An "extraordinary number of violations." Elon Musk’s Boring Co. Fined for Nearly 800 Alleged Violations on Las Vegas Tunnel Project, by @anjeanette-damon.bsky.social @oyvegas.bsky.social

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit. This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2016...

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.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7." @timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

This is real. This... {deep breaths} I cannot even find the right word... actually said this about this year's richly deserving Nobel Peace Prize winner. He did everything he could to denigrate her win. (Screenshot below altered merely to remove an ad.)

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

New blockbuster reporting on the secretive map drawing process in Texas. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

BREAKING: Sens. DURBIN, DUCKWORTH were just denied entrance to the Broadview ICE Facility in Illinois, unable to conduct constitutional role of oversight.

This is not a border crossing. There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior. This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

His slip of the tongue reveals who’s really in charge. trib.al/mIvP0yE “Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

Thou shalt not shoot pastors in the head with smoke bombs. I shouldn’t have to say this.

Per reporting today, Letitia James wrote (in caps): “NOT MY PRIMARY RESIDENCE” in several places on the mortgage application for her niece’s house AND on the check. The guy that commits actual crimes needs to make shit up to avoid accountability for himself.

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

BREAKING: Masked Border Patrol agents aggressively arrested WGN video producer Debbie Brockman in Lincoln Square Friday morning, supposedly for "obstructing justice." (Video via Josh Thomas on Facebook) Follow @heartlandsignal for more.

This guy left his job as a TV host to be a full-time TV guest and part-time social media shitposter.

All to cover up the Epstein files.

One thing we've learned from the American judicial system: The first 34 felonies are on the house*. *Terms and conditions may apply. See prosecutors for details if you're not white. Or rich.

Today is World Homeless Day, and after years reporting on this crisis, I'll just say: homelessness is neither inevitable nor intractable. It's the result of choices—political, economic, moral—that can be unmade. And this: how we treat the unhoused is a bellwether for the violence we will tolerate.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

This is a really clear yet meaty interview with @mark-bray.bsky.social about the actual tactics and history of antifa movements. Will be sharing with students! www.cbc.ca/radio/frontb...

The attack on Mark is another stunt by right-wing grifters to victimize a random person in an effort to use MAGA fear mongering to justify their existence. It should go without saying we should do anything possible to support his family.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second. We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles. You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Stay the course ! We must continue talking about the Epstein files. Right wing media will try to distract the public by talking about the Israel- Hamas Peace deal. This Hostage release is meaningless to our cause. Releasing these Epstein documents is paramount to our fight and to regaining power.

Jimmy Kimmel returns with unfinished business over Trump’s birthday letter to Epstein

Oversight Democrats have one message for Speaker Johnson: Stop the Shutdown, Release the Files!

This powerful JB Pritzker response to Trump's lawless threats is another reminder of what I tried to argue this morning: Pritzker understands Stephen Miller's theory of this moment, and he's responding accordingly: newrepublic.com/article/2014...

“This is the largest interruption of benefits in the history of this program put into law 90 years ago by Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Frances Perkins.” – Former Social Security Administration Commissioner @martinomalley.bsky.social

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command. The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

“We all swore an oath to the Constitution, and I am honestly scared… he’s going through with these authoritarian actions.” Sen. Brian Schatz It’s political terrorism on Americans. And too many Republicans are enabling it.

The Americans starving these children wear crucifixes and call themselves “Christians.” People are not what they tell you they are; they are how they behave. apnews.com/article/myan...

"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021.”

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi." The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files. Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

I continue to just respect the hell out of this guy

As alarmed as people may be, they aren't alarmed enough. Trump just escalated this crisis from a fight between the federal government and a state, to a situation where one state is deploying armed forces to impose its will on another state. www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

Practically speaking, almost everyone reading this will live to see 79 year-old, dementia-ridden, heartless, soulless Donald Trump be buried. If that helps you get through your day, I'll have done my job.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California. DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states. We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.
