With two people dead in Memphis in four days and one the same week in Houston, that's four people federal agents have shot and killed over just nine days. July 5: Tyrin Johnson July 7: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo July 8: Alfonso Ivy July 13: name not released yet

Guy is literally trying to create a new welfare queen

NEW: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” with @texastribune.org

Cheats Never Prosper: Trump made the call. FIFA bent the rule. Balogun came back. And Belgium still sent the hosts home 4-1. The United States had the home crowd, the flag, the hype, the phone call, and the second chance. Belgium had the pressure, the finish, the Red Devils, CONTINUED...

Insider trading, bribery, extortion—-all against the law. Put SCOTUS on the ballot too over the scope of immunity.

FDR was not perfect by any means. Eleanor behind-the-scenes had a lot to do with his success. But he was one of the most consequential presidents in US history, IMO...

If true, that’s not a ceasefire. That’s a bribe.

So lift all sanctions on Iran, pay $300B for reconstruction, another $24B for good measure, we don't get the nuclear materials, and Israel pulls out of Lebanon which they say they won't do. Got it.

It's been a brutal two weeks in Chicagoland with ICE pointing guns and tasers, multiple car crashes, violent arrests and a significant uptick in detainments overall. Feds continue to stalk courthouses across multiple counties. Today, agents were also seen at the rideshare lots at O'Hare.

On the plane to Raleigh with lots of Caniacs!

GO CANES!

NEW, from @zoetakaki.bsky.social & @peoplesfabric.bsky.social: A Forest Park cop won't be charged by North Riverside police over an incident captured on video where, while off duty and wearing a Trump jersey, he yanked a terrified young woman from her car and arrested her—for hitting a curb.

GO CANES!

The sofa cushion was clearly custom made to make Xi’s seat noticeably higher than Trump’s, even though Trump is 4 inches taller. China is expert at mocking people

Beyond despicable. Beyond deplorable.

Thank you for suggesting that we return a semblance of recognizing the difference between government and entertainment.

On this day in 1943, California enacted a statute requiring all marriage licenses to indicate each party’s race so that “no license may be issued authorizing the marriage of a white person with a Negro, mulatto, Mongolian, or member of the Malay race.”

Trump had several gripes while speaking at his No Tax on Tips event in Las Vegas Thursday evening. Yet in an incredible mental lapse, one of Trump’s points of frustration was about who the president was in 2025. trib.al/qBikhl3

The Trump Administration's move to vacate convictions for seditious conspiracy by members of Oath Keepers and Proud Boys for what happened on January 6th, 2021 is beyond disgraceful.   We need to put an end to the corruption that goes on in the Trump Administration.

Here's Trump on Jan 13, 2021, after he'd been impeached, but before the Senate had voted on whether to convict and bar him from office for life. "There's never a justification for violence ... Those who engaged in attacks last week will be brought to justice."

What I needed today (and probably every day)

Happy Birthday to the Late Honorable Clifford Scott Green, a great judge and a better human being

Catchy as hell, unfortunately. "Sweating in your suit Hiding Epstein’s ghost You sent your boys to die On a bloody coast."

Heritage’s OWN data: noncitizen voting <0.0001% (over 40 years). Not enough to swing even close races. Trump tried to prove fraud: • 62 lawsuits • 61 lost/dropped • 1 meaningless procedural win Our elections ARE secure. Tell your Senators - vote NO on the SAVE Act!

There is nothing in the NATO Charter that requires a member-state to join wars of aggression started by another member.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

After that: Back in Chicago next Saturday, at Seminary Coop in Hyde Park. In conversation with Steve Garnett. Okay, Chicagoans. I'm happy to get around the city to talk about Injustice Town. Hope to see you there. #justice www.semcoop.com/event/rick-t...

Hey, Raleigh people! My next chance to talk about Injustice Town is at Quail Ridge Books, Wednesday night. In conversation with David Zucchino. quailridgebooks.com/event/ricktu... I cannot wait for this. Hope we get a good crowd of people who care about justice in America.

Markwayne Mullin, set to run Homeland Security >>

Coming to Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh, NC on March 11 at 6:30. Huge Caniacs welcome!

Just saw this and hope I'm not dreaming. The New Yorker best books so far of 2026?

Nobel Peace Prize, my ass

Wondering if another country sent missiles raining on NY, Chicago, LA and Houston if Anna Paulina Luna would consider that something less than an invasion?

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

What genre is Injustice Town by Rick Tulsky

And I’m allowed to stay up late on Saturdays if I do my homework first.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

We couldn't be more excited to share that Rick Tulsky, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of INJUSTICE TOWN, is going on tour this spring! What stop will you be attending?

Happy release day! bsky.app/profile/eric...
