true. i do know some shit

The day after the Chinatown raid, New York AG Tish James launches an online portal for the public to submit photos and videos of ICE activity. "We are committed to reviewing these reports and assessing any violations of law," she writes. Portal ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

So White House construction companies: ACECO (demolition): Deleted LinkedIn and Instagram profiles, took down their website with contact information entirely Clark Construction (construction): Limiting Insta comments and hiding or deleting critical ones. Do these companies think we'll all forget?

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport. Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably? But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

Which corporate entities paid for the demolition of the White House as a bribe to the felon Donald Trump? We need names.

christ almighty what is this guy doing www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I think we also see the effects of staying on Vichy Twitter, I seriously doubt the Pod Jons would have made excuses like this pre-2022

Pentagon leadership just told officials, including the Joint Chiefs chair, they now need permission before speaking to Congress. The memo dropped the same day reporters walked out over new press restrictions. Checks and balances aren’t checking and balancing.

🚨BREAKING: A coalition of pro-voting groups is suing Indiana over two new anti-voting laws they say unfairly target naturalized citizens and threaten to remove eligible voters from the rolls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"

I’ve been writing about politics in some capacity for over 25 years now and it’s still stunning how the mainstream media refuses to tell the public basic truth

"I'm not mad. Please don't put it on the TV that I'm mad"

Still appalled at how paltry and terrible the NYT coverage of the protests were and how nobody there feels any responsibility to address the criticism. This was not something that caught them off guard. This was many levels of decisions.

DHS just got caught telling multiple lies about federal agents shooting a US citizen multiple times newrepublic.com/article/2019...

Many of my liberal peers see clearly how mainstream outlets have ruined their already imperiled businesses by capitulating to bad-faith right-wing criticism. They have a harder time seeing that the Democratic Party has fallen victim to the same kind of self-sabotage.

It’s fun to be a Republican when you can just make shit up

"Anything we can actually do, we can afford." We can have a more equal, more prosperous, and more just nation as soon as we embrace this.

as with adams, if sliwa drops out i think a non trivial portion of his support goes to mamdani

learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis will allow a limited deposition of top Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino in an ongoing lawsuit about the treatment of protesters during the Trump administration's deportation campaign in Chicago.

Rule of law is not in effect if they can violate your rights and then just lie about it

Ellis asks if that's consistent with CBP policies involving minors. Harvick: "That was a moment in time … I haven't heard otherwise." He says he doesn't have context for it. "We are held to very high standards, and if I see a fellow agent do something out of policy, it's my duty to report that."

Once you see how mainstream pundits literally blame Democrats for everything, you can’t unsee it. That blame shift filters down to everyone, even people who should know better.

We couldn't find anyone among the 7 million+ No Kings attendees who says they were paid to protest. But X user @crypto4u1488 says each attendee was paid $750 by George Soros and bused in from other states. The truth may lie somewhere in between.

The GOP is trying to con Americans into accepting a deal that will make their health care more expensive by fearmongering about health care for undocumented immigrants. Undocumented people aren’t eligible to enroll in Medicare and Medicaid. Don’t fall for their scam.

What’s the alternative? Shifting to Google or Microsoft cloud ? Tough choice. This stuff is so hard, expensive and technically difficult, hyper consolidation is inevitable with the risks associated, you point out.

Savage @markjacob.bsky.social indictment of the Beltway press's long history of treating Trump like a show, and how that ended up sugar-coating the threat he's posed at every juncture: www.stopthepresses.news/p/my-exclusi...

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago with 70% of the vote yet Mike Johnson refuses to swear in. This is a continuation of the Jan 6 attack that was designed to overturn an election.

😂

Now that Trump has illegally bombed a seventh boat in the Caribbean, please note this: Rep Adam Smith, ranking Dem on Armed Services, tells me that *at no point* have officials given lawmakers even the most basic information about these extrajudicial murders: newrepublic.com/article/2019...

“All my friends murdered and raped, sometimes they hung out at my house. Get over yourself.”

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

probably marks me as old fashioned but i'm not a fan of politicians cursing like this

"This probable decision comes in the midst of an attempted autocratic takeover of the U.S. government in which elections are the only real recourse for the defenders of constitutional and democratic rule."

From today’s No Kings rally in little Williamsburg, VA.

A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

immigrant grocery store owner who voted for Trump to lower grocery prices and then got wrecked by tariffs. mfer you run a business called "Wong Kai Imports" what the hell did you think was gonna happen

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

Tyler the Creator on whether youth culture still exists. I don't know if this is completely true, but it does seem more true today than in the past.

Times Square

would be very fun to make all of trumps regimes bluesky accounts the most blocked accounts on bluesky

Streisand Effect!! Phoenix

Q: On Venezuela, there are survivors from your latest boat strikes. What happens to them? TRUMP: Marco? RUBIO: You'll get that information very shortly Q: How are there survivors when these are meant to be lethal attacks? RUBIO: When we are prepared to announce details, we will

Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Paul McCartney mentioning that he hung out with Jimi Hendrix and he was a “cool guy” is such an insane flex in 2025

In fairness, Buddy Holly didn't really get the opportunity to compete.

what a joy seeing Paul McCartney last night 🐐

Have raised this a few times in articles and directly with a few state-level electeds. If they aren’t already gaming out how to lead tax protests, they’re falling behind. Logistically complicated, but not impossible.
