SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know

After the Supreme Court declined last week to hear Trump’s appeal of Carroll’s successful defamation case against him, the president has made excuses and tried to get out of paying her. A federal judge is ordering that he does. trib.al/YLRUG9f

Getting rid of well-respected high ranking members of the military in order to install loyalists is what you do when you are planning to do the wrong thing and want to make sure the military complies with your orders.

Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

State and national Republican groups have developed a new midterm strategy after the left’s big wins in New York City on Tuesday: fearmongering about communism and the death of the nuclear family. (Oh, wait, that’s actually not a new strategy at all.) trib.al/rVWObWF

This is absolutely nonsense. The Postmaster General said during a Senate hearing today that if a proposed federal mail ballot rule takes effect, the Postal Service would refuse to deliver mail ballots in states that do not turn over sensitive voter data to the federal government.

The theoretically nonpartisan postal service won’t deliver ballots if states don’t hand over their absentee/mail-in ballot voter lists to Trump. “This is basically a back-door way for the federal government to get voting information that states control under the U.S. Constitution.” trib.al/yrhMiYG

People who believe that a protest's success or failure is determined by immediate policy changes are the same people who believe civil rights and voting rights happened because MLK Jr gave a speech with a great line in it.

I see people characterize the student protests against Israel as failures, and I really don’t think that’s true. They may not have toppled the U.S.-Israel alliance or ended the genocide, but they have helped usher in a generational turning point in attitudes toward Israel and Palestine

First to MS NOW: Senate Democrats are calling on the Postal Service not to move ahead with new mail-in ballot regulations that, they say, will "establish President Trump's control over federal elections." Democrats fear the USPS could be transformed "into a federal election administration agency."

in addition to every other problem here, mamdani spends the vast majority of his time in the public eye speaking about hyper-local new york city governance issues. the idea that he is preoccupied with israel at all times is based on nothing other than the fact that he is muslim

I've been paying into Social Security since I was 12 yro... Ooops isn't gonna fucking cut it. Eliminate the cap; everyone pays their fair share!

BrooklynDad_Defiant!@mmpadellan.bsky.social

I've been paying into Social Security most of my life, since I was 18 (I'm 58 years old now). This is a very real fear and concern for me, and for many family and friends who will be relying on it to survive. If this doesn't make you furious, you are not paying attention.

Two pages. The same story. SNAP cuts: American children are losing food assistance and going hungry. USAID gutted: Children overseas are dying after humanitarian aid was cut. History won’t remember the excuses. It’ll remember who let children suffer. #RepublicansStarveChildren

Just 10 days after the SpaceX IPO, the stock has plunged and the average investor has seen most of their initial gains disappear. And don't forget: rules protecting investors from volatile new stocks were gutted — at SpaceX's behest. The universe's largest Ponzi scheme?

From pushing for dangerous fetal personhood bills to denying lifesaving care to pregnant women, anti-abortion Republicans show every single day that overturning Roe was never going to be enough.

If Congress doesn't act now, Social Security benefits could be cut by more than 20 percent after 2032. Senator Bernie Moreno and I have a bipartisan solution: lift the Social Security payroll tax cap. We need to save Social Security for the next generation. Let's get this done.

Every single Senate Republican helped enable the new and horrifying reality women face under Dobbs. They don’t just want women to stay pregnant—they want them to stay silent. But not on my watch. I will hold a burning spotlight on what Republicans have done EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Elon Musk is apparently going with "the Lancet study that proved I am responsible for the deaths of millions of children was concocted by the evil Jewish puppet master." Because Elon Musk is ideologically a neo-Nazi.
