Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.

Video: Susan Collins on her Brett Kavanaugh vote (that led to Roe v. Wade being overturned): "Thank you. It's something that still comes up. He's qualified. And I don't, as I've said, I don't regret that vote." #mesen #mepolitics

The guy ran on a promise to destroy the Biden economy. Promises made, promises kept.

AOC on how Democrats should respond to SCOTUS weakening VRA: “And so if Republicans are going to redraw North Carolina, if they're going to redraw Texas, if they're going to redraw and gerrymander every one of their states, then unfortunately, we have to provide balance to that”

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business. WE Pay for

This was so incredibly helpful in the wake of all of the misinformation bouncing around today.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

NEW: Democrat Jim Himes is quietly courting his own caucus to protect Kash Patel's power to access Americans' communications without a warrant, because, he says, things at the FBI seems totally fine! My latest for @wired.com

Huh. So it's unclear who's funding this campaign to pay influencers to attack Kat Abughazaleh. But the guy coordinating also has a company called Advocators AI, which just won an award for work for…Daniel Biss — her opponent. One of the campaigns the company boasts about promotes trips to Israel.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

the people who want you to believe that generative AI can paint like Picasso tend to gloss over the fact that Picasso didn’t have hundreds of Picassos to learn from. He had to make something new, which a model trained on old art is definitionally incapable of doing.

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

Minnesota is the blueprint. Keep the pressure on Nationally.

The Minnesota civil resistance campaign has been remarkably successful: - The GOP governor candidate dropped out - Numerous DOJ officials resigned - GOP members of Congress are speaking out; business feels pressure - Noem has been relieved of operational responsibility The campaign is winning.

The Nazi SA - Sturmabteilung, or Storm Troopers - were often recruited from the dregs of society: barely literate failures incapable of holding down a job and only fit for murder and terror. The scum of Germany. Hitler gave them free rein to vent their rage on their betters. Sound familiar, America?

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

We’ve got a new show tonight at 11pm on HBO Max/11:10 on HBO! 10 mins late on HBO cause we’re airing after “The Yogurt Shop Murders” and we wanted to give you processing time in case it’s more about murder than it is about yogurt. Seems impossible. Yogurt is way better than murder. But just in case.
