It was 2pm and 88° in Lamont CA where these farm workers were harvesting broccoli. This crew was hand-cutting broccoli heads and loading them onto conveyor system. #WeFeedYou

"Gabriella" is harvesting kale on CAs Central Coast. She will stoop to harvest hundreds of kale bunches and fill dozens of boxes during her shift. #WeFeedYou

👀❗️Zelensky: Russians are losing 30,000–35,000 soldiers every month. And the nature of these losses has changed over the past year: about 63% are killed, another 37% are seriously wounded. These are huge, irreversible losses.

Sent out my free midweek update. US weakness is accelerating as both Israel and Iran are defying the USA in the Middle East. Trump is raging privately and lying publicly. He is also preparing. His decision to opt for total loyalty is not ego, it is about control. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Important work on the history of birthright citizenship from @anthonymkreis.bsky.social

The word on the street in Texas is there couldn't be two more unalike candidates. One who claims to be a Christian & his wife divorced him on Biblical grounds, his own party indicted him for impeachment - or the 1 who walks the walk & talks the talk, the real deal & Texans are following!

With each passing day, I'm liking Jon Ossoff more and more. I think he may be the real deal.

lol Truth can also be funny

I spoke to President Trump on the phone last hour about the end of negotiations with the Iranians. He told me: “I don’t care if they’re over, honestly. I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less. If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time.”

Everything's fine

The Astros won 9-2. They are 27-33. Christian Walker and Jeremy Peña homered. AJ Blubaugh got nine very impressive outs. Jacob Misiorowski vs. Tatsuya Imai tomorrow afternoon.

As you may've noticed, this was not a "mixed" decision, but a clear victory for Beatty, @democracydefendersaction.org, & Wash Litigation Grp. I got mixed up because Judge Cooper simultaneously denied a *different* grp of plaintiffs a prelim injunction to oversee the Kennedy Center's renovations.

i’ll admit i did not think the retired judges’ motion to re-open the Trump v. IRS case would succeed. but now that is has…lfg? at a minimum, DOJ will be forced to justify its conduct in writing

Please support this amazing team and send Anna lots of soup recipes

Today: 1. A judge temporarily blocked the $1.8B slush fund 2. A judge ordered Trump’s name off the Kennedy Center 3. A judge asked the govt to answer charges of a fraud on the court in Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS 4. A judge asked DoJ to explain why he should dismiss the Oath Keepers’ charges

Trump bought stock in the UFC’s parent company while promoting fights set to take place at the White House on his birthday, HuffPost has learned

ICE hides flight info because if they can get detainees to detention hubs in the south before lawyers and family can locate them, they face harsher courts. But jurisdiction doesn’t change until the flight lands. That’s where this tracking tool comes in. 1/ gillianbrockell.com/habeas-fligh...

Cam Smith went UP to take a home run away 🤯

OK, I see ya Killa Cam. #Astros

Rules for thee, not for me. It’s not about hypocrisy anymore, he created a criminal organization with a weaponized Justice Department. Who’s gonna stop him? Probably no one…..

I think my favorite thing about meeting fellow vets here, is knowing what I’ve said for a long time. These Maga idiots think there are no veterans who could possibly be liberal & that we’re not ready to stand with our brothers & sisters of this country and defend it. Should the time arise.

Mission accomplished

Russian citizens are being prepared for a defeat. The underlying message and direction of narrative is a significant departure from the 3-days in Kyiv and war propaganda that has been directed at the public to avoid dissent and revolt.

Putin landed in Kazakhstan under the cover of fighter jets. The Russian president will stay in Astana for two days. The indicted war criminal is protected by Kazakhstan. Which h makes them complicit in Russian war crimes - from any view point.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

60 Minutes confirms Iran is bypassing the US blockade and exporting 100,000 more barrels of oil per day than before the war. Most of it is reportedly going to China.

The nighttime terror of Ukrainian cities cost the occupiers approximately $700 million This is more than the annual budget of Russian cities such as Ufa or Tyumen. For the same, it would be possible to build 37 modern schools with 1,000 places, or 112 district hospitals, or 466 km of roads. 1/2
