Finally, some common sense from Oklahoma education. Ryan Walters turned classrooms into culture war battlegrounds. Reversing his Bible mandate isn’t “anti-religion,” it’s accepting the fact that the Bible is not a history book! Schools should teach, not preach.

This is such an easy issue to win on, because ice is terrorizing everyone. And if no one wants to leave their house and spend money eventually all those rich people that think this isn't affecting them are going to be effected.

Trump appointed Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran said Wednesday the U.S. economy has lost momentum, challenging Trump’s repeated claims of strength. “The economy was weaker in the first half of the year versus where it was last year,” Miran told CNBC. www.rawstory.com/stephen-mira...

A group of far right assholes have showed up to protest at David Douglas high school after students allegedly pushed back at a formation of a turning point chapter. School is out & they are outnumbered by predominantly Black & Brown students roasting the fuck out of them.

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

I’ve been hearing the same thing from Republicans behind the scenes, but they’ve also been telling reporters that they’re going to put their foot down when Trump does ____ and then they promptly fold. I’ll have to see it to believe it.

I don’t think they will, no.

Trump is going to continue to do everything in his power to try to incite violence somewhere. If Portland and Chicago don’t work, he’ll probably go to New York. He’s looking for a reason to invoke the Insurrection Act.

To be completely fair to him, he’s drunk - hard to be a good leader when you’re sloshed. It’s even harder to be a good leader when you have absolutely no leadership qualities to speak of… so he’s double fucked. And yes, nobody should sign that.

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.) Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Some day, all of these congresspeople are going to be remembered in shame. This will be their legacy.

Yes. This.

Portland is burning, people!

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters. And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

This Is Fascism

Trump’s Argentina bailout enriches one well-connected US billionaire. (I'm not an expert, but it sort of sounds like insider trading to me. Thoughts?) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Imagine that

Josh Hawley and Yale Law School, ladies and gentlemen.

Isn’t it a clue if you’ve been sued over 400 times in 9 months, FFS?!🤦‍♀️ Apparently for 47’s crime regime, it’s a badge of honor.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

what the actual f--- who the hell would take leaks from the administration at face value at this point?

Charlie Kirk’s assassination was horrific. That doesn’t change the fact that the vast majority of gun (and political) violence has been perpetuated by right wingers. You don’t get to change the narrative at will.

I agree with you Lee No fallen hero, Mr Kirk. But today I will honor a hero Todd Beamer and so many Courageous Heroes. Firefighters &First Responders Honor the Fallen #NeverForget

It’s NINE ELEVEN and we’re going to spend all day on this whitewashing hagiography of a white supremacist hate filled agitator? OK THEN.

Losing my goddamned mind. We can condemn political violence without valorizing a destructive, hateful bigot.

i think anyone saying he practiced politics the right way or that we should continue his work should first have to read out loud his last days worth of posts to someone they love who doesnt know who he is

The thing no one in media or politics seems to be considering is that it could be someone on the far right, particularly given Kirk’s capitulation on Epstein. We simply have no idea and yet MAGA has just reached its own conclusion and weaponized it whether it’s true or not, like always.

So MSNBC reportedly fired Matthew Dowd tonight just hours after Jesse Watters called for his "immediate" termination over his Charlie Kirk shooting comments. Meanwhile, Watters said he's going to "avenge" Kirk's death because "they are at war with us" -- and he'll face no repercussions from Fox.

@matthewjdowd.bsky.social said nothing wrong. Go read his quote. On point. Pathetic move by MSNBC leadership.

apnews.com/article/fact... FOCUS: A look at false and misleading claims made by RFK Jr. during Senate hearing

We are demanding today that all of the Epstein files be released. We have 212 Democrats and 4 Republicans. We need just two more signatures to force the release, so we gather here to confront these corrupt forces. #ReleaseTheEntireEpsteinFiles #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

A decade ago, the Heritage Foundation went full meltdown about how Obama was an imperial president when he had issued about the same number of executive orders -- though he had reached it after six years, not six months.

Such a good piece by @idaronson.bsky.social -- www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Chalk writing !! Unbelievable

Raddatz asks how anyone could object to the National Guard in DC because carjackings are down 87%. Brilliant. If they hermetically sealed all DC residents inside their homes, they could get that stat down to nothing at all. Should we do that, Martha?

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

this is honestly the farce that the white house correspondents' association deserves. and every mainstream outlet that sits next to the administration's shills and laughs in unison with them should jump in a lake.

Thanks to all of you, Democracy Docket has crossed 500,000 YouTube subscribers!🥳 www.youtube.com/democracydoc...

In 2022-after the shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo-President Joe Biden enacted the first gun safety legislation in almost 30 years Conversely-after Las Vegas-Donald Trump made promises, but backed down once he met with the NRA If we want to end school shootings, we must elect more Democrats

🔥🔥🔥

The biggest problem with this frat-boy culture in the Supreme Court is that any possible hope that sense or even moral responsibility will come to the rescue, evaporates as these frocked dude-bros compete to out-strident and out-bully each other in the court of MAGA.

Dear god, just listen to the types of questions Trump gets asked now that he's filtered out most of the actual journalists

Put aside that it seems patently obvious Roger Clemens used steroids and Trump had nothing to do with Pete Rose’s chances of getting into the Hall of Fame Why is a US president inserting himself into decisions involving private, independent sports organizations

It’s wild, absolutely wild, how for EVERY. SINGLE. CITY. Trump wants to militarize I can post data showing how crime is plummeting in all of them without any federal invasion… … and the press KEEPS stenographing the naked bad-faith claims about “fighting crime!” in the headlines. Infuriating.
