UPDATE this morning on the "Broadview Six" case: The @chicago.suntimes.com, @chicagotribune.com and @bettergov.bsky.social have moved to intervene, seeking access to today's hearing over grand jury transcripts. Full motion here: cst.brightspotcdn.com/9e/77/205924...

House Republicans aren’t keen on Trump $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded pot of $$ for convicted crooks Rep Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA): “We’re gonna kill it” Rep David Schweikert (R-AZ): “I have big concerns about it” Rep Don Bacon (R-NE): How did President negotiate with himself?

“You’re the first guy in America who’s lost his show because we got a president who can’t take a joke.” “And because Larry and David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want.” variety.com/2026/tv/news...

What’s happening in Florida under Trump’s ICE is deeply disturbing. People are being held past release dates, shackled on buses for hours, and cycled through jails over and over. That’s why I introduced the NICE Act & a series of oversight actions with @robertgarcia.house.gov to end these abuses.

Sarah Matthews: "I really am thankful to someone like James Comey, who went out on TV and is pushing back…He's showing that he will not stand for that and that he is fighting for our democracy. I'm really grateful to him for his courage and bravery."

Wow. This NYC pop up is 🔥 The Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room is open as a public installation displaying all 3.5 million pages of the released and partially redacted Epstein files, printed and bound into 3,437 volumes. This shouldn’t just stay in NYC. Take it on the road.

for them, the whole point is keeping white people in control - the "white solidarity" that Elon Musk says America needs to survive

We’ve officially reached more than 60 days of the Iran war. That is over 60 days where billions in federal dollars went to conflict abroad instead of lowering costs for families here at home. You deserve better. That’s why I introduced a War Powers Resolution to end this war. Stay loud.

This wind farm is on the Gobi Desert. One day's wind power generation in Gansu reached 227 GWh. 👏👏👏👏💙😎💙

Trump: "We have a man who is doing a great job. I knew it! Because he kept me out of jail for years. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. He kept me out of jail."

Could you get any more vile?

A lot of liberals simply cannot comprehend the moral injury many of us feel knowing that we voted Joe Biden into office and he then spent 15 months committing genocide while trying to gaslight us about it. You can't just scold people into getting over that.

Microsoft fires head of Israeli subsidiary and other managers over surveillance of Palestinians following an internal investigation. "The center of the controversy is the use of Azure Cloud storage by Israeli intelligence units in their surveillance of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank."

I’ve reached out to NY AG James’ office and Mayor Mamdani’s office to find out how they plan on responding to this gross overreach.

Someone was trying to hack my X account (i had deleted it from my phone but until tonight didn’t delete the account itself) so if you see anything suspicious please let me know It’s not me

FYI trans Americans with a Canadian ancestor can apply for expedited processing on their applications for Canadian citizenship!

This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.

Today in things that make me proud to be Mayor: PS 889's Hyper Pigmentation became 2-time Minecraft champs at the City's Annual Video Game Festival. Gaming doesn’t have to be a male-dominated industry. NYC is a top recruiter of gaming jobs & we want the next gen of hires to look more like our city.

Amen

Oh my god?

what a great night to block every reply guy who wants to whinge about "the future" get back to me when you have a publishing deal and a pile of awards for your A.I. bullshit (Also: eatf.art/ai )

The same way the government paid farmers not to grow crops in the 1930s they should pay annoying people not to become influencers. I have no personal stake in this idea btw

Good news for voting rights in Montana! Our Montana Federation of Public Employees members won a preliminary injunction to protect Montanans' right to have their voices heard and votes count by defending same day voter registration on election day. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The greatest innovation billionaires have come up with is they found a way to have billions of dollars and still be miserable and angry all the time

I love this as a model for what to do when voting is not enough, because it's not.

OTOH, fully agree with this from @gregsargent.bsky.social: “those Democrats who warned that the ballroom was a ‘distraction’ from kitchen table issues effectively hand-waved away those darker intentions, proceeding as if they don’t carry big stakes for our civic well-being and democratic future.”

This guy’s the chief economic advisor to the president.

I say again: Billionaires, Zohran Mamdani is the best friend you have in this world, and you are fools if you don't see it!

A wonderful sentence from this story, describing the video of the man who threw a rock at a seal for no reason getting beat up by a local: "Meanwhile, an unidentified gentleman begins wailing on him."

The school originally offered $100,000, but then they raised it to $125,000 to avoid having to apologize. Seriously. Still, good for Jane Khan! Lovely that she stood up for herself and won. www.thehandbasket.co/p/settlement...

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

A woman suffering abuse called 911 to protect herself & her daughter. Police arrived and handed her over to ICE fascists, who deported her and her daughter, who is a US citizen. Women suffering abuse risk deportation due to Trump's ICE policy. Horrific. letsaddresstexas.substack.com/p/texas-is-t...

I liked this headline back when it was about (Kahn Academy|edX|YouTube|MasterClass|Skillshare|"The Information Superhighway!"|Sally Freaking Struthers)...

Protesters packed the hallways outside the Senate hearing room at the Louisiana State Capitol. Lawmakers debated new congressional maps that could eliminate one of the state's two majority-Black districts. Read more:

Utah bringing the HEAT!! Yaaasss!!

Utah's plan to effectively outlaw VPNs is incoherent.

The 17 pharmaceutical companies anchoring TrumpRx, the White House’s new prescription drug-pricing program, poured more than $130 million into federal lobbying in 2025 — a nearly 23% surge that outpaced the broader industry as the plan was being shaped behind the scenes.

Bravo @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social This is how it's done, for the rest of you in the mediasphere
