Whether it's Hillary Clinton sending emails to her staff saying "please print" or Donald Trump sending letters to Jeffrey Epstein alluding to child rape, both candidates sent some questionable messages to people that they knew.

US citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents children would be coming to get bus, lawyers say

Which party controls the presidency, House and the Senate? It depends who you ask.

The situation in America is not great. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

This is not "de-escalation"—this is state violence. The actions being taken are far from calming the situation; instead, they exacerbate tensions and demonstrate a disturbing disregard for human rights.

Every major Democrat has millions in their campaign account. The threat to democracy is big enough that we need to be funding mobilization and messaging right now - not just banking money for the next election. If we don't build right now, there might not be another election.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

The left says Trump is eroding America's democratic norms. But America never had any democratic norms, because it has always been a Republic.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

“Trump’s attack on elections has only just begun…We must protect them at all costs. If we succeed, we will likely survive this dark period with democracy weakened but intact. If we fail, we may not have a democracy to come home to,” Marc Elias writes.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

according to an immigration attorney representing several arrested workers, ICE agents chose to arrest the Korean workers to fulfill the quota of 3,000 daily immigrant arrests set by Stephen Miller www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Since the very first assholes appeared in the assholiverse, throughout the lengthy, destructive history of assholery, we have achieved the apex, the apogee, a government almost exclusively by, of and for assholes, the first truly pure assholocracy the U.S. has ever seen.

Report Says Colorado School Shooting Suspect Was Fascinated with Mass Shootings, White Supremacy and Neo-Nazi Views | Since December, Desmond Holly, 16, had been active on an online forum where users watch videos of killings and violence, mixed in with content on white supremacism and antisemitism.

News just broke that the Venezuelan boat that Trump struck was not, in fact, headed to the U.S. with drugs. But this story is disturbing for other reasons, and you need to know why. It's another sign of Trump's growing lawlessness. And it's bad counter-narcotics strategy.

The birthday book is clear: there was a cabal of rich, powerful people (mostly men) whose fondest memories with Jeffrey Epstein involved trafficking young girls for sex—trading them like baseball cards—and one of them is the current American president. You’re cool with this or you’re not. That’s it.

PRO PUBLICA: “.. at least three of Trump’s Cabinet members call multiple homes their primary residences on mortgages. * Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer .. * Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy .. * EPA administrator Lee Zeldin @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Secretary Kennedy is a hazard to the health of the American people.

Schumer is out of his fucking mind. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

FLAG: Missouri's governor just called a special session of the state legislature to pass a gerrymandered congressional map in favor of Republicans. Just like what Greg Abbott did in Texas.

MAGA Republicans are sniveling cowards. Watch Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL) run out the back door at his town hall when confronted by his constituents asking why ICE detainees aren't getting due process. Their lies and lawlessness are being rejected even in red states like Alabama. #OnYourSide

This is kidnapping. Outright criminal kidnapping. www.latimes.com/california/s...

We are very far off the cliff here folks. 🇺🇸

Just casually laying the groundwork for violent repression of the opposition

On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout. On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar. This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media. Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵

Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.

Trump to Zelenskyy: "During the war you can't have elections? So let me just see -- three and a half years from me, if we happen to be in a way with somebody, no more elections. That's good."

SCOOP: We filed a Freedom of Information Act Request and received hundreds of pages of documents about the system access DOGE members Edward Coristine and Donald Park received at the Small Business Administration. But nested in there was something even bigger... www.wired.com/story/edward...

Just to reiterate: What this administration is doing right now is orders of magnitude more dangerous for academic freedom and free speech than anything the right has spent the last 30 years complaining about.

NEW: Trump’s DoJ inspector General “lost” one of the whistleblower complaints against Emil Bove from May and they didn’t find it until *yesterday* - the day of Bove’s confirmation. DoJIG (Horowitz) was one of only two IGs Trump didn’t fire whistlebloweraid.org/new-whistleb...

Welp. We suck. www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

OH LOOK: In response to my FOIA request for the Epstein grand jury materials, the DOJ says the release of the material IS NOT URGENT, despite Trump saying it is! (FYI you can support our legal action here: www.nationalsecuritylaw.org/donate )

😳

BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files. As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed. Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.

@raskin.house.gov: "The grand jury files relate ONLY to the prosecution of Epstein himself for what HE did and Maxwell for what SHE did, but it doesn't include the whole universe of other people that we're interested in... it's a complete distraction."

Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs”, per a report from Human Rights Watch

Epstein victim Maria Farmer: “Ivana was [Ghislaine’s] best friend… She’d drive by schools… get [girls’] phone numbers… Everybody knew what they were doing.” To shut her up, “they gave me one of those cheap bracelets Ivana was selling on QVC.”

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

FOX: What is stopping the administration from just redacting any sensitive information in the Epstein files and putting out what is appropriate? LEAVITT: A judge would have to approve it. That's out of the president's control.

The Epstein stuff is so bad they’re releasing information about Trump‘s health for the first time. Can’t even trust that either.

Trump takes questions on Epstein

Not a good look.

Lieu: I also note the Epstein files that have already been released show that Trump is all over the files. He’s in multiple pictures with Epstein. There’s multiple videos of Trump with Epstein. There are plane logs of Trump on Epstein’s plane.
