El-Sayed: JD Vance called me a little weasel today. No, what you’re talking about is a fucking wolverine.

So now we learn that Trump wants to turn the proposed Washington triumphal arch into a “top grade Military Complex,” with drone storage, snipers on the roof/plaza areas, and sniper-ammunition storage. TRUMP IS INSANE. THE ARCH MUST BE STOPPED.

Alert ⚠️ An ICE officer shot 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in North Austin today after a traffic stop. He was shot in the torso and hospitalized in serious but stable condition. His attorney says Perez, a Venezuelan national, entered the U.S. legally and had a valid work permit.

This is so sad (Aussie looking on)

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 17,180 cases across 48 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,700 measles cases (including 2 recent deaths) — a 35 year high. “Make America Healthy Again.”

🎉 USPS has been ordered to stop implementing Trump’s anti-mail voting executive order. A previous ruling blocked USPS from refusing to deliver mail ballots if voter lists weren't given to the Trump administration, but only applied to select states. This new ruling covers the entire nation.

Jack Smith: James Comey, Letitia James, Jerome Powell. There's not criminality here. I mean, seashells?? The only reasonable explanation is the president has it out for these people. He has people who are his former personal lawyers who are going to do what he says, regardless of the facts or law

BREAKING: In a huge win for voters across the country, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to uphold grace periods for mail ballots. States CAN count ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after Election Day.

Exactly... been wondering that myself all day - as an Aussie, I don't carry a US passport... Still don't reckon I'd be welcome - one look at my social media and I'm on the next plane back lol

Brian Tyler Cohen@briantylercohen.bsky.social

Why would it say "welcome" when passports are for US citizens??

exactly this... haven't seen it talked about much, but have been pondering this myself - "your" elections... why not "our"

In Trump's interview where he throws a big temper tantrum and walks off, notice that he tells the interviewer, "Your elections are crooked." He's talking about US elections. Why didn't he say "our" elections? He repeats what Putin said without correcting the ownership.

OMG - this is... (sorry I have no words...) Aussie here and if you are an American citizen and this doesn't shock you - then... God help you all

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

Comey: Well, they're back. This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago. And this won't be the end of it. But nothing has changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary. So let's go.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files. Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas. You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.
