She has been covering the Ukraine war for years, relentlessly portraying the toll, sometimes pushing back on narratives fired up by the Trump admin and its acolytes. Her name is Shelby Wilder. And she’s a full time correspondent for .. Newsmax. My column in CJR www.cjr.org/laurels-and-...

Nick Catoggio, gift link: “I’ll believe that the people of this country are capable of a meaningful moral backlash toward the president when I see it, as it’ll be the first time it’s happened. But it isn’t hard to see why the dagger between Ukraine’s shoulder blades might do the trick.”

Abolish ICE Before Its Abusive Tactics Spread to Other Law Enforcement: A Conversation With Radley Balko The agency has gone rogue and cannot be reformed By @shikhadalmia.bsky.social https://www.theunpopulist.net/p/abolish-ice-before-its-abusive-tactics

Defund ICE. Take its entire budget and devote it to a Manhattan Project that can devise and implement sound guardrails for AI, and figure out how to stop what can and should be stopped in the way of superintelligence and recursive self-improvement. AI is far, far more dangerous than immigrants.

A prime reason I am not considering voting GOP at literally any position is because Trump and those around him will seek to use any lever they can for coup plans. So to protect the democratic system of government, I’m voting Dem in all spots this cycle.

6 months ago today, as the US and Israel began attacking Iran, a tomahawk missile hit a school in Iran, killing more than 160 children. Neither Trump nor Hegseth has demonstrated any accountability or transparency. www.cnn.com/2026/07/28/w...

(3/3) Dolly called and asked if there was any way to help with this tragedy. Abumrad replied she was on a vaccine research team but it was expensive and they were still seeking grants. When Dolly heard this she replied "Well I have money" and donated $1m. Abumrad's team produced the Moderna vaccine.

Inciting a coup against your own country is the very definition of TREASON, full stop. There should be a law that prevents traitors from running for office.

BREAKING: FPF, @theintercept.com sue Trump for selling early access to his Truth Social posts. This scheme is extraordinary, corrupt, and unconstitutional, and we are bringing this case to stop it.

KASPAROV: Why can't NATO shoot down Russian missiles over Ukrainian territory? When Iran attacked Israel, the Americans, French, British shot down Iranian missiles. Why can one shoot down Iranian missiles flying at Israel but cannot shoot down Russian missiles flying at Ukraine?

I think today's liberals in the US are used to a social environment where pogroms are rare and don't realize the role armed self defense plays in that state of affairs www.history.com/articles/red...

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

What do I mean when I say that John Brown practiced “fringe constitutionalism”? #America250 #JohnBrown #AmericasForgottenConstitutions

BROWDER: Ukrainians were begging for a while to be part of NATO. I think in a few years’ time Europeans, in a new NATO without United States, are going to be begging Ukraine to be part of it, because Ukraine has now become most preeminent fighting force in our part of the world.

“The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.” Fleeing. The vehicle was driving away. That’s murder. A legal resident of the United States is now dead. The threat to public safety is ICE. It must be eliminated.

i appreciate the @pressherald.com granting free access to their crucial live updates on the ICE shooting of a person in biddeford, maine this morning:

A Police Executive Research Forum report from 2014 showed that CBP officers were purposely placing themselves in front of moving vehicles, and then shooting at them. This isn’t something that can be reformed. Abolish ICE. www.npr.org/sections/the...

Zelenskyy: “Every pure heart in the world expects only one thing from Ukraine: that we defeat this Russian scum. “And we certainly will. We will defend our state.”

30 days of nonstop protests in Albania 0 days of nonstop protests in America Sorry world for the privileged, lazy Americans.

Subtly historic video. Hennepin Co (Minnesota) prosecutors calmly explain the steps state prosecutors go through to criminally prosecute federal agents. They're currently prosecuting two ICE agents for felony assaults. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj1F...

When these people insist the mere presence of people unlike them is an attack on them, their country, or their rights, this is exactly the outcome they are seeking, and disappointment among far right Trumpists is largely that he failed to produce events like this here. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

"By nationality, I'm Venezuelan," Andry Hernandez Romero told me. "But in my heart, I'm American." He is the gay makeup artist Trump sent to the CECOT torture prison in El Salvador. Andry is in Spain now, rebuilding his life and haunted by his experience. www.advocate.com/news/andry-h...

Thank you!

EXCLUSIVE: We obtained dozens of hours of never-before-seen audio and video recordings from the investigative file in the Fulton County election interference case against Trump. Read, listen, or watch: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/new-...

The term “interim docket” not only dramatically minimizes the very real (and often permanent) effects of #SCOTUS’s behavior, but it also whitewashes the disappearance of “irreparable harm” from the Court’s analysis—the very point that (supposedly) makes the request an “emergency” in the first place:

We are ostensibly a free country and the degree to which we don’t know what is actually going on in a vast network of “camps” on our own soil in the year 2026 is….. something we are probably never going to come close to actually grappling with as a country

"Don’t underrate the importance of Orban losing. [With the $90b from the EU now freed up], the Ukrainians are not worried about running out of money, which was Putin’s plan and Trump’s plan in many ways. They can now are take the initiative in the war." youtu.be/lQgfi2duuPE?...

Ukraine is having a far better 2026 than many predicted at the start of the year — and at the start of the Iran war. What happened? danieldrezner.substack.com/p/ukraines-s...

With over ONE THOUSAND documented instances of ICE using physical force against against detained individuals, ICE has proven - once again - it cannot be reformed. It must be abolished. Close private detention centers. End the violence.

"Every day, I still think that back in the 2010s, a single U.S. armored brigade—coincidentally a unit of about 5,000 soldiers—may have prevented the first Russian invasion of Ukraine and the devastating war that followed."

“Conway, Luttig says, “is the only person in America who has been willing to take on Donald Trump every day for the past almost 10 years. … The president of the United States is scared to death of George Conway.” apple.news/AJjUg1R84Q8q...

Zelenskyy is increasingly shifting strategy from Trump to partners like Turkey and Europe, Politico reports.

Dang, this piece from Chris Graham at the Augusta Free Press is so good. augustafreepress.com/news/give-ro...

REP. ADAM SMITH: We roll out red carpet for Putin, we belittle and insult President Zelenskyy in White House — he has no cards, right? Well, year after that, it looks like Zelenskyy had couple of cards to play because Ukraine is actually winning against Russia.

Well, would you look at that: "There is a path to Ukraine achieving overwhelming drone dominance at all levels and inflicting the casualties required to cause a Russian collapse."

STUBB: Most credible security guarantee Ukraine has right now is 800,000-strong armed force and capacity to conduct modern warfare unlike any other NATO member state. Tide has actually turned. We Europeans have to understand we need Ukraine more than Ukraine needs us. They know how to do this thing

What’s happening in Ukraine and Iran? This might help. My latest in the @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/will-wins-...

This is a remarkable and important step. Ukraine, a country under full scale invasion for 4+ years, is signing deals to co-develop/produce weapons with other countries. Saudi, UAE and Qatar are not only confident of but also banking on Ukraine being a functional nation state over the next decade.
