Before this administration, presidents had deployed the military to quell civil unrest or enforce the law only 30 times in the nation’s entire history. As of yesterday, President Trump has done so three times (with a fourth in the works) in just over eight months. 1/5

More from the Suffolk University poll: www.suffolk.edu/-/media/suff... Do you support or oppose "defund the police"? Support - 21% Oppose - 74% Would you support or oppose cutting some of the police budget and using the money for social services? Support - 54% Oppose - 41%

Border czar Tom Homan was investigated by federal law enforcement last year and allegedly accepted $50k in cash from agents who were posing as business executives seeking government contracts, MSNBC reports.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Checking in on this

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer just fired the U.K.'s ambassador to the United States, Peter Mandelson, over his links to Jeffrey Epstein. "In light of the additional information in emails written by Peter Mandelson, the prime minister has asked the foreign secretary to withdraw him."

Only someone who avoided the draft would want to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond.  Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

Psaki: I felt a mixture of anger—a lot of anger—and emotional exhaustion about this today, as I’m sure many of you have, because we have been here so many times. And yet again, like clockwork, half the politicians in our country have little more to offer than thoughts and prayers.

Ben Wittes: "The search of Bolton’s house was designed to send a message. I know because I was there. For a while, I was the only one there. And even as I was there apparently alone, the New York Post was reporting that the raid was happening." www.thebulwark.com/p/john-bolto...

Trump taking a 10% stake in Intel for the government is yet another reminder that Dems, when in power, should stop being afraid of their own shadows and do whatever the f*ck they want and not worry about political norms or rules or conventions or media name calling.

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence

Actually I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States with my hand on @bpl.boston.gov’s 1782 edition Aitken Bible—also known as the Bible of the Revolution.

Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left

Zelenskyy: "I told President Trump and all our European allies that Putin is bluffing. He's trying to push before the Alaska meeting on all directions of the front. Russia wants to occupy the whole of Ukraine. This is his wish ... he does not want peace."

Consumer prices edged higher in July as Trump’s tariffs began to push up the cost of household goods. With new, heavy-duty taxes on goods from dozens of trading partners now in effect, more companies are expected to pass the extra costs to consumers in the coming months.

Talarico owns Will Cain so hard that he has to tap out of their interview based on "time"

GOV. PRITZKER: "It's cheating. Trump is a cheater. He cheats on his wives. He cheats at golf. And now he's trying to cheat the American people out of their votes."

Every day I’m inspired by the bravery of these courageous ICE agents.

NEW FOIA Files newsletter is out! An index from an 8-year-old #FOIA lawsuit shows what's in FBI's Epstein files: bank and phone records, photographs, communications with foreign government agencies and other revealing material related to its 2006 investigation www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Most Americans are worried about the cost of groceries. Meanwhile, Trump is spending $200 million of taxpayers' money to build a golden ballroom.

I introduced a motion to subpoena the Epstein files. We got the votes. Today, we got the subpoena. The DOJ has 2 weeks to release the Epstein files to the Oversight Committee. Justice must apply to everyone, no matter how rich, powerful, or well-connected they are.

i think it is hard for some people to really their heads around the reality that kennedy is staunchly anti-vaccine and thinks that people should suffer through disease and that those who die deserved it and that those who survive are a better order of human being

The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.

Harley-Davidson said tariffs crimped profits in the second quarter as high borrowing costs sapped demand and forced the motorcycle manufacturer to cut production

They are in the US legally, pay billions of dollars in taxes, and have parented thousands of children here. But the Trump admin is stripping them of protected legal status, amounting to the single largest delegalization campaign in US history.

The America First geniuses managed to send hairdressers and soccer players into a gulag and *import* a triple murderer into the US. Nice work. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/w...

1/ The Epstein files don’t have an incentive to lie for a coverup. A convicted sex trafficker in search of a pardon does. The dead giveaway: DOJ can simply release all the Epstein files, but refuses. Also, what's with the wiggle words in Blanche's statement?

Why didn’t Dems put Trump in jail over the Epstein stuff? Because Alex Acosta and Alan Dershowitz got Epstein a deal that came with a non-prosecution agreement for Epstein’s clients and coconspirators. Then trump rewarded Acosta with a job as Labor Secretary.

Rosie O’Donnell must know who’s in the Epstein files if Trump is trying to make her go away.

Really roundabout way to say he’s definitely on the Epstein list.

How the sausage is made in Washington: In the dark and behind closed doors.

While Kristi Noem’s out here blaming everyone but herself, here’s her own April press release bragging about clawing back $882M in disaster resilience grants. The kind that could’ve helped in Texas. They’d rather wage culture wars than actually protect human lives.

The official White House rapid response account is just blatant lying. No taxes on Social Security is not in the bill.

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US. Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them? Or just the brown people?

Our Founding Fathers built this great nation on the premise that no American should ever bow to a king. But as time often reminds us, freedom isn't guaranteed. It's fought for—this Fourth of July and always.

Cutting Medicaid means costs are shifted to providers. When patients lose coverage, they turn to ERs for care they can’t afford. Hospitals eat the cost, pass it on to insurers, and your premiums go up. Medicaid cuts mean a worse health care system for EVERYONE.

Can’t really articulate how furious it makes me to see gentile politicians wield fake charges of antisemitism against Mamdani. It’s not just the plain Islamophobia, it’s the fact that they’re needlessly stoking tensions in a way that puts Jewish New Yorkers at GREATER risk.

How grotesque. The Republican reconciliation bill cuts nutrition programs for hungry kids in order to give tax breaks to billionaires. Good luck to my Republican colleagues in explaining the morality of that to their constituents.
