Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...

Costco just made a troubling decision to not sell mifepristone, a safe and FDA-approved abortion pill. Instead of siding with patients and members, Costco is caving to pressure from far-right extremists. Please sign: sign.moveon.org/petitions/co...

I'll have a special update on NorCal lightning fires at 4pm PT today, including discussion of "holdover" ignitions & weather to come (some mixed news there). I'll also discuss extraordinary heat/wildfire situation unfolding in Western Canada. #CAwx #CAfire

GOP Drops Federal Medicaid Ban On Trans Care From “Big Beautiful Bill” open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

Viktor Orban banned pride events in Hungary, the people took it as a challenge and just had the largest pride march in their country's history.

Nearly 12 million Americans will lose health care coverage under the current iteration of the so-called Big Beautiful Bill www.statnews.com/2025/06/29/1...

Update: Latest estimate confirms between Medicaid cuts and ACA rollback, total health care cuts in the Republican budget bill are now OVER $1 trillion.

#Slo-mo of Mat the Cat chasing a red laser light cat toy. He was actually really close to it, not totally bumbling it as it looks here! #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #blackcats #blueskycats

Mat and his long-lost brother, Bat. He went out one night and never came home. 💔😿 He had some fairly annoying traits - like bullying the younger cats & spraying inside, so muddling through without him hasn't been too terrible. He was rather cute, though. #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #blueskycats

Are you all watching the Cat Olympic diving

Awful. As @peterbeinart.bsky.social notes, neither @schumer.senate.gov nor @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social have signed on to requiring Trump to get cong authorization for war with Iran. As I argued (see below) there should be a bipartisan coalition here. Where is it? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/o...

"A reporter from @thecity.nyc had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, 'Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?'"

Trump is denying defensive weapons to Ukraine, and giving Putin a green light to massacre.

Preparing your family for emergencies includes making sure your four-legged members are ready to roll, too. Build a pet disaster preparedness kit with food, water, medications, ID tags, leashes, and comfort items. Because when it’s GO time, you won’t want to paws. Start your kit meow. 🐾

Some perspective on recent warmth over past month in California. Many folks, most of whom live within ~20 miles of the coast, have been asking: where's all this hot weather I keep hearing about? Well...the short answer is inland & across hills/mountains. [Thread] #CAwx #CAfire

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations 💙🙏

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

A proper headline. Take note, @washingtonpost.com

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

BRENNAN: The public approval is so high of deportation PADILLA: It depends how you ask the question. If you ask the same people, 'Do you think we should maintain due process in the US?' the answer is overwhelmingly yes

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

When NO KINGS reigns over your parade. #SAD 🤣

Me, me, me, me, me! Everything is about me!! Everyone should thank me!! Poor me!!

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city." Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

No Kings Day Protest!!

This video shows what happened to Sen. Padilla after they forcibly removed him from Kristi Noem's press conference. He's given orders from the officers that would cause him to smash his face, then pushed to the ground and handcuffed. Via: x.com/elex_michael...

An Air India passenger jet with 242 people on board crashed shortly after takeoff. The Boeing 787-8 crashed during the first moments of its flight from the northwestern Indian city of Ahmedabad to London.

Pathetic: ABC’s GMA, World News Tonight, This Week, CBS’ Mornings, Evening News, Face the Nation, NBC’s Today, Nightly News, Meet the Press, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal all failed to cover Trump's new office for ethnic cleansing.

NEW: California fires back at the Trump admin's claim that courts have no authority to question its decision to deploy the military to LA: "President Trump and his fellow Defendants advance a breathtaking vision of unlimited, unreviewable executive power." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Gutting funding for public media will cut off news sources for millions of Americans. That’s exactly what Trump wants: to exert even more control over the news and information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all. It’s a hallmark of dictatorship.

And now you know that I told Trump off for saying US won WW2 & he's told me he's very sorry.

NEW OVERNIGHT: Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s attorneys ask Judge Xinis for severe sanctions against the Trump administration for violating court orders, saying officials stonewalled them for months, and outright lied. They want fines and an investigation. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What a rotten reality to have a White House occupant who hates so many Americans and hates everything our democratic nation stands for.
