“He's gunna go up to the Upper Peninsula and get a pretty cold welcome.” And the UP said…

The Welsh Parliament has passed a landmark law making it a crime for election candidates to lie to help their political campaign. It also includes a recall mechanism which allows constituents to vote on removing members of Parliament who behave improperly. We need this in the US and more.

“Every member of this ethnic group is a criminal who needs to be imprisoned by the state” is just pure uncut Nazi shit

Troy Jackson: "The gentleman's name was Johan Sebastian Guerrero. He had a 3 year old daughter. The only mistake he made that morning was going to work. Because Sen. Collins is not willing to stand up to Donald Trump, he was murdered in the streets of Biddeford for doing nothing wrong."

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

El-Sayed: "Under Trump and Hegseth, you're seeing extremes that you never would have imagined. The idea that you want to livestream somebody's death for children to watch is truly extreme ... I don't want that to be politics as usual."

Ossoff: "I absolutely believe that Mike Collins would have been among those standing in the schoolhouse door ... Here in Georgia, where we are so proud of our legacy as the cradle of civil rights, I'll be damned if I'm gonna let a man like Collins win this race and represent GA for the next 6 years"

Just despicable people. All of them. It’s not just that they’re corrupt and shitty at their jobs - they’re terrible humans.

Hey, wanna see a murder?

This whole thread is what we’ve lost. The beauty of it all.

Amid outcry, NY prosecutors have reopened the criminal investigation into the 7 Cornell gang rapists, a case that was covered up 2 years ago. These assholes would’ve been punished if they had written “free Palestine” instead of “free p*ssy.” Cornell leadership should be investigated too.

“Reporters were barred from recording video” — Um What? PSA: The moment you obeyed that command you stopped being “reporters” @punchbowlnews.bsky.social

the way this article gives no details about the abducted driver or their condition or wherabouts feels deeply, casually cruel

TEXAS REPUBLICANS DID IT —63 DAYS BEFORE ELECTION DAY Tarrant County, they voted 3–2 to close 92 Election Day polling locations, cutting the number from 316 to 224. More than 100 people showed up to speak out before the vote. Republicans did it anyway. Closing nearly 30% of the polling places.

Suddenly due process matters.

Chicago Public Health announced today that we have a confirmed case of West Nile Virus. Please take it seriously! Might be oversharing but my grandfather died from complications from the 2013 Dallas WNV outbreak. Wear insect repellent and if you’re old / immunocompromised, stay in at dawn and dusk!

When you claim renewable energies aren’t workable—but you attach solar panels to all your dystopian Flock surveillance cameras.

Oh, this needs to happen. No hiding or excuses. Just Darlene Graham and Annie Andrews on that debate stage. 🔥 “The television stations are ready. I’m ready. The only person we haven’t heard from is the woman who believes she deserves to be handed a six-year Senate term.” - Annie Andrews

The Pentagon influencer scandal keeps getting bigger. More partisan online personalities. More government jobs. More taxpayer money. Who hired them, what are they being paid to do, and are military officers violating the UCMJ? This deserves answers.

REP. @AOC: “We the people demand full protected & restored voting rights… guaranteed healthcare for every American as a right and not a privilege… one job with no need for overtime should be enough for our most basic needs…”

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

My union lobbied NYS to pass a heat bill with temperature limits. Now every classroom in my district has an air conditioner. Unionize Amazon.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

On 9/11, US airspace closed, Canada launched Operation Yellow Ribbon. Gander, a town of 10,000, received 38 airliners. Residents immediately sheltered, fed, clothed, and supported stranded passengers for days, providing this hospitality free of charge. interestingengineering.com/culture/oper...

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028, and frankly zero interest in the 2028 fantasy football right now ... these midterms are the whole ballgame ... I don't know that we have a free and fair election in 2028 unless we restore checks and balances in these 2026 midterms."

Imagine working for Newsweek as a journalist while they’re publishing this.

Black leaders across the South have expressed a visceral shock in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision gutting the Voting Rights Act. But as the surprise wears off, a sense of isolation has begun to set in among some. 🔗 politi.co/4vSW46T

I spoke with Mitch McConnell yesterday for about 20 minutes. He said the Republicans are lying, he is dead, and asked that his burial plot not be used as a gender-neutral urinal.

NEW: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” with @texastribune.org

The Commanders have had about 16 starting quarterbacks over the last 30 years that cannot throw as good as this

Inside a women’s prison, a domestic violence victim began collecting others’ stories of abuse. 156 women answered her call. Together, they became “survivor sisters” — and helped shape a new law offering them a path toward freedom. But would it work? Listen to the full episode:

What the heck is going on here? ABC7 is my local station. It isn’t a partisan network, it’s where millions of Angelenos get local news and alerts. So why is the FCC putting its broadcast license under an unusually early review years before it was due? @agomezfcc.bsky.social

But hey, at least we got a costly war and tariffs nobody wanted and he demolished half the White House and trashed the reflection pool!

It was 88°at 1pm as farmworkers harvested peppers in Arvin CA. It's hard work as the plants grow close to the ground so workers need to bend over for long periods. With the current heat, workers begin at first light and keep a steady pace until the day’s quota is done. #WeFeedYou

No lies detected.

There isn't enough focus on the people who could stop this shit.

The world's first trillionaire received 38 Billion Dollars from the US government. But, no, we won't have enough money to pay for school lunches for your kids. Or give you healthcare. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.
