Happy No Kings Day from St. Paul to all who celebrate!

Ok, admittedly not a military person and, worse yet, I’m a girl, which apparently is awful, but it seems to me that the future of warfare is less about guys with tattoos grunting and straining in the mud with a foe, and more about tactical use of remote weapons, like drones, that even fat guys and

If you wanna know what to boycott that is owned by Disney here is a good reference‼️ if you own Disney stocks, #DIVESTFROMDISNEY www.fool.com/investing/ho...

Buhbye, Disney! At least I’ll never feel obliged to visit that place in Florida ever again.

The level of corruption, rewarding the Trumps with billions, is unprecedented in our history. Per the NYT:

Americans have short memories—keep reminding them. PLEASE SHARE!

So, just so I get this right. Am I supposed to keep a sandwich in my NPR tote bag along with a can of soup? Can it be any type of sandwich and must the soup complement the sandwich, or can I use up the cream of mushroom?

So, what is the basis for a felony assault charge for throwing a Subway sandwich at a police officer in DC? The last Subway sandwich I had was quite soft and incapable of causing significant bodily harm. Or don’t statutory elements matter anymore?

A funding line of 4% at NCI will have the effect of killing innovation in cancer research. In fact, it may destroy cancer research in the U.S. altogether. Russell Vought said this is all “fun” to him, so that’s who you can thank when a loved one can’t access cutting edge cancer treatment.

“.. filings by four big banks flagged more than $1.5 billion in transactions — including thousands of wire transfers for the purchase and sale of artwork for rich friends, fees paid to Mr. Epstein by wealthy individuals, and payments to numerous women, @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/b...

Pamela Jo Bondi has decided that none of these photos of Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein (or Trump's quote about Epstein) exist. If you saw them, you are instructed to forget them. Do as you are told.

Meanwhile in Russia: decorated state TV host Vladimir Solovyov laughed at U.S. politics and reminded Western leaders that calling Putin won't make him change his objectives. Dmitry Kulikov asserted that the West is finished. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tccn...

This is Nick Begich (R-Alaska). If he votes for the bill, 37,000 of his constituents lose access to their healthcare. 27,000 of his constituents lose access to their food assistance. 578 energy jobs in his district will disappear.

As an experienced rural organizer, these are the three things I would talk about on repeat in rural communities: Medicaid and schools and jobs. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

So, we have a 22-year old Model UN cosplayer in charge of anti-terrorism, marines deployed to CA, and a significant number of tanks and other military equipment in DC for a vanity project. What could possibly go wrong?

Ok, so I’m just spitballing here, but if we let the 2017 tax cuts expire, and we don’t give the wealthy more tax cuts but make them pay taxes like Warren Buffett’s secretary, wouldn’t we make a dent in the deficit without entirely collapsing the safety net? We could give it a try, right?

So if girls are to be limited to 2-3 dolls and 5 pencils (question: are boys limited to 2-3 trucks and 5 water pistols or is it just girls), why don’t we limit billionaires to 1 yacht and 3 residences or limit trump to one golf outing a month? I’m guessing that would actually be more cost effective

So tell me if I have this right-we’re going to cut Meals on Wheels and Headstart so Jeff Bezos and his ilk can buy another yacht?

St. Paul, Minnesota, at the Capitol

Burn it all to the ground and buy up the land and water and minerals at rock bottom prices. This a fire sale for the oligarchy. How do I know? They’ve already done it to rural America…

NEW BOMBSHELL REPORTING FROM DER SPIEGEL Mobile numbers, email addresses and even some passwords belonging to top Trump officials including Mike Waltz, Pete Hegseth, and Tulsi Gabbard have been found online, revealing an additional grave, previously unknown security breach at the highest levels. 1/

this is great and gets to what might be the defining attribute of this administration which is that trump himself is barely aware of what is happening

I just tried calling my senators and the central Senate switchboard. Calls can’t go through because of volume of callers.

A recent report showed that the destruction of just one USAID program, the anti-AIDS PEPFAR initiative, would lead to the deaths of one million people *every year* www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Tillis is up for reelection in NC next year.

So, just a thought. With Musk seeming to be increasingly erratic, could he be having some kind of psychotic break?

President Zelenskyy tears down Trump's lies; states that Trump lives in a Russian Disinformation bubble: "The U.S. has provided Ukraine with $67 billion in military aid and $31 billion in budget support. .... Trump’s $500 billion fossil fuel claim isn’t a serious conversation." #StandWithUkraine 📹🧵

@piperformissouri.bsky.social Hi Jess, I saw your Octavia Butler poem on Facebook today and reposted. Many positive reactions.

I love how Denmark isn’t taking any shit from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣

I always laugh when a certain type of man asks me “why do feminists hate men so much?” My response is this … It’s never been about us hating men. 🧵

The world’s richest man unleashed a wave of online harassment at a US government employee who works to make agriculture more climate-resilient for the sole reason that she had the word “diversification” in her job title, which he assumed meant “diversity”.
