The Rocky Horror Picture Show opened on US screens 50 years ago today. Initially a major box office bomb, cult cinema outsiders and queer audiences quickly took up the film’s mantle and turned it into a unique and exciting way of engaging with the movies. Remember kids, don’t dream it—be it!!

I’m telling you, there’s just not enough outrage about the craven actions of Speaker Mike Johnson.

This is the way.

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

how long is this drivel going to drone on?

any talk about Russia or Israel or just the "greatest hits"

support indie media, get ICE docs

Shameful and cowardly. Trump wants the USDA to stop collecting data on food insecurity because he knows hunger will spike after his Big, Ugly Bill kicks millions of families off food assistance.

It's time to give local producers the independence they’ve earned, and I look forward to this commonsense bill passing in the House.

Alaa Abdel Fattah: Egypt's president pardons prominent activist Amazing news!!

Reporter: They did record Tom Homan accepting a bag of cash, and most FBI investigators view accepting cash in a secret meeting that is surreptitiously arranged as evidence of corrupt intent. But the investigation stalled as soon as the Trump appointees came in, and it was shuttered last month.

A man caged by ICE was found dead in his cell inside a Long Island jail 18 hours after arriving there.

This isn't "just" Shaheds on Poland It's jamming v/d Leyen and German general's planes It's bombing the EU HQ in Kyiv It's bombing Ukr civilians every day and night with 800+ drones and missiles AND THIS IS JUST LAST WEEK.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk: "Poland shot down 4 out of 19 drones that violated the country’s airspace overnight." and proceeds to deny it was an attack while downplaying the attack as "we're likely dealing with large-scale provocation."

Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s breezy suggestion that Americans who are roughed up by ICE can sue agents in federal court is drawing pushback from civil rights attorneys. They note that the Supreme Court’s conservative majority has made those cases nearly impossible to win in recent years.

Northern Ireland man from Lisburn kidnapped by Trump’s Ice raids because he “looked like a Mexican”. He had the correct visa, all his documents. He’s never been in trouble with police. Held in terrible conditions. A fellow captive couldn’t get his medication and dropped dead of a heart attack

At least 19 Russian drones crossed into Polish air space last night. This was not an accidental breach or a mistake.

I'm not an economist, but how's this supposed to work?? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

One of the "girlfriend" posts described doing joint massages with Ghislaine, which conflicts directly with Ghislaine's so-called proffer.

Hundreds of business people, policy analysts, and conservative advocates filled a Cleveland conference hall last week for the National Conservative Energy Summit. One major theme: the need for both the federal and local governments to remove increasingly high hurdles to building renewable energy.

McGovern: "You guys think you work for Trump ... Let me repeat -- every single Republican on the Rules Committee voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every single one. We heard last night that all Republicans want full transparency. But that's just not true."

The Justice Department should hire the best of the best individuals to represent the United States. Jared Wise doesn’t meet the standard. He incited violence against law enforcement officers and belongs nowhere near DOJ.

Dan Kleban, a co-founder of the Maine Beer Company, announced that he was running for Senate in Maine, joining an expanding Democratic primary field. He hopes his personal story — a college dropout from a middle-class family who went on to found a successful brewery — will appeal to voters.
