Booker: Do you all know that they were constantly chipping away? I was told we would have 13 minutes for questioning. Then they brought it down to 10. Ten minutes of questioning for the confirmation of the highest law enforcement official in the land has never been done before.

I completely understand 1930-40s Germany now.

Yup … technology is not all it’s cracked up to be … #cdnpoli

"The first Reconstruction collapsed not only because President Andrew Johnson undermined it, but because a war-weary country lacked the will to see it through. Democrats cannot let exhaustion produce the same failure this time."

🚨A person is dead following an ICE-involved shooting in Biddeford, Maine. We are awaiting more details.

www.nytimes.com/2026/07/06/u... They are intentionally killing the American people to make way for robots that don't need healthcare.

Whenever MAGA calls for civility in a time of tragedy, we always know they’re full of crap Stephen Miller’s wife proves the point perfectly by mocking Joe Biden when he sets aside his differences with Lindsey Graham to honor the friend he once knew in the Senate MAGA are truly despicable people

Bravo! 💥

Whistleblowers say Trump rushed renovations to finish in time to receive his FIFA Peace Prize there. “In the process, longstanding federal contracting controls were set aside, no-bid contracts were awarded, and superficial cosmetic work was performed that staff warned would have to be redone.”

Todd Blanche fired the DOJ pardon attorney for refusing to restore gun rights to convicted domestic abuser Mel Gibson…as a favor for a friend of Trump Then he sent US Marshals to her home to intimidate her into silence This man cannot be AG Full story @contrariannews.org 👇 -TN

Mitch McConnell has consistently demonstrated questionable integrity. He is often referred to as "Moscow Mitch."

Three witnesses were in the van with Lorenzo Salgado Araujo Per their attorney: no ramming, no danger to agents & no reasonable basis to open fire Unreasonable force opens these agents to liability This is becoming another national outrage & it should be👇 -TN

EXCLUSIVE: Here is where things stand so far in the fight for free and fair elections this November: Active Voting Rights Cases: 159 Active Anti-Voting Cases: 82 Active Pro-Voting Cases: 73 Active DOJ Lawsuits: 32 102 Victories 44 Losses www.democracydocket.com

I’m not buying these alleged Mitch McConell phone calls with GOP colleagues. The GOP has zero credibility. We need a picture of McConnell holding up a copy of today’s newspaper.

The “Arc De Trump” isn’t a memorial, it’s a disgrace. Vietnam veterans are suing to stop its construction, and VoteVets is standing with them.

The sheer injustice in Houston is sickening. Lorenzo was just going to work to support his family when his life was stolen by ICE. Seeing his father on his knees, consumed by raw, agonizing grief, is a heartbreaking reminder of the human cost of systemic violence. He deserves justice.

Trump is the ultimate display of why populism doesn't work. You need leaders who know what the fuck they're doing. The Trump administration is evil too, of course. But it's stunning how deeply incompetent they are and yet rule the most powerful country in the world.

Why is ICE surging Seattle? Was it because they had a great world cup response. It was so much better than his stupid fair.

This is why we read books.

Big crowd this morning for David Hearn, who got arraigned for felony destruction of Reflecting Pool property. He was released on his own recognizance. It's a bullshit case and the court knows it - if there's a trial, it won't be until February

I cannot tell you how upsetting this is for me and so many others who have lived through the continued senseless and random extra-judicial kidnappings of our neighbors. Stand strong Seattle. We are with you.

It’s crazy that Americans have such a fucked government that we can’t even get a confirmation if one of our elected representatives is alive or not

I think @govandybeshear.bsky.social should just appoint a Dem to fill McConnell’s seat. It would force proof of life, and the state law that stripped him of that power should be challenged in court. I’m sure Thune would refuse to seat the appointee, but I think it’s a fight worth having. BE BOLD!

funny how the cutting edge of the far right is just regurgitated slaveholder agitprop from 1850.

Lawrence O’Donnell dismantles the myth of Graham Platner. And warning signs were there all along. Information was publicly available, but ignored. Maybe the U.S. Senate shouldn’t be someone’s first political job. No public office. No real vetting. Hype isn’t a substitute for scrutiny. 🧵

WE FOUND THE ELECTION FRAUD‼️ Ken Paxton may have violated Texas election law by voting from an address where he allegedly didn’t live. Under Texas law, knowingly voting while ineligible is a second degree felony, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Paxton warned Texans not to lie about their address to vote. Then voted six times from an address he'd already moved out of. Somebody call the tip line on the guy who runs the tip line.

The President of the United States is attacking a group of kindergarteners because of the clothes they wore to school.

Said another way: "Trump: I’m racist."

Strange. I rarely hear the news talking about fascism or kleptocracy, the real threats we’re currently facing.

🇳🇴 Norway manager Stale Solbakken: “Bad bad bad bad bad decision by FIFA that will hurt the World Cup. Not good for the sport. If they beat Belgium it will always have that extra thing about it. What happens with the next Red Card?” (From @bbcsport)

This is a really moving and thoughtful interview

Trump let crypto fraudsters off the hook. Meanwhile, he cashed in on crypto business to the tune of $1.4 billion. The Grifter-in-Chief knows no bounds.

By his own admission, he had no idea what a red card was, but he knew -- better than the ref, better than FIFA -- that what Balogun did did not meet the standards for getting a red card, which, again, he had never heard of before. This is like watching JD lecture the pope, but more corrupt.

Chris Wright holds two degrees from MIT, so the real question is whether he’s a truly smart guy who’s now pretending to be stupid for political reasons, of if he’s just an actually dumb guy who cheated his way through school.

Legendary racial justice activist Bryan Stevenson says today’s narrative struggle over the history of slavery and lynching in America is a generational civil rights battle. Hear why on this week’s special episode of @revealnews.org.

Tennessee is a permitless carry state.

The USA is now hoping that corruption helps it in the World Cup. It truly is Donald Trump’s country.

He chose trump over the constitution long ago...

It’s a really funny runner how every issue in American history that apologists claim “no one” knew was wrong has a corresponding Quaker going “this is wrong”

Add them to the ever-growing list of entities whose government contracts deserve thorough scrutiny, and any funds obtained unlawfully should be recovered and returned to the American people. Happy 250 birthday! #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

Since when did it become a military felony to stand up for our democracy and against fascism in the United States of America? #MajorJasonWatson #FreedomOfSpeech #July42026 #ProudBlue #Pinks #DV1

This guy was able to speak to him as he was preparing his peaceful act of protest & it sums up what Maj Watson was hoping to achieve. I cannot stress this enough, WE are now the movement that carries this forward, it is up to us if this succeeds or falls. Do we want to fail this remarkable hero?

#fourthofJuly #America250 #DV1 #ProudBlue Nothing screams freedom quite like a bunch of basement-dwelling Mayo Militias marching in Amazon-prime khakis. Bro, it’s July 4th, we literally celebrate defeating tyrannical rulers, not auditioning to be their loyal subjects. Absolute clowns. 🤡💀 #July4th

This blew my mind. Some of the largest data centers can require up to 5 million gallons of water per day, equivalent to the water use of 50,000 people. Why are we selling out the survival of our planet to enrich a handful of Big Tech CEOs?
