I don't understand why US citizens should have to consent to have their electronic devices searched to get back in the country when they already have a legal right to be here

“The DSA will destroy the Democratic Party!” Meanwhile…

Rand Paul doesn't belong in the Senate. He belongs in a Montana cabin writing manifestos on the insides of ripped open Slim Jim boxes.

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%.  In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets.  This is only the beginning.

Noah Kahan to White House: I would never approve of my music being used in support of you or this administration. variety.com/2026/music/n...

🎤 James Talarico has agreed to THREE televised debates. Ken Paxton still hasn’t accepted a single one. If you’re asking Texans to send you to the Senate, you shouldn’t be afraid to stand on a debate stage and answer their questions. What’s the holdup? www.wfaa.com/article/news...

How about lowering gas, grocery, housing, energy, and healthcare prices instead???!!! ICE plans to sign contracts for new detention facilities in Seattle, Philadelphia, Miami and Denver that together would have the capacity to hold 5,500 detainees.

The lone star on the flag is actually a review. More than 6 million Texans experienced hunger in 2024, the most of any state in the nation, according to the latest Feeding America report that tracks food insecurity – and it’s Texas’ third year topping the list. bit.ly/4bCOuFF

“Same Script. Different Actor.” This editorial cartoon uses mirrored imagery from two different eras of American politics to invite viewers to consider how political rhetoric and public accusations can echo across generations.

It’s a Fair Question….. “Why is it that it takes 900 years and 5000 impact studies to build high speed rail but a 5 minute city council meeting is all it takes to approve a massive data center?”

WHOA, IOWA‼️ Josh Turek just landed the biggest endorsement in Democratic politics: Barack Obama. Reminder: Obama was the last Democratic presidential candidate to carry Iowa.

NEW: Seattle politicians are no longer bickering over the kids' lunch money. After a contentious week, the mayor and city council have agreed on a plan to fund both universal free school meals and targeted food assistance, without delay. Via @thestranger.com: www.thestranger.com/news/seattle...

TMZ’s Harvey Levin Calls GOP Attacks On Dr. Fauci ‘Heartbreaking,’ Compares It to McCarthyism

"Starting July 19, 2026, the European Union officially banned large fashion companies from destroying unsold clothes, shoes, and accessories. Instead of sending perfectly good products to landfills or burning them, companies must now donate, recycle, or repurpose them." via No one Cares

Every bit of this. 👇

I’m sure it’s MORE than half !!!!

A mother gave the government her fingerprints, tax records, and DNA to get her 6-year-old daughter back. She did everything officials asked. ICE used that information to find and arrest her. A child welfare system became a deportation tool. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Methinks the appropriate target to blame for the deaths of over a million Americans is not Dr. Fauci.

Oh wow. Glad to see this.

Senator John McCain warned us about Rand Paul when he said, “The senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin.”

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

This was a great discussion with DrAbdul with voters of many various political viewpoint. I loved the deeper dive into his analysis of the existing system & the potential for real change for the peopl. youtu.be/D6ag12rrs-s?...

If Rand Paul wants transparency, he should release the rest of the Epstein files instead of trying to reignite COVID-era culture wars by release Dr. Fauci’s diary entries.

MAKE AMERICA TRUMPLESS AGAIN

Whoever kept yelling “pedophile protector!” at Trump during his speech in Michigan today… I hope you hit every green light on the way home.

🚨 URGENT! 🚨 Republicans tucked a rider into the defense bill (NDAA) that lets the Pentagon seize CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS — to help out an oil company! It already passed the House. The Senate hasn't taken it up yet — which means there's still time to stop it - see first comment!

Hey, White people: This 13-year old child, who is Corey Ruiz’s daughter, shouldn’t have to be this brave. WE should. And we must.

Trump and Musk claim to be slashing wasteful and frivolous spending. Apparently they see taking care of our veterans as wasteful, so they would rather abandon them. youtu.be/dNkPuZ0gRdI?...

It’s now been more than 6 months since Alex Pretti was killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, and we still don’t have answers. We will never forget his story or stop fighting for accountability on his behalf.

Let’s Go MI Progressive Democrats and get this person in the Senate where the nation needs him!

Truly awful that this loathsome individual was re elected to the presidency as a felon, and is now an adjudicated rapist who has finally paid his court ordered penalty for defaming the woman he raped. How much lower can we fall?

An American president being found liable for sexual assault is a national disgrace. It’s a stain on the country that will never wash out.

The bad news is… ICE Will Murder Again. The Good News Is… There’s No Statute of Limitations on Murder. THEY WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!

The punks were always right but you can't discount the soul and funk of the 60's and 70's. It wasn't all dance and love songs. Maybe listen to Marvin Gaye for starters but also find the black artists that didn't make it to radio. THEY spoke the truth.

Some people never will.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to force Virginia to provide the DOJ with access to its complete statewide voter registration database. Another victory for Elias Law Group and its clients. DOJ is now 0-14 in these cases. www.democracydocket.com/cases/virgin...

Ossoff: If you’re CIA director John Ratcliffe, and you see what's about to happen, this is the last chance to jump ship and speak out, because you will be forever tainted by your association with these kinds of shenanigans.
