I miss seeing Colbert on late night. I know it “wasn’t a format contemporary audiences care about” and whatever but he never phoned it in and it was always a bright spot in my day to watch his monologue.

NEW: 500+ journalists formally ask White House Correspondents Assoc. "to publicly pledge that it will fight back against the Trump Admin's assault on press freedom" at its dinner with Trump on Friday "Attacks on journalists and press freedom have become even more egregious"

I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:

The FBI director who called the Russia investigation a hoax, took $25k from a Kremlin-linked film company, and used government jets for personal trips is now planning a fall visit to Moscow, hosted by the FSB. There's a word for this, and it's not "diplomacy." JFC. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

This Motherfucker poisoned the well of democracy. Die Soonest!

The broader context here is that some genocide scholars fear that the U.S. is already in the early-to-mid stages of a genocide against transgender people. That the rhetoric and legal efforts to deny them the healthcare they need and exclude them from society demonstrate eliminationist intent.

FDA: We found Cyclospora in this company's lettuce. [company visits White House and donates millions of dollars to the grift funds] FDA: No we didn't.

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked Paramount’s proposed $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, granting a request from a coalition of 12 states led by California. The court will consider a longer injunction on Aug. 3.

Trump plots a "workaround" to use terror powers against his foes. But his foes have a shield. Read more about this in Miles' breakdown of the administration's reported strategy—and why the Constitution stands in its way.

Three American troops dead in a week. One still missing. Killed by Iranian drones while the brass turns it into a tidy press release. I'm done being polite about it. These are sons and daughters…husbands and wives…brothers and sisters…NOT statistics. Bring them home.

Stephen Colbert has been laying low since he bid farewell to "The Late Show" in May, but he returned to Instagram to share a sweet message.

Today, 7/20, is the deadline for Acting AG Todd Blanche to respond to my latest filing demanding: *specific documents from the Epstein Files be produced in the judge's chambers AND *for Blanche to pay a $1000 fine/day until he complies with the rest of the preliminary injunction entered in my favor

Beshear needs to do what Mitch would do in his shoes. The law they made to stop Beshear from appointing a replacement violates the state constitution. Make the friggin' appointment!!! Make them prove he's alive or take you to court (which will prove he's not alive).

Tonight, we are suspending our campaign for US Senate, and I’m proud to endorse my friend, Troy Jackson. To our team and volunteers who gave everything around the clock with almost no notice: I’m so grateful to you. This fight is bigger than any one person. See you on the doors this November.

A true MORAL victory. Spain, the country taking in sick Palestinian kids who can't get decent treatment thanks to Israel. 💙💙

Richard Gere: “Trump uses the same words that Hitler did. Calls them vermin. They’re not vermin. These are human beings. I’ve met them. He’s never met a refugee or a migrant. These are human beings like us who are usually running from a fire of one kind or another” @marcofoster.bsky.social

Gosh, it turns out that taxing the wealthy, universal health coverage, universal basic income, and other democratic socialist aims are popular, who would have guessed it?!

This is the way it's done.

Reminder: there's NO legitimate use for crypto. Its only practical uses are tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, specualtion, and crime. No Democrat should vote for the so-called CLARITY Act, a bill backed by the crypto lobby that would make this Ponzi scheme even worse.

Gov. Andy Beshear must immediately go on the effin' offense, call a special election, and force a *public* proof of life of Mitch McConnell.

#Petethenazi has plans! Really disturbing plans! Drug em!!

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!

This is addressed to everyone, but especially Americans under the age of 30: Read dystopian novels. Read 1984, and Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451, and White Noise, and—fuck—even Hunger Games. So many of you just aren’t getting what’s been happening just because you don’t read.

Brian Tyler Cohen spoke to me about the biggest problem for Dems is the "GOP Plays long game, while the Democrats play the wrong game." He added, the GOP wields power in a take-no-hostages manner. But when Democrats are in control, they seek compromise. That has to stop! youtu.be/a5thvd6jzcY?...

AOC: A genocide in Gaza committed with American bombs and financed by our American dollars, while our kids here at home have to ration their inhalers because politicians tell us that healthcare is too expensive.

This whole thread.

6 years ago we lost our Conscience of Congress: Congressman John Lewis who coined the Civil Rights motto: GOOD TROUBLE. From leading the march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge to serving in the House, he never stopped fighting for justice, equality, and the right to vote. Make him proud this Nov!

This never should’ve happened. But when public schools use their authority to pressure students into religion, we will continue stepping in until it stops.

A federal judge just spent 56 pages taking apart Trump's favorite scheme—then reported his own lawyers to the bar. Her name is Kathleen Williams. Remember it. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-had-...

If Andy Beshear doesn’t call for a special election before August 3rd and force Mitch McConnell to prove he can speak in a video, then Andy Beshear becomes the new Merrick Garland. I’m sorry but I make the rules.

Sometimes I still can't believe that 20-year old me got to shake this hero's hand and look him in the eye and say "Thank you." May his memory always be a blessing. We should finish his work.

They keep telling us that the armed psychos who keep killing and wounding us are actually there to protect us.

Good for United. Meanwhile we have the Airport Version of #ETTD .

“Why would you give a country committing a genocide any weapons?” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social presses Rep. @rokhanna.bsky.social on whether or not he supports an arms embargo on Israel, especially after his visit to the West Bank. Watch the full interview — zeteo.com/p/i-saw-terr...

I've lived in Beijing, and the thing is - they don't have elections.

Oh, and a big reminder to give props to @atrupar.com, who covers the decomposing dictator & clips him (& the regime) so you don't have to bear the agita-producing Trump at full length. 🦋 bsky.app/profile/atru...

Any move to dismiss the results of the 2020 Election will backfire on Trump. If I were Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, I'd team-up and wear T-shirts that say, "Come at me, bro". When you call out cowards, they balk.

Decades of attacking science because it conflicts with religion have produced people who think an air quality alert is an assault on freedom.

Trump wants to spend tonight rewriting the 2020 election. Meanwhile his own teleprompter guy is under federal investigation for betting on his speeches, Iran and the Houthis are threatening to choke off two of the world's biggest shipping lanes, and more. Your midday update is here:

It's time for straight talk about Lindsey Graham. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p... Lindsey Graham’s legacy warrants a far harsher reckoning than the glowing tributes now pouring in, political analyst David Rothkopf says.

🎯 #DUIHireHegseth is trying to distract everyone w/his high-T BS, so we don't pay attention to his war crimes, depleting military stockpiles, killing Iranian schoolgirls, our own service numbers, & countless civilians bc he's *low-T*, w/serious inadequacy & 🍻 🍾 issues. 📺 bsky.app/profile/atru...

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

Further update. bsky.app/profile/hous...

The media will face another test tonight, vis a vis Trump's speech, and it will fail. I don't know why anyone has even an iota of doubt about this.

While many Democrats voted to send $3.3B to Israel as they commit genocide of Palestinians—a historic 104 Dems—a majority—voted to stop funding Israel. That major shift is made possible by countless progressives activating & organizing. Progress is slow but it is happening. Keep the pressure on.❤️✊🏽

Just To Be Clear...
