“Wisconsin residents sue Microsoft over noise caused by new data center *** Residents have also complained the area has become a ‘dust bowl’ due to construction” 7/4/26

The administration has ended the requirement to publicly report those post-release deaths. That reporting existed for a reason.

The Trump administration’s budget request for the next fiscal year includes steep cuts to passenger rail. But rural Republicans have historically relied on it. How is this playing out with voters in real time, particularly ahead of the midterm elections? Chris Vazquez took the train to find out.

A person could now be released while gravely ill because of mistreatment, neglect, or inadequate medical care while in the facility and die shortly afterward. That death even though it was caused by ICE would no longer appear in ICE’s public post-release reporting.

supposedly Ukrainians hacked into a Russian site that told people where gas was available then when they drove there they found out none was available. HAHAHA

Made this meme about 6 years or so back when whining about "dissent" as "un-American" was prevalent on a Twitter thread. Still stands....

Late 19th-century farm abandonment in the Northeast US led to the greatest forest recovery in the history of the world, as trees returned naturally. The result is that the region is 3 or 4 degrees cooler than it would otherwise be, mitigating climate breakdown. insideclimatenews.org/news/0407202...

This is the flag we should all be flying for our 250 Country Birthday! Major Jason Watson of the US Air Force holding a Sign in DC! Impeach/Convict/Remove! Was arrested for protesting in uniform at the Capitol. #MajorWatson #USDemocracy #IStandWithJasonWatson #4thOfJuly #FIFA

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli inferred a statewide adoption program was underway off the back of child safety inquiry. "We've heard this justification before. Every removal in the Stolen Generation was framed as protection in their best interests." #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

Fireworks show choked Washington with smoke, officials issued Code Red In Washington, on Sunday residents experienced the worst air quality in the world among large cities according to IQAir after a massive 40-minute Independence Day fireworks show. mezha.net/eng/bukvy/99...

If kosa passes I want the whole internet to declare war. I'm not joking violence is the only answer at this rate

A Tennessee conservation nonprofit has acquired a 600-acre tract bordering the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, protecting one of the largest remaining privately owned parcels next to the park from future development. www.goodnewsnetwork.org/great-smokey...

Calistoga, a rustic and scenic town at the north end of the Napa Valley, famous for its mud baths, has rejected a proposed data center on town fair grounds. Residents were concerned about house, water usage, and pollution. #SayNoToDataCenters

#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #DV1 #ONEV1 @aoc.bsky.social: “AMERICA IS NOT WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE RIGHT NOW”. It’s every citizen who lives there. Their votes decide who’ll be in charge. If disappointed, they can correct the course. Next chance: The midterm. x.com/leftywinter/...

More money in your pocket, more food in the fridge, more gas in the tank — it’s as simple as that. You deserve a state government whose first focus is taking care of hardworking families like yours.

Remember the chaos in NYC when the Knicks became champions? If Mexico somehow manages to pull it off, we’ll see a national-level “hold my beer” moment. ¡Viva México, cabrones!

The interesting thing about why Norway dominates at international sports is that they have a culture of not permitting ranking or competition in kids before they turn 12. It promotes cooperation and enjoyment instead. Along with affordable access, it means sports there are more equitable.

"The Tommy Tuberville Foundation’s treasurer couldn’t say whether the senator had kept his promise. 'Coach has to live with that himself, I know what he said and I know what he promised — me and the people heard that,' he said. 'I’m not trying to cover for him'....” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

It’s unsurprising but shameful nonetheless that Sen. McConnell’s office won’t tell his own constituents what is happening. He’s leaving office, and this life, the way he lived it. As a disappointment.

Meet Kaylee, who we rescued today 🥰 🐾

It was an honor to break bread this morning with the Department of Veteran Services and so many service members as we kick off Fleet Week here in New York City.

Dumb assholes.

"The democracy challenges of the present and the history of the youth advocacy for the 26th Amendment demonstrate that a Second Founding is both necessary and possible. July 5th should be America’s first day of a bold Second Founding agenda." www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-n...

Every word. 💯 #SheShed

Here's video evidence and proof of the vandals who messed up the Trumpy Reflectin' Pond. The obese orange idiot is in the car with all the stupid flags. He did it. Lets not forget his car weighs over 23,000 lbs..

AP: Trump will not seek new bids to repair the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. This is what happens when you lie, cheat, and bully your way into a job you're not qualified for and everything you touch turns to shit. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #ETTD

Oh to be a fly on the wall when this went down “I think that women shouldn't be afraid to clapback and raise their voice and be nasty because sometimes it's necessary." "The clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings. And you are still more sensitive. That's quite an achievement…” -Kathrin Gebel #Pinks

I don't think Balogun deserved the red card, but I also don't like this decision by FIFA. Just as I didn't like the allowance of Ronaldo to skip his ban or the Iranian team having to go back to Mexico after every game. FIFA is corrupt, and the current American government is corrupt. Oh, go Mexico.

this is why we can't have nice things. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/u...

There is no such thing as a starter job. Who is making your whopper at 11am on a school day? Pay people enough to thrive.

Has FIFA told us what the final score in Monday’s USA v Belgium game is going to be yet?

Another huge victory for the birthright citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment

Gavin Newsom says even the critics of Zohran Mamdani have to acknowledge his success on election night: I certainly reached out and texted him. This guy figured it out a year ago or more, and his influence continues to grow. It certainly grew the other day during the election.

Mitch McConnell held up the replacement for Justice Antonin Scalia following his death...but this is bloody ridiculous!

Congress built a birthday party for ALL of America. He built a knockoff…staffed it with his fundraisers…and per the House report…donors got wire instructions routing money HIS way. There's a word for that in the federal code, my friend.

"In nearly every state, the official humanities nonprofits created by a congress to help make history and literature accessible to all Americans had to give up their 250th anniversary planning when DOGE pulled their federal funding..." www.notus.org/agencies/dog...

Last night during the fireworks. And if this isn't a perfect representation of our current federal government, I have no idea what would be. Fuckin' Sleepy Joe, man...

If a program helped you survive as a child, protecting it for today’s children should be common ground. Every child deserves food, dignity & a fair chance Empathy means remembering where you came from & ensuring others have the same chance to overcome hardship Cruelty is all repubs know! #SheShed

Texans who value independence may vote for independence, finally! Independence from the political paralysis that mandated voting for a political party that has ruled for 22 years, but has poorly represented and served middle-class Texans for all that time while catering to the billionnaire-class.

my daughter accomplished something remarkable today by tipping head over heels while lunging for a rubber ducky at the local fair and falling right into the duck pond. she's soaked but fine otherwise and even the seasoned carnival worker said she had never seen anything like that before.
