“Babies Are Freezing to Death in Gaza. Israeli Policy and the World’s Inaction Are to Blame”

Manufacturing culture wars allows Republicans to sound faux populist without having to address the practical problems faced by most Americans — lack of paid sick leave, unaffordable child care and elder care, stagnant wages, and inadequate housing. Don’t fall for it.

On Sunday night Bari Weiss, the editor of The Free Press and the new head of CBS News, abruptly stopped a forthcoming 60 Minutes report on the torture endured by migrants in the brutal El Salvadora...

This was a very strange thing for him to lie about

Remember when Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump’s lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, wrote an op-ed trying to justify having sex with kids? Seems relevant now.

Now that Bari Weiss pulled a segment telling the truth about Trump's deportations to let Stephen Miller have his say (i.e. spread propaganda), it's a good time to check out our deep dive into Miller's real worldview and agenda, which doesn't pull any punches: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

via @kaitlancollins.bsky.social One of the Epstein survivors, Danielle Bensky, says he threatened to withhold care from her mother, who had a brain tumor, and leveraged her brain scans against her while he abused her.

i suspect there’s some truth to this and also why we should be EXTREMELY skeptical that senate dems as currently constituted would ditch the filibuster should they ever have a trifecta again

The Senators who caved to Trump and MAGA

This is DEPRAVED

An 84-year old grandfather, leaning on his walker, was knocked down by ICE last night. Unprovoked, wasn't blocking a driveway. His 84 yo wife also got knocked down and suffered a concussion

Georgia’s Medicaid work requirements program spent two times as much on administrative costs as on health care costs — while preventing thousands of eligible Georgians from accessing health care. Say it with me: Medicaid work requirements don’t work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzMqYttKv1c

For some context, we could have made the monthly child tax credit that cut child poverty by 40% permanent for $100 billion a year. The return on investment would have been $15 per $1.

Protest in Des Moines after ICE detains superintendent

This is a clear effort to harass and intimidate a Democratic candidate before the election. 2026 will be even worse.

“It's just a huge drain,” said Cynthia Vinson, who left the National Institutes of Health after 26 years. “All of the work that I have done in my career is being flushed down the toilet.”

BREAKING NYT:   Trump just fired a U.S. attorney who insisted on following a court order.   Michele Beckwith, the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento, was fired hours after she reminded a Border Patrol chief to abide by court-ordered restrictions on immigration raids.

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski cast the deciding vote to keep the Epstein files sealed. We dug into why—and uncovered a tangled web linking her to Ghislaine Maxwell, her husband, a powerful donor, and big money in Alaska. Go to the LINK in BIO to read the full investigation.

The Trump administration ordered a famous Civil War-era war image removed from a National Park Service site in Georgia as it moves to promote what it considers a more positive view of slavery.

Last month, the Trump regime abruptly halted construction on a nearly completed $6 billion, 65-turbine wind farm off the coast of New England, known as Revolution Wind. The holdup has put thousands out of work and raises big questions about not just the future of this project...

Good reporting, which also includes this detail: "Even after it became evident that ICE had made a mistake and had caused an international incident, the agency wanted to put the South Koreans in chains when transporting them to the airport to depart the country, according to Kuck and media reports"

“With this move, they’re taking away the practical and material capacity of the federal government to do the basic elements of climate policymaking,” said Joseph Goffman, who led the E.P.A.’s air office during the Biden administration.

I’ve been at these protests because I feel like our leaders don’t care. I do. This feels ghoulish to ask, but if you want a congresswoman who stands up to ICE, donate to my campaign today. We can’t win without you: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-bluesky

You know who was also a young husband and father—not to mention ex-Marine—who died, not attacking others to make himself rich and powerful, but to save the lives of others? David Rose, the officer killed by the anti-vax domestic terrorist who attacked the CDC. apnews.com/article/deka...

Charlie Kirk fans threaten HBCUs because they want to lash out at Charlie’s enemies, and theirs, and they’re conceding that means black people. Not ONLY, but definitely.

Threats were just called in at the DNC and HBCUs across America. We must come together, and with one voice overcome the forces of hatred that seek to divide us. Trump is stoking the flames of hatred and violence but we can’t succumb to it.

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.
