I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month. Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

Get it now?

We have over 16 centuries worth of historical data on Christians building/aligning with empires and doing awful things to each other and others. Stop insisting that bad actors are not “real” Christians. Humbly sit with the fact that many real Christians do not follow Jesus. 1/6

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Someone should ask what Miller was doing between 2021 and 2025, why David Horowitz recruited him to the foreign policy team of the Trump campaign, why the Democrats never followed through on their 2017 investigation of alleged lies on Miller's SF-86 clearance forms, but no one asks real questions

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

The one positive from the past two weeks is that also the establishment "moderates" are being exposed, revealed, and rejected by the majority. Includes Van Jones, Ezra Klein, The Abundance Crew, Friedman, Maher, Yglesias, and on...

Every single one.

“The Project 2025 plan names names. It identifies federal employees to fire. It designates entire depts for elimination. It doesn’t hide its intentions; it advertises them. Schedule F reclassify tens thousands of civil servants as at-will employees, sacked without even giving cause.”

The home of South Carolina Circuit Court judge Diane Goodstein was set on fire and burned to the ground after she received death threats, following criticism by the Trump administration.

A disembodied gospel is no Good News at all. The gospel is incarnational. I believe that we will see the goodness of God in the land of the living.

MAJOR BREAKING: In a late-night order, Judge Immergut, a Trump-appointee, has BLOCKED Trump from deploying the National Guard from ANY state or D.C. into Oregon.

Do not fall for secessionist propaganda or “Texas is invading Illinois”! Pay attention to who is saying this, who is screwing you over, and what their end goal is.

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized. We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon. She issued that order

All I ask is that you watch and listen for 2 mins. youtu.be/AxZDE8PBhFk

The music is a reminder that the MAGA movement can’t help but alienate everyone else. Trump can bamboozle the Joe Rogan swing voters into thinking he’s not so bad just long enough to win an election, but the rest of the MAGA leadership still hasn’t figured out how to hide their weirdness.

“This administration has created cascading vulnerabilities that it cannot manage. They’ve essentially engineered their own downfall through reckless destabilization.”

MAGA thinks the majority will sit there and just accept masked, armed ICE agents to continue terrorizing their streets. They are wrong. Dangerous, desperate overreach by a weakened Administration.

A federal judge in Oregon has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from deploying the National Guard in Portland.

The US is now four months away from losing its measles elimination status. 1544 confirmed cases reported by the CDC.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

He’s foaming at the mouth to go full Gestapo.

Greta Thunberg is the best of us. If you are not on her side there is something very wrong with you.

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

IL Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh: "I think Kristi Noem should have consequences. I think she should be tried at The Hague."

History repeats.

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

What is wrong with men who would so quickly, easily, and even gleefully sink to this level of barbarity? How many are there like this, and what are we, as a nation and a species, going to do about this spiritual disease? 🦠

"I think in a free country we should be able to post onto the internet, 'hey, there are masked agents on Broadway and Vine and not have the government or the tech oligarchs prevent us from doing that.' Shame on you, Tim Cook." @radiofreetom.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social:

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Nashville ruled that the Department of Justice’s criminal case against Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia may be a form of punishment against him for legally challenging his abrupt removal to an El Salvador megaprison earlier this year.

“'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"

Seriously trying to figure out how to kill my multiple Gmail accounts and take everything off Google drive. I’ve not used Google search engine/browser for years.

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down. The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed. And they get another vacation

Thanks for all the kind words. I finally heard from my husband who is safe. He is being detained and it is not clear why he was detained or even if charges will be pressed. Please pray for my family and if you can, reach out to your representatives and senators about this assault on our freedoms.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov
