My brother in law asked me the other day what we were doing for the 4th of July. I said nothing, I'll celebrate it again when we are independent again.

Don’t worry, Donvict. We will always remember and be grateful for what Biden has done. And we most certainly will never forget the complete destruction YOU have done to this country and the horrific impact it has had globally.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

Obviously it's a very bad moment but it is funny that Trump really seems to have thought he would win a Nobel Peace Prize by getting on the phone with a bunch of authoritarian sociopaths and saying "knock it off." Dumbest possible version of the Great Man Theory of History. The sports radio version.

Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it? But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

The President took the United States to war with Iran without the authorization of Congress. He claims the military operations were a success but is now refusing to brief the Congress or explain his actions in a timely manner. Why is there a delay?

He knew the court would order the planes turned around, and told his DoJ lawyers to tell the court to fuck off. This letter has already shown up in the South Sudan DVD case in a motion filed by the Plaintiffs at SCOTUS today.

"The US military strikes on 3 of Iran’s nuclear facilities did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment described by 4 people briefed on it."

It's been 3 years since Dobbs, the decision that allowed states to ban abortion. Women have died, hospitals have shuttered, and millions of Americans now live in areas where they can face jail time for lifesaving medical care. If you are one of those people, you can get help at abortionfunds.org

You know you’ve lost when you pretend to negotiate a ceasefire for a war that you instigated and wanted and then pretend to be angry that no one agrees to your fake ceasefire.

It’s not enough for Stephen Miller to orchestrate Trump’s deportation agenda. Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target and round up immigrants. He’s cashing in on his own cruelty.

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

A NJ teacher served her community for 20+ years. She took time off to raise her children & returned to the same school. Even after buying back her time, her pension was reduced. Bill A1675/S2078 will fix this injustice. @speakercoughlin.bsky.social #EquityForEducators #WomenInEducation

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

The orange convicted felon is a buffoon and all world leaders and dictators know this especially as he conducts his trashy version of diplomacy on social media. We could’ve had the intelligent highly qualified black woman and instead we got a vindictive bullish petty crook.

@lemieuxlgm.bsky.social has a good rundown of Andrew Cuomo's moronitude, and one of the things that people need to understand is that the guy is just fiscally irresponsible. He wastes taxpayer money on stupid crap. Like forcing the MTA to buy blue and white tiles for the East River tunnels.

It’s deeply disturbing that FAA Administrator nominee Bryan Bedford refuses to commit to upholding the 1,500-hour pilot training standard. After the DCA crash and surge in near-misses, now is NOT the time to weaken flight training requirements for pilots. I’ll be voting no.

Alan Turing, one of Britain’s most renowned humanists, was a visionary whose genius helped the Allies win WWII. Yet despite his extraordinary contributions, he was subjected to chemical castration by the British state in 1952. This #PrideMonth, we remember him. He was born #OnThisDay 1912.
