With respect to this top staffer and their grief, I think this is a mistake. For Mike Lee and the sort of people who would work for him, it’s great news that they caused more pain to Democrats. They have no decency to which one could appeal. They will consume this with laughter, not regret.

Trump Calls Shooting Victims To Rant About Tim Walz

The logic of the Big Beautiful Bill is to crane as many indefensible policies as possible because Republicans will always vote for a tax cut.

NEW: A data broker owned by major airlines sold domestic US flight data to DHS, telling the dept. not to disclose that, according to records obtained by @404media.co—copublished in partnership with @wired.com. No paywall bc FOIA @josephcox.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/airlin...

So Trump's leaving early from G7 ostensibly to attend to Israel-Iran war that Israel launched against his wishes. Then he refused to sign G7 statement on the war demonstrating he's odd man out wherever he goes. Then he pushed for Putin membership in G7 and got snubbed. So now going home in a snit.

It’s now 100% clear that NASA will follow through with drastic workforce cuts. Half of GSFC civil servants employees will be out of a job. Same with our much larger contractor workforce

Every Senator should and it shouldn’t even be a question

BREAKING: Vance Boelter, the suspect accused of killing a Minnesota state representative and attempting to kill another, is in custody, according to the Associated Press

Trump declares war on cities “We must expand efforts to detain & deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as LA, Chicago, & NY, where Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, & other Cities, are core of the Dem Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base”

My fed agency helped build an IRS login system that didn't rely on face recognition, we felt it was invasive. For this were attacked by The Daily Wire as "a cabal of perpetually triggered leftists obsessed with politics and pronouns" Per Musk's tweets, this is part of the reason he fired us all.

Sometimes a gunman kills you sometimes it’s a “hero with a gun” trying to shoot the gunman

If you go to protests, please look into ANSI Z87.1 or MIL-PRF-32432A rated ballistic eye protection. Another thing you might see is APEL which is the Army's Authorized Protective Eyewear List which is tested and validated against the Army's requirements for ballistic fragmentation protection.

It is firmly in the “somebody’s making an active decision to downplay this” territory.

It’s almost impressive how AI absolutely falls on its face with baseball statistics, some of the most detailed and easily accessible information in the history of the entire internet.

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

via @douglandry.bsky.social "I just got back from the Trump parade and I have to say it was legitimately the worst executed mass attendance event I’ve ever seen One overarching thought: how do you spend $80 million and fumble the basics? Many more thoughts..." 🧵 🧵 🧵

At yesterday's protests in Atlanta, police arrested the respected journalist Mario Guevara—clearly ID'd as press and, crucially, known for tirelessly documenting ICE abuses—for livestreaming their crackdown. He was booked on charges of "obstruction" and "pedestrian walking on or along" a roadway.

Just an appreciation post for Jacob being on the scene. In the absence of this reporting it would have been he-said/she-said. The sheriffs attacked peaceful protestors including kids with flashbangs, tear gas, and rubber bullets. We need more peaceful protest and more documentation on the ground.

scholar of partisan violence/Latin American Dirty Wars here: there is nothing to distinguish this from how people were taken in Argentina, Guatemala, Chile, etc, except that it's all on camera

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Two nights ago on the phone I told my dad "what if these stupid motherfuckers are dumb enough to play 'Fortunate Son' on Saturday?"

This reminds me of nothing so much as the time that a few dozen neo-Nazis held an embarrassingly tiny rally in DC, thousands of counter-protesters showed up, and I started a chant of “where are your friends? Where are your friends?”

This is so pathetically obsequious and misleading that I wish I could cancel my subscription again

LAPD and LA Sheriffs tried to prevent two large protests from joining together in downtown and both departments ended up hitting EACH OTHER with impact munitions from across the same interesection.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

BREAKING: US Marines deployed to Los Angeles have carried out the first known detention of a civilian, the US military confirms. It was confirmed to Reuters after they shared this image with the US military.

The most un American people

The U.S. Capitol Police are so scared of 80+ year old veterans who need to use walkers that they're cuffing hands behind backs

Las Vegas police immediately arrest two livestreamers when one of them insults an officer after an anti-ICE protest ("honor your oath, bitch"). "You need to learn there's rules: don't run your mouth at me."

Exxon Mobil is the largest private oil company in the world and it produces less than 4% of the world’s oil. It is quite hard for me to remember that most of the world’s oil is drilled, not by companies, but by countries.

This guy threatens to kill civilians he is sworn to protect over stuff made up in the heads of far-right fantasists.

Time to dust this bad boy off again

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

California national guard troops and marines deployed to LA to help restore order have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they don't want to join. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Still 25% less than the usual number of awardees, from what I understand, but great news nevertheless. 🧪

Saildrone vessels were being used by federal scientists to improve forecast and warning accuracy. But they won't be in forecasters' suite of tools this year. The company "was unable to bid" on a contract for this season, NOAA spokesperson Keeley Belva told CNN.

Thank you also to our amazing team and all the staff at the @wgaeast.bsky.social who have all worked so hard for us this bargaining season, and who support us in countless ways! And thank you to all the other shops who stood with us these last few weeks! Solidarity is how we win! ✊🌺 #unionstrong

I have a lot of issues with Gavin Newsom but he is calling out Trump in a way other major leaders aren’t and if he causes Trump to have a stroke I will buy him a latte

There it is. The first ever Heat Advisory issued in Alaska. This is the first year it has been an option. @alaskawx.bsky.social
