I’m very excited for this! On a summer evening in 1972, a pivotal generation of Harlem Renaissance legends gathered at Duke Ellington’s townhouse. The trailer for “Once Upon a Time in Harlem” is out:

Our entire lives we’ve seen the rich get richer, powerful criminals let off the hook, and the country become worse. Republicans have been the primary driver of this, but Democrats have repeatedly talked down to us and insisted we just need minor changes. It’s about damn time we were finally heard.

They're five minutes away from calling it the language of the unheard.

Just announced: OpenAI plans to lease a 9.2 gigawatt 100% fossil-fuelled data centre on Ohio. Its emissions will be between 20 - 37 MTCO2-e - somewhere between the total grid emissions of France -> Netherlands As much GHGs as 9.5 average coal plants. Will raise US total emissions by 0.5%

Steve Hilton, a Republican from Britain who is running for California governor, was a public champion of Brexit. Has one reporter asked him about his support for this massive failure of a policy, and how it reflects on his political judgement? Not that I could find.

Mike Johnson: Members of Congress are ENTITLED to insider stock trading because their salary is *only* $174k. Also Mike Johnson: Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security are *entitlement programs* and we will cut them next year. MAGA is getting rich selling out everyday Americans.

The next time you see Disney or any other large media conglomerate say they need to cut staff in order to get costs under control, just remember this headline.

What a concept - a president who doesn't get loudly booed (quite the contrary!) at sporting events. bluevirginia.us/2026/06/tues... h/t @cwebbonline.com

Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966. Measles eradicated in the US in 2000. Both are back because of this science denying administration.

Pretty ironic that for all the things that Mike Johnson hasn't seen & doesn't know, the one thing he "knows instinctively" is 100% completely false.

1/ Billionaires are buying fake local news sites, flooding swing states with partisan propaganda, and calling it journalism. A recent study just caught them red-handed shifting to paid Facebook targeting in election years. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

The actual leftist belief is that while HR itself is evil, the HR ladies are not

I find it curious that Mike Lee is now taking the position that the government should not be weighing in on matters of religious doctrine, despite joining an amicus brief in the Fifth Circuit that urged the court to uphold the Ten Commandments in public schools, now that he's on the receiving end.

Well done, @kylec.bsky.social

as many of you will remember, I dug into detailed local reporting about a different ICE victim every day of Lent to meditate on their stories, and when you read them all lined up some clear patterns start to emerge. the starkest to me was that every employee of GEO Group should be sent to The Hague

Hey, Mike, let me explain: Pete Hegseth (your SECDEF with white supremacy tattoos) follows a whack-job pastor named Wilson out of can’t-make-this-up👉🏻Moscow, Idaho. Lots of Mormons in Idaho, so when Wilson says his neighbors r deceived by the devil and worship satan, he’s talking about YOU

We wanted to understand what’s happening with the Strait of Hormuz. So we talked to five raw milk drinkers at an emergency room in Idaho.

After five months in detention at Delaney Hall, Emanuel Rodrigues was freed today. Emanuel has a rare, life-threatening condition that affects his mobility. He says he took a bad fall after a guard told him he wasn't allowed to use crutches.

A extremely dangerous maggot that eats human flesh called Screwworm has just been found for the first time since it was eradicated in 1966. This comes after Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs. apnews.com/article/scre...

Trump is now sitting back in his chair and dozing off

Senate Republicans just started a marathon voting session known as vote-a-rama in the Senate. Not to improve your life. Not to lower your costs. But to funnel $70 billion more to ICE and the abuses I saw at Delaney Hall. Not another dime.

Ivanka Trump didn't just buy an island amid a struggling economy, she "tangibly manifested" it

In 1933 Adolf Hitler shook down German industrialists for millions of Reichsmark to establish what he called the Adolf-Hitler-Spende der deutschen Wirtschaft—a slush fund he used to pay off Nazis whose violence got them into legal trouble. In 2026, Donald Trump is quietly doing the same thing.

No way!? You don’t say!?

"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...
