Rocky is on a little weekend break at the beach with his new family. Look at his little digging at the end. Apparently he is using his older brother Coconut to help get around by following him ❤️

Notice how more Iranian missiles and drones are getting through? This is no different than what we are seeing in Russia and Ukraine - interceptors are a finite resource, and modern militaries simply don’t have the ability to defend against sustained swarms for long periods.

Trump is building a White House helipad. He sought no approvals. Such projects usually require a developer to navigate a complex web of zoning laws, airspace regulations, and environmental impact studies — while negotiating with town councils and fighting off community pushback.

A federal judge just spent 56 pages taking apart Trump's favorite scheme—then reported his own lawyers to the bar. Her name is Kathleen Williams. Remember it. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-had-...

And never forget he pardoned them all. Every last one of them. #Insurrectionists #Traitors

While Trump continues to lie about the 2020 election, the motive behind this address was to rig the election right before our eyes. His speech was the latest escalation in a fight Trump has been waging for more than a year. newsletters.democracydocket.com/trumps-speec...

This Is The "Miller" Parasite, That Infected Our Lettuce........

Every time they make it harder for foreign students to study here, they're just jacking up the tuition costs for American students and robbing America of incredible new talent too.

NEW: A second ex-wife of David Brouillette, the ICE agent who killed Joan Durán Guerrero in Maine, Lucinda Brouillette, issued a statement this morning. "If you were to ask me whether I believe David Brouillette is capable of this level of extreme violence, my answer is unequivocally yes." /

🔥 Russia’s “deep rear” logistics just got absolutely smoked by Ukrainian long-range strikes — Moscow & Tambov regions, drone component factories, and an oil facility turned into parking lots. Sea of Azov & Crimea got the mid-range special too. Ukraine’s drone warriors don’t miss. Cry harder, Putin.

Daily Kos Staff Cartoon: We’ve got it handled by Clay Bennett

The stupidity is off the charts here.

NEWS: Iran says it has officially exited the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding. Deputy FM Gharibabadi announced that Iran has suspended all commitments under the agreement, citing that the US has "trampled on and halted" its own commitments. "We are no longer implementing them," he stated.

I have family in Arkansas. Education is optional although they call it homeschooling. Too many families need their children working and if they get by without an education, their kids don’t need one. And exactly why teaching critical thinking skills must be a mandatory part of public education.

7/ In fact, in the three years of Arkansas’ EFA program, the state has intervened only at two schools, records show. And it’s never permanently blocked a school from taking public money, even at the Delta Institute.

6/ Although Arkansas set up a hotline and email address for people to report suspected fraud or misuse of EFA funds, parents and educators told ProPublica their concerns were ignored. Here’s what happened when a teacher for a different microschool contacted the state:

5/ What’s more, anyone is free to open a private school. In Morrison’s case, she wasn’t a licensed educator and had never run a school. But she presented herself as an expert in autism and ADHD. “I am the best,” she texted one parent.

4/ But even after hundreds of new private schools and microschools opened in Arkansas, the state remained largely hands-off. Some of its only requirements: conducting fire drills, keeping immunization records and having an American flag and a flagpole.

3/ The rapid growth of private schools is happening nationwide. We analyzed data from 13 states and found at least 1,500 more private schools than there were 5 years ago. In several states, all or nearly all students pay tuition with taxpayer dollars: propub.li/4w9rOol

2/ The Delta Institute for the Developing Brain was founded by Mary “Tracy” Morrison in 2024, after Arkansas decided to allow families to use public money for private school tuition through a voucher-style program called Education Freedom Accounts. It’s far from the only one.

THREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself. Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object. How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵

Time for Dems to play hardball and replace McConnell. He certainly would have done so

Mamdani left soccer field lights on all night…..the lights usually go off at 10pm. They set a camera up and guess what they saw?? Residents playing soccer with their friends ALL NIGHT. One man said how much he loved it because his friends work late and can’t get to the field before 10pm.

Mitch McConnell is dead. Prove me wrong.

Bernie's Correct, Again......

JD Vance is BRAGGING about wasting YOUR tax dollars

Borrowing from the Boss: He stares at his phone into the night, with the eyes of one who hates for just being born.

Meetings with victims and survivors should not be this rare or difficult. It is an opportunity to show them they are seen and heard. And if you actually listen, you might even learn something of value to the case.

My wife offered us to dog sit this weekend. 3 Golden Retrievers instead of 2 this weekend and it’s chaos.

There's more proof that Trump is a pedophile than any election was stolen… Think about it. 😎✨

#Poetry #Painting #Morning I start the morning gently In a quiet sort of way Just grateful for the time And another beautiful day 🎨 Unknown

A very wise statement.

I don't see a problem here.

Imagine if a woman president spent most her time raving and crying about an election she lost 6 years ago. Emotional. Unstable. Hysterical. Unfit to lead.

Hunter Biden responded to Donald Trump’s speech with a statement noting that Trump’s own newly declassified documents undermine years of false claims about the Biden family:

My baby in happy mood 😺🐾#Catsbeauty

Having a short visit to the beach apres hike.

Whoever the US president was in 2020 must have been a real piece of shit, allowing such things to happen and hiding it from the American people. Thank God Trump is exposing his incompetence and treachery.

@fetterman.senate.gov Why don't you just leave the Senate instead of the party? You are NOT wanted in the Democratic party or ANYWHERE! You are a disappointment to your constituents & your country! Don't bother running for reelection, You have 0 support You are a danger to democracy & your family!

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) got two phone calls from different agencies suggesting that Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) had died, the New Republic relayed. This week, Beshear spoke with veteran newswoman Katie Couric, (cont.) www.msn.com/en-ca/news/o...?

Research has shown that signature matching leads to disproportionately high levels of rejected ballots for voters of color, as well as those who are new, young, old, politically unaffiliated or disabled. Sometimes, signature-matching efforts disqualify more legitimate than illegitimate ballots.

Here's the most appropriate *immediate* response to the nakedly Hitlerian speech Stephen Miller just gave yesterday (of course, *long-term* prosecution and incarceration will be necessary for all the premeditated, legally cognizable harms, including deaths, he's provably caused):
