Toddler safe after German shepherd tracks her for hours in cold dense woods - The Washington Post Good girl!

go.bsky.app/QYt6Qwd Pam Bondi seems to lie like 47. She said terrible crimes were committed in Boston, but all examples were not in Boston. If you want to stop crime, start at the Top. Then Red States. Stay out of Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles. Follow and get behind your mayors.

This is just going to be applicable pretty much every day from now on.

Stanky tanks the economy Happy Friday. There are 459 days until the midterm elections. VP Harris says the system is broken, the Smithsonian erases history and holy crap what a crappy jobs report!

For those who leave their poop behind, remember that there are cameras everywhere.

A reminder that Jeffrey Epstein died in the first reign of Chump. In a federal facility overseen by his Attorney General, Bill Barr. The same Bill Barr whose father first gave Epstein access to kids and a job at the Dalton School when he had zero qualifications to teach there.

I know we're all hoping that the #EpsteinFiles will be THE final straw. But I'm with @piperformissouri.bsky.social on this. Forget the cult. The right win influencers are MAGA; they make $ off MAGA. Focus on the 37% who didn't turn out in November. jesspiper.substack.com/p/the-epstei...

Only MAGA can listen to Donald Trump brag about walking into teenage girls dressing rooms and then think to themselves... "He is the only one who is going to stop pedos".

If you think this isn’t happening or won’t happen in the future with these jackbooted brownshirts running around, you’re NUTS: #MAGAKidnappers

Godspeed, dear kind sir, David Gergen. You were a wonderful soul, a respectful and wise voice. Godspeed.

Trump pushed for it—here it is. 📌 Greg Abbott just called a special session for Monday, July 21, to redraw congressional maps and help Republicans cling to the House. And the shady business didn’t start today 📌 TX-18, a Democratic seat, has been vacant since March. Abbott delayed it until Nov.

So if your response to the best news Democrats have gotten in a decade is to try to find some preposterous avenue toward interpreting this as a bad thing, ask yourself if you have actual hard evidence that this is a bad thing or simply have become incapable of believing that good things can happen.

The people blaming scientists are the same people that said science does not exist.

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

Perfection! If Trump's budget bill is so Big and Beautiful, then Dems are doing the nation a big favor in forcing a reading of the entire 900+ pages. The GOP must be proud of every word and how it'll confirm their promises to Americans. Right? Watch Sen. Booker's stream below! #ReadingIsFundamental

Freedom and Liberty!

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

Open secret: authoritarian regimes strive for the image of monolithic strength; however, they are always much more fragile than they appear to be. Our task, if we choose to accept it, is to find nonviolent ways to divide the authoritarian regime against itself. #prodemocracy

Tensions flare as immigration agents arrest another U.S. citizen for allegedly interfering in operations - Los Angeles Times This has to be stopped. This is not the America I know and love, it’s the beginning of the end of her. This must stop.

Let God be clear. The people who want war in the Middle East to bring about the “End Times” are MONSTERS.

It's important to understand the irreparable harm argument against deploying the national guard in California. Trump is taking essential personnel away from fighting fires and drug trafficking to guard federal buildings against no one. Immigrants aren't the danger. Trump is.

Don't Throw Out Coffee Grounds, Put Them In Your Garage - Tasting Table

Despite protests already being managed by the Los Angeles Police Department, President Trump is escalating the situation by threatening to deploy roughly 500 active-duty Marines to the streets of Los Angeles. Los Angeles: Remain peaceful. Don’t fall into the trap that extremists are hoping for.

There was no need to federalize the National Guard. There’s surely no need to bring in the Marines. This is all about a weak, despotic man sowing chaos and conflict. He must be opposed and revealed for what he is. www.americaamerica.news/p/pushing-ba...

🆘 INVESTIGATE ICE‼️ Call your representatives and demand they investigate these unidentified, mask-wearing thugs. Demand Democrats in Congress hold hearings, sanctioned or not on ICE. We want answers. WHO are these people? Where are the warrants? Why are they kidnapping folks off of the streets?

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America
