So wait. 300 FBI agents responded to the insurrection to defend the Capitol. MAGA is somehow pretending this proves Trump is innocent. So let’s say the FBI agents were in the crowd to stir this up… which they weren’t. Wouldn’t that mean Trump used the FBI to help his coup?

Should billionaires be taxed more? The debate grows in France – and around the world

In my fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, we were required to memorize this, “The True Gentleman.” Back then it was just a thing we did, but now it hits differently, and is needed in today’s men

Just as oil futures and spectrum auctions unlocked waves of investment, turning compute into a tradable commodity will be needed to fuel the AI boom.

ICE just chased everyone off the public road by the Broadview facility. They yelled for people to move and immediately began firing gas into the crowd, which included legal observers, press, and medics.

Michigan district 7 Our job is to make sure Tom Barrett does not get reelected, he voted for the big ugly bill taking away peoples health care, meals on wheels and snap benefits. He voted to take away from you and give the ultra wealthy tax breaks ,he works for them not you. #Vote #VoteOutAllRepubs

The news ain’t talkin about this at all

Pay Attention

The meritocracy and the media that normalizes it.

Trump is threatening to sabotage HIS OWN GOVERNMENT if there is a shutdown. Ok. Thats dumb but you own that. Why are we not hearing Dem leaders saying that? “Well that sounds reckless, Americans won’t be happy about that.”

It’s still unclear what basis the government has for indicting Comey—but either way, evidence suggests they may have issues proving their case.

Trump authorizes troop deployment and use of 'full force if necessary' in Portland

Remember the Russia Report, which Boris Johnson held back until he'd won his election? At the press announcement when it was finally published, we were told that British security services hadn't looked into Russian interference in the 2016 referendum because they hadn't been asked to. #r4today

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

Philly-area home cleaners say they’ve taken on more millennial clients since the pandemic, marking a shift from previous decades. Those clients say the reasons for hiring them include being busy with work and kids, a desire to save time, and peace of mind.

Congress, not the president, controls the power of the purse. That is not politics. That is Article I of the Constitution. Handing that authority to the executive today sets a dangerous precedent that undermines the checks and balances our system depends on.

Former FBI Director James Comey is a longtime critic of US President Donald Trump and testified against him in 2020.

The financial economy is immersed in the kind of wild gambling we saw leading up to the 2008 financial crisis. We’re seeing it all over again — this time with crypto, meme stocks, junk bonds, and investors pumping up shares of AI stocks without knowing what it is. Be warned.

"My heart is broken for the Department of Justice but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system, and I'm innocent, so let's have a trial," Comey said.

My assessment of the charges against Jim Comey, what the government will have to prove, what happens next and what we can expect the judge to do, & why this is ultimately about Donald Trump, as much as if not more so, than it is about Comey. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Well done, Kristi Noem, she who, btw, STILL has not had to publicly answer for the racial profiling policies at DHS that resulted in this disaster. Can no enterprising reporter confront her about this international disaster?

I’m deeply alarmed by this morning’s shooting at the ICE facility in Dallas and am monitoring the situation closely. My prayers are with the victims and their families affected by this senseless act.

Oh no. Wait. Don’t go. www.koco.com/article/ryan...

Actions now being taken by Trump and his regime may seem far-removed from your daily life or the lives of people you care about. But they’re not. I don't want to alarm you, but I do want you to be prepared. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/warning-to-you-and-your-loved-ones

Listen Russ, you are a malignant political hack. We will not be intimidated by your threat to engage in mass firings. Get lost.

Danish police said drone activity in Aalborg airspace similar to drone sightings that shut down Copenhagen airport.

Hillary Clinton: "When I hear people like Kennedy talking about getting back to a time where we aren't vaccinating, we're drinking raw milk - yeah, & people didn't live! I mean, this is so crazy, it's so wrongheaded, it's so shortsighted and it's going to cause deaths... it already is costing lives"

Today’s tragedy at the Dallas ICE Field Office shows how dangerous anti-immigrant rhetoric has become. Words that dehumanize don’t just poison politics — they fuel violence. My thoughts are with the families who lost loved ones as we work with officials for clarity and accountability.

Donald Trump’s climate denial is an abomination and a disgrace. History is watching, and future generations are counting on us to act.

RFK has shown time and time again he’s not up for this job. He’s taking this country backwards and jeopardizing the health of a generation. It’s long past time for him to resign.

This is genuinely wonderful and also makes me so mad that our own health authorities are doing everything they can to destroy the research infrastructure in the US. We're on the verge of so many breakthroughs in alzheimers, cancer and other diseases!

South Korea’s consumer confidence dropped for the first time since March, as concerns over higher US tariffs on the export-dependent economy and persistent weakness in construction weighed on sentiment, the central bank said

I like this history which includes who Chris Christie has been.

BREAKING: The Epstein Files just got one step closer to being released. With Adelita Grijalva’s victory in AZ-07, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna now have the magic number — 218 votes — needed for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein Files.
