8647. Please.

Extraordinary, powerful and heart-wrenching. Active duty Marine Colonel Zach Schmidt, speaking in his personal capacity, about Khalil, an Afghan national whose family helped U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Khalil was deported by the U.S. on Friday to a conflict zone.

Impossible to argue with this.👇

ICE "should not be allowed to do this." @pingree.house.gov

Blanche (July 2026): "I met [Trump] as his criminal defense attorney. I'm not sure there's very many people who have ever had a criminal defense attorney who calls that person their friend." Blanche (April 2026): "I love you, sir."

As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs. It's terribly backward. It's also counterproductive. Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.

(I suppose there may be one “good” - tho dubious - in our having had a Trump presidency - is its revealing just how racist a country we really are - from the least of us all the way up to the Supreme Court - something that’s not news to about 40% of Americans of color - who deal with this daily.)

I wrote this a month ago. It’s more true every day.

Stuart Stevens makes an excellent argument for the states to start prosecuting Noem and Miller under state law NOW. By doing so, they could never be pardoned by Trump. www.youtube.com/live/uYWrBX2...

I’d bet a lot that this fat ICE thug has a history of abuse against women. We need all the ICE thugs names.

My colleague got into Trump's sprawling family detention camp, which is full of toddlers, kids, & teens. - Kids have cut themselves or talked about suicide -There's worms & mold in food -300 kids have been held for 30+ days, far longer court settlement allows www.propublica.org/article/life...

All Katie does is lie Houses in The Palisades have been built, more than 1,625 rebuilding permits have been issued, & hundreds of homes are currently under construction To say otherwise flies in the face of the survivors putting their lives & communities back together after a horrific firestorm

Amazing! Way to go Minneapolis!

KRUGMAN: “.. How did a great, sophisticated nation, one of the world’s longest-standing republics, end up so fragile that it can be undone by one man’s dementia?” @pkrugman.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

New polling data shows that it's getting increasingly embarrassing to identify as a Republican, and some Trump voters are slinking away and pretending it never happened. www.salon.com/2026/01/19/s...

Thank you, Dr. King, for your courage, your sacrifice, your relentless fight for justice. You didn't ask to be remembered. You asked us to act. Honor him today: stand up, find your voice, speak truth to power, and keep walking toward justice. We the People shall overcome.

The detainee was an immigrant from Nicaragua who was being held in an immigration detention facility in El Paso, which the ACLU calls a “human and civil rights disaster.”

Ukraine removed nukes with promise from Russia not to invade. Since Russia has broken that promise it is only rationale for Ukraine to join NATO.

"Miles Taylor, a former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, is leading a group of dozens of former national security officials, whistleblowers and a bipartisan group of former elected officials to create a website called defiance.org. "

I will be very disappointed if this doesn't happen.

Should funding for SNAP run out at the end of the month which is likely, “we will have the greatest hunger catastrophe in America since the Great Depression, and I don’t say that as hyperbole”, said Joel Berg, CEO of Hunger Free America. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

christ almighty what is this guy doing www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Whoa. Jeff Daniels. Did any of you see/hear him perform that song he wrote, "This Crazy World," on Deadline White House? The lyrics are beautiful and poignant, and... Wow. Just when I'd thought I couldn't love Jeff Daniels more than I already do, he does THAT.

Jeffries: "Why don't Republicans want to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva. Is it the Epstein files?"

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons. Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.

I’m sorry but the fact that this is not everywhere is kind of malpractice

Despite its success, the NC GOP will no longer fund HOP, a program providing housing assistance, food, & medically-related transportation to 13,000 rural Medicaid recipients. "The cuts are part of a $320M reduction in Medicaid spending" by the NCGA. #ncpol 🎁 Article www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/h...

Imagine the mixed currents young people get now — whether from $$, trafficking, social media, AI, authoritarianism & gun — cultures all converging in the cauldron of a forming mind.

Reading much tonight on Charlie Kirk, who he was, what he said and believed -- from both admirers and those deeply opposed. It does not matter. None of it. What matters is that political violence made routine against any voice, left or right, marks us as a failing, dying republic. This is horror.

HUGE VICTORY: Democrat Catelin Drey won today’s special election for an Iowa Senate District, breaking Iowa Republicans’ supermajority in the state Senate. iowacapitaldispatch.com/2025/08/26/i...

Today is the day that Trump was supposed to impose tough new sanctions on Russia if they didn’t agree to a cease fire.

Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”? You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.

Maybe we can have an alternate squad that rounds up billionaires and sends them away to tax reformatories.

Seems like time to round up billionaires and send them off to tax reformatories.
