Not once has the Wall Street Journal published an editorial on #climatechange that acknowledged the definitive science that humans are changing the #climate, while publishing countless editorials rejecting, ignoring, or misrepresenting that science. This is just one more of those.

JFC if I had a friend or loved one who died fighting his ridiculous war in Iran I would literally go postal right now. I honestly don't know how enlisted people and their families are coping with this insanity.

While we’re not out of the woods yet, this is welcome news.   This merger would force prices up, bring wages down, and lead to people losing jobs – all to bring TikTok, CNN, and CBS under one roof.
 Perhaps Paramount CEO David Ellison can't wine and dine his way through this one after all.

A US federal appeals court decertified a shareholder class action accusing Boeing of prioritizing profit over safety and overstating its commitment to safe aircraft, before the January 2024 mid-air cabin panel blowout on an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 reut.rs/44BifTl

This top Trump Treasury nominee can't say whether the Trump administration is going to take away Social Security benefits from our seniors.

Watching an episode of The Bob Newhart Show and my mind is REELING at the size of airplane seats in the 1970s. It's like they're designed for a person to sit in them

This week, TPS for Haitians is expected to end. No state will feel the impact more than Florida, home to roughly 350,000 -- many of them healthcare workers. “The workers are suffering, but the patients are going to suffer more.” My latest for @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

New Series "By the People". For the better part of two centuries of U.S. history, the American people understood that they—and not the Supreme Court—were the final arbiters of the Constitution.

My request to younger, more progressive Dem candidates: please skip the line.

"There was a point in Biden’s term when Dems came to realize he was no longer capable of being an effective spokesperson. Trump is there now too. The fact he has lost his power of persuasion will go a long way to keep the election safe from his attempts to undermine it." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

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

It's the "hashtag Jews" that makes this an all-timer.

Some of you might remember that for the last five years, I've been working on my next book, a history of the gay rights movement as reflected in and reshaped by popular culture. SIGNIFICANT PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL UPDATE: It's done.

I wonder if at any point while he was physically placing the letters T H E J E W S on the marquee, he thought "...or maybe I'm just a giant idiot. Guess I'll find out soon!"

Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊

We need to talk more about age limits in government service, from Congress to the Supreme Court. These are people with generous pensions. At some point, they need to know when it’s time to go. Too many refuse. Maybe it’s time to make it law.

The ICE officer who killed a man in Maine last week had a well known history of mental instability and physical abuse. He should have never been hired. More here on why these killings were so predictable and what enforcement should look like: earlywarningwithjuliette.substack.com/p/ice-is-bro...

seems like a real hallmark of our era is the total inability to be normal about anything. it is just a movie! watch it or not but this shit is weird.

Release the full Epstein Files.

Daily Reminder: SOCIAL SECURITY IS OUR MONEY!

While the Tate Brothers were arrested in Miami on rape & human trafficking charges, Trump — found liable for sexual abuse by a jury, credibly accused by dozens of women, with deep Epstein ties — walks free and runs the country. Tate brothers in custody / Trump in the Oval The hypocrisy is disgusting

Epstein survivor Virginia Roberts Giuffre was abused as a child and her instinct was to protect her younger brother Sky Roberts Now, Sky and his wife Amanda are fighting to protect abuse victims by campaigning to pass Virginia’s Law, to remove the statute of limitations on child sexual abuse cases

This is the FIRST time in history an American President has ever tried to actively undermine American citizens' faith in the integrity of our elections. What an un-American asshole.

The problem in American politics today is not anything that the Democratic Party is doing or not doing, but that the GOP is now entirely a criminal, authoritarian and seditionist network that has ceased to care about winning elections. They're a problem that can only be fixed with prison sentences.

I would like one plank of the 2028 Democratic platform to read: WE ARE GOING TO SEND EVERY ONE OF YOU CORRUPT MOTHERFUCKERS TO PRISON.

Todd Blanche is violating federal law by covering up the Epstein files. Rather than confirming him as attorney general, the Senate ought to demand his prosecution.

GOP is no longer a legitimate political party; it has crossed the line into barbarism, Fascism, cruelty, murder, and inhumanity,

A text sent to Don Jr from Julian Assange about election rigging lies way back in 2016.

Imagine if a woman president spent most her time raving and crying about an election she lost 6 years ago. Emotional. Unstable. Hysterical. Unfit to lead.

Doctors say abortion restrictions have left many Texas women terrified that pregnancy complications could become life-threatening. “I don’t want to die, please don’t let me die.” That is a plea that no doctor in Texas ever wants to hear from their pregnant patient. msmagazine.com/2026/07/15/d...

"Doubly disturbing" Fmr. federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori explains the concerning timing of Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing along with Trump's speech alleging election vulnerabilities. He adds that Republicans who vote for Blanche can’t “pretend that anything that is coming was not expected.”

The Trump administration has tentatively agreed to allow Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium without enacting international safeguards intended to prevent nuclear weapons development, according to sources familiar with the matter and documents reviewed by CNN. https://cnn.it/4fhCFWc

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

In this 250 minute from @hcrichardson.bsky.social & team, Allison Gill, host & EP of GLAAD-nominated & Webby-award-winning podcasts, recounts the Palmer Raids of 1919–1920, when thousands of Americans were arrested without warrants during the nation's first Red Scare. youtu.be/0_KG_INv1PA?...

One of the first things Trump did after returning to office was gut the CFPB, the agency that protects Americans from financial predators. That sabotage has cost Americans an estimated $26.5B and counting. Trump is making his corporate donors even richer by letting them swindle you.

This is how to speak to every single one of those sycophants.

ICE officer who shot Colombian man in Maine has history of threatening behavior and mental illness, family and court documents say.

The Trump regime is shooting people in the streets while talking about "radical left terrorism." Straight out of the playbook from 1930s Germany.

Please explain to me how the same senators who voted for the Epstein Transparency Acf would now vote to confirm the man who’s leading the continuing coverup of the Epstein files.

They know they did it and they are responsible. Which is why they will continue to stonewall this. Good for the reporter to keep asking about it and not let this go, because they are counting on people just moving on.

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.

Rep. Thomas Massie has announced he'll introduce the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, a bill to give state AGs, DAs, 'authorized state officers,' and victims the right to sue DOJ for "unlawfully withholding, redacting, delaying, concealing, removing, or failing to publish Epstein-related records."
