In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Washington was beloved by many for giving away power he could have kept. Trump is reviled by many for snatching power he isn’t entitled to,” our columnist Maureen Dowd writes. “One famously wouldn’t tell a lie. The other famously can’t stop telling lies.”

This is a sitting district court judge empowered to make factual findings and he can’t even tell whether that was an “attack”?

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil died after being trapped in a building hit by Israeli airstrikes. A Post reconstruction of Khalil’s final hours found that Israel denied rescuers access to her during a key period when she was still alive. https://wapo.st/43omgty

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

UK publishing generated £7.4 billion in revenue last year. Compare that to: Premier League football: £6.6 billion Home entertainment: £5.6 billion UK film industry: 2.8 billion Now tell me again why authors don't deserve fair contracts and better pay.

Republicans rammed through their $70 billion bill to fund President Trump’s immigration crackdown through the remainder of his term, after beating back bipartisan efforts to add language killing his plan to create a payout fund.

He didn’t “reject” it. He brought the damn transcript out and corrected their fake version. In other words: receipts.

Trump’s first round of MAGA hires to work in his administration in 2025 scraped the bottom of the barrel of unqualified hacks and grifters. Now he’s moved on to scraping the sludge and slime that was stuck to the bottom.

Hilarious and deeply insightful writing by @brianphillips.lol.

Fuck me, this is Bill Pulte. The guy who was using mortgage data to launch DOJ investigations against Lisa Cook, Letitia James and Adam Schiff. He is being put in charge of national intelligence because of his track record of being willing to manufacture false allegations to target Trump's enemies.

If you haven't already, you must read this bombshell from @robert-faturechi.bsky.social

An NBC News investigation finds dozens of examples of criminals imitating ICE to rob and attack people www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admitted that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release. DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be prosecuted as well.

Our governor rocks! #NewMexico

They lie. They cheat. They profit. I'm fighting to ban members of Congress AND the president from trading stocks, because no one should be profiting off the backs of the people they were elected to serve.

This is something you will never hear on Fox, Newsmax or any other rightwing channel.

Sadly, every word is true. The American experiment is over. Killed in the middle of Fifth Avenue and no one in power blinked an eye to stop it.

He's completely incompetent, even apart from being deranged.

I genuinely do not see a reason not to outlaw the distribution and hosting of AI video generation

MAJOR bullshit alert.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio says he is making a claim for $2-5 million in taxpayer money from Trump’s criminal slush fund. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

JUST A REMINDER…👇 THE EPSTEIN FILES WERE LEGALLY SUPPOSED TO BE RELEASED OVER 5 MONTHS AGO… AND YET, NO ARRESTS!

Testify at a Senate hearing today, Todd Blanche told Senator Chris Van Hollen he's met with Epstein survivors and their lawyers. Within hours, 18 Epstein survivors released a joint statement contradicting AAG Todd Blanche's testimony, directly accusing him of making false claims. I believe them.

NEW: Epstein survivor Annie Farmer about Todd Blanche testimony about wanting to hear from Epstein survivors: "Blanche’s suggestion that survivors reach out to the Dept of Justice to re-report the crimes committed against them is beyond insulting. Many of us have already done that, repeatedly"

Breaking news: Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) lost his primary to a challenger backed by President Trump, the latest casualty in Trump’s efforts to exile his critics from the GOP. The race drew more than $32 million in ad spending.

When did INSIDER TRADING become legal? It used to be a Federal crime with up to 25 years in prison. Mike Johnson said he needs to trade on inside information to pay his bills, like every other person in Congress. Law breaking Speaker of the House, third in line for the Presidency. CREEPY.

He Should Be Arrested Immediately For a Lot of Reasons….

A president's trading of securities for his personal account can in no way be argued to constitute activity that falls within the "outer perimeter" of his "official responsibilities." www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...

“Maybe later they’ll go to the drive-in together,” he hopes.

You're about to see headlines saying abortion pills can't be shipped. THAT IS NOT TRUE You can still get abortion pills by mail to all fifty states. Some providers will switch to miso-only, some will ship both mife & miso. I got into all of this when the federal court ruling first dropped:

Women's pathways into the justice system largely differ from those of men, often driven by what CCJ Policy Dir. Stephanie Kennedy described to @rlswrites.bsky.social for @nytopinion.nytimes.com as "crimes of survival." Can HI's first-of-its-kind Women's Court set an example for courts nationwide?

“Jeffrey Epstein was under house arrest for the molestation of underage girls at the exact time he was abusing me,” she told lawmakers.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) defended his decision to suspend his state’s ongoing primary election to redraw the congressional maps, even after 45,000 ballots had already been cast, saying that discarding those votes was “not a big” deal. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This year has been so insane that I haven’t painted in probably 5 or 6 months, but whew! It felt good to get back in my art room tonight. I wanted to try something tonal & mono-colored. Glad I tried it; probably won’t do it again.

If he wasn’t president, he’d be in prison.. Treason and corruption

In Opinion After the Virginia Supreme Court overturned a state redistricting vote, “the correct response is to fight back in the name of the people, who made their choice in a free and fair contest,” Jamelle Bouie writes. “Democrats must meet the moment. Or move over for people who will.”
