn’t going after “hardened criminals” We would all support that. What do we gain from yanking this father away from his wife and child? What do we gain from deporting people who have been here for 20 years and never been in legal trouble?

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

Meanwhile near where they killed Renee Good ICE was terrorizing a high school — and now Minneapolis has canceled school for the week. None of this is about safety. A lawless regime with no guardrails.
