Of course the Trump Savings Accounts for kids turns out to be scam. In effect, "our president is helping rich donors offload overvalued stocks onto children, who are forced to hold the stocks for five years whether they want to or not." www.rawstory.com/trump-accoun...

But this White House wouldn't want anyone knowing about that one, would they? www.zinnedproject.org/collection/t...

It's true, there's no precedent in French history (nor, uh, at the Bastille) for popular protest or property destruction. Great point. No one tell history-buff & self-styled francophile Thomas about Gustave Courbet & the Vendôme Column. He might short-circuit & issue another Open Letter

Federal agents tapped Flock license plate cameras maintained by local police while trying to locate Marimar Martinez, the Chicago teacher shot five times by a Border Patrol agent. A federal attorney testified that prosecutors gathered photos of her car from those cameras.

Activists are planning a week of action against what they call a major ICE “spy center” in an office park in Williston, Vermont, a town of about 10,000. 🧵 truthout.org/articles/act...

“David Brooks, my advice to him is, if you’ve built a career out of pretending to be a moral scold but divorced your wife to marry your much younger intern, and made up stuff about Red Lobster and sopressata, and are just generally a bore, maybe it’s past time to shut up.” -Me, just now

What about that time when nazi denialism was the default third way stance of nazi adjacency apology?

question for brooks: what if they are, literally, nazis?

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

Has Alex Vindman put any money into Nixon's race to win Florida? How much is he holding that could be spent? Are these people really Democrats at all?

Age. Timing. Selective memory. Say what you will, I know for a fact that people used to have more sense than they do now.

There's this really odd pattern with Bari Weiss, JD Vance, Richard Hanania etc, where they rise to prominence because their main skill is cultivating the friendship of wealthy patrons, but it's impossible to figure out how they do it because they constantly exude a pungent strain of anti-charisma.

Media coverage of Trump’s armed robbery of Venezuela's oil shows “a news industry that has been laundered of a basic sense of right and wrong. Shockingly few people in the media are asking: Do we really want to be a country that blows people up and steals from them?” My Stop the Presses newsletter.

not only does this sound incredibly petulant, it also sounds like he rehearsed it for four hours in front of a mirror and still couldn't nail the delivery. what a dork.

i have been saying that he would start talking like this as we got closer to november

you see, no one has standing when it comes time to sue the president because he is a very special birthday boy

"Just read." Who has hours a day to listen to someone else's stream of consciousness?

NOTE: It was Chief Justice John Roberts who granted the Trump administration the administrative stay requested in the ballroom case, not, as NBC and the WSJ push alerts said, the “Supreme Court.”

I done woke up, do you? youtu.be/3vieO4wGYCk

“This might sound fine to a taxpayer who doesn’t make a million dollars, but Wisconsin — like every other state — relies on wealthy taxpayers to support state infrastructure, public schools and social programs.” Sure, Jan.

Also, the Muslim Americans who worked in the towers are consistently erased from the story. In the name of “sensitivity” to Islamophobes who also felt the loss

Army Sgt. Hedar Leonel Turcios Juarez is an active-duty military service member stationed at Fort Bliss. His wife is currently being detained at the private detention centers on his own base. This is how out of control ICE is. apnews.com/article/mili...

Q: Any comment on Rep. Max Miller? TRUMP: I hope he's able to work it out. I feel badly for him.

@ellmanforcongress.bsky.social where is Alissa today?

@ellmanforcongress.bsky.social where can we get yard signs in South Seneca Co.?

a republican congressman allegedly broke his two-year-old daughter's collarbone and he somehow hasn't been run out of congress. there really is no bridge too far for these ghouls.

While Black Americans more "American" than whites: "typical black American has much deeper American roots than the typical white American Trump himself, whose grandparents all foreign-born, is an excellent example of relatively shallow white American roots" www.niskanencenter.org/logic-populi...

This is how we get our news in the Delaware Valley.

“Trump’s increasingly senseless human rights nightmare has totally lost the plot.”

FFS 🤦‍♂️ The Pentagon removed the names of 4 servicemembers who died in Jordan from their official list of casualties. They explain that this is because "their deaths occurred after President Trump declared a cease-fire in the war in April." www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/u...

"Established in 1907, M&F Bank (named Mechanics and Farmers Bank until 2015) is the second-oldest Black-owned bank in the country. It was a fixture of downtown Durham’s Black Wall Street neighborhood in the early 20th century." Read more at: www.heraldsun.com/news/busines...

Human rights lawyer Wu Shaoping barely escaped arrest in his native China in 2019. The anti-communist Christian convert applied for asylum, made it to Pa. - doing it all the right way But in Trump's wretched America, the gulag is one traffic stop away My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/wu-s...

🚨 ICE just published their recent numbers and it's worse than we thought. JUNE: ICE and CBP took 43,138 people. That works out to 1,474 of our neighbors every single day. JULY: 65,765 people are now inside US concentration camps.

The Justice Department appears to have included a fake AI-generated. citation in an ICE detainee's case. Judge Jarbou, a Trump appointee in Michigan, called it out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I was at our county fair in the 60s and the John Birchers had a table with exactly that assertion.
