By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

I have had a lot of problems with Walmart over the years but I am so happy to see them do the right thing in this instance. bsky.app/profile/nanc...

So. Are they still talking about the Biden White House or nah?

Get yourself some Lawrence O’Donnell tonight.

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

Bolts covered last month that Maryland Dems stood down on a proposal to ban this program, 287g, in their state, sinking the ban in the final hours of their legislative session. icymi, important reporting: boltsmag.org/maryland-287...

Tough day for Putin lovers.

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

Geo runs many of the ICE detention centers. Make them famous. www.propublica.org/article/geo-...

It’s time to turn the lights out on Lauren Boebert

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

Have to give Pete Buttigieg credit, it takes a lot of skill to have the FAA run fine for four years, but set it up so it all falls apart soon as you leave office.

No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.

Give me the reason why a food inspector has a more stringent code of ethics than the president of the United States. Why does a third grader have to listen when a teacher tells him something, but the president doesn’t have to listen anybody?”

Fun Fact: Supporting programs so children can eat is FRIGGIN PRO LIFE...🤔

A major U.S. pension fund has moved to halt new purchases of Tesla stock hopefully others will follow.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Pope Leo XIV: ‘There Couldn’t Be A Better Time To Get The Fuck Out Of America Forever’

That would be very wrong. Very, very wrong.

Since cis het men who are natural born US citizens commit the most crimes, I think they should have markers on their IDs, restricted state to state travel, higher insurance and tax rates, separate restrooms, and state sanctioned vasectomies at 14 because they cause 100% of unwanted pregnancies.

Salt Lake City, Utah, and Boise, Idaho, adopted official Pride flags on Tuesday in response to state laws barring the display of any nonofficial flags at schools and government buildings.

‘GOP Plans To Cut Medicaid Would Kick Millions Off Health Insurance’ A headline to share far and wide. Make sure everyone knows. www.huffpost.com/entry/cbo-me...

NEW: Minnesota’s graduation rate just reached the highest level on record. Two years ago, we made the single-largest investment in public schools in state history.   Today, we’re seeing the results.

Mike Waltz has left the chat.

It’s time for accountability. When we get back to Congress next week, articles of impeachment need to be filed against Pete Hegseth.

For a country that is so broken there sure are a lot of men at this airport taking flights to go play golf

Thank you, Sen. Van Hollen, for standing up not just for Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his family but for every American who believes in due process. We can't stop speaking out until he is home and this administration is forced to stop its horrific practice of kidnapping people without charge or trial.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.
