Melissa Hortman was murdered in her own home. Not a random act. A political assassination. We cannot afford silence—or soft language. Or hope as a plan. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

No one should ever put a microphone in front of Mike Lee’s face ever again without raking him over the coals for what he posted yesterday. People were murdered and he’s tossing around the guys picture shit talking. Don’t let this scumbag get away with this behavior.

Over 75% of folks in ICE custody this year had no criminal record beyond immigration or traffic issues. Less than 10% had serious convictions. Fear sells, but facts matter. #ImmigrationTruth

Congress should pass the bipartisan BARK Act, my bill to save millions of pounds of perfectly good pet food from the trash and get it to the growing population of hungry shelter dogs and cats. We can do this. Let’s get it done.

Acosta: This was obviously an embarrassment for Donald Trump. He wanted a Kim Jong-un–style dictator parade for his birthday, and it was more Snoozelini than Mussolini. There were times where he could barely stay awake It’s just so sad.

I have no idea if Paul Weiss is making more money or not. What I do know is that no amount of money will undo the stench and stain on the firm and its management for capitulating to Donald Trump.

Mamdani: This military parade the other day is a perfect example of everything that’s wrong with the MAGA movement—a focus on pomp and circumstance over actually addressing the needs of working- and middle-class Americans.

When we reviewed the 1,450+ NIH grants terminated by the Trump administration, we found that: • More than 550 were focused on health disparities or inequities • More than 300 were focused on LGBTQ+ health care Full story 👇

Tucker Carlson says Fox is a propaganda network that manipulates their mostly elderly audience.

EPIC response.

NO KINGS DAY was not a dour, dismal acknowledgement of certain defeat, as much as it was a joyfully defiant dance party of pissed off people who haven’t let a minority movement of misery make them in capable of jubilation. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/id-lost-a-...

@blumenthal.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @whitehouse.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov can you please censure Mike Lee for his post regarding the Hortman assassination? This ghoulish cynicism is how we’ve gotten to this state of political violence. Remember the ridicule of the Pelosi attack?

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

acting US Attorney Thompson details that officers actually exchanged fire with Boelter before he barged into Hortman's house and killed her and her husband

Trump's job approval rating is roughly stable across our May and June Strength In Numbers/ @verasight.bsky.social polls. In June, he’s at 42% approve / 56% disapprove. Trump is underwater on 10/11 ssues we tested. Only positive on border security. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-appr...

Perfect.

Thank you to the Culpeper Police Department for swiftly responding to this situation. Cindy and I are grateful to hear that no injuries have been reported. There is no place for violence in our politics. Full stop.

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

Birds of a feather always flock together

The Republicans are pretty silent in the face of daily Trump outrages because they think the fix is in for 2026. We can’t let that happen.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

“If ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can.” In August, Nassau County lawmakers passed a bill banning the public from wearing masks. Protesters showed up today masked anyway. We asked them why.

Favorite shirt of the day #nokings

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

If Noem doesn’t know who the California senator is, what else doesn’t she know?

TODAY WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST DAYS OF MY LIFE. IT WAS A PEAK EXPERIENCE TO BE IN A SEA OF 80,000 OF MY KINDRED SPIRITS. REVEREND BARBER GAVE A SPEECH THAT MARTIN LUTHER WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD OF. I AM SO PROUD OF MY NEW HOME PHILADELPHIA. THE GHOST OF THE REVOLUTIONARIES WERE WITH US.

Canada sees you and is cheering on the resistors. We recognize this is a terrible situation for you and you are all so courageous for being out there. Keep going! Don't give up until your country is back to being an actual democracy. 💪🏼

To those who have not studied history, or forgot, or don’t believe history repeats, take a look. If you still don’t get the connection, then you will live the consequences of your actions, or inaction.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Proud of Minnesotans

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Yesssssss… I love this 🙌🏼

✌🏼💙🇺🇸

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.
