Jim Justice inherited a coal mining operation with 94 companies from his daddy

Just spotted at the CVS in Encino. Told the manager what they’re doing. These people are EVERYWHERE.

A little gular fluttering and then typical statue mode as Ravi waits for me to get snacks out. I’m hurrying, buddy! 🪶

LONDON (AP) - UK Parliament votes to decriminalize abortion over concerns about prosecutions of some women in England and Wales.

Probably a good day to kick some money toward the local nyc media all over this story. Especially @thecity.nyc.

Great piece on Warren at Smithsonian mag today. Total badass. Dude was a real one for sure

MPs vote to decriminalise abortion in historic vote

four of Brad Lander's political opponents praising him and speaking out in his defense shows that not only does this crew understand the stakes but also the incentive structure created for candidates by ranked choice voting is dope

We might wanna do that No Kings march again today possibly tomorrow as well

With Trump essentially threatening military occupation in every major blue city, Democratic mayors, governors, legislators and councilmembers need a mutual defensive pact. publiccomment.blog/p/blue-citie...

I wrote this four days ago. Today, they arrested the NYC Comptroller.

The Ninth Circuit arguments in the California National Guard case over whether to stay Judge Breyer's TRO pending appeal have begun. The Ninth Circuit previously issued an admin stay, but this is an argument over the longer stay pending appeal request. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/federal-ju...

"Potential changes included eliminating long-term housing assistance for disaster survivors, halting enrollments in the National Flood Insurance Program and providing smaller amounts of aid for fewer incidents..."

A week after 75 Dems vote for a resolution expressing gratitude toward ICE in a resolution that pretended to be about antisemitism, ICE goons arrest the Jewish comptroller of NYC without cause.

This is just stephen miller trying to unilaterally reinstall the 1920s immigration restrictions Hitler thought were awesome bsky.app/profile/ewon...

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check? Can you also ask if “Sergio Gor” is the name on his birth certificate. Seems kinda important.

so like i know brad lander is a candidate for mayor but maybe the headlines should focus on the fact they arrested the guy CURRENTLY IN CHARGE OF NEW YORK CITY’S FINANCES

a story with the lede about zohran being the legislator with excellent constituent services who responded and ultimately delivered to neighbors upset about a dangerous intersection? *crush intensifies* www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I'm joining my colleagues in demanding that Trump immediately withdraw military forces from Los Angeles. His decision to deploy the National Guard and U.S. Marines without Governor Newsom's consent is an abuse of power that has only escalated tensions and wasted taxpayer dollars.

State Sen. Zellnor Myrie, a mayoral contender, calls the arrest of NYC Comptroller and opponent Brad Lander "an incredibly dangerous escalation by the Trump administration." He says he's headed to Federal Plaza, the site of the arrest, soon

China sends mystery transport planes into Iran Flight plans indicated a final destination of Luxembourg, but the aircraft appeared to have never flown near European skies www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

FITCH: “.. A slowdown in consumer spending is expected over the remainder of 2025 as the effects of consumer spending front-loading fade and elevated prices begin to strain household budgets ..” @livesquawknews.bsky.social www.fitchratings.com/research/ins...

Not ideal to have a cusp-of-war situation being live-tweeted by a feckless pudding-brained president.

ICE is laying the groundwork for charging Brad Lander with serious federal crimes.

Tomorrow's NYT front page is going to look like one of those satire ones from 2016 predicting the horrors of a Trump administration

An active duty service member has been sent to a mental health facility against his will after speaking out about ICE’s legal and humanitarian abuses. TikTokers took action, including writing @governor.ca.gov /

I wrote about the No Kings protest in downtown L.A. and the people who took it upon themselves to give out free water, snacks and sunscreen to strangers.

staffers described Trump as “deeply impulsive, but impulsive without checks and balances around him.”

A reporter from The City had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, “Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?” www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/17/b...

Even though no party has won three straight #NMGov elections since 1982, Republicans sound very unenthused about next year's open-seat race. From today's newsletter: www.the-downballot.com/p/morning-di...

More and more Presidential every fucking day

I am sooooo curious about the creation of this list. Malawi is included but Mali isn't? CAR is in? Is it an AI-generated list of countries in Africa? Or places where someone has investments?

There is such a deep and profound sickness among the liberal media elite such as Ezra Klein who turn their annoyance about people on Twitter into an entire worldview for why liberalism failed. Sarah McBride plays right into that and endorses it.

NEW statement from NYC Councilwoman Shahana Hanif (@shahanafrombk.bsky.social) on Brad Lander's arrest:

how can an overwhelming D state and city not pass and enforce laws preventing masked thugs from kidnapping people on the 'trust me bro' promise? maybe the abundance guys can tell them how to do it

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody. We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza. Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

"A reporter from @thecity.nyc had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, 'Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?'"

There are some very good individuals running for mayor of New York at the moment, and I hope one of them ends up mayor

That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.” /1

Lander and Padilla have set the standard that absolutely every Democratic politician should meet or exceed if they don't want to get primaried.

Wonder if there will be some sort of unified response from Democrats to address the minor issue that elected members of their party keep getting arrested, shot, and assassinated.
