“older president” Trump is 79. Biden was ushered out at 81.

This is what the majority of the caucus wants.

The tiny silver lining to all these horrors is the total conceptual embrace in Trumpland of aggressively prosecuting government figures for corruption

very cool that trump is singularly dedicated to making everything in your life more expensive

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

folks, I want to remind you that a ton of federal workers are about to get their last pay check at the end of this month and this stuff is going to get much worse

Since January OMB Director Russ Vought has hidden over $410 billion in appropriated funds in order to push his own agenda. trib.al/8b60Vlr

When the Chamber spends big on ads against raising wages, but the comment section turns into a pro-worker rally. 👀👏 I had to read some of my favorites. Thank you to everyone for speaking truth to power. Your voices matter and tomorrow we are bringing those voices to City Hall.

This story feels like it’s going to have huge repercussions

Ummmmm…

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

Liberals say the Supreme Court had destroyed our democracy. They're wrong—it has destroyed our Republic.

It still seems under-discussed that literally nobody has ever loved him from the day he was born, nobody ever will, and in his twisted way he deeply understands this.

The whole Borjas style theory of immigration being bad is that it harms the more marginalized parts of the US labor force, like Black workers and young workers. But that’s the opposite of what’s happening right now

We’re rapidly arriving at him doing it in the middle of 5th Avenue

Yep. Almost by definition, the normies are the ones for whom the utter failure of traditional, institutional structures and leaders are the most jarring.

A few more spam texts should do it

Who could have predicted?

Gavin Newsom is a genuinely bad person and any admiration you have for him needs to be directed toward actually good people like JB Pritzker or Andy Beshear.

LOL, the kicker on this story about OpenAI's $500 billion valuation. It remains beyond human capability to create an LLM that doesn't constantly bullshit answers, misattributing and fabricating sources. It's inherent to the technology. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I mean, this apartment *is* starving for an argument

“A Dem majority will subpoena the Epstein Files on Day 1” is an unexpectedly intriguing midterm message

Gallup has new polling on immigration. Topline findings: -Americans hate Trump's immigration policy (35% approve, 62% disapprove) -Share who say immigration is a "good thing" for the country just hit an all-time high (79%) news.gallup.com/poll/692522/...

The UFW can confirm farm workers were critically injured yesterday during chaotic raids in Ventura County, CA. Other workers, including US citizens, remain unaccounted for. UFW staff is on the ground supporting impacted families. Our full statement below. ⬇️ 1/

These people are out of control. www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/i...

if Trump were actively trying to impoverish and deskill the united states for the sake of our competitors, what would he be doing differently?

Each passing week reinforces the conclusion that if the labor movement is going to prove its value to federal workers it’s going to be in the streets, not in court.

Imagine the outrage if Biden's FEMA chief was AWOL as a devastating natural disaster played out, claiming the lives of 100 people and counting. Now imagine it's Trump's FEMA chief and it's happening right now amid Texas' deadly floods. Except you don't have to imagine.

forgive me if this is stating the obvious but the reason they quote Rufo so much is bc they agree with him

Why is there no Benny Hill music?

BREAKING: Documents filed in court today assert that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that "the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the" U.S.

Four very strange things: - Freelancer who is not a Metro regular as a lead byline on a City Hall story; - Opting to not name a polemicist source who's already been identified; - Opting to publish despite not getting in; - Opting to publish despite no repetition in any of his campaigns.

The treatment of the TikTok ban might seem silly, but it is, effectively, a sign that the constitutional government we have operated under for more than 200 years is no longer in effect. Read the thread.

Do you think ICE needs enough money to buy 35 full-sized Nimitz-class aircraft carriers *this year*? If not, you should probably be pretty fucking annoyed with them getting 160 billion dollars!

Honestly - feels like she is the only leader with the national platform - speaking about what is ahead of us with a sense of urgency.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This is an extremely bad take, sorry. Definitely do not let up or lose heart. Know that you have power. But also know that the fight is to hang on to elections and we have to fight that fight. They are very openly trying to end legitimate elections. Pretending otherwise only helps them.

The politics of the immediate crisis moment demand it, and that's fine. But I hope desperately that this episode murders once and for all the notion that we just need the old Republican Party back. The supposed vestiges of the old Republican Party ain't doing shit, because the old GOP liked this too

More seriously, I feel like a messaging strategy of "This time, vote for people who will do something to stop these awful things" won't work as well for Dem establishment figures as they imagine.

Unsubscribed three separate times today from Colin Allred texts if you're wondering how Dems are doing with Operation Retake the Senate

“We probably wouldn’t have done it ourselves but hey 🤷🏼‍♂️ if you vote for us we might partially roll back a couple pieces of it, so!”

Taxpayers have already spent over $600,000 for the Secret Service to rent golf carts and port-a-potties at just one of Trump's golf courses: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

A federal judge is keeping this man in jail to protect him from the federal government.

The best talent Dems can presumably muster can't even write a functional statement of this length. Yet hundreds of millions are being sunk into projects that assume the basics are already covered.

"We got to do 99% of what we wanted, but the problem was the groups didn't let us lose hard enough" remains a first ballot hall of fame take

So far every one of my attempts to get excited about the Tillis retirement has been dashed on the rocks of DSCC Chair Gillibrand.

Duke appears to have lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies, or signal transduction www.dukechronicle.com/article/2025...

For 6 months, Dem leaders have downplayed or refused to frontally address many of Trump's worst abuses by saying those are "distractions" from the Dems focusing on economic issues. But as Trump's tax bill is being voted on, Jeffries is attacking a Dem ...over a phrase that Dem doesn't even use.
