LOS ANGELES UPDATE: With today's update, Nithya Raman pulls within 7,500 votes of Spencer Pratt. (She netted roughly 13K votes in today's batch of 59K ballots.) This cuts Pratt's lead over Raman (for second spot) from 3.4% to 1.1%. (Note: The city of LA has roughly 175K ballots left.)

Just to be clear, if this was the other way around, a Palestinian filmmaker mocking the sexual assault of Israelis, they would be banned from the festival for life

JUST IN: A Bass-Raman runoff in November is looking more likely, according to Saturday's batch of election results. Councilmember Nithya Raman gains 2.24 points on Spencer Pratt, cutting his lead to 1.11% in the L.A. mayor's race.

Could really use a little help with some basics today. Need things like toothpaste, soap, and a few other essentials. Anything helps and is appreciated. Thank you ❤️

The New York Times reporting seems to imply that Israel was not only bugging the phones of U.S. troops sent to defend Israel, but also attempted to stick listening devices in the cars of Secret Service agents and into the Pentagon. But I feel better after AIPAC posted this reassuring tweet

I have received video of Seth Moulton being loudly booed at Boston Pride.

The Boston Globe is reporting that Seth Moulton was booed at Pride today: "You can't come here and act like you support our community when you're blaming our kids for losing the election"

Nashville Zoo tries to halt data center project next door over animal safety concerns Given how superior the hearing of most animals are compared to humans, I can't imagine the cruelty of them having to endure the 24/7 noise pollution a datacenter would produce. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

Please let Bass and Pratt fuck off forever!

A major batch for Nithya Raman. It’s a near certainty at this point that the general election in the Los Angeles mayoral race will Bass vs. Raman.

And none of them are reporting on the economic crash trump is hurdling the country into headfirst

Pentagon raised threat of Israeli spying on U.S. to highest level, sources say The counterintelligence threat level was raised by the Defense Intelligence Agency after growing concerns that Israeli espionage had become more aggressive than usual, sources say. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi. The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges. America must secure her release NOW.

Safety 101 If someone is giving you a “tour” of their home/building, let them walk into the room first while you follow. If you’re in real estate, let the potential buyer walk into the room first. This is so you aren’t boxed in if they have bad intentions, and you have an escape route.

New: we've obtained a DHS document outlining ICE's plan to give potentially more than a thousand local law enforcement agencies a facial recognition app that would query a database of hundreds of millions of images to verify someone’s immigration status www.404media.co/ices-plan-to...

These two companies, GEO Group and CoreCivic, empires built on human suffering and concentration camps, deserve boycott and I will add them to the guide (pinned to my feed) but they don’t sell us anything. It will have to be a divestment and pressure boycott (like Palantir), but it’s coming.

Don't forget, they did a trial run of this with 6,100 people, and ended up sweeping in multiple living U.S. citizens.

Reminder Ken Paxton who is running for Senate in Texas pardoned his friend who was in jail for raping a boy for years. Oh well, let's move on.

It's funny how the markets always get spooked by the idea of money being spent on public services, but they're always perfectly ok with billions going into private pockets.

Here are the 117 Democrats who voted with Republicans against Rashida Tlaib's Lebanon war powers resolution. Thomas Massie was the one Republican to join 91 Democrats — who all bucked party leadership — in voting for it.

George Santos called me after my story revealing federal investigations into his suspected market manipulation on Kalshi. And he said: "This story is going to get you a gun in your face." Then he lied about it. www.npr.org/2026/06/04/n...

Everybody in the crowd should have jumped on the bot and kicked its ass.

H.R. 8646 clerk.house.gov/Votes/2026205 These four Democratic Reps should be remembered for taking food away from families at a time when inflation, war and greed are making food more unaffordable by the day...

because it doesn't say and i know you're gonna ask

House Republicans joined by 4 Democrats vote to literally take food away from pregnant women and children

UPDATE: This is moving a little more slowly after all, at least in part. A "joint letter motion" was filed in the NYC case with DOJ stipulating that it "will not obtain any such documents or materials prior to June 24, 2026." As such, Judge Vargas has moved the TRO hearing to June 22.

Also: allegations a "radical hospitality" tent outside Delaney Hall — often staffed by faith leaders, who insist its primarily task is aiding families visiting detainees — was raided over the weekend. Photos show HSI and FBI agents in the tent, which has become a conservative media target.

Wooohooo!!! Charges against #AaronSpencer have been dismissed!! #LonokeCounty #SpencerForSheriff

In 2004, Adam Hamawy was serving as a combat surgeon in Iraq while Jared Moskowitz was working on JOE LIEBERMAN’s presidential campaign

Adam Hamawy is a combat veteran who literally saved Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s life in Iraq. Surely Jared Moskowitz — who worked under Ron DeSantis and has a lengthy history of disparaging remarks about Muslims — couldn’t be motivated by bigotry or anything.

The VA denied my dad’s cancer treatment in 2022 even though they deemed it was caused by Agent Orange exposure. Medicare and CARTI said “f the VA, we got you.” I’m so sorry to this firefighter and his loved ones 😔 #FuckCancer #MedicareForAll abc7news.com/post/retired...

9. Now the Gallup numbers reveal that their hold on the Republican Party and its beliefs has crystalized into something dangerous for all LGBTQ+ people, and the community is and always will be in it together.

8. These changes did not happen organically. They are the product of a deliberate, well-funded, decades-long campaign by the religious far right to roll back LGBTQ+ acceptance in America by orgs like the ADF and Heritage.

7. It is tempting to view this decline as emblematic of a broader societal backlash, but a closer look at the data reveals something more specific. The numbers are driven almost entirely by a collapse among Republicans, whose party has actively stoked hostility toward LGBTQ+ people among its base.

1. A new Gallup poll shows collapsing support for gay marriage and LGB relationships. It appears to be driven entirely by the Republican Party... Moderates and Democrats have seen no such collapse. It shows that Republicans will not stop with trans people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Do turtles have big nests with tons of other turtles? We find a new turtle in our backyard almost every day. I know it’s not the same turtle repeatedly because I have to get them out of the dog’s mouth. Several have not survived 😔 I can’t figure out where they’re coming from.

he’s sort of a generational poster though

It is disturbing that National Guard troops are detaining residents, with no clear authority or rules of engagement. (NG soldiers are usually sworn as Special Deputy US Marshals, when activated, so I suspect they do have arrest powers, but it's wild that no one will even say.)

i sure would love to have ranked choice voting. i wonder why we don't- Ah right of course. gavin newsom is a slime.

In one of Europe’s poorest countries, young people are reminding us that not everything can be measured in money and that preserving Nature is important. Albanian PM, Edi Rama, has backed a project by investor Jared Kushner to build a 4-billion-euro luxury resort. Many Albanians are against it.

🚨 NEW: Josh Turek just won Iowa’s Democratic Senate primary — after outside groups tied to Chuck Schumer and a billionaire-backed dark money network lined up behind him. Schumer said he was staying out. But filings show his PAC gave Turek the max, while VoteVets spent $8.2M backing him.

Israel has abducted 20-year-old Palestinian women's national football team player Rand Halawani, abducted former national teamer Natalie Abu Diyeh, and imposed a travel ban on Musab Abu Salem. This is another facet of the ongoing athleticide, likely emboldened by FIFA's refusal to apply sanctions.

Minnesota’s immigration court has begun to schedule so-called “mega masters,” hearings for 100 people in one day. Immigration attorneys are raising concerns about due process as the Trump administration aims to issue removal orders as quickly as possible.
