Agencies are being told to start identifying grants the administration can withhold from California. On Capitol Hill, at least 1 committee was told recently by a whistleblower that all research grants to the state were going to be cancelled, according to one of the sources familiar with the matter.

The court’s three liberals — Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson — dissented. Jackson said the court was “creating grave privacy risks for millions of Americans in the process.”

Sure, after Ashli Babbitt’s family was awarded our taxpayer dollars, the Proud Boys want in on the grift. Fuck no! 🤬 Five Proud Boys leaders, including Philly resident Zach Rehl, want the government to pay them $100 million in restitution for Jan. 6 convictions www.inquirer.com/politics/pro...

Right now, Muslims in Gaza are supposed to be celebrating Eid al-Adha. Instead of feasting, they are starving. Instead of gathering with their loved ones, they are burying their children. Netanyahu and the IDF can end this misery ANY time by agreeing to a ceasefire and allowing aid into Gaza.

Between fascism and climate change, the latter is definitely a greater threat to humanity. Fascists are liars, and they will always lose (but it might take a while). The problem with the fascist regime in the US is that it's actively undermining climate action, thereby exacerbating climate damage.

Cynthia Nixon: "I’m choosing to remember the Jessica Ramos who ran to break up the IDC, supported the women who were sexually harassed, remembered the people Cuomo sent to die in nursing homes & always called out Cuomo’s corruption, mismanagement & lies. I’ll miss that Ramos, where did she go?"

Chief of Nashville, criminal division resigns over decision to charge Abrego Garcia. That’s a big story and the details will likely be very damning for the administration.

Dear journalists. When the US President is openly accused of paedophilia the story is either impeachment or defamation. If not, the story is how words have lost all meaning, truth has lost all value, and journalists are now completely desensitised to lying and corruption.

Something else in common…the descendants are still told they don’t belong. We should be united ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

Wagner PMC has announced that it has completed its "main mission" in Mali and is leaving the country. The statement was published by a Telegram channel close to the mercenaries, called “Wagner’s Unloading.”

DEAN: Did your department have any worry about the president growing his own business while on the job? LUTNICK: My trip to the Middle East was extraordinary. It was amazing. DEAN: I'm sure. I'm asking you, did the question of conflict of interest come up? LUTNICK: No DEAN: It is grotesque

MERZ: Tomorrow is the D Day anniversary, when the Americans ended a war in Europe TRUMP: That was not a pleasant day for you? This is not a great day MERZ: This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship
