“For every two longshore members that walked into the hiring hall, one went home without work,” said Seroka”

There are no words for this kind of grief. A Ukrainian couple watches the ruins of their home in Kyiv — destroyed by a russian drone. Somewhere beneath the rubble lies their son. Don't close your eyes! Don't shut your hearts!

First time I've seen a tax cut so poorly designed that the dynamic score RAISES the cost by $356 billion. The infinitesimal growth revenues are dwarfed by the rising inflation and $441 billion in interest costs from higher interest rates.

Sounds like the military got some “marching orders” and “talked shop” amongst themselves on implementation. Time for the “Pizza Delivery Watch” at the Pentagon.

Yeah you’ve got hochul uploading an official nygov social video calling lander’s arrest, and I’m quoting here, “bullshit.” They think the feds have overreached and are vulnerable.

Also, most constituents probably don’t want their national parks and reserves raped and pillaged by strip mining and deforestation.

Me: On the one hand: “Oh shit, here we go.” On the other: “Saddam Hussein promised ‘The Mother of all wars’ and all we got was a thrilling joyride into downtown Baghdad’”.

🇵🇱 Poland has been detecting global satellite navigation system (GPS) signal interruptions over the Baltic Sea and attributes this to Russia’s actions. 👉🏻 Find out more: militarnyi.com/en/news/pola...

But it’s a great way to distract the populace from your own failures.

Russians purely targeting crowded residential buildings in Kyiv this morning. This occurs as G7 world leaders meet in Canada.

💔These parents waited all day, hoping against hope. Their son's body was found in the rubble. He didn't survive. My heart breaks for these mom and dad. Russia killed their child. Deepest condolences.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

Been there, seen that.

Lee would probably be in the running no matter what country he was in.

Hey look! Two national leaders acting like mature, responsible adults! Sure wish Americans could cough up someone like that.

We know who is spoon feeding pablum too.

“Rather than continuing to hedge and hope, Europe needs to pay more attention to the administration’s actions versus its rhetoric, and plan for a future with sharply reduced U.S. military support.”

Is there a parent who has not seen this? Got through this phase only to watch a teenager short out an outlet by pulling on a cord at a sharp angle so they could sit more comfortably with a laptop on their bed to play video games. I guess they thought it was going to stretch or something?🤷‍♂️

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

“Defend our freedom” Same nonsensical reason they gave for invading Iraq.

Okey Dokey there Smokey.

I’ll bet neither Gabbard nor Trump have any hard info to back their respective assertions. Gabbard has always just parroted the Kremlin line on everything, and Trump is just believing whatever Netanyahu tell him.

Another local No Kings protest violent incident I haven't seen get national attention yet: In Burnsville, NC, a Trump supporter drove around with a fake machine gun and then witnesses say he jumped out and pushed a 73-year-old man to the ground whose head cracked open. wlos.com/news/local/i...

Telling Trump from Jerusalem that he is the equivalent of 1945 Harry Truman, while Israel and Iran are bombing the hell out of each other is not only batshit crazy, but almost criminally irresponsible. What next, some scripture quotes for suggested targeting?

It’s almost like the enemies of the US installed a puppet government to destroy the US.

In the latest sign of Trump’s complete subservience to Putin, the Trump administration shelved in recent weeks an inter-agency working group it had set up to formulate strategies for pressuring Russia into speeding up peace talks with Ukraine.

EXCLUSIVE/BREAKING Gregory Sanabria Tarazona, a Venezuelan activist tortured inside Nicolás Maduro's notorious El Heliocoide prison, is seeking asylum in the U.S. Weeks before his initial hearing, he was making a routine check-in when ICE detained him @schmidtsam.bsky.social reports wapo.st/3HE9dwu

Tennessee Nazi that threatened No Kings protest had gun with designs mimicking Christchurch mass murderer’s gun AND his hat had patch referencing Curtis Yarvin’s “dark enlightenment” theory, which calls for an end to democracy www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

🙏🇺🇦In Odesa, the death toll after the Russian strike has increased to two people, — OVA ❗️The body of a 78-year-old woman has just been found under the rubble. A total of 26 people sought medical help. The aftermath of the enemy attack continues to be eliminated on the ground.

The #Israeli military has announced the killing of #Iran’s newly appointed Chief of Staff, Ali Shadmani, three days after his appointment by Khamenei following the assassination of Major General Gholam Ali Rashid four days earlier.

The Dallas Express, which sued me (and lost) for calling it right wing propaganda, published an article suggesting in the form of a question that the assassination of Democratic elected officials in Minnesota could be "Democrats kill[ing] their own so they could turn around and blame Republicans?"

For reference, Tel Aviv is 7 hours ahead of EDT, so this would have been around 10am in Tel Aviv.

This is from 5 hours ago in Tel Aviv. Ballistic missiles impact in a residential area. twitter.com/VireoAnalysi...

💔 5 more bodies recovered from the rubble of a high-rise building in Kyiv, the death toll has risen to 20 people. And cat from Odesa 🐈🙏

Kyiv this morning, at least 14 killed

The moment when the Russian drone directly hit a residential building in Kyiv appeared online. Russians continue to fight against civilians.

Toomaj, the famous Iranian rapper and freedom fighter who has been one of the biggest targets of the Islamic regime, has posted this statement. Toomaj has been out of prison for the past few years and has sacrificed a great deal fighting for freedom.

Iranian Army Commander Kioumars Heydari: “A new wave of powerful attacks with advanced weapons has begun and will intensify in the coming hours.”

Seems @senmikelee.bsky.social didn’t want to talk about his ugly tweets blaming Dems for the shooting of Dems in Minnesota

🚨 Iran: Hundreds of political prisoners of the brutal Islamist regime appear to have been set free in Tehran. Countdown to the overthrow of the dictatorship begins.

“I’ve seen toddlers, teenagers, adults and the elderly alike. Profusely bleeding mothers were rushing in with their children injured by shrapnel,” the doctor said
