@themomentwithkaty.bsky.social Google AI suggests the military widow may not be getting all the tax benefits she'd be entitled to if proper documents were on file.

According to new posts on the National Parks official website, Trump is moving forward on his grotesque monument, but now is the time to make your voice heard. Read my latest with links to making a public comment against the arch on the official record: shero.substack.com/p/submit-you...

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Democrats need a comprehensive plan to fix the problems when they regain power.

Please help me share the post below. I don’t have a huge following, but this nomination is a bit under the radar and deserves more attention. His committee vote is this Thursday.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Megan Kelly has a 14 year-old. Does she think her own daughter is almost legal?

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

🧵🧵🧵 In this thread, I lay out more than a dozen facts about Trump and his child-molester friends Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. I challenge you to read the whole thread and then decide what the odds are that Trump did not abuse girls or tolerate his pals Epstein and Maxwell doing so.

Disgusting. First, Epstein and Maxwell run a sex trafficking and child rape ring. Rich and famous people involved or turning a blind eye. Then, collusion leading to slap on the wrist for Epstein. Now, a Trump-Maxwell coverup. Throughout: A betrayal of the victims.

🚨PLEASE REPOST🚨 Next Wed., 7/30 I'm returning to DC to hand deliver healthcare stories to Congress. YOUR VOICES are CRUCIAL. PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING: 1) DM me YOUR story about: Medicaid/ACA/Medicare or SNAP & 2) Please INCLUDE your NAME & STATE ALL STATES WELCOME. Thank you & NEVER GIVE UP!🙏💜

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

I’m seeing many reposts of Donald Trump’s demented distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein mess about Rosie O’Donnell. What I’m not seeing is her sassy response. Here it is:

Our statement in connection with Randy Fine’s Islamophobic attack on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

I have been, and will continue to post this often. Your Guard, Reserve and active duty family, friends, neighbors and coworkers are going to need it. Please share far, wide and often!

What an image! Venezuelan men who narrowly avoided being imprisoned by Trump in El Salvador without trial (saved by the Supreme Court) spelled out an SOS to a @reuters.com camera drone observing the Bluebonnet ICE facility. 11 days ago, buses to the airport were turned around at the last second.

The idea that DOGE merely advises rather than directs agency decisions is a key part of the government’s defense in suits alleging Appointments Clause violations. Elsewhere, DOJ has argued that DOGE is not an “agency” subject to FOIA bc its role is limited to advising and assisting the president.

But the administrative record filed in the Amica case provides direct, documentary evidence that DOGE and its agents are not merely advising but are in fact directing agency decisions. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/on-d...

Remarkable from WaPo poll: Trump sinking fast on immigration among independents. 56% disapprove of handling of issue 62% oppose removing foreign students 52% oppose renditions to El Salvador Only 21% want Abrego Garcia left there Engage, Dems. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1944...

I wrote about some details that the Trump administration might not want to come to light when it comes to what kind of deal Trump has truck with Bukele asharangappa.substack.com/p/whats-the-...

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

The inside of the nutshell summed up by @hcrichardson.bsky.social

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

He wants to cut diwn the Giant Redwoods.

The one answer they gave suggests an effort to wash their hands: "[Garcia] is detained pursuant to the sovereign, domestic authority of El Salvador." Judge Xinis already indicated that position won't be enough to satisfy her order.

Diagnosis: narcissism and full of revenge

The enormous tariffs Trump left in place will cause prices to rise almost 3% points beyond current rate of inflation. Or put it another way Trump is doubling the rate of inflation, on purpose, by design, under his fucking eye.

The insiders seem to have had a 20min warning before the public

4. During this pause, the United States will still have the highest tariffs in the industrialized world, perhaps 10-20 times that of most of our trading partners, and roughly ten times higher than it was before. These are still at or above the Depression era Smoot-Hawley tariffs

UPDATED REPORT: Multiple federal judges temporarily halt Trump's Alien Enemies Act removals. The ACLU filed cases in New York and Texas challenging the administration's use of the wartime power for deportations. Judges responded quickly. Now at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/aclu-bring...

Bessent indicates that Trump still plans to announce new tariffs on lumber and pharmaceuticals despite the pause on the reciprocal tariffs 🤡

America needs to find a backbone. Fast.

Booker: Are you better off than you were 72 days ago?

Government abductions are unconstitutional. Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional. If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute… They’ll get to you soon enough.

NEW: Judge Boasberg issues a show-cause order (precedes contempt sanctions) on why he shouldn't find that the gov't defied his orders. "In an ex parte pleading delivered shortly after today’s deadline, the Government again evaded its obligations." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Putin after a long conversation with Trump, has ordered all civilian areas in Ukraine to be targeted, here residential areas in Kropyvnytskyi can be seen on fire after dozens of Russian strikes on civilians.
