UPDATE: Israel is striking all over Gaza, claiming Hamas violated the ceasefire. Hamas says they didn’t, and it was settlers running over an explosive device. Bottom line: people are still dying, including children.

Over 700 folks showed up to defend democracy in Fairhope, AL.

#ProudBlue Law enforcement pushed peaceful protesters into the street - where they aren’t supposed to be - & then started beating them. But it’s the reporting that’s the problem. Yeah. OK.

The numbers are in and here’s just one example of a Rhode Islander who would see a $683/month premium increase next year if Congress does not act now. Republicans’ health insurance sticker shock is already here.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine. My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask: Why, even now, is no-one asking questions? t.co/BUTtpK9C4S

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live. And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

The confrontation took place at New Hampshire & Webster NW in DC.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

The guy we are saving with $20B bailout

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

1/2 When the Sumud Flotilla was sailing to get medical aid, food, water, and baby supplies to Gaza, Israel captured all the volunteers and arrested them. Some while in international waters. Territorial Sea: Extends up to 12 nautical miles from the coastline. #ProudBlue Video Credit: Anadolu Agency

DOKOUPIL: Republicans says what you're really fighting for is taxpayer dollars for illegal aliens. I know that's not strictly true-- ELIZABETH WARREN: Excuse me, not strictly true? It is a flat out lie!

Democrats are proposing we extend tax credits that are helping millions of Americans better afford health care. Without them, ACA premiums will double. 71% of Americans support that position. That’s the “crazy” policy Republicans are criticizing us for.

I’m told ICE attacked us—despite us being off the street, courtesy of the state police—to create a spectacle because Kristi Noem was present today. Here’s some footage of her and her team on the roof of Broadview. Everything is content creation to these fascists.

Senator Murphy also lays out a clear set of codified demands that Dems can stand for. Among them: *no more using budget to punish enemies *no more using FCC to censor critics *restrictions on ICE lawlessness in interior *clear ban on troops in cities 3/ newrepublic.com/article/2013...

"Most ICE and border patrol agents will continue working during the government shutdown; their status as 'essential' will shield them from the layoffs OMB director Russell Vought has requested in lieu of furloughs from most agencies and departments."

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Who has watched the 24 hour live stream so far that the house Dems are doing on the shutdown????? This should be the biggest story right now and literally 45 people are watching www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrBY...

79. American citizen.

These goons really are operating in their own fascist fantasyland

ICE is abusing/torturing/disappearing/killing people using our tax dollars and in our name.

ICE is firing pellets and pepper balls at journalists in Broadview outside Chicago today, but they're local journalists so it feels like the national media will not care at all. I hope I'm wrong.

Not the most important thing about this video, but the white cop's gun discipline would be hilarious if it weren't so dangerous. Takes it out, tucks it in his waistband while wrestling with a guy, drops it, recovers it, and then points it at bystanders.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

😕 💵

Megan Kelly says she doesn't care that Tom Holman took a bribe and the Trump administration covered it up. Do you?

Oh my god lol This Dutch late night host absolutely eviscerates Trump and Disney- you gotta watch how

inshallah

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

I’ve been at these protests because I feel like our leaders don’t care. I do. This feels ghoulish to ask, but if you want a congresswoman who stands up to ICE, donate to my campaign today. We can’t win without you: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-bluesky

From a former FBI agent.

After her hearing at 26 Federal Plaza, a woman was detained and escorted toward the stairwell. Her husband, confused and in shock, was guided toward the exit. Minutes later, he broke down in the elevator. They entered together, but he left alone. This happens here daily. #ICE

I spent the entire day trying to make someone care about Russia’s murder of 24 people, most of them elderly, who were simply standing in line to collect their pensions. Russia dropped an aerial bomb on them as if they were a military command or strategic object.

Despicable

Russians dropped a glide bomb on elderly people who were waiting in line for their pensions. More than 20 dead. Please. Don’t look away and don’t be silent. This is all I could ask for

Chaired law professor at NYU its.law.nyu.edu/facultyprofi... When people who've devoted their careers to the law start talking like this...

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

President Trump threatened 'WAR' on Chicago in a social media post Saturday as his administration’s large-scale immigration raids loomed over the city. “This is not a joke,” Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker wrote in response to Trump’s post. “This is not normal.”

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social like he said. ⬇️

Something that has been missing from the Trump administration’s review of the Epstein case: considering the survivors. This week, they speak out, and we should all be listening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Judge Blocks Flights Sending Hundreds of Children Back To Guatemala “It is a dark & dangerous moment for this country when (Trump) chooses to target orphaned 10-year-olds and deny them their basic legal right to present their case before a judge” www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:

The average American simply has no idea how quickly the infrastructure that keeps us safe and healthy is collapsing. These systems run in the background thanks to government employees who quietly do critical work. Those employees are being purged and systems are being destroyed.

There is a humanitarian crisis in Chantilly, Virginia. The immigration prisons can't keep up with the massive spike in arrests in DC, so they're overcrowding people into a Virginia office building w/ little access to food, medicine, hygiene, and legal counsel. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/v...
