Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

Lindsey Graham was one of the main subjects of a @theatlantic.com cover story I wrote in 2020, on why people collaborate with regimes they know are immoral. Here's a gift link: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

NY Tmes exec editor Joe Kahn said in 2024 that the issue of democracy's survival was not a top priority in his newsroom's coverage. Now Trump is sending federal agents to NYT reporters' homes to deliver subpoenas over coverage he doesn't like. I wonder if democracy is a priority for Joe now.

Hey y’all, I track rural policy news for a living, so I wanted to share a quick and easy explainer about what led to the current Cyclospora outbreak. In a nutshell, Trump and the wingnuts he tapped to lead the CDC are to blame: 🧵

Attention Veterans, Contact your congressional members today. House and Senate Republicans just introduced the "Take Care of America's Veterans Act," a massive bill that cuts disability compensation for tinnitus and sleep apnea for future claimants to pay for other provisions.

Reporter confronts Head of NATO Mark Rutte: "You sit next to Donald Trump in moments where he talks about conquering Greenland, talks about lashing out at allies like Spain, starting trade wars... Does this have any effect on your self-respect when you sit next to him and say nothing?"

James Gosnell Jr. the Charleston County judge who in 2015 told grieving Emanuel AME families that white supremacist shooter Dylann Roof's relatives were "victims too" has pleaded guilty to two federal charges: possession and distribution of child s*xual abuse material included infants and toddlers

Democrats - knock off the stupid ideological food fight. Find someone who can speak articulately about housing and gas costs, corruption, doesn't have a Nazi tattoo, and isn't over 80. It's not that hard.

UPDATE: CNBC responds, says it only includes the disclosure of their financial relationship with Kalshi when it is "directly relevant to the story" These are examples of stories where CNBC determined it wasn't "relevant" to disclose that the company invests in Kalshi and gets paid for new customers

The backlash is real… against Colorado’s governor for pardoning election denier Tina Peters I spoke with Denver news anchor Kyle Clark

Hi hello I was going to do a full thread on the Great American State Fair later but it seems I'm starting early: why in the fuck are PragerU, Patriot Academy, and other far right groups the ENTIRETY of the Department of Education booth

Nearly one million people who bought Trump's memecoin have lost money through the end of June. Their losses total $3.81 billion. Trump walked away with a $636 million payout on the same crypto bet.

@technologyreview.com @berkeleyengineer.bsky.social @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social The WORLD DEMANDS you withdraw ALL diplomas and University degrees issued to Chris Wright. As this administrations Energy Secretary he proves daily he didn't learn enough to have graduated!!

You have seen his picture. You have seen the memes. They are fantastic. Jason Watson has spurred a movement. But please, watch this speech. It will give you goosebumps, and you will want to do anything you can to continue and join the movement. Please watch #DOOR @defendersofourrepublic.org

BREAKING: Trump’s rule change for the Office of Management and Budget will not only require agencies to ensure grants advance the president’s priorities, it will also kill up to 5,000 clinical trials — including 1,000 cancer treatment studies fight2win.standupforscience.net @standupforscience.net

Wow. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) floor speech on Trump Admin. corruption has now received 1 million views He opens the remarks by arguing that Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaQ_...

The hate and cruelty are not byproducts of a MAGA mindset, they are the driving force behind the mindset:

The lawyer for Dominic Pezzola, the man who did this to the Capitol on Jan. 6, while senators were evacuating, compares the widely documented attack to a 1960s sit-in at Woolworth's. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Trump’s Freedom 250 sponsors include Mastercard and United Airlines. Massive brand risk, if you ask me.

Shouldn’t be lost on anyone that the world’s richest man is stoking public health conspiracies after getting called out for gutting USAID—a move that killed hundreds of thousands of people.

The idea that she's had a "successful career" in music and got this on the merits is utterly hilarious. She's released one EP with six songs three years ago and a handful of singles (again, none since 2023). She's a hobbyist at best.

Postmaster General David Steiner's admission conflicted with a rule the USPS adopted under his watch last year. The rule said the agency “does not administer elections, establish the rules or deadlines that govern elections, or determine whether or how election jurisdictions utilize the mail.”

Did DoD just admit in a court filing that it used xAI's Grok Gov Model to hit the girls' school on the first day of the Iran war? Based on some passages flagged by @rgoodlaw.bsky.social in DoD's recent filing in NAACP's case against X, it looks like it did 1/

IGC Navy has closed the Strait of Hormuz, warning all vessels to not attempt to cross, following Israel’s refusal to withdraw from and strikes this morning on Southern Lebanon.

Yet another murderboat

Our national embarrassment in action...

Moody’s estimates the Iran war has already cost taxpayers $132 billion. Long-term estimates suggest it will ultimately cost as much as $1 trillion. Either way, that would have been more than enough to expand ACA subsidies for 22 million Americans—but Trump says the country is broke.
