For a healthy democracy, we need more political diversity. No two-party monopolies. I truly believe Dems need to step aside and let independents like Bernie or Green Party candidates share the spotlight to unify the left against the fascist MAGA cult. ☮️🤙🇵🇸

Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, are increasingly being subjected to forced displacement and land seizures, the UN human rights office reports. Well documented, essentially unreported in US media. news.un.org/en/story/202...

I have low expectations for @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social, and even I was shocked by the naked Islamophobia that she was engaging in, including falsely accusing him of "global jihad". I called her office and told them that this behavior is unacceptable from a sitting senator ☎️: (202) 224-4451

Senator Gillibrand called on Al Franken to resign. I think she should resign for falsely smearing Zohran Mamdani as a terrorist. He has never invoked a ‘global jihad’. This is a nasty, Islamophobic racist smear from a sitting Dem senator.

In today’s adventures in U.S. war powers. Old: POTUS unilaterally directing the use of military force against other countries. New: POTUS unilaterally approving use of military force against U.S. forces.
Lmao. I knew it was telegraphed to the point of constructive approval, but actually saying that is *wild*

remember when Elon Musk straight up performed a Nazi salute, twice, on stage, and the NYT was like "hmm, huh, what can this mean, who can say"
Zohran Mamdani, with a record of anti-Israel activism, won over some Jews in the New York City mayoral primary, but confirmed other Jews' worst fears about the American left.

Deporting children of military veterans because they were born on an overseas military base. This man has no citizenship now.

America's NATO allies come to the exact same conclusion as the DIA concerning Trump's Iran bombing. The Iranian program is still intact, having suffered only modest damage. Iran retained its cache of enriched uranium on.ft.com/46c4UCH
Why can’t they just admit the pilots did everything right, but that the bomb just didn’t hit deep enough. It’s a simple acknowledgment. @aoc.bsky.social @mcuban.bsky.social #maga #trump #iran #republican #usa
Most of this “press conference” is this lunatic yelling at the media. This guy is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function.

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.
Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼♂️ @aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔

Senate Republicans are trying to rush through Trump’s “Big Beautiful” bill — packed with a billion-dollar Big Oil giveaway and brutal cuts to Medicaid. It’s a massive wealth grab from the poor to the ultra-rich. We can't afford to stay silent. 📣 Tell your Senators: VOTE NO. 👉 ourrev.us/cqnvso

I really really really encourage you to read (or listen to) the whistleblower letter about Bove's actions in the Alien Enemies Act Case, the Abrego case, and the South Sudan/Djibouti case. Andy McCabe and I have just released the audio version, for free, here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

Hiding declassified files and presidential records is yet another way for the administration to dodge accountability. The authoritarian always seeks to limit your access to information.
👀 Spotted by @diking.bsky.social on the National Archives website: “Effective July 7, the National Archives at College Park, MD, will become a restricted-access federal facility with access only for visitors with a legitimate business need. It will no longer be open to the public”
