On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park. New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

This.

💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼‍♂️ @aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔

My God. My God.

"Americans have never protested so much yet gained so little leverage. This is not the fault of protesters but of the multifaceted mafia state." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/i-spent-no...

The U.S. Army swore in four Big Tech executives as Lieutenant Colonels: - Palantir’s CTO - Meta’s CTO - OpenAI’s Chief Product Officer - OpenAI’s former Chief Research Officer All of these people are surely connected to fascist Peter Thiel, as Zuckerberg (Meta) and Altman (OpenAI) are his protégés.

Linda Mamoun— "No Western media outlet has even asked this."

I can't think of anyone currently running for office more dangerous than Andrew Cuomo. Not just for NYC but for the nation, because unfortunately NYC disproportionately affects the rest of the states. Bad politicians elsewhere don't have the same structural power. NYC: Do not vote for this man.

🥹 Millions of Americans are coming together on this #NoKings Day to reject authoritarian overreach, defend democracy, and stand up for their communities.

The #NoKings march in Dallas, Texas is HUGE!

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

My favorite #Wisconsin #NoKings sign/flag from today. #wipolitics

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

#NoKings New York

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

While the rest of the stock market is trading down this morning, Palantir is trading up.

Watching Republicans try not to talk about a US Senator being manhandled, pushed to the floor, subdued and then forced out of a press conference--after wanting to ask questions of a US government official, might be the most chilling moment of the last 5 months.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

Trump doesn’t need to send in the Marines. I think just one cop would work. And maybe a construction worker. Plus a leather biker guy. And

Hell of a photo

LAPD STATEMENT: “The protests remained peaceful… without incident…”

America has to one of the only countries in the world that will try to turn a story about crippling medical debt into a feel-good story.

The beautiful Breonna Taylor should have celebrated her 32nd birthday today. Never forget her. ❤️🕊️

Elon Musk has accused Donald Trump of being in the Epstein Files. Here’s the most important follow-up question: was Joe Biden too demented to release this information? Read my book to find out. Jake Tapper tomorrow in the NYT

Putin: “We are not losing planes. We are strategically relocating them into flaming wreckage.”

If I said every hour of every day for the next year that Joni Ernst can go fuck herself, it wouldn’t be often enough.

Republicans can only lose 3 Senate votes on Trump's Big Ugly Bill — and these senators are the most vulnerable in 2026: -Collins (ME) -Tillis (NC) -Sullivan (AK) -Husted (OH) -Moody (FL) -Cornyn (TX) -Ernst (IA) If they represent you, tell them to vote NO.  (202) 224-3121
