šŸ‘€ Gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : ā€œTrump is threatening to defund California — we’re a donor state. We put in $80 Billion more than we get… maybe we should withhold those resources.ā€ www.instagram.com/reel/DKlRUa6... We’ve been wondering when this would start to become a thing.

Oh no! A bad day. 😄 A divided appeals court panel lifted portions of a lower-court judge's ruling that blocked Trump’s ban on AP in the White House. Plus court ok’s DOGE access to your Social Security data and Abrego Garcia returned to US but only to be arrested on trafficking charges.

Wtf

One of my favorite Bible stories is the one where that leper came to Jesus asking for healing and Jesus said why bother "we all are going to die."

Someone please explain to me how this isn’t a flagrant violation of SCOTUS’ decision in AARP that due process requires more than 24 hours of notice.

McGovern: "What the hell are Republicans so afraid of? What the hell are so scared of that you guys are holding this hearing at 1 in the morning ... if Republicans are so proud of what's in this bill, why are you trying to ram it through in dead of night?"

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Two hearings involving Trump targeting student protesters; demonstrations in two states for Mahmoud Khalil; wrangling over $20 billion in green funding and more. This ā€œRising This Week,ā€ at @www.allrisenews.com open.substack.com/pub/allrisen...

I'm thinking seriously about muting Jake Tapper, and muting the word "Tapper" and the phrase "Biden's age." And I may very well start muting people who keep talking about this story that I am so very very done with. And ffs people, please don't buy his crappy book.

I'm going to say it. I think it's not going to be popular—especially with mainstream Dems—but I'm going to say it. In the history of politics since I've been alive, no premise has come closer to "trying to make 'fetch' happen" than the effort by media and some pols to say Biden had dementia as POTUS

This is a clear statement by CNN that a man who incited an insurrection against America 4 years ago and told 31,000 lies in his first term still has credibility People should be fired for this sort of thing, as it's these journalistic atrocities—all *dangerously* counterfactual—driving readers away

The Republicans tax bill is here. It does NOT ban taxing tips. It does NOT ban taxing overtime. It does NOT ban taxing Social Security. Trump LIED to you — y’all got PLAYED.

BREAKING: Dems have FLIPPED the Omaha mayoral race. John Ewing Jr has beaten the GOP incumbent!!

Criticism of the judiciary is fair game. But threats against judges, even if, as an institution, they have the will to withstand them, are not. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I mean... he manifestly wants riots so he has an excuse to declare martial law, so this tracks.

Good for Bill Gates

Trump taps Fox News host Jeanine Pirro to be interim U.S. attorney for D.C. Trump taps Fox News host Jeanine Pirro to be interim U.S. attorney for D.C. Tell me it isn’t true! Having been a prosecutor or judge does NOT overcome her support of everything Trump does or wants to do & election denialism.

A truly gutting editorial from a West Point faculty member who is leaving the school.

Trump has now elected liberals in Canada, Australia, and the Vatican

Running the math in my head on which Fox host is gonna get the gig.

Imagine converting to a new religion just 6 years ago & in that short time the leader of your new religion died hours after meeting you and the HOLY SPIRIT guided over 100 Cardinals to vote for his replacement who turns out to be a guy who hates you. Yeah, JD Vance is never seeing the pearly gates.

This is huge. Congratulations @legaldefensefund.bsky.social and Black Alabama voters.

One step closer to justice Habeas for men imprisoned in El Salvador: Judge Boasberg leaves clear impression he's inclined to find jurisdiction. He says ACLU-DF "may well have sufficiently" made case Plaintiffs in "constructive custody" of USG. But more facts via discovery would be helpful to him.
