Let me get a BEC.* *Bringing Economic Change

FACT: In July, Marsha Blackburn voted for the largest cut to SNAP in the history of the program. Now, 700,000 TN children, seniors & people w/ disabilities are going to miss meals and she’s pretending to care b/c she’s running for Governor. She thinks your too dumb to remember

"...a male correspondent was initially included on the layoff list but was removed after he appealed directly to the new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, leading to another female correspondent being added to the list at the last minute."

I hope when Kevin Costner dies his obituary identifies him as “American Actor Who Portrayed White Characters”

Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the vice chair of the Intelligence Committee, says he was denied a meeting with career intelligence workers because Laura Loomer objected.

We lost one of the greats. Graham Greene was not only an actor but a trail blazer. He opened doors for so many of us Natives. I'm proud to say that the very first pilot I ever acted in was with Graham Greene. The pilot was never picked up but I get to say that I got to work with one of the greats.

My law firm is currently litigating 48 voting and election cases in 23 states including 7 redistricting cases in AL, GA, LA, NC TX, & WI.

Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”? You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.

Congratulations, sir! Appearing on South Park is an honor, indeed. Not only have you "finally made it", you had the best line of dialogue in the show. Good luck with your love of furniture and your continuing EPSTEIN Cover-Up, Mar🐫

Priorities.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Mental health conditions, like suicides & overdoses, are the leading underlying causes of maternal deaths in the US. Antidepressants save women's lives—& they're safe. So why is RFKJr's FDA hell-bent on undermining their use among pregnant & postpartum moms? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Welker to Lindsey Graham as he pushes baseless conspiracy theories in an effort to gin up a scandal about Obama: "Are you trying to rewrite history to distract from the Epstein matter, senator?"

Noticing a theme here.

NEW ANGLE Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear should’ve been blown off—now completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage. But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into place…

Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social, Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism. Looking forward to following you wherever you land, Your fan, Mar🐫

The members of @1199seiu.org are heroes—saving lives, delivering babies, caring for all us in our time of need. I will stand with them as Mayor. So grateful to earn this endorsement from the largest healthcare union in the country.

Mike Lindell says he recently met with Trump to talk about revisiting the 2020 election and phasing out voting machines before 2026. The election conspiracies are still alive. More here: www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

What we know about the Idaho firefighter ambush

NEW: John Roberts puts off deciding where he stands on fascism. Has the "conservative institutionalist" gone full MAGA? He won't say, but his votes suggest he's at least willing to let the Supreme Court flirt with going there. Sunday SCOTUS thoughts, at Law Dork:

you know, if i were in the position of interviewing jeffries here, i would ask the congressman to specify exactly when and where mamdani used that language.

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.

Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops

Sierra Matthews lives in a small Missouri town, works in the public school system, raises two young sons, and has no health insurance. She falls below the poverty line. Medicaid isn’t a handout. It’s her lifeline. Take it away, there is no fallback! #MedicaidSavesOurLives

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

Amid allegations of inhumane and unsanitary conditions in ICE facilities, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is taking further steps to continue skirting congressional oversight. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

if you don’t know the history of Dodger Stadium you can’t fully understand what unfolded today. thanks @chrislhayes.bsky.social for the opportunity to share it.

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

The reviews are in. www.indy100.com/politics/tru...

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

Patriot Front crashed Springfield, MO Pride festival. Driving a Penske truck. U-Haul banned Patriot Front from renting their vehicles. It’s time for people to tell Penske to do the same.

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

Los Angeles. Just wow.

Just finished up at the Evanston No Kings rally. It was safe, peaceful, and a show of solidarity by *at least* 1,000 people. Go to your local protest. Don’t let this administration scare you. Stand with your community when our leaders won’t.
