this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

Quite a quote from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair, who was asked about his STOP THE GENOCIDE eye black after today’s game www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world? Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city. I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

Bari Weiss is putting out segments on CBS with John Fetterman proposing that social media is to blame for anti-Israel sentiment because the algorithms favor anti-Semitism. I think it has a lot more to do with seeing a genocide on our phones every day for years now

Here’s how Tricia McLaughlin defended this earlier today; focusing on his criminal record (and exaggerating it greatly by telling about charges and not the far lesser offense he pled guilty to).

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people. Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people. We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

First Bernie Sanders. Then the CDC directors. Now, more than 1,000 current and former HHS staffers are demanding he step down.

UNEARTHED: Donald Trump judges the 1991 Look of the Year modeling competition organized by Elite Model Management, featuring participants as young at 14-years-old. 1/

Thank you for speaking up, this is a win! After growing bipartisan pressure, the Trump administration has agreed to release $1.3 billion in previously frozen federal funding for after-school programs across the country.

The Internet wins again 💀😂😅🤣

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

lmao

Hot take: Young men “playing video games all day” deserve access to health insurance too. In a humane society everyone should have access to health care regardless of who they are or what they do. We should be expanding health insurance coverage, not kicking people off it.

EVERY SENATOR SPEAKING TO A REPORTER: lol i am just so tired after pulling this all-nighter! it’s ridiculous that we are expected to do this. who needs a nap, am i right? *SENATORS PASS BILL LEGALIZING 89 HOUR WORK WEEK*

i would like to start one day without something completely fucking insane.

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

Breaking: The US lost 33,000 jobs in June. They were expecting to *gain* 100,000.

The IDF is behaving psychotically

People like her are just as evil as Stephen Miller.

Cruelty is their goal, they enjoy the cruelty inflicted on vulnerable people.

It is a dark day for freedom of the press. Paramount’s decision to settle with Trump will only embolden him to continue his attack on the media. Trump is undermining our democracy and moving us towards authoritarianism, and the billionaires are helping him do it.

As we’ve reported before, ICE facilities are rife with human rights violations. Now, the Department of Homeland Security is trying to hide them, formally requiring members of Congress and their staff to give seven days’ notice before visiting immigration detention centers.

Just so incredibly embarrassing

I am heartbroken by the news from Colorado where Karen Diamond, a victim of the vicious attack earlier this month, has passed away. May Karen’s memory be a blessing and a reminder that we must constantly work to eradicate hatred and violence.

Revoking an artist's visa for their speech, no matter how controversial, doesn't make us safe. The government should not be policing the artistic or political expression of citizens, visitors, or anyone else.

What nearly $1 trillion in cuts to healthcare would mean for our children’s hospitals.👇🏼

Voters who supported Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso in their most recent general elections = 440,734 NYC voters who ranked Zohran #1 in the *primary* = 432,305 Perfect distillation of how unrepresentative the Senate is

I worked at Planned Parenthood. They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.   Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

i don’t care about trump trolling musk. i care about him attending the grand opening of a concentration camp.

If you think ICE is bad now, just wait till they hire 10,000 more agents and open more concentration camps.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode deficits 3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat.

“In the last week, more than 200 veterans have volunteered to attend immigration hearings with Afghans who worked with U.S. forces during the 20-year war in Afghanistan…”

We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.

Dr. Abdul Basit Khan, a surgeon from the U.S., describes horrific cases of Palestinians who have been killed while attempting to seek aid from Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites.

How does anyone justify this? Seriously, how?

If a bill is so bad that you have to exempt entire states from its consequences to win the votes you need—just don't pass the bill! Why do people in Washington state deserve Medicaid & SNAP cuts, but others don't? This is plain wrong, and it's just no way to legislate.

Sure it's bad but have you heard the words that musicians are saying at concerts these days?

Zohran Mamdani received more first-round votes (432,305) than Andrew Cuomo received total votes after ranked choice voting (428,530). That means more people ranked Zohran first than ranked Cuomo anywhere on their ballot (without ranking Zohran above him).

“The minutiae of Medicaid policy” is a wild euphemism for “16M+ Americans will lose their healthcare”
