In the same week that he became the world's first trillionaire, he spent hours on X whipping up a racist mob in Belfast, a week after doing the same in Southampton. In effect, he's sending a message to lawmakers and regulators who may want to rein in his companies.

we noticed a little something: after Republicans have given ICE and CBP a quarter trillion dollars through reconciliation, they're still trying to add another $28.4 billion through the budget process prospect.org/2026/06/11/r...

Over 80% of Michiganders want to stop huge corporate donors from buying lawmakers with millions in political contributions. I'm the only MI07 candidate not taking money from Wall Street and tech executives. In Congress, I'll work to keep money out of politics at the federal level.

Welcome to FIFA World Cup Iraq's World Cup striker, Aymen Hussein, was held and questioned for nearly seven ​hours at Chicago's O'Hare airport after arriving with the squad ‌early on Saturday, an Iraqi sporting official said.

for reference and comparison: conservatively, the United States spent two-thirds of that figure in the *first week* of the war on Iran. it's genuinely difficult to overstate how many world-historical own goals US politics has accumulated over the past few decades

We are well over 200 murders in Trump & Hegseth’s killing spree. No trial. No evidence. No defense. Just extrajudicial executions.

"The students who cannot read a 20-pg article today are the voters who will not be able to read a bill or the jurors who cannot follow a closing argument, tomorrow." The most important argument against AI in education is that it's incompatible with a free society. www.chronicle.com/article/my-s...

The House is voting on a War Powers Resolution to stop Trump's war in Iran. Americans have made it clear that they want no part in this reckless war. Last month, Republicans pulled down the vote because they knew we had the support to pass it. Tonight, let's get it done.

From @dropsitenews.com

Hi! I’m Alexis, and I’m running for U.S. Congress to represent #MD06. I’m a technologist, finance nerd, former regulator, and queer mom of 2. I’m not afraid of holding bullies accountable & my experience makes me uniquely qualified to do just that in Congress.

Want to learn more about the latest Bernie-backed candidate, @wewill2026.bsky.social? You can hear a lengthy excerpt from a recent @leftanchor.bsky.social episode podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

A win for the Philadelphia left: Chris Rabb has prevailed in the open primary to replace the retiring incumbent Dwight Evans, who was supporting a competitor. Rabb is a shoo-in for the general election and to join Congress.

AND THE AP CALLS IT, AOC BACKED PROGRESSIVE CHRIS RABB WINS THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY FOR PA-03, A MASSIVE VICTORY FOR THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT.

Yep: "Corporations simply are a legal creation of the state, everywhere they exist, by definition. The new law simply states that corporations doing business in Hawaii do not have the power to engage in local, state, or federal political campaigns, that that was not one of the powers enumerated."

this is absolutely worth remembering: when the abolitionists began the struggle against the slave power, the slave power looked unbeatable. they fought anyways--a long, difficult, often thankless struggle. they fought anyways.

Tlaib is introducing a War Powers Resolution to prohibit US military activities or support for Israeli military activities in Lebanon (where Israel has displaced over 1,000,000 civilians and systematically ethnically cleansed entire villages in the south) and Gottheimer decides to lie and say this:

I firmly believe that if if you are not a current student and not employed by a school and you feel the need to pontificate about easy grades you should, and must, be stuffed into a locker.

What is “copablanda”? I made a video to explain the new term I coined

In his 2nd Inaugural, Abraham Lincoln delivered what might be the most devastating rebuttal to the Both Sides lie in history. "Both parties deprecated war but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came."
