Incredible to see measles outbreaks in prisons....will Trump regime step in and start vaccinating prison inmates to prevent outbreaks like this from happening all over US? If it has happened once, it can happen everywhere and help fuel a true national epidemic. This anti-vaxx shit is not f-ing OK.

Breaking News: Gov. Gavin Newsom of California sued Fox News, accusing it of defaming him in coverage of a phone call he had with President Trump this month.

What? Wasn’t Sen Ted Cruz born abroad too? Should we deport him? www.austinchronicle.com/daily/news/2...

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

The stupidity and malice is palpable.

All kinds of awesome:

"Last month, all seven '60 Minutes' correspondents moved to take some collective action in an effort to safeguard the program that they so deeply care about." This is extremely rare. www.status.news/p/60-minutes...

The intelligence report on any damage in Iran won’t be final until it’s marked up with the presidential black Sharpie.

Even when Trump was polling well on immigration, under the hood there were clear majorities opposed to tactics he would have to use as part of mass deportation, e.g. deportations of non-criminals. That's only getting to get more visible as they continue to speed up the deportation machine.

What a monster

This is a real Los Angeles Police Department press release: "LAPD Responds to Kidnapping Call, Discovers Federal Operation"

Mahmood Mamdani, father of Zohran Mamdani, on "beneficiaries" of violence and their omission from discussions of human rights and crises like South Africa, Sudan, Palestine, etc.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...

I'm a couple of days late to this Diego Luna monologue--so maybe you are too. It choked me up. It's well worth your time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7726...

If even a fraction of what this letter says is true, Emil Bove should be prosecuted for criminal contempt and disbarred. In no way should he be confirmed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

This is very very bad. Please call your senators about this. Ten years is an enormous length of time for anything developing as fast as AI.

Hate has no home in America. The "party of peace" should know better. Rep. Andy Ogles must be censured for his disgusting rhetoric.

A MAGA Christian nationalist dressed up like a police officer to shoot and kill Minnesota Democratic lawmakers. We should still be talking about it. If lawmakers aren't safe, not one of us is safe.

The reports coming out of ICE field offices are deeply concerning. So is the fact that ICE is trying to keep those horrific conditions hidden from the American people. We’re sounding the alarm. ICE’s abuse of power has to end.

There’s nothing nicer than going into a major museum show like “Wayne Thiebaud: Art Comes from Art” at the Legion of Honor filled with wariness around its premise and leaving not just convinced, but charmed.

Katharine Graham's granddaughter has a withering assessment of the Washington Post's owner: "Bezos could have honored the promise he made to protect this American institution. "Bezos has chosen to go down as the man who destroyed the Post—and dismantled its soul." www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Oooof. So sorry to hear this. At start of Carter admin, I was tasked w trying to recruit him for big job. He said then, firmly, that he'd just made the switch to j'ism, and wanted to be crystal-clear that he was not doing active politics/govt any more. A complex but enormously principled man.

Open fascism from a member of Congress. Genuinely scary.

This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported. That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office. On immigration generally, he's at 41-57!

Congratulations, the universe sent you this dog because you have been chosen. Joy awaits. 13/10

Anyway, glad to see a good South Asian on the rise again. There are some real stinkers on the MAGA side giving us a bad name.

Mamdani won because he went outside. Hi, I'm Brandi. I'm a political consultant now. Go outside. Everyone online is so annoying. Try being annoying IRL around offline people. It'll fix you.

The racism against Mamdani hurts. Recall my father, from India, having to assert he was a “proud American” on his resume. Don’t do this. Welcome the help of smart, talented, principled Americans of all kinds. Especially when they devote themselves to the public interest. Let’s see what he can do.

At various times in its life, the House Un-American Activities Committee targeted fascists as well as communists. In 1965, it held hearings on the violence of the Klan and other white supremacist groups.

Beloit, WI revitalized its waterfront and chose this way to celebrate it: by bringing to life Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."

An iced latte from Blue Spoon Coffee in Lower Manhattan cuts thru the summer haze. Totally refreshing. 😊

ICYMI: With the Secretary of Defense holding Christian prayer sessions in the Pentagon, religious freedom in the military has never been more imperiled. For 20+ years, Mikey Weinstein has led the battle to protect those who can't protect themselves due to the nature of the military:

So memorable in Caged.

Trump will be trying to gaslight us until the final report comes in, and then after that. The emergency is domestic: stop the violent kidnapping of migrants and separation of families.

Once again, Trump has shown contempt for the constitutional order. And once again, Congress seems poised to bend the knee.

Another thing about Mamdani that's got me excited is that the NYC city administration is about to get a big influx of smart, public service-minded people (maybe some former feds among them) to make shit great. (Harder to sell people on working for Mayor Corruption Cop.)

D-Day was one of the largest, top secret military invasions in history involving nearly 1.3K troops and it led to the defeat of HITLER & NAZI GERMANY. Whiskey Pete needs to put those history books back on the shelves... www.eisenhowerlibrary.gov/research/onl...

Brutal, Ann. Spot on.

The American flag stands for the ability to hold our govt accountable, you dimwit.

What a coward. Can’t handle a presser.
