Deploying the National Guard onto the streets of LA for law enforcement purposes is illegal. — @congressmin.bsky.social

PIN Number ATM Machine UPC Code LCD Display We regret to inform you that his phenomenon has a name: RAS Syndrome. Redundant Acronym Syndrome…Syndrome.

Rest assured I *will* be going back to hating Gavin Newsom 24/7 for being a jerkass creep ratman as soon as possible but I’m not doing it right now, this is pragmatic politics

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

Bob Costas nailed it. 🎯

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

Watching Captain America: Brave New World and it's very funny how part of the plot is reliant on the press actually asking hard questions of a president at a press conference. Wow did they pick the wrong time to make this.

Pay attention folks. We are approaching the tipping point rapidly. youtu.be/dJrTQvMYRTM?...

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

Both sides

Under Trump, the war in Gaza has gotten worse and now there's a war in Iran too. Here's why I still think Trump was the peace candidate.

For years, Boeing engineers warned about the fatal flaws in the 787 Dreamliner series—especially in planes shipped overseas. Now, one has crashed in India. From Maureen Tkacik

Proxy war?

I remember the old days like 6 months ago when MAGA accused Democrats of being warmongers for wanting to provide aid to Ukraine, claiming that the real motive for it was to use them to fight a proxy war against another country for US interests. I guess proxy wars are ok now.

The 787 Dreamliner had never crashed—until now. But the warnings were there: paper-thin gaps, wrong titanium, ignored whistleblowers, and factory shortcuts. One whistleblower died by suicide after years fighting for accountability. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/b... #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage. Dems need to act like an opposition.

De Blasio having the time of his life rn

Listening to the asshole @SpeakerJohnson just blame Senator Padilla makes a few things clear. 1st - He uses God and religion to justify lying. 2nd - IT IS TIME FOR A NATIONAL STRIKE. AMERICANS SHOULD CALL IN SICK AND SHOULD STOP SPENDING MONEY ON ANYTHING BUT NECESSITIES.

"To Mr. Cuomo, I've never had to resign in disgrace. I've never cut Medicaid. I have never stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from the MTA. I have never hounded the thirteen women who credibly accused me of sexual harassment. I have never sued for their gynecological records." - Zohran just now.

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

AOC: If Senator Fetterman or anybody else is concerned with law and order, we should be looking at one of the most law breaking agencies and administrations that we've seen in the United States.
