They’re cutting funding for Big Bird and Elmo—who millions of kids watch for free every week—while paying people in crypto to sit through a multimillion-dollar parade no one asked for. But somehow that’s not considered waste. washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/tlg/d/wa...

In honor of Brian Wilson's passing, here are the four categories of Beach Boys songs: 1. surfing is great, you should try it 2. I have a good vehicle 3. I reach beyond myself into the ineffable, and that's where I find you, my love 4. sloop john b

Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground. Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

You do not have to say “pro vaccine groups.” You can say the vast majority of doctors and scientists and the American Medical Association.

RIP to the best who ever did it youtu.be/216YJKbber8?...

This is it. This is the ball game. DoD does not have a role in enforcing the law.

Reporter to Leavitt: "I'm struck that the president has not at any point said 'the most important thing is to protect the 1st Amendment rights of peaceful protesters' ... why is he not out saying, 'all peaceful protesters will be protected?'"

This...is...not...honest. This pic is from five years ago and not even in Los Angeles. Immoral opportunists like James Woods and Ted Cruz trade on lies to promote other lies.

Los Angeles is not a war zone. The media keeps cropping the same damn photo to make it look like it is. There are plenty of live feeds going on right now that verify what is actually happening on the ground in real time. Nothing. The only unrest is coming from Trump & his thugs.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Trump is trying to manufacture a crisis in LA County — deploying troops not for order, but to create chaos. Don’t take the bait. Never use violence or harm law enforcement.

“On that topic of process, big percentages of Americans continue to say it is not acceptable if legal residents are mistakenly deported as part of the program.” www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/dep... ….. mistakenly?

you would think the national guard being on the brink of deployment would justify a national breaking news segment and yet

I hope it leads to record voter turnout among people who care about liberal democracy, but I was counting on that in 2024, too.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

WATCH: “It's totally unconscionable,” says Sen. Bernie Sanders on the GOP bill that would kick 11 million Americans off health care. “And to do that in order to give massive tax breaks to people today on the top—who have never ever had it so good—is beyond cruel.”

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

President Trump has granted clemency to 16 corrupt politicians, covering a total of 125 counts of corruption-related crimes and $7.4 million of ill-gotten gains or misused funds. His DOJ has also dropped charges into two others. This is unacceptable.

This is really bad.

again, this staggering idiot — this living monument to gross stupidity — is basically the intellectual guru of the sitting vice president

South Park residents of San Diego, California, confront Trump’s ICE agents after they stormed a local Italian restaurant to detain staff. This is how fascism is resisted. Courageous citizens standing their ground against regime thugs sent to intimidate them. More of this, America!

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @repbeatty.bsky.social breaks down Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill — a nightmare ripping food and care from millions. House Republicans pushed it through while you were sleeping because they don’t want you to know what’s in it.

Arresting kids on their way to volleyball practice is a new low, even for this Administration. www.wcvb.com/article/milf...

So Bessent is saying it’s OK to give whopping tax cuts to rich people like him and that this won’t increase the deficit because the tariffs they’re imposing-aka a tax on consumers-will make up the difference. Populism for the rich! Good job, Trump voters.

The focus groups appear to have consisted of hard-core Trump supporters, so the results are not surprising since that sector of the electorate is a cult of personality. Cult members are loyal to the cult leader isn’t really a story. Pieces like this unwittingly serve as demoralization propaganda.

#ICYMI: The Air Force revealed earlier this year that a general who oversaw its lobbying before Congress had inappropriate relationships with five women. Sources say one of the women whose relationship with him was scrutinized was Sen. Joni Ernst. (Published March 2025)

Remember when “death panels” was a Republican talking point against expanding health insurance coverage with Obamacare? Now, cutting coverage and actually sending people to their death is a policy position of the Republican Party.

You up, Jake Tapper?

SCOOP: ICE, HSI, and DHS are getting side-door access to the nationwide system of Flock license plate cameras by asking local police to perform lookups for them, new public records show. ICE does *not* have a contract to use this surveillance tool itself. www.404media.co/ice-taps-int...

This is sick and twisted. A NYC student who followed all legal requirements, arrested because of ICE trickery and a lack of legal representation. www.chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025...

Cliff is doing a great job of highlighting Trump's obvious dementia. It's amazing to me that the press is ignoring it after what they did with Biden.

This double-dealing practice is a heinous affront to due process. www.chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025...
