So sad. Huerta was an icon, while always being such a kind person.

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) — Dolores Huerta, United Farmworkers co-founder and civil rights icon, has died, her family says.

Hegseth is decimating our military readiness and demonstrating increasingly unhinged, unprecedented behavior at the Department of Defense. This much is clear: he is willfully unqualified to be anything other than a talking head on TV.

extremely weird shit during the Jack Smith hearing -- Sen. Eric Schmitt's team briefly displays a poster board that Schmitt claims contains evidence Smith committed perjury, but then Schmitt's team takes it down before anybody can read it and refuses to show Smith what it says

Somehow all the Republicans who claimed to be very concerned about fraud based on lies and misinformation a few weeks ago are silent on this. How haven’t they all been forced to answer questions about this?

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Gov. Ron DeSantis’s administration diverted $10 million in Florida taxpayer money to a charity tied to his wife, a grand jury found. The transactions amounted to misuse of public funds as “part of a sophisticated scheme to fund political activities,” the jury said. nyti.ms/3SjdBXA

Dropping an SPLC indictment on the anniversary of Unite the Right is a clear message.

Trump is now the leader of the “Blame America First” party

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

Schumer (who we're no fan of) couldn't have had LESS to do w/ Troy Jackson's victory but that's not the point here. The point is to trot out an antisemitic trope about a Jew "pull[ing] the strings" as a dog whistle for Susan Collins to show affinity with bigoted support. Beyond vile. #MEpolitics

Trump-endorsed 30-year incumbent Susan Collins is just flat out lying in her solicitations now. #mesen #mepolitics

The U.S. (again) in a shooting war with Iran. Gas prices are soaring (again). And middle class families are hurting. But this is what Trump wants to use a primetime presidential speech on?

it's even dumber than you think

Always feel for the staff in situations like this. Hope the campaign leadership helps them all land on their feet and when the nominee is finalized - they consider bringing many of the younger staff on board the new campaign as they build out their team.

King Charles III of Britain is set to release details of his personal income taxes on Thursday, becoming the first British monarch to do so amid public demands for more transparency from the royal family.

It isn’t like we have a massive energy crisis and record high gas prices, so makes sense for the Energy Secretary to be partying rather than working for the American people… Oh, wait.

US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright is here? Why?!?!

Can’t think of anyone better for @davidjolly.bsky.social to pick as his running mate and governing partner than Gwen Graham. Together they will win in November, restore accountability to Tallahassee, be champions for students and public schools, and make Florida affordable again.

David Jolly@davidjolly.bsky.social

Florida deserves leadership ready to meet this moment. That’s why I am excited to announce that Congresswoman Gwen Graham has agreed to serve alongside me as Florida’s next Lieutenant Governor.

So a FL man, who rioted at the US Capitol on January 6 and was put back on the street by Donald Trump, went on to molest multiple middle schoolers. He tried to bribe those children into silence by offering them a cut of his piece of Trump’s eventual taxpayer-fueled slush fund.

RESULT: Democrats have flipped this school board seat in Tulsa. They ousted the conservative board member I wrote about here, who suggested that immigrant children endanger other kids.

Yet another school board race in four days you should know about: A member of the school board in TULSA said immigrant children are threatening the safety of other children. She faces a Dem-backed challenger on Tuesday. boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

Florida scrub-jays are amazing. And they are the only birds that live in Florida - and no where else.

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social

"A young tech entrepreneur who recently moved to Florida got upset when he ran into obstacles while trying to build a house on the habitat for the endangered Florida scrub-jay. So he filed a lawsuit attempting to strip the bird of its federal protection."

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Your Jewish friends and neighbors are tired. Sometimes we just want you to understand why our community and our synagogues being repeatedly attacked is frightening, without explaining it away because of the Mideast or comparing it to other forms of hate.

Imagine you are a Lego fanatic. In ~3 years (Aug22-Nov25), how much could you spend on Legos alone? AZ's winner-this is one ESA account-spent $15,944.59 of AZ taxpayer money on Legos* (*May be more: WalMart Target Michael's etc purchases aren't disaggregated. Waiting for those data.)

Eric Jotkoff reposted

What makes the data recently obtained by AZ 12 News’ Craig Harris a new chapter in the ESA debate is the presence of unique IDs. Earlier data allowed statements about overall purchases; now you can see the set tied to a single account. This account holder bought estrogen, progesterone & a pool.
