"While they're standing in the welfare lines Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation Wasting time in the unemployment lines Sitting around waiting for a promotion Don't you know Talking about a revolution? It sounds like a whisper Poor people gonna rise up And get their share"

This administration has to go! This poor nun, she looks so traumatized after being taken by ICE. #Pinks #USDemocracy

Donald Trump declared making more than 22,000 stock transactions in 2025, according to the FT analysis. His immediate predecessor, Joe Biden, made 13 transactions over four years. In his first term, Trump made 517. ft.trib.al/ld3ItuQ

This is pretty shitty of the GOP. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Stupid is as stupid does:

President Trump answered criticisms that he is profiting from the presidency, saying that he's profiting because of the stock market and because he has "a lot of money and a lot of cash."

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seems to have acceded to a court order and shut down the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database for use as a voter registration list citizenship checker. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Hey Texans: this your Congressman? He's telling you he doesn't GAF about you, and implies you're probably lazy if you can't afford lobster and steak. He's retiring. 😀 Vote Marquette Greene-Scott. 🗳️ ballotpedia.org/Marquette_Gr... #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica

These idiots and criminals want to throw people away. Fuck em

FFS, stop the fvcking attacks on women!!! Are enough of us angry enough yet? I am!!! I’ve had it. So what, a pregnant women coming here on vacation. Not permitted? Bullshit! This is madness!! #Pinks

Wow -- one of the climbers atop the Empire State Building appears to have gotten down on one knee and proposed to the other

It's really important that Trump pay the full $83 million to E. Jean Carroll for the defamation verdict for one really big reason. A rapist like trump can't just harass his victim publicly after a rape conviction. Multiple lawyers warned Trump about this and he ignored them.

Trump's new financial disclosures show $1.4 billion in crypto earnings, secret Micron stock buys before touting a "$250 million investment," a billion-dollar Qatari jet, and more. Your midday update is here:

Former Virginia Rep Elaine Luria (she’s running again) joins me to discuss public service, Democrats messaging, & the issue that’s flying under the radar as SCOTUS finishes up: what’s going on with Bill Pulte as the acting DNI. If you missed us live, click here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Here’s an example we can all follow.

Today, our friend Jay USAF Major Jason Watson read his oath to the Constitution and demanded that Congress do its job to IMPEACH this President and cabinet. He was arrested on the Capitol steps. #DOOR @defendersofourrepublic.org @removalcoalition.bsky.social @citizensimpeachment.com

Those of us with common sense and intelligence know he'll always be a sex offender, regardless of what the worthless Supreme Court says about it.🙄

Data center 90s

Are they gonna make women pee in a cup at the airport? Or just eyeball it based on her body?

The Shadow Docket: Pro Publica finds that the Supreme Court is deciding more consequential rulings than ever before in largely unsigned orders with little to no explanation of how they voted or the reasons why. We have a SCOTUS that thinks like Roger Taney but is afraid to publish its Dred Scott.

250 pardons for 250 times $5 million equals…French Revolution

The Supreme Court handed Trump two losses this week, four NJ cities beat back the deportation machine, and polling in “safe” states is shifting. All the receipts together:

People connected to the Trump White House are using their connections to advocate for pardons — in exchange for a fee: "It is general knowledge in our practice that for $2 million, you can have a pardon," one prominent white-collar defense attorney said.

Kleptocracy

Next year is the year of GOP cuts to Medicare and Social Security per Mike Johnson. It’s in Project 2025. Also, they wish to privatize the US mail, and follow endless plans to make more money for billionaires. I won’t do the analysis today, but who do you think pays the price?

I need one one for my dog!! 😬🐶❤️ Good morning everyone

“I do think people are beginning to understand that this Court is really problematic and maybe even anti-democratic in certain ways.” @profmmurray.bsky.social joins @preetbharara.bsky.social & me to discuss this SCOTUS term on a new @cafedotcom.bsky.social Insider episode: cafe.visitlink.me/NTvc44

The most corrupt "president" in history, Donny Trumpy has made over$1,000,000,000 in one year. So he's getting richer while 90% of us are getting poorer. This should be a major issue, maybe the only issue in the midterms.

10s of 1000s of Russian trolls - posing as USA MAGA, OR as “Leftist”, LGBTQ, Minorities - push extreme “Left wing“ Marxism to divide the Left - eg, they convinced 2015 Sanders voters that HRC was a corrupt RW Corporatist; and that Biden/Harris did Gaza? when their Dem platforms were near identical.

THIS 👇 HERE.......

He says the case is fake and he never met E Jean Carroll before. What a bald faced lie. He just can’t help himself but lie all day about everything.

Your hand-picked Supreme Court said No. There's nowhere else to go. This is not about the United States: it's about YOU being a rapist. Full stop. You tried that "never met her" line on the jury and they said you were lying. You'll not overturn the entire judicial system to weasel out of this!

A massive Georgia data center drained nearly 30 million gallons of water, sparking outrage among local residents asked to conserve water during a drought. Residents of Fayetteville, Georgia, first noticed something was wrong when their home water pressure mysteriously plummeted.

This man makes me wish I lived in Georgia so I could vote to reelect him to the Senate. I guess I'll just have to wait to vote for Jon Ossoff @ossoff.bsky.social when, hopefully, the Dems draft him to run for President! 🇺🇸 #AwesomeOssoff2028

It’s kinda fun watching him age like a banana in the glove box.

This is interesting. The article mentions someone named Manny Rutinel who I think we need to support. He’s up against a GOP member who appears vulnerable. Let me know what you think. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/...
