RESPECT Every politician should be doing this. Mayor Coffman has spent every Friday night since February sleeping at Aurora, Colorado’s homeless center, serving breakfast in the morning, and learning firsthand what works and what doesn’t.

Cape Verdeans are now honorary Philadelphians because that was basically ROCKY. They weren't "supposed" to be there, much less going the distance with the champions and the GOAT, who had to give it everything they've got just to eek out a win in overtime. Bravo.

Obama: I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this when we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters… we open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless, or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Good morning. This is your daily reminder that the President has lost total control of the Iran War and thus has lost interest. He now only obsesses over his ballroom and schemes to profit off the presidency while gas and grocery prices soar.

Many people suspected this was the strategy, and now it is being argued in court. The Trump admin’s position is that if it moves quickly enough to dismantle or alter public assets, courts may be unable to stop it after the fact. In effect, “move fast and break things” is becoming a legal defense.

To the extent SCOTUS is articulating a principle (other than letting the GOP have its way in election cases), it's: a state can do whatever it wants at the last minute to change the rules of an election, & courts can do nothing about it — even with evidence of intentional discrimination.

The U.S. Supreme Court erased all doubts about the sweeping nature of its recent voting rights jurisprudence Tuesday night with a shadow docket ruling that effectively reverses the Court’s own decision in the same matter just three years ago. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

You guys know that Elysium movie with Matt Damon? The one where all the rich live on a beautiful orbiting space station and leave everyone else rotting on the surface of a collapsing planet Earth? Pretty sure that’s now actively the goal of our ultra-rich and they’ll do anything to achieve it.

Jim Acosta just trashed Fox News personality Greg Gutfeld for gloating over a photo of the staff of Colbert Show - dozens of people. "You are celebrating the fact that all of these people are losing their jobs. All because your dear leader can’t take a joke. Seriously, wtf is wrong with you,"...

It should be explicitly clear from this presidential administration that we can no longer simply rely on decency from politicians and oligarchs. There MUST be laws that force them to be decent or they simply won't be.

Any statements made by Donald Trump have to be promptly ignored since nobody can verify anything he says, hold him accountable for his actions, or make him honor his commitments. It's literally not worth listening to him or reporting on him. His word means nothing.

It’s VERY IMPORTANT that corporate media NOT frame this as a judicial settlement. Trump DROPPED the suit this morning. There is no lawsuit, and therefore, no settlement. you can’t settle a suit that doesn’t exist. This is just pure theft.

Here are the facts: People have always had and will always have abortions in all 50 states. Abortion pills are safe, effective, and have been used by millions of people. No court or politician can change either of those realities.

I cannot emphasize this enough: everything we are seeing right now with voting rights, and especially the racist gerrymandering we’re seeing in the South, makes complete sense if you remember it was all in Project 2025. This was part of the plan. It’s white supremacy and too many ignored it.

What a cool idea! Keep the pressure! @redactedreadingroom put all 3.5 million pages of the Epstein files bound together in 3,437 volumes of books, on display in a new exhibit in Tribeca. David Garrett, one of the organizers, says the goal is to push for the release of all of the files. #Pinks

Buttiigieg: "Look, when you are this deep into your second year, if your reflex is to still be trying to blame the previous administration, it really shows that you are out of ideas, out of solutions, and unwilling to take ownership of your own choices."

500 is closer to what I’ve been hearing. They were hiding a lot of TBIs. They’re also vastly under reporting the bases and hardware that were damaged - CNN did a good job on that reporting this week.
