By threatening Fed Chief Powell, Trump’s Fannie and Freddie regulators is likely making it less likely that the Fed will reduce rates. 🤡🤡🤡 “Fannie, Freddie oversight chief to Powell: Cut rates or resign”

ICE denied U.S. Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) entry into it’s facility in Chicago.

Lmao mf @padilla.senate.gov voted for this. While he was getting tackled to the ground he could be heard yelling "make sure I can vote for crypto tomorrow you tyrants"

Ezra Klein: the reason leftists never get anything done is bc they try to tackle many problems at the same time. “Everything bagel” liberalism blocks housing for all! Also Ezra Klein: Look at Brad Lander get so much housing built by tackling many problems at the same time!

FINALLY Democrats are putting out HARD-HITTING ads. WATCH AND SHARE: #MAGAKidnappers

Really can’t be overstated how damning this result is of @levarstoney.bsky.social’s corporate-friendly, transparently transactional McAuliffe insider politics. After eight years of his dismal leadership in Richmond, the voters that knew him best decisively rejected his bid for higher office.

I was told to change language in a grant proposal to avoid the term "racial segregation" and add in a clause stating that it ("neighborhood disadvantage" was suggested) is "harmful for white people, too." Mind you, the (non-federal) funder is not demanding these changes.

New poll result: “Do you think the US military should get involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran?” Yes — 16% No — 60%

fact check.

These 18 Democrats just voted for the Senate's corrupt crypto industry bill that greenlights Trump's corruption: Alsobrooks Booker Cortez Masto Fetterman Gallego Gillibrand Hassan Heinrich Hickenlooper Kim Lujan Ossoff Padilla Rosen Schiff Slotkin Warner Warnock

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

She dreamed of seeing Coldplay live. She loved trying new foods and was learning Italian. She wrote poetry. She was so proud of summiting Iran’s highest peak that she mentioned it to everyone she met. She was 23 when she was killed with her family @yjtorbati.bsky.social has more wapo.st/4n3Gdyf

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Gene Sperling is on the money here www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... It is very bad news for our economy if businesses think they can't trust our government because it is led by a clown who can do anything he wants whenever he wants.

They learned from Andre Dickens how to ignore overwhelming citizen input and build cop city anyways

Two Illinois congressmen Tuesday were turned away from a South Loop facility run by federal immigration agents where the congressmen said residents have been summoned via “scammy” texts only to be detained by authorities. to.wttw.com/3G1MJVK

felt compelled to look up ICE authority for warrantless arrests if I'm reading this correctly, the circumstances under which ICE can arrest a citizen are basically limited to 'I literally saw you commit a felony and you're about to escape and no one's gonna be able to get a warrant' this aint that

ICE is the new American gestapo. No one is safe.

administration should just put up a “no niggers” sign and save themselves the trouble of writing out each country

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem

This photo is going to appear in 7th-grade history books someday. www.amny.com/news/brad-la...

Call your Dem reps. Cite this poll and tell them to fight. Find their info at 5calls.org or reps.fyi.

It would be so great if Democratic Party elected officials would start acting as if they’re living under a government that will lawlessly kill or arrest them for the crime of political opposition.

lord, this photograph

“You don’t have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens,” Mr. Lander says repeatedly, according to the video. “I’m not obstructing. I’m standing right here in the hallway. I asked to see the judicial warrant.”

Impromptu presser outside 26 Federal Plaza as elected officials gather, calling for Lander's release.

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.

The regime announces that it will target opposition cities using its paramilitary forces. The next day, those forces arrest an opposition politician. brooklyn.news12.com/federal-agen...

Jesus. Every. Single. Day. US taxpayer is forced to fund one of the murderous regimes in history. So sick and depraved at every level. #gaza #econsky www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Episode 40: In Covid's Wake Looking back at a pandemic that killed more than 1 million people, two political scientists bravely ask, "Could we have done even less?" podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

To address “declining popularity” by compounding war crimes and scaling mass slaughter—the imagination of an absolute monster.

Hey Bluesky, let's play a game, shall we? It's called "distributing these photos as widely as possible." This man assaulted community members and threatened journalists yesterday. We sure would love to know more about him. Recognize him? Please contact us!

Would love to have reporters dig into this incident, which is reminiscent of the Portland arrests of protesters in black vans. My additional question: did these black vans even have government plates?

LOOK AT THIS SHIT: Marines and ICE team up in a show of force, turning a community swap meet into a surveillance operation. Witnesses say people were cornered, forced to identify themselves, and had their photos taken — without suspicion or a warrant. This is a police state.

Remember, we *had* a diplomatic resolution to the Iran nuclear issue, thanks to the JCPOA that Obama put in place after years of hard work, but then President Spiteful Shithead withdrew the U.S. from the pact in 2018 and everything fell apart. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

I know a lot of people just don't really know much about foreign cities, but please imagine how it would go if someone told all of NYC to evacuate "immediately," and then add two million more people to that scenario
