a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

Them: “you don’t need government supports like food or housing, that’s the church’s job!” The Church: “Shames a homeless woman, films her and turns her away” All she asked for was to sleep in their parking lot. Most of us want our tax dollars to pay for those who need help the most.

Incredible. Progressive challenger Katie Wilson now has a 91-vote lead in Seattle’s race for mayor. She had been steadily gaining on incumbent Bruce Harrell. There are about 8,000 ballots left to count.

Mike Johnson took time off from his extended House vacation to get booed alongside Trump and Hegseth at the Commanders game. #ProudBlue

🚨 Oh... look who's hanging around like a spider in the background on the far left at the Commanders game... Yep... it's none other than pedo-protector Mike Johnson having a let-them-eat-cake day while on his paid vacation.

“I no longer can bear to be restrained by what judges can say publicly or do outside the courtroom,” Judge Mark L. Wolf writes on his decision to resign from the federal bench. “President Trump is using the law for partisan purposes”: https://theatln.tc/MHDWR78I

“Newsom’s right — this isn’t leadership, it’s capitulation. Democrats should be fighting for healthcare, not negotiating away their spine for a symbolic vote. ‘Don’t bend the knee’ shouldn’t just be a slogan — it’s a warning about who’s actually serving the people.”

Even the senators who are retiring and think they won't have to face the wrath of furious Democratic voters should know that their last name is about to become so toxic that not even a goddamn nonprofit is going to want you on the board.

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

Karp is pathetic and cowardly and deserves every bit of opprobrium the rest of the bar can bestow upon him.

The two parties are not the same.

This is horrible. #Thugs

Scoop: “Trump Wine Hits Government Shelves” me, for @forbes.com 1/

This is the hype video the White House posted when they arrested Sandwich Guy, who was found not guilty today.

Not true obviously, but you save more lives when you stop a vessel and arrest those aboard, alive, if they're actually trafficking drugs. Instead of drowned bodies, you get useful intel about their criminal structures, their support networks, their finances, and future vessels.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

When you desperately want to starve Americans:

This just shocks the conscience: “Masked, heavily armed federal immigration agents arrested a US citizen in the parking lot of a Los Angeles Home Depot store, then entered his car and drove away with his toddler, who is also a US citizen, in the backseat.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

A clarification

Gorsuch finally starting to understand what they have unleashed

Bahahahahahaha

Did you know? Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people. Our database allows you to search for organizations and people that have paid them, reimbursed them for travel and given them gifts.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

oh my god they actually did it lmao

A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow. But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

Newsom’s social media team is on a level we’ve never seen before

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

The “Home Goods” White House: @governor.ca.gov

I like Presidents who know how to spell "tacos".

And they're living it up with dancing girls at Mar-a-Lago and drinking bubbly at the new Café de Rose Garden and hitting companies up for Trump's opulent ballroom and squeezing a 747 from Qatar and selling watches and crypto and sneakers and otherwise making a mint. It shouldn't be hard at all.

Say @mollyroberts.bsky.social? Am I right that so far DOJ has paid for 40 lunches for the jury in their bid to convict sandwich guy?

While throwing Great Gatsby parties for the billionaires and building a Marie Antoinette Ballroom the size of nearly two football fields, Trump steers his bulldozer at American families on SNAP benefits trying to eat in his Hunger Games economy.

"The Republican Party has created an entirely avoidable mess for itself. By taking a resolute stand in favor of making healthcare unobtainable for many Americans, and now threatening to starve children to achieve that perverse goal, they have made performative cruelty their political calling card."

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

I'm really sorry to have subjected all of you to all this NYC posting but it's really been the most breathtakingly ugly race, particularly given that Mamdani has the affect and manner of a Sesame Street character

worth noting that Mamdani did *not* take the bait

1) this guy will do anything to go on TV 2) I would actually watch Jimmy Fallon for this
