Riyadh airport blast so far: - Dozens of ambulances rushing to scene - Travelers evacuated - Eyewitness reports loud boom, people fleeing - Flights diverted - Helicopter often used as air ambulance seen at airport If a new Houthi attack, it’s the third in less than a week.-Reuters

Holy shit.

We refuse to surrender our communities, our democracy, or our future to technofascism.

Graham Platner steps down. The Maine Democratic Party goes to work setting up an inclusive vote to replace him.

🚨BREAKING: California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) will introduce new legislation making ballot seizure before they are counted and certified by a state or county official a felony. In a July 4 recorded speech, Newsom was not shy about who the law targets. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

Merkley: "Is the Epstein investigation closed or open?…The FBI said last year in July that it had closed the Epstein investigation." Blanche: "I don't understand what 'Epstein investigation' means. As for Jeffrey Epstein himself? Yes, he's dead."

Trump doesn't think about regular Americans' economic woes, so what is he focused on? His stock portfolio -- a stunning 3,700 trades in just 3 months, in firms entangled in his government like Palantir, Nvidia, and Boeing Let's make this a big deal. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Authoritarian leaders hate education because ignorant people are so much easier to fool.

“Jeffrey Epstein was under house arrest for the molestation of underage girls at the exact time he was abusing me,” she told lawmakers.

America's chief Middle East negotiator - Jared Kushner - is almost completely dependent on Middle East government investment in his chief business. It's probably the biggest conflict of interest in American diplomatic history and we should be talking about this way more.

The SAVE Act is a voter suppression bill wrapped in a flag. We cannot let it pass. Tell Congress: Vote NO on the SAVE Act → #HealthcareNotWarfare

Gov. Josh Stein just called the GOP’s bluff and saved Medicaid for THREE MILLION North Carolinians. They tried to strip coverage from 27,000 women, children & refugees. He refused to fold. Full story: #HealthcareNotWarfare

WE DEMAND A NATION THAT PUTS WORKERS OVER BILLIONAIRES! People are taking action today at over 4,000 May Day events across the country. #MayDay ❌👑

How Trump turned the presidency into an infomercial #PopularInformation

TRUMP VOTERS EXPRESS THEIR DISAPPOINTMENT New blog post: open.substack.com/pub/dreamwea...

That’s an abomination.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com President Trump, who is turning 80 this year, “is giving old people a bad name,” Gail Collins writes.

lets fucking goooooooo LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court. That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits. Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem had her ass handed to her during a congressional hearing on Tuesday — and not just by Democrats.

BREAKING: Alex Holladay just FLIPPED Arkansas’ HD-70, sending a powerful message that the state is ready for Democratic leadership! He’s ready to be a strong voice for working families in one of the deepest red chambers in the country.

A democratic candidate just won in the *checks notes* Arkansas state house special election. Flip from R to D.

WATCH: “That’s not America. That’s not Tennessee. I’m ashamed of those sons of bitches.” A decorated veteran from a family of soldiers warns Republican anti-immigrant Stephen Miller bills are creating a “Gestapo”. (Bonus: turns out this patriot is a Holler fan 🎉)

For the visual learners…

Another legendary performance at the Kennedy Center. Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, honoring Carole King with ‘Natural Woman’.

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

Happening now: Candlelight vigil for Alex Pretti in Eugene, organized by healthcare workers of Oregon. Alex was murdered by ICE

Agree fuck ICE, Fuck Trump, fuck the fascist Republican Party.

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.” (H/T @marcofoster.bsky.social )

A woman was shot dead on camera and Trump’s ICE is launching a full scale coverup. Nobody is above the law. Federal agents who break the law in Minnesota, Oregon or anywhere else, must be prosecuted.

I'm monitoring first awful reports of two people shot in Portland by federal law enforcement. I'll keep you updated, but Trump's deployment of federal agents in my hometown is clearly inflaming violence — and must end.

UPDATE: Senator Merkley is postponing his Yamhill, Polk, and Marion County town halls scheduled for Friday, January 9 so he can be present in Portland due to the shooting by federal agents of two individuals in East Portland.

“They don’t even know the name of the woman who died, and they are already branding her as a domestic terrorist.” - @smith.senate.gov rips Trump and Kristi Noem for their lies about ICE’s killing of Renee Nicole Good

TODAY: We have the 60 Minutes report on CECOT thanks to Canada, Kash Patel spent your tax dollars on a luxury BMW, and the government lied (gasp) to the courts about who decided to prosecute Kilmar Abrego. Free to listen and subscribe: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

JUST IN: Judge Chutkan orders expedited processing of a FOIA request for files related to DOJ's handling of the Epstein files. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

This is exactly what you do With presidents who coup

We’re launching a daily video podcast this Sunday on the MSW Media YouTube channel. And we have a tinfoil hat segment. Because we have theories. Here’s a sneak peek.

I’m so jealous. Must be nice having a functional high court.

Todd Blanche is gonna blow a gasket. Let’s see if they put Drew Ensign on this. Hahaha
