VJ Edgecomb:

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Lmao 'test of ceasefire' is funny. They broke the ceasefire. AP has gone from sanewashing and passive voice to outright not understanding the definition of words in the dictionary.

We believe that in the wealthiest city in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, working people deserve a dignified life. And to the billionaires who think this movement is an existential threat to their corruption of our democracy: you're right.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

"a test"? you mean...a violation?

This morning I ran the NYC Gaza 5K in Prospect Park for the third time, alongside the Harlem Run Club, to raise money for @unrwausa.bsky.social, which delivers critical humanitarian aid and services to Palestinians in Gaza. I hope you'll join me in donating: unrwausa.org

“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

@reynoldsgareth.bsky.social also the name of that fraudster’s daughter

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

95 democrats, including @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social voted to "honor" the life of charlie kirk, who called for joe biden to be killed and said black women like justice ketanji brown jackson are unqualified affirmative action hires. shame. clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/rol...

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

At least seven historically Black colleges and universities across the South received threats Thursday that caused lockdowns and closures. via @wwno.org

I'm really having trouble processing the relative silence from Barack Obama about a colleague who he'd hosted at the White House, the Minnesota State House Speaker, being assassinated, but rushing to get out a weepy statement about Charlie fucking Kirk.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

this is really fuckin wild

i reviewed NBA 2K26 for @endlessmode.bsky.social because someone had to while you're all playing silksong: www.endlessmode.com/article/comm...

Actually wild that the Texas legislature banned trans people from bathrooms in government buildings yesterday and it hasn’t gotten a whiff of news coverage in the Associated Press, NYT, WaPo, etc I guess the national news biz is just shrugging at this stuff now?

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: you said this three days ago. And now today you want to find bipartisan solutions with them? Why should any person take you fucking seriously? bsky.app/profile/hake...

Say their names: Mu'adh Abu Taha, Maryam Abu Daqa, Muhammad Salama, and Hossam Al-Masri. Israel killed FOUR journalists today, as they bombed Nasser, as they have bombed every hospital for two years now. They’re among 275 journalists murdered by US-Israel

Not a foul, let alone a yellow

There should be a max voting age for national and state level elections

Did SNY randomly decide to change what is in network or whatever? This sucks

At (another) Hampton’s fundraiser with Republican donors on Saturday, Andrew Cuomo said it plainly: he’s expecting Trump’s help to defeat us in November. “I feel good about that,” Cuomo said. New Yorkers won’t.

A 4-year-old boy’s ongoing care for stage 4 kidney cancer was interrupted when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers illegally deported him, his sister and mother “without even a semblance of due process.”

what's going on with kilmar abrego garcia really reminds me of when israel struck the al-ahli hospital in 2023. they spent so long rtying to deny it, conconting evidence and manipulating information. now they've bombed every hospital in gaza. in a year the govt won't care enough to even pretend

The targeted killing of Anas al-Sharif and five other journalists on Sunday means at least 242 Palestinian journalists have been killed by Israeli forces since the beginning of October 2023. No conflict in modern history has seen a higher number of journalists killed.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Every city in America should shut down its Main Street every weekend and play jazz and let you have a glass of wine

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda. This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

NEW: Mayor Eric Adams’ re-election campaign submitted faked and fraudulently obtained petition signatures in his effort to secure a spot on the November ballot as an independent candidate, a Gothamist investigation has found. gothamist.com/news/forged-...

It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

EX GREEN BERET: “In my entire career, I never witnessed the brutality and use of indiscriminate & unnecessary force against an unarmed, starving civilian population until I was in Gaza at the hands of IDF & US contractors… without question, war crimes.”

WATCH — @anakasparian.bsky.social unleashes on Shabbos Kestenbaum: “No, I’m gonna let you filibuster, b*tch… I can’t stand it. It’s unbearable.”

The clerks where I get my lunch said a man came in last week and asked them where the public entrance to 26 Federal Plaza was. He locked his bike outside, and it’s been there since.

Am I allowed to say Democratic leadership is messing this up now? Or is it still wrong to call the House Democratic caucus leader a Democratic leader, and to criticize him for prioritizing intramural fights after the primary instead of welcoming the winners’ energy to help with our biggest problem?
