🚨BREAKING: The White House Thursday refused to rule out the presence of immigration enforcement at voting locations this November, a response that follows extremist rhetoric about placing federal forces at the polls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Forty-four people are dead and 279 are missing after a fire engulfed seven residential towers in Tai Po on Wednesday. Of those hospitalised, 45 remain in a serious condition. In full: buff.ly/sXdgQbB

It makes me sad that an instructor for several major Canadian universities would assert something so verifiably false. People ask why we build weird, bad projects, well part of it is people learn a version of the world that isn't real.

In his futile attempt to justify Musk's $1 trillion pay package, this Musk fluffer overlooks: -Musk's tax rate on his $450BN is only 2.5% so far. -Tesla & SpaceX received $3.7BN of US subsidies & loans. -SpaceX has $22BN in US govt contracts. -Tesla has received $22BN in US ZEV/GHG/IRA credits.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This is what oligarchy looks like: If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break. If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry. Obscene.

If at least 26 billionaires can waste at least $27 million trying to defeat Zohran Mamdani, then those same billionaires can afford to pay an extra 2% on their income over $1 million to make New York a better, thriving city for everyone — including themselves.

26 billionaires spent over $22 million to beat Zohran Mamdani. Why? Because regular people came together around an agenda that prioritized making life easier for more people. It beat big money. That is how we win.

Know your rights when voting today.

Like many Americans, Scott Adams had insurance problems. But unlike most people he has powerful friends on social media, and when he asked President Trump for help, he got the cancer drug he needed.

At Elmhurst Hospital just before midnight with the @nynurses.bsky.social, @1199seiu.org and @dc37nyc.bsky.social workers who care for us, no matter the hour.

For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city. So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.

It’s ok to be terrified by these 🫂

Some of America’s largest corporations are backing Donald Trump’s $300 million ballroom.With no warning, the president razed the White House’s East Wing this week to make way for his lavish project...

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Babes today is a^2 + b^2 = c^2 can you believe that we are living in a time that we can witness a date that is of PYTHAGOREAN TRIPLES www.npr.org/2025/09/16/n...

First time seeing @vilificationtennis.bsky.social what a fun time!

A U.S. citizen and former Marine detained. A 15-year-old boy with no criminal record held at "Alligator Alcatraz." A father who has lived here for 30 years. No criminal record. Still held by ICE after nearly 6 months. We are witnessing the cruelty of Trump's police state.

The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense — yet that's what this GOP budget is all about.

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

A joy to march in NYC Pride with the people's champ Tish James 🏳️‍🌈

Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to ask a question. Padilla was thrown down and handcuffed. A senator in his own state! (He has since been released.) The Trump regime is out of control.

Now Hegseth is saying that the active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton are on alert to come in if the National Guard isn’t enough. The U.S. government is ready to unleash our own military on civilians. It is definitely time to be frightened about what is happening here.

Damn, Larian got on that quick haha

"THE PURPOSE OF CLASSIFYING HIM AS A GANG MEMBER OR GANG ASSOCIATE IS BECAUSE ONCE HE GOES IN FRONT OF AN IMMIGRATION JUDGE WE DON'T WANT HIM TO GET BAIL" --an actual ICE officer, to a reporter while standing in front of a camera he knew was recording him www.thenation.com/article/arch...

The absence, to date, of any reports in US media citing anonymous aides saying something like, “Trump is dead serious about this,” has been an important variable in how I’ve interpreted the Trump-🇨🇦 story. This one breaks the pattern.

WOW! Y’all have sent literally THOUSANDS of emails since we released this form a few hours ago. Keep it up! Let your congressional delegation know how you feel about their actions, whether you’re thankful or scornful. They need to hear it either way.

The Ides of March is my favorite holiday. Which tyrant will *you* be regiciding today in celebration?

A new day, a new Horndle. You know the drill, add your answer below when you get it.

Late last night, Trump fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies. Inspectors general are tasked with rooting out fraud, abuse, and corruption. Trump wants loyalists in these positions — a key tenant of Project 2025. Keep paying attention. wapo.st/3Cptwvg
