Lindsey Graham, Republican Senator and Staunch Trump Ally, Dies at 71 www.nytimes.com/2026/07/12/u...

BASH: There's an olympian - David Hearn - who was indicted. He faces 10 years in prison. He says he didn't do anything other than reach into the reflecting pool. Do you really think he should face a 10 year sentence? BURGUM: Just bc you were a former something doesn't exclude you from the law

This an official Vatican photograph of Leo at Lampedusa, Italy - one of the world’s heaviest migrant sites - where he went this morning to pray for migrants who died at sea. This is after turning down the offer to come to the United States.

Mourners marched across the Mississippi to the federal building carrying coffins for every migrant that has died in DHS custody.

Today I traveled to Selma with my colleagues in Congress to take a stand against the radical right-wing plot to suppress Black political representation and dismantle our democracy by gutting the Voting Rights Act. We’ve made too much progress in this country to go backwards. We won’t be silenced.

Marching in Alabama… same bridge, same fight, different century… (H/T @memphisforall )

Democrats just flipped Pearland, Texas. Quentin Wiltz has defeated Republican Tony Carbone in the mayoral race — turning a red seat blue.

With Rudy Giuliani in critical condition in the hospital at age 81, despite my differences with him, in the spirit of the common humanity of all people, it is my sincere wish that Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss had a pleasant Sunday with their families.

Last week Trump mocked the Islam faith. Yesterday he continued with his mockery of the Christian faith with a pic of him as Jesus, after insulting the most important Christian observance day, with some asinine truther. Our country is screwed. Maybe my prayer, will be loud enough to help us all.

I loved Mika’s expression - when pictures of Trump’s Arch ( kind of looks familiar, like in a history book I actually read - that wasn’t banned here in TX), was shown on Morning Joe. I had the volume muted, but her look said it all.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to obtain Massachusetts' unredacted voter file. A victory for our clients the New England NAACP and the MA Alliance for Retired Americans and the Commonwealth. My firm is now 4-0 in these cases against DOJ. www.democracydocket.com/cases/massac...

My resolution to overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision — H.J.Res 122 — has now been co-sponsored by 72 Members of Congress. You can view the full list at: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c.... I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line!

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

They are Corrupt Grifting Scumbugs. They barely even try to hide it. Shame on us, as a country, allowing ourselves to fall into this mess. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/b...

Donald Trump is notorious for filing lawsuits at the drop of a hat. He's filed over 4,000 of them. Many for defamation. But Donald *will not* sue Ted Lieu for defamation. Why? He's been told by lawyers that in defamation actions, truth is an absolute defense.

California leads the nation in bringing fresh, healthy, farm-grown fruits and vegetables to tables across the state. That's why today, through our Department of Food & Agriculture, we're investing another $23M to support farmers, strengthen local markets, and connect families with fresh produce.

Who's the "WE" making "a lot of money" from skyrocketing gas prices, Trump? It's definitely not the Americans struggling to pay an extra $1.5 billion at the pump this week.

At this moment, I feel hope here in TX.

This sounds familiar.

I am here in Austin, with a daughter at UT & a son at OU on this game day rivalry, and just saw a Senator Cornyn re-election ad. I think Beto needs to run for Governor again!

🗳️ Oct. 6 is the last day to register to vote in time for Texas' Nov. 4 election. Here's how you can register to vote, check your registration or submit a name or address change.

A reminder that the design of Cologne Cathedral was drawn entirely by hand No AutoCAD. No Revit. Just architects

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

Why are Republicans protecting pedophiles?? What are they hiding?? Swear-in Adelita Grijalva & release the Epstein files.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

MAGA: “why didn’t Biden release the files and why didn’t you guys call for it?!” America: “Because we assumed the justice dept was doing their job. But you all demanded it and now Trump is panicking…. So uh, ya now we def want to know why he’s panicking.” See? Easy!

bingo

As an aside, I wonder if it’s starting to dawn on white people who think Trump/MAGA won’t come after *them* that both Colbert and Kimmel are wealthy Christian straight white guys.

Fox News host literally advocated for murdering homeless people on air, on the most watched television network. But Jimmy Kimmel......

Wokeness has destroyed ABC and the White House, now they're cancelling former Man Show host Jimmy Kimmel

BREAKING: "ABC Will No Longer Air ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Because of Host’s Charlie Kirk Comments" Any Republican cheering Jimmy Kimmel being yanked off the air is telling you they support silencing words they don't agree with. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/bre...

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time "American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

Yesterday at WH: “we are sending homebound folks to El Salvador…the ones who beat old ladies in the head with a bat.” And the person that beat an old man in the head, in his own home, with a hammer, or the people that beat security police in the head with American flags”?….oh wait, their white.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

If your plan is to keep your head down and hope it goes away, I can show you all of human history why it won’t work. If it’s to capitulate and hope they ignore you, I can show you thousands of Trumpers who’ve already lost their jobs & savings. Fighting back isn’t an option. It’s the only option.

We are currently living in The Age of Incompetent Hypocrites.

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔
