IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: The crypto (crypto money) takeover continues: The Politico article below, titled “Van Hollen blasts AIPAC, crypto spending for Hoyer’s chosen successor,” speaks for itself. You can access the article by clicking the link here: www.politico.com/live-updates...

"The Americans can't get the slime out of their capital's monument pool and will arrest you for touching it," sounds like the sort of lie they'd tell us in the Soviet Union so we'd stop bitching about bread lines.

Adam Hoffman “didn’t even have to register as a sex offender in Texas — after admitting to molesting a child, an eight-year-old boy. That’s how good the sweetheart deal was for Adam Hoffman.”

“During the press conference, Talarico criticized Paxton’s handling of the case, saying, ‘Ken Paxton had the chance to protect a child. Instead, he protected a predator. I find that unconscionable, and I think most Texans do, too.’” www.fox44news.com/news/local-n...

This is Nolan. His humans have kissed all the color off of his face over the last ten years. Some seniors are silver foxes, he is a silver sweetie pie. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (FB: Alyssa Woznicki)

Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today! We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.

When I bought my house, it was a gut reno. Or so I was told. But they didn’t redo any of the plumbing. From 1951. The week I moved in the toilets started exploding. It was a total horror show. I had spent everything I had on the down payment, on my own. I had to replace half the plumbing.

"Recapping. In these months, the President of the United States Donald Trump has praised Putin, Kim Jong-un, Orbán, Netanyahu, Lukashenko, Xi Jinping. And he has attacked: Pope Leo XIV, Meloni, Macron, Starmer, Merz, Sanchez, Carney, the European Union and NATO."

Senate Democrats urge FCC to BLOCK the Paramount-Time Warner merger Memo: FCC should "honestly answer a fundamental question: Whether placing 49% of the equity in the parent company of CBS, CNN & 28 TV stations into the hands of 3 foreign governments serves the American public"

As everyone is saying, this botched job is a metaphor for the whole administration.

Know what TV show actually wouldn’t get made today? The Twilight Zone. Half of these fuckin’ episodes are about fascism.

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

when republicans start their inevitable whining about people making a big deal over the paint peeling algae infested reflecting pool remind them who made it a big deal in the first place lol

We were the only UNIONIZED employees he’d ever had, too. I am broke as hell now, but I’ll never regret saying this: EAT SHIT, YOU PATHETIC TWERP. No matter how much cash you accrue, you’ll never know the joy of solidarity. Your life is empty, and you’ll be remembered as a warning to children.

“it’s a long time ago” these murderers make me sick

Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy blasts US-Iran MoU as 'worst foreign policy blunder in decades'.

I get the impulse to "Leopards, faces, etc" these stories. But doing so misses a much bigger and more important point: The nation's largest, most powerful GOP state organization has gone all-in on unfiltered hatred - to the point that it stunned those who've spent their life confronting such hate.

Protests broke out in Senatobia, Mississippi, amid mounting anger over the police killing of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley. Police tear-gassed protesters at the Walmart where the shooting happened, even as the city placed the officer on administrative leave. www.mississippifreepress.org/anger-mounts...

He's lying. You know why we know? WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT HE SIGNED!!!! Here's the operative language: "The U.S. undertakes, together with regional partners, a comprehensive plan...for the rehabilitation and economic development of Iran...of at least $300 billion."

Meet Crumb, Button, and Clover. A friend in the Bay Area found them behind a gas station. Unfortunately, she isn't able to keep them, so if she can't find someone to adopt them, they will be going to a shelter. Can you help me find them a home? They are in good health and very tame.

Data centers are literally changing the environment around them. A new study found they may be raising temperatures for miles around their facilities, harming plants, animals, and people alike. We deserve answers before more of these projects are approved across our state.

A Michelle Obama Appreciation Post: I deeply admire your elegance, graciousness, beauty, accomplishments, relatability & effortless class. Thank you for being one of the greatest First Ladies of all time!🙏 Much ❤️ from one of your countless fans, Mar🐫

i think this makes three now lol, entire giants beat has maria hader in their notifications 😭😭😭

Am seeing some very moving WWI memorials here in northern France including this one to the Australians who suffered terrible losses and miraculously recovered many wounded from no man’s land. Very intending feelings knowing these fields and farmlands were home to such senseless killing.

Reuters has a livestream of working trying to remove algae from the reflecting pool 😆

Today, the Trump Admin announced they will be moving critical special education programs from the Dept. of Ed to HHS — an agency headed up by RFK Jr. who has repeatedly made disparaging comments about students with special needs.

Out of 136 Fox News segments covering Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico, two-thirds included anti-LGBTQ attacks.

This is the one-year anniversary of Melissa's death. Worth a read if you have the time.

Thank you President Obama. 🙏 I appreciate your honesty, intelligence, dignity, integrity, humility & humor. 👍 Looking forward to the opening of your Presidential Center this week! 👀 Wishing you & your family all the best & continued success, Mar🐫

Thanks to Trump's tax cuts, 88 corporations — including Coinbase, CVS, and Disney — paid ZERO federal income tax last year. They also spent $852M on political donations and lobbying. Their combined tax savings: over $26 BILLION (a 3,000% ROI!) We must break this corrupt cycle.

Happy Obama Appreciation Day “History really doesn’t follow a straight line. It zigs and zags, but the trend lines ultimately will be in the direction of a less violent, more empathetic, more generous world. And that requires individuals fighting for that future,” Barack Obama So do not give up

I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support that Michelle has poured into me over the years. Her story — from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center.

101-year-old Bill Greason, the oldest living Major Leaguer, threw out the first pitch for the Birmingham Barons Thursday night. ❤️ Reverend Greason served in World War II and played alongside Willie Mays with Birmingham in 1948.

When's the best time to drop the 20,000 word analysis of the FEMA Review Council report you've been working on for weeks? I don't know but I am going with *checks notes* 9:00pm on a Friday night. Cheers, kids! www.disaster-ology.com/blog/femarev...

Mom Casually Mentions Her Bunco Group Threw Molotov Cocktails At ICE Last Week

That’s the perfect name for this time of oligarchs: “the Re-Gilded Age.”

This week, we launched Team Texas Public Schools with in-person events in 10 Texas school districts. It's clear that Texans are ready to fight to save Texas public schools. If you haven't already, join us by texting SCHOOLS to 80191.

For decades, Dan Patrick has sold out the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable to enrich his donors. Love feels like blasphemy when you worship power.

A federal judge just ordered the Trump administration to reinstall exhibits and signs relating to slavery ​and climate change that it ⁠had removed from ​parks and monuments nationwide

At the “Don’t Sharia My Texas” luncheon at the Texas GOP convention, two Muslim lawmakers are being accused of implementing Sharia by…using the legislative process…. to propose non-binding resolutions… that recognize Ramadan or combat Islamophobia.

I spend a not-insignificant amount of my day job monitoring Islamophobia and even I am taken aback by how extreme things have been at this convention.
