This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇 Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it. Our new @rollingstone.com piece based on our new book MASTER PLAN. Get the book at LeverNews.com/book

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

so I gather this is a lot of people's first middle east cease fire.

"The most effective means of helping the American people is for the government to actually defend their labor rights, their ability to have healthy communities and environments, and share in the prosperity they help to build." Read more from @andreabeaty.bsky.social in this week’s newsletter.

When it became absolutely clear the cease fire was doomed.

City hall is fully ablaze and the fire department is engaged in an endless discussion of whether or not turning the sirens on and driving quickly to the site of the fire would send the wrong message to the public and may in fact be counterproductive.

What a humiliating state of affairs for the US to have a leader like this.

FT has the blow-by-blow which US media outlets were incapable of reporting with any accuracy. Note how Trump is little more than a sock puppet for Putin, doing his bidding... so the FT's read out is almost identical to the report in Kremlin TV, which in turn was based on Trump's report to Putin.

Dutch intelligence suspends sharing arrangements with the US after concluding that high level intel was routinely being shared by the White House with their friends in the Kremlin. www.volkskrant.nl/binnenland/n...

Did AI tell you this post was a good idea r/s

mini chainsaws! motorbikes! this movie would fuck so hard!

Louvre guards are asleep, post memes

Vibe shift in the culture towards earnestness

Being disabled is woke, didn't you hear

“oh here, i have it queued up on this tablet for you already” how i expect reporters to reply to the “havent seen it” replies from republicans

In a third case, agents grabbed and handcuffed a woman on her way to work who was caught up in a chaotic raid on street vendors. In a complaint filed against the government, she described being held for more than two days, without being allowed to contact her lawyer.

this is AI. so actually I have a couple notes.

or, shorter, fascism is seen as a natural default by much of the media and political class.

I've seen others point this out too, but...the issue is that white rural male voters are seen as the volkish core of the nation, and so Trump's coalition is viewed as uniquely legitimate. insulting those voters is insulting america; shitting on anyone else is celebrating america. 1

To his credit, Jonathan Karl was ready for Johnson's bullshit and called him out in real time.

Vance spent his formative years on 4chan and it shows

Pretty much every single one of these new government accounts is posting rage bait. It's possible (like 100% guaranteed) they are trying to provoke people here on purpose, so don't fall for it. Blockity block block block.

👀 someone calling out big law firm complicity and cowardice

a billion dollars in cash but you can only eat bananas for five years

“Bill Ackman is a Jerk. He doesn’t even live in NYC…. This is called voting. Since when do we not let people vote? Billionaires determine the next mayor? If they don’t like it they can leave.” 🔥 @CurtisSliwa on the rich trying to pay him to drop out to help Trump’s buddy Cuomo

About 13 officers in a crowd of community members and protesters were exposed to the tear gas. This is the second time CPD officers have been gassed by ICE while trying to work with them. The move violates a judge’s order telling federal agents to rein in excessive force. trib.al/TiKgLI5

every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

this is a tacit admission that the administration is not confident in the legal arguments it would have to make in order to detain them, which should also cast into question the legality of the operation in the first place

George Santos, a man who lied about his mother dying in 9/11... ....was just sprung from jail by Trump, who lied about seeing Muslims cheering 9/11.

The US Flag, Declaration of Independence, and Constitution don't just belong to the right, they belong to ALL OF US!

My favorite part of Jurassic Park is when they're driving by the T-Rex and it's just not there and Dr. Grant gets mad and hits the window because that really is 80% of what it's like to go to the zoo

Wow, lots of American flags and peace . Sure doesn’t seem like people who hate America you absolute embarrassment Speaker Johnson

Love seeing this

The antifa terrorist marxists are out

@hollyanderson.bsky.social pleased to inform you there is at least one person at Harrisburg no kings with a sign reading “AMPHIFA”

Times Square

Murphy at #nokings: "The president of the United States during a shutdown, or even when the government is open, does not have the power to send masked men into our cities and pull off the streets our peaceful neighbors, and throw them into the back of vans and into prisons."

they are absolute man-children

The Recording Industry Association of America’s mid-year report did not name which Latin artists led the charge, but rapper-singer Bad Bunny’s music has dominated Billboard’s Latin charts all year.

The people running this country have zero respect for the Constitution, laws, rules of ethics and professional responsibility, traditions or norms. They are lawless gangsters drunk on power and nobody in their party outside the admin has the courage or integrity to stop them.

I'd kind of thought that there was no way the Epstein files could be, like, *that* bad but then the speaker of the house dramatically refused to swear somebody in for a month to keep them quiet and the billion year old King of England disinherited the guy eighth from the throne for being in them

This is actually a documentary, it's just a few years early

I hope that other world democracies are noting very closely how ours is failing with increasing rapidity, and in doing so are fortifying their own to ensure it does not fall prey to the same tactics, like an entire political party being party to treason.

This sounds familiar.

Congress shouldn't immobilize itself to protect pedophiles

Look at this garbage human

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

It’s simple statistic. What are the odds of one party winning ALL the districts in ALL the swing states by numbers that prevent triggering a recount? They’re infinitesimal. Add to that the defeat of Lichtman’s keys goes against 180 years of data. And the culprits knew jail awaited if they lost.
