Why isn’t this headline news? If this had happened during the Biden Administration @jaketapper.bsky.social would have already written a book about it. www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

Keep in mind: Trump put tariffs on Ukraine and exempted Russia

What he said: 💯 🎯

Murdering crew members claiming they were smuggling drugs while pardoning a drug kingpin. Very on brand for the Trump regime.

Agree or disagree?

So when is @jaketapper.bsky.social going to be releasing his book revealing that Stephen Miller is actually the one running the government, his disastrous presidency, his decline, & it’s cover-up of preventing from doing pressers after 6:00 pm when he’s sundowning & rambling like grandpa Simpson?

So who’s going sue CBS since they allegedly deceptively edited a 60 minutes interview with Trump to “further gaslight the American people ahead of the midterms.”? Trump got $16 M after suing CBS for allegedly deceptively editing a 60 minutes interview Kamala’s interview. apple.news/AAy25DXgATM2...

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

Some thoughts on today’s awful murder

Gun violence is cowardly, and so is our political leaders’ collective refusal to do anything to stop it.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: "They claimed there was more than those two factors - being Latino and speaking Spanish. They say it's because people are working in low-wage jobs." STEPHEN COLBERT: "So people with low-wage jobs have fewer protections?" AUDIENCE: "Boooooooooooooooooooo"

They all have short memory syndrome. They don’t want gun control but when something bad happens they blame it on the left. When they don’t get immune they blame the left for trying to control their lives. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink it. 🤷🏽‍♂️

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath. Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history. So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

Moskowitz on Mike Johnson: "If he was lying then, is he lying now? ... I don't think in the history of this country we've had a Speaker of the House say the president was an FBI informant ... we need to hear from the FBI."

More of this.

Rep. Massie only needs one more House member’s signature to force a floor vote on his bipartisan legislation to release Epstein-related documents.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

The Felon wants to "Liberate" DC? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! 🗣🔥🔥🔥

I used to think trump was trying to distract from the Epstein files, but inflation is getting so bad, and his big ugly bill is such a disaster, it might be those too. America under trump is unaffordable. And 2026 is coming.

NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned. Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.

Rep. Adam Smith: "Look, it's pretty clear the president wants his own domestic police force and step by step he's trying to create it. We should be deeply alarmed by that regardless of how you feel about crime in DC or any other city ... it's a huge step toward an autocratic government."

How convenient…😒

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

Deregulation. Privatization. Tax cuts. Free trade. Stagnant pay for most. A soaring stock market for the top. That’s the legacy of neoliberalism. Don’t buy revisionist attempts to rehabilitate it. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-tragic-history-of-neoliberalism

Saying the quiet part out loud.

Robert Morris, former Texas megachurch pastor and Trump adviser, indicted for child sex crimes…. I didn’t know he was a drag queen…

Elon Musk, the Pillsbury DOGE Boy

My heart goes out to my fellow Texan Congressman Burgess and his family during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with them, asking for comfort and strength in the days ahead.

Complicity.

Early reports that Russian and Syrian forces have fled Hama airbase. More consequences of Putin’s war in Ukraine - he’s overcommitting troops to try to make progress in Ukraine and leaving himself vulnerable elsewhere. Losing in two theaters at once is pretty impressive.

Well played. And frighteningly accurate.

Being Governor of Illinois is one of the great honors of my life — and one of my favorite parts is getting to talk with Illinoisans about the work we're doing to get big things done. I'm excited to officially launch my account here and share updates with you all.

The Georgian people are fighting for their freedom. Pray for them. GD is Russia, Georgia is Georgian

Jesus Christ. Dangerous doesn’t even begin to cover it - this is a security nightmare.

"Lower prices," he said. But Trump's tariffs on our top trading partners could mean just the opposite.

I’m starting to think that the longer we shield Trump voters from the worst economic outcomes, the worse things actually will get. Sometimes people just have to find out the hard way, sad as that is. Yes, we will suffer. But at least they will learn that elections do have consequences.

Raw unvarnished truth here.

Too much? lol

Elon thinks he’s Tony Stark, but he’s actually Lex Luthor.
