I don’t want to hear that there’s no war on women when things like this are more and more prevalent. Why would anyone want to chance getting pregnant when there are prosecutors waiting to punish women for a miscarriage?

Most Caribbean countries have restrictions on entry. Bahamas will only allow felons who have *completed* their sentences. A total of 38 countries will not allow felons to enter. #ProudBlue

Because yeah, he couldn’t have done that.

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

Wow. They’re openly defending the deletion of DOJ records about a man accused in a child solicitation case who assaulted police on January 6. Truly the Epstein administration.

We are very far off the cliff, folks. @CBS should be avoided entirely. Shame on them.

I think I should sue the IRS for using my tax dollars to pay reparations to the people that caused the Jan 6 insurrection. That's not why I pay taxes and that not how my tax dollars should be used.

We found that Jeff Bezos paid zero taxes in 2007 and 2011. In fact, he reported making so little in 2011 that he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children. Revisit our 2021 story:

The first time I’be heard him tell some semblance of the truth……

🚨If a state is making it harder for your family to vote, why reward them with your talent and your NIL money? I said what I said. You can still make it to the NFL, NBA, or anywhere else without propping up politicians attacking democracy and voting rights.

Friends, I’ve been around politics for over 50 years. I’ve never seen anything as brazenly crooked and corrupt as what Trump and his cronies did today.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

So much respect for this exceptional leader! Mamdani disputes Reagan claiming the 9 scariest words are “I’m from the government & I’m here to help,” saying: “9 more terrifying words are actually 'I worked all day, and can't feed my family.' Share everywhere! #uspoli substack.com/@rawstory/no...

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

Baby otters are adorable.🥰

The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.

AOC: “It is time for the North to pull up to the South and let them know exactly what they have uncorked with this injustice. They think they can draw us out of power. They do not know the sleeping giant they just awakened. What they thought was the final blow is actually just the opening silo”

Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person.

I rarely say “major breaking” and rarely put out these video hits, but this is pretty major.

Not a drag queen

If Trump did shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue? Lindsay Graham, John Thune & Senate GOP: "We have no idea why he's killing people in cold blood but we 100% support him Mike Johnson, Steve Scalise & House GOP: "We don't know the context of this murder so we cannot comment" #VoteOutAllGOP

GILLIBRAND: How did we bomb 22 schools? COOPER: There's no indication we have G: So how do you explain publicly available information that 22 schools have been hit and multiple hospitals? C: There's no way we can corroborate that G: Have you investigated those claims? C: We have not

I love this! The next generation gives me hope!

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

$72 BILLION to tear families apart. Not for schools. Not for healthcare. For ICE raids. Our community is not the problem — their cruelty is. Call your rep TODAY. The number is 202-224-3121. We won’t be silent.

1) his speech writer is shit 2) he is falling asleep during the translation 3) he is so offensive it is clear there is no chinese expert there 4) he is bragging about the chinese slaves we used to build a railroad www.c-span.org/program/whit...

JD Vance announced the suspension of $1.3 billion in Medicaid payments to California as part of his new role as "fraud czar" for the Trump Regime. Meanwhile, Trump has pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters, including several who gave money to his campaign and Super PAC. Remember this.

Why is a 76-year-old man doing all the hard work in this moment? Where are the Millennial/Gen Z artists (ahem, Taylor Swift) to shake their audiences into sobriety about what is going on? open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

Kash Patel challenged Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen to take an alcohol disorder test side by side after reports he was drinking heavily and hard to reach. Van Hollen posted his results. Patel is still hiding behind the badge and the bravado.

Why do people hate Democratic Socialism when it so clearly works? You just tax a few obnoxious, power-mad billionaires (Musk, O’Leary, etc.) and make life better for millions. CAN I GET A FREAKING AMEN? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

I quoted the Virginia Constitution and Republicans are losing their minds.🤯 Jonathan Turley suggested I am a "radical" and "Jacobian" for literally quoting the Virginia Constitution's Bill of Rights.😂

Brett Meiselas says RFK Jr. blaming teenagers' sperm and Dr. Oz saying Americans are "under babied" are not only weird—they miss the point. The reason people aren't having kids is simple: income inequality has become so extreme that Americans can barely afford housing and food, let alone raise kids.

I wish someone would corner these chuds on "only when the sun shines or the wind blows." It's spectacularly embarrassing that the ENERGY secretary doesn't know how storage batteries work.

Republicans refused to show up today for the #Epstein survivors testimony. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett explains this shouldn’t be a partisan issue. She’s right. Shameful.

The DOJ filed a lawsuit against Denver CO, alleging the city’s 37-year-old assault weapons ban violates the 2nd Amd. Denver restricts certain semi-automatic AR-15 type rifles and high-capacity magazines. Denver’s mayor says they’ve kept 'weapons of war' off their streets.🧵 #DemsAbroad

"The same Supreme Court that told Black voters in Alabama and Texas that they’d have to live with illegal maps because a primary was four months away had no problem blowing up an ongoing election in Louisiana."

“.. Inflation is now eating up all wage gains for the first time in about three years. This is painful for Americans and a true financial squeeze.” CPI Inflation in past year: 3.8% Wage gains: in past year: 3.6%” @byheatherlong.bsky.social

Rep. Patty Murray: "We need serious leadership at the FBI that the American people can trust…If you want to pass out liquor or pop bottles in a locker room, stick to podcasting. Leave law and order to people who really do care about justice."

Rep. Stansbury: "This administration is choosing to not investigate the crimes that are in these files. The administration is choosing to release the names of survivors and not perpetrators…The administration is trying to gaslight the American people."

Democrats should ensure that voters hear this so much it haunts their dreams this fall.

"Democratic governors and state legislators need to realize that this is no longer about fairness; it’s about fighting back so that they are not engineered out of the House forever. And I get that Dems don’t have the stomach for this kind of warfare--- find it."

Hey, mainstream media: Isn't it about time you start talking to mental-health professionals and reporting to the public about the multiple and manifest mental illnesses that have long been exhibited by the president of the United States?

That entire family is depraved

The first honest thing he’s said

Almost time for this important House Oversight field hearing on the Epstein Files with a critical focus on the survivors who continue to demand justice and accountability.

They're going to ignore this... just like they always do.
