If you watch one thing tonight, let it be this. This is delicious.

Your now-regular reminder that no tax cut has ever paid for itself. Ever

Trump is back to selling scams—this time, it's a $499 phone. He’s doing what he does best: turning the presidency into a business deal. Republicans spent years investigating the Bidens despite no evidence of corruption or pay to play. (1/2)

There’s something building in this country  Trump tried to test #nokings protestors, but he’s the only one who walked away with egg (or rather, birthday cake) on his face ‪🎥 @jimacosta.bsky.social‬

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

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.

Scientists believe dogs may be entering a new phase of evolution as they adapt more closely to human life. Some dogs now show advanced social intelligence—better at reading human emotions and communicating than even some primates.

👍🏻“The NAACP will not invite Trump to its national convention this year — the first time in the civil rights organization’s 116-year history that it has excluded a sitting president — citing his attempts to undermine American democracy.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Reminder: Netanyahu's LIES helped lead the US into the Iraq war. Here he is testifying before Congress in 2002 saying Saddam Hussein is building nuclear weapons. www.vox.com/2015/2/26/81...

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm. Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

Well, that didn't last long. DHS told staff it was reversing guidance issued last week that agents were not to conduct immigration raids at farms, hotels and restaurants. Shadow President Stephen Miller wins again. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

ICE throws gas at protesters who immediately cone it then use boards to help fan the gas back at ICE.

I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

The Senate Majority leader is lying

Trump quietly shutters the only federal agency that investigates industrial chemical explosions

This is not a president of the United States. This is a hateful demagogue and pathological liar who is exploiting the office to sow division and dismantle our democratic system.

We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info. The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧵

Exactly. Brace for worse to come.

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

After yesterday’s massive turnout at No Kings rallies, let’s remember to bring that same energy to the midterms. Please and thank you?

For Dems to even consider a comeback for Cuomo after his serial predation of women, is for Dems to also say that EVERYTHING they claim to believe about equality and women’s rights to be safe in the workplace was bullshit. Do they even get the level of hypocrisy?

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points: This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle. It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.

I’m 39. 3 years ago I left academia. My biggest regret? Not building a network outside it. I thought great science would be enough. It wasn’t. Visibility builds trust Visibility opens doors — especially when you leave the lab. Start showing up. Share your Science. Start now. 🧪 #SciComm

LEFT: The fake picture of the Department of Defense just posted. RIGHT: The reality. So now the military is not just arresting us on street corners illegally but spreading disinformation. And it's only Monday.

We need to investigate the shit out of the election results

A teacher uses AI to inspire her students to visualize what they would look if their dreams came true. Yes, this made me tear up. It makes me happy cry watching precious moments like this.

A grifter is a con artist: someone who swindles people out of money through fraud. If there's one type of person you don't want to trust, it's a grifter: someone who cheats others out of money. Trump Organization launches $499 phone, new Trump Mobile cell service www.usatoday.com/story/money/...
