Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential. www.reuters.com/world/us/usd...

The feds have declared "no more prayer" and are banning religious gatherings outside the ICE detention center near Chicago. The fake Christians keep getting more fake.

Hey Mike Johnson, do we even have a House of Representatives any more? Reconvene. Swear in Adelita Grijalva. Now.

Murdering humans in the Caribbean Sea. Risking starvation of tens of millions of Americans. Urging abusive federal agents to use deadly force. Can Americans agree to never again elect a man who could not care less about human life, except for his own?

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

I’m just saying, but if I had just gotten completely shellacked on Tuesday, I wouldn’t be asking SCOTUS to let me starve millions of people 3 days later.

New York electing its first Muslim mayor 24 years after 9/11 and rejecting the idiotic racism that would connect those events is actually a legit excuse for American triumphalism, but the people who say they love America the most hate all the best things about it.

In 2001, terrorists tried to destroy the White House with a hijacked plane. 24 years later, the president of the United States accepted a plane from people funding terrorists and destroyed the White House himself.🔄

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This is one of the most revolting competitions in history. It's like a group of adolescent boys comparing penis size. And this, while so many children go hungry. Ugh. Immoral.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present Karma?

Holy shit!! A nearly 30 point shift towards the Democrats!!

MAGA has to decide which is more important to them. The food they need to survive or the misogyny, Islamophobia, xenophobia, racism, guns, and hatred of the democrats that MAGA currently provides.

I am saddened but I also know one thing for sure This great young man from Houston Texas has a wonderful future ahead of him He is truly a great young leader... An intelligent fierce fighter for Democracy He ran for Congress TX District 18 Please follow him @isaiahrmartin.bsky.social

Kid Rock: I will no longer sell my music in California. Scott Baio: I will no longer act in California. Governor Newsom: My policies are working.

“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.

It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.

"The DC resistance isn’t manifesting this week as recognizable members of Congress marching up and down Pennsylvania Avenue..., but as an array of ordinary DC residents documenting what’s happening in their neighborhoods and mobilizing pop-up actions based on the information being shared."

Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley reacts to the Maxwell transcripts, saying Maxwell “repeatedly and brazenly lied” to the government and is trying to “recreate history.” Full statement

If you find yourself repeating fascist threats and lies and bluster, you are only helping them. “They’re going to deport Kilmar to Uganda on Monday.” Shut the fuck up. No they’re not. They want you to think they’re invincible monsters. They’re not. They’re decaying pedophiles.

The most impressive thing about this campaign is how *creative* they are. They’re trying new stuff! Multiple times during the last few months I’ve thought “wow, I’ve never seen a campaign do that.” Much more of that needed everywhere.

Apparently learning about the Civil Rights movement is "inappropriate." www.upworthy.com/parents-comp...

In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided

i need politicians to be as mad at housing prices as they are about cracker barrel's new logo

All Folks Had To Do Was Vote For The Super Qualified Black Lady… With A Degree In Economics

I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded. HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.

🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social

A half dozen armed goons brutally attacked a man FOR EATING IN PUBLIC?

Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files

If only John Bolton had had the Epstein Files, his house never would have been raided.

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

🚨BREAKING: Federal court STRIKES DOWN Alabama's state Senate map for violating VRA sec 2 by diluting Black voting power in Montgomery. Alabama must now draw a new compliant map. Status conference is set for Aug. 28 to facilitate remedial proceedings. www.democracydocket.com/cases/alabam...

Fox 17 Nashville reports that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from criminal detention in Tennessee and is on his way home to Maryland. “Today, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free,” his attorney, @sean-hecker.bsky.social, said in a statement. fox17.com/news/local/k...

If you aren’t uncomfortable learning our country’s history, you are learning propaganda.

Powell: "GDP growth has slowed notably in the first half of this year, to a pace of 1.2%, roughly half the 2.5% pace in 2024. The declining growth has largely reflected a slowdown in consumer spending ... higher tariffs have begun to push up prices in some categories of goods."

What blue state is stepping up next? Who’s gonna meet this moment with the urgency it deserves? Who wants to be able to tell their kids and grandkids that when everything was on the line, they didn’t just SAY the right things, but DID the right thing with the power they had?

What can we do to get ready to go into midterms? Make sure we have a candidate on every ballot in every race in every district in every state… No seat uncontested.

Watch this. Apparently, police followed Rep Collier into the bathroom and threatened her with a FELONY for being on a press call with Senator Corey Booker and Governor Newsom.

Mockler: They say that they oppose it at a 79% rate, 61% of them feel less safe… So the question that I then want to ask is, why don't we mobilize the National Guard to the eight out of ten red states that are the highest homicide states?

California didn't start the redistricting fight. But we're going to win it.

They say phones only make us miserable but I just got this news alert and laughed for a solid minute so who is to say
