Israel has apparently killed Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar in its latest air strikes.

After an earthquake struck Southern California on Monday morning, security video captured mature elephants at the San Diego Zoo coming together to form an "alert circle" to protect their young.

JUST IN: Judge finds 'probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over Alien Enemies Act deportations

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

I feel like the moment we are in is a moment for all the dark wave music I was listening to in the 1980's and 90's.z youtu.be/wsOHvP1XnRg?...

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

RFK believes that he is one of the genetic elect and that it is a violation of the natural order to either impose on the genetic elect with public health OR prevent nature from taking its course with those who are predestined to biological damnation.

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

Primark operates hundreds of clothing stores in Europe. I went to one of their US stores to see whether their cheap clothes strategy might work here.

Local planners: 7 years and $1.2 million. #Beavers: just vibes and sticks. Nature's engineers get it done. No permits required

This morning in Chicago’s Hyde Park checking out the construction of the Barack Obama Presidential Library

Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.

🎉 Happy Anniversary Murmur! The band’s debut album was released 42 years ago this weekend in 1983… as always, share your favorite track in the comments.

My law firm is currently litigating 49 voting and election cases in 21 states. States with the most cases: AZ, GA, NC, NV, FL, LA, PA. I expect new cases will be filed this week.

Crows in a lab were able to distinguish shapes that exhibited right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry, suggesting that, like humans, they have a special ability to perceive geometric regularity.

Brit is apparently not willing to go along with the New Big Lie being pushed by Hegseth and Fox hosts.

As bad as the Houthi PC Group Chat is, and as bad as the DOGE stories leaking by the minute are...what's happening under the radar is so, so much worse.

Goldberg indicates Hegseth lied when he denied texting war plans

Obviously, Jeffrey Goldberg has the texts that Hegseth claims that he doesn’t have. The Senate or House Armed Services Chairs can easily and quickly verify who is lying about this. If Hegseth blatant lied about this on camera tonight, how in the world can he continue in this job?

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed. That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF. I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

First off, Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and should be fired. Second, instead of being an asshole and trash-talking the journalist, he should be thanking him for not posting anything top-secret that’s still to come.

Any member of the military who did what they did on signal would be kicked out or arrested.

Don’t drink and text.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this? Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

Presidents at War: how battle has shaped American leaders

Must read. Musk has taken control of all of our money!

“Nothing is inevitable. Do not be alone and do not be dismayed. Find someone who is doing something you admire and join them.”

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

This is Rupert Murdoch's Wallstreet Journal… Headline: “The Dumbest Trade War in History”

All of your most sensitive data and our country’s checkbook are in the hands of an unelected billionaire. This is the most corrupt administration in history and it’s putting our economy & government in serious jeopardy. It’s time to speak out and fight back. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

It’s a coup. That’s what’s happening. It doesn’t matter if it’s only been two weeks. Impeachable offenses aren’t like wine. They don’t need to age.

"...a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." FDR 1938

Stay safe everyone! Picking up from a fellow Harris/Walz organizer and SoCal resident: As fires continue to burn in Los Angeles and 10,000s are displaced, here are places you can find information, resources, and ways to help. I've verified each link. Please share and give what you can.

The fate of TikTok now rests in the hands of the US Supreme Court. If a law banning the social video app this month is upheld, it won't disappear from your phone—but it will get messy fast.

Attention, Republicans: Unlawful border crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border have dropped to a four-year low, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. GOP obsessions with immigrants have nothing to do with facts, and everything to do with the most transparent, hideous racism…

I didn't know how much I needed to see a donkey snacking on oranges until now 🖤 🔊 sound up! 🎥 ccihancelik_

I'm so tired of him. I'm tired of people pretending he's not an idiot. I'm tired of immorality and cruelty. I'm tired of his inability to say anything kind or intelligent. I'm tired of his drama and chaos. I'm tired of his face. I'm tired of his voice It's going to be a long 4 years. #USDemocracy

Lawmakers will have a few months of wiggle room thanks to accounting maneuvers to broker a deal before the country would default for the first time in history — which most economists believe would kick-start a global financial crisis. Story by @jennifershutt.bsky.social via @statesnewsroom.com

Interestingly, I have lost 60,000 followers on Twitter since Election Day - presumably, mostly, from people deactivating their accounts and heading over here - but over here on Bluesky I have picked up 400,000 new followers since Election Day.
