The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to lift a lower court order blocking its plan to dismantle the Education Department and begin firing its employees.

They were always lying when they said they couldn’t bring them back. If they can bring back Kilmar, they can bring back Andry. No more lies, no more stalling. #FreeAndry #BringThemBack

Due process is happening!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Octopuses are smart, sentient creatures that have no business cooped up on commercial farms. I’m glad to reintroduce the OCTOPUS Act with Senator Lisa Murkowski, a bipartisan bill to ban this practice and keep octopus wild in our oceans 🐙

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration has seen its staff cut by more than a third, and it's facing deep budget cuts. Progress on overdose deaths could be lost, experts warn.

Police actions worsened medical crisis that led to black man’s death, inquest finds

A former D.C. police lieutenant convicted of leaking information about a police investigation to the leader of the Proud Boys group on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, was sentenced Friday to 18 months behind bars.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

High court tells UK lawyers to stop using AI after fake case-law citations

That’s right. You shouldn’t have.

Reminded of this magnet I once saw at the Alcatraz gift shop.

Right now, Trump’s Tax Scam is being rewritten by Senate Republicans before heading back to the House for a second vote. Every change to the bill (and every day they take) makes it that much harder to pass both chambers. This is why we’re focused on delaying the GOP’s process as much as possible.

On Thursday, Portland City Council approved a settlement for more than 20 people whose homes and businesses were destroyed in the name of urban renewal from the 1950s through the ’70s.

Drought poses health risks, including reduced access to clean water supplies, which could lead to an increase in waterborne diseases and parasites. Ignoring climate science for political gain does not change facts.

The "My Pillow" guy is facing yet another legal action related to his election lies. Former State Attorney @davearonberg.bsky.social AKA the Florida LawMan, discusses the latest defamation action against Mike Lindell, and why he is getting exactly what he deserves:

“Her lawyer’s in the bathroom.” Trump’s masked ICE Gestapo snatches a woman when her lawyer goes to the bathroom, then forcibly carries her into an elevator after she appears to faint.

Ken Harbaugh returns from Ukraine with a final report on Putin’s brutal retaliation following Ukraine’s successful drone strike on Russia’s bomber fleet. Watch the full video here: youtu.be/1VuTnE2jjk8 Follow The Ken Harbaugh Show here: linktr.ee/thekenharbau...

Chicago fighting back against ICE. You love to see it 💪

NEW: Reporting from @thecity.nyc shows how ICE's outrageous new operation to re-arrest people attending check-ins as part of compliance with their release is undermining the rule of law. One woman whose daughter-in-law was re-arrested says she's now too afraid to attend her court hearing.

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

these fucking ghouls

Amazing. Respect the lede.

Well, well, well. Looks like we found out why #DougCollins has been refusing to give Congress the names of the contracts the #VA has cancelled to date. 👀 www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Update: my friend was quoted by @thecity.nyc as he waited to find out what happened. It's two days later and he has no idea where his client is. She was detained on Wednesday morning at a check-in. She's not in the ICE Detainee Locator, and when he's called ICE they refuse to tell him where she is.

VARNEY: 8,000 manufacturing jobs were lost in May. That's not what you wanted to see. CHAVEZ-DeREMER: Well, we're certainly holding steady. VARNEY: But how could we're losing those jobs? CHAVEZ-DeREMER: Well, we're certainly holding steady.

If you're wondering what the tech bros are planning for the world, you might want to check out my conversation with @gilduran.com of The Nerd Reich today at 5:00 on my YouTube channel and Facebook. Gil has been studying their ideology for years now, and can walk us through it.

As usual, the cruelty is the point. Missouri has lived under the boot of a GOP supermajority for 22 years and they have consistently defunded schools. And now they are planning to close schools for the severely disabled.

As I just said on CNN, I’m not going to take any money from Elon Musk, a man who did a Hitler salute. It’s astounding that some Democrats won’t say the same. secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-bluesky?refcode=cnn

As Trump and Musk attack each other, don't forget: their ongoing DOGE cuts have made your life worse. It doesn't matter who wins the Trump-Musk feud. Thanks to them, millions of Americans have already lost crucial public services. youtu.be/M5LD2CSOzmI?...

Musk cannot be “turned”, “flipped”, “allied” with. He is a Nazi and he’s killed 300,000 people, mostly children. Anyone considering taking his political contributions or discussing allying with him has no moral compass nor should they be near power.

Fucking finally! The EBE pause finally made the news!!!!! And yes it is definitely impacting our staff at SSA as far as your wait time goes.

81 years ago today, more than 160,000 Allied troops made their way ashore on the beaches of Normandy, France. Operation OVERLORD (also known as D-Day) would serve as one of the major turning points of WWII in favor of the Allies. www.neh.gov/article/ligh...

This entire administration lacks empathy and compassion and definitely has no shame as they posture with pride at the devastation they are causing.

mike johnson genuinely in the running for worst reactionary to come out of louisiana (his competition includes david duke)

Why are Trump and certain tech billionaires trying to build new dystopian cities and democracy-free "zones"? It reflects a scary tech idea called "The Network State." For @techpolicypress.bsky.social, I wrote about why you should be deeply concerned 👇 www.techpolicy.press/trumps-gaza-...

remember, this guy ran illegal medical experiments on autistic children using castration drugs and lost his medical license because of it

Your bill is going to cut coverage for 11 million Americans and it’ll still cost more than universal healthcare. Healthcare is a human right, you absolute ghouls.

Wow

To everyone making hard choices with integrity—even if it means stepping away: You’re seen, you’re supported, and you’re a BIG DILL. 💚🥒 We need each other. Hold the line. Stay human. (Emotional support pickle optional, but encouraged.)

And this is why having American aviation communications rely on Starlink was always a terrifying idea

The Florida Bar has filed misconduct charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi. She has been in violation of multiple ethics rules since being sworn in. amp.miamiherald.com/news/politic...
