How did rich business guys get the risk assessment on Trump vs. Harris so wrong? "Every single businessperson that I've spoken to said the same thing, they wanted to get time with Biden and couldn't." And they imagined they'd be getting Trump 1.0. @mcuban.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social:

NEW: Pope Leo’s newly appointed Bishop, Michael Pham, outside the court in San Diego: “We need to speak up for the voiceless in our society - and we will.” The video then shows masked ICE agents leaving without snatching anyone today. More of this resistance nationwide! 👏 (🎥 PSL San Diego)

Israel's Prime Minister may think no one will notice what he's doing in Gaza while he bombs Iran. People face starvation. 55,000 killed. Aid workers and doctors turned away at the border. Shooting at innocent people desperate for food. The world sees you, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Secretary Hegseth is good at playing tough guy until he has to answer a simple question about national security. Our military is meant to protect Americans from foreign threats, not occupy American cities.

"To care for him who shall have borne the battle - and for his widow - and his orphan." Abraham Lincoln. A Republican. It is APPALLING what this White House is doing to our vets. I don't believe Americans will stand for it. But Republican Members of Congress certainly are.

For generations, if you came on a visa and applied for asylum, you would generally not be arrested even if your visa expired during the process. That’s over now. They’re arresting everyone, even people who have done legitimately nothing wrong. What a terrible, awful, inhumane, cruel policy.

Hugely important pushback against those people who said that Trump was going to get a boost from the LA unrest. No. The average member of the public seems to be able to distinguish between bad acts of individual rioters and the broader reasons for the unrest, which is Trump and ICE’s overreach.

When I was Governor, I worked hard to expand health care to half a million Coloradans and get our state to near universal coverage. Why are Republicans in Washington so determined to take us backwards?

People need to be getting pissed off about this one and voicing it. This is greed. Protected public lands are something to be preserved for current and future generations. Once they are gone there is no going back. Once they crack open the door for this more greed will kick in

House Republicans passed the biggest health care cut in U.S. history. Senate Republicans’ response? Cut Medicaid even FURTHER. It’s cruel, it’s out of touch, and the American people won’t stand for it. More from @kjzz.org ⬇️
