As of today, more than 50% of all US federal government shut down days in history have happened during Trump presidencies

There’s 1,000 times more chatter about the Maine senate race in a year than about Maine’s ballot measure in 3 weeks that’d bring voter ID and crack down on mail voting… maybe let’s start there??? boltsmag.org/maine-questi...

More than 40 percent of Jewish Americans say they’ve avoided publicly wearing, carrying or displaying anything that might identify them as Jewish in the past year, a Washington Post poll found.

Jack is unraveling, and it’s no secret why: he’s 25 days away from becoming a three-time loser.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

Weird how all these ICE agents cosplaying Tier One operators have yet to enter a known violent gang area to make arrests.

Have we considered the possibility that this man has simply lived one of the mostly uniquely eccentric lives of any person in a century?

This is very cool. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Some times in America we have the exact right President in office to lead in crucial moments (i.e. Lincoln). But at other times we have the exact wrong President in office (i.e. Andrew Johnson). Today we have the worst President in our history in office at a most crucial moment.

1. I was an opponent of the Tea Party. 2. I was Never Trump from the very start, including signing the letters that I would never work in the administration. 3. Posts like this happen when you create stories about people you were not aware existed until you got mad about something.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is set to announce a $340 million deal with Constellation Energy to reduce pollution flowing into the Susquehanna River from the Conowingo Dam.

An Indiana prison allows some residents to raise kittens thanks to a partnership with a cat shelter.

New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford. Our new ad just aired during The Golden Bachelor.

Jane Goodall was not only a pioneering primatologist, she also campaigned more relentlessly and selflessly for the natural world than anyone I know. A great soul if ever there was one www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

So many hot takes about who will win/lose the shutdown, but so little discussion about what's at stake. The stakes here are whether Congress makes the law or the president can rule by diktat. Everything else is commentary.

Say what you will about John Roberts, but he knows how to write a powerful decision when the stakes are high. The reasoning on display here is impressive--compelling, yet beautifully written. I'm in awe.

The tariff story isn’t just soybeans. It’s also your grocery bill. Farmers get a bailout. Shoppers just get higher prices. Trade wars don't just create pain, they ensure the costs are born by those without political power.

🚨This is a big deal: suburban chicago police launch an investigation into an ICE attack on local CBS news journalists.

It’s funny because it isn’t 😕 🇺🇸

BREAKING: The FBI has fired agents photographed kneeling during a 2020 racial justice protest that followed the death of George Floyd, AP sources say.

Great piece. @msnbc.com needs to re-hire @matthewjdowd.bsky.social !

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this. Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

Best of the Day!!!!!!! I can't stop laughing! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

The remarks for which Jimmy Kimmel was suspended weren't about Donald Trump-or even Charlie Kirk They were about the shooter But that's beside the point Because the First Amendment permits insensitive speech-even if it criticizes our government That's the difference between democracy and fascism

Conservative? I don’t think that word means what they think it means.

In the old days, a genocide was a genocide. Now, it's a business opportunity.

Hey everyone, in the heat of things, I originally saw this quote in a piece in the Nation, and their quote has since been updated to specify that it was specific to Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, etc. But Kirk’s clearly anti-black statements speak for themselves: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok. They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post. They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets. “Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

You can never appease a tyrant.

🤷‍♀️ I have 2 dogs—Greyhounds. I made a pancake for breakfast. Ate about half. Cut the other half into 8 pieces. Four pieces in each in Casey's and Charlie's dishes on top of their food. Charlie ate all four pieces immediately.

12 September 1939 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Hanna Harriët Samson, was born in Emmen. In December 1942, she was deported from Westerbork to #Auschwitz. She was murdered in a gas chamber after the selection. --- Deportation of Jews from the occupied Netherlands: http://lekcja.auschwitz.org/32_en/

I think it is always worth mentioning that Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were killed with their beloved dog Gilbert: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u...

11 September 1930 | Jewish boy, Léon Cygler, was born in Brussels. He was deported to #Auschwitz from Kazerne Dossin in Mechelen on 18 August 1942. He was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.

What Epstein records have not been made public?

CNN has a panel talking about Epstein and the host just mentioned (almost as an aside!) that one of the guys is a lawyer defending Ghislaine Maxwell. And rather than being a guest who's grilled about the case, he's treated like any other panelist who just happens to be minimizing the crimes.

As someone who works in politics, I've been posting more random stuff and less politics lately the same way that I tend to watch a comedy instead of a horror film -- I'm already drowning in the terror, I just need a second to breathe.

Once Donald Trump gets the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law – what comes next?

Biden spent almost all four years calling a partisan democratic infrastructure law the “bipartisan infrastructure law” in one of the dumbest fucking branding moves I’ve ever seen in politics. Democrats earned this L

Thanking God for sparing you in a natural disaster is a bit like sending a thank you note to a serial killer for murdering the family next door.
