Good morning from Haarlem. #GoodMorningFromHaarlem

My mom died.

Moscow 🔥🔥

It's great to see these Republicans literally running away, and then Raphael Warnock gets the question and stops, knocks the dirt off his cleats, brings the bat back and ...

Watch as U.S. senators react to Trump saying he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation when making decisions about the war with Iran.

THERE’S A PATTERN Before Jen Kiggans was nodding along to “cotton-picking,” she was already trying to police how schools talk about racism. #JimCrowJen Anti-Black history panic👇🏽 As a state senator, Kiggans championed SB 570, a bill banning school’s honest discussion of race & racism in US history

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

After hearing Melania Trump try to give a speech in English, Senator Tommy Tuberville has a message for her.

Morning 😂.

Epstein Survivor hearing happening in West Palm Beach now. We stand with survivors.

Straight up Klan talk from the 1920s. The reference to Islam is the only thing that would mark this as something from our own era.

❗️❗️Shaheds are flying very low. Heading towards Vinnytsia/Khmelnytskyi regions.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

Wet woodland supports a rich diversity of woodland and wetland species. Its striking to see yellow flag iris in the ground layer.

Ouch: “Vivek Ramaswamy’s Republican primary opponent Casey Putsch surprisingly endorsed the Democratic nominee for OH Gov Amy Acton after losing the primary to Vivek last week: “She is garbage. But I’d rather have a pile of garbage than the hell that is Vivek.”

Well that didn't take along. A reform councillor who was only elected in Sunderland on Thursday has been suspended for being a racist. Urgh. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
