When our son was born it was a complicated birth & my wife needed me at home for the next 2 weeks. I got chastised by a supervisor for “taking so much time off.” Anyway—I’m glad that even though McConnell voted against paid parental leave, he gets unlimited leave & health care on the taxpayer dime.

Why?

NEW: If you missed it yesterday, here is my interview with Epstein survivor Annie Farmer who met with Todd Blanche last week. He was condescending, took no responsibility, and presented a crude hypothetical about rape investigations. www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-epstei...

A hometown hero. 💙☘️ #Blues

This is the same thing the Nazis did to the Germans. Federal Agents Were Told F.B.I. Will No Longer Investigate ICE Confrontations Senior officials deny such a change is in the works, despite guidance shared with agents around the country in recent days. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/19/u...

Great Starter pack from dear Monica! I found multiple new friends to meet. Check it out! @softtail65.bsky.social ✅️👣⏺️♻️

More national attention for Colorado’s Gov race. The LA Times writes that GOP candidate Victor Marx is “what happens when a party stops seriously competing and instead indulges its fever dreams.” www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

We're at war with Iran 16 US troops dead 400 US troops injured 61,000 jobs lost in June Our allies hate us US cities still being invaded by ICE ICE assaulting & murdering citizens 39 deaths inside ICE detention centers Are we great yet? #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Trump administration charged over 550 people with assaulting/impeding federal agents. Of 400+ resolved cases, nearly half unraveled: acquittals, dismissals, or withdrawals. DOJ’s conviction rate fell from 90% to 50%. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/07/18/u...

When you get it...🤭😅🤣

Morning and happy Sunday!

Horrifying, Tragic, unnecessary. More American soldiers dead for no reason in Trump’s unnecessary pointless war.

Citizens Bank to cut ties with CoreCivic and GEO after a fierce public pressure campaign

Escorting the nine-year-old to a friend’s birthday pool party, I told him I wasn’t going to swim in part because I’m dressed for work. He told me I could just jump in like Mamdani did. This is what socialism does to our children.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES (🎶) DAY 18 JULY 2026 TRUMP DID THIS TWO GREAT AMERICAN SERVICE MEMBERS WERE KILLED due to Trump's War of Choice One more is missing Trump doesn't care This weekend is also to honor John Lewis & in his memory, Pledge to Fight ! Song from Bucky Goldstein (ty)⬇️⬇️

PURE EVIL Stephen Miller’s worldview in one video clip. "I think the ideal solution would be to cut off their fingers. I don't think it's necessary to kill them entirely. We're not a barbaric people. We respect life. Therefore, torture is the way to go. Because tortured people can live.”

This is great. 🤣🤣 #Blues

An absolute disgrace. thedailybeast.com/trump-goes-g...

Displayed at CPAC, the Third Term Project is a group pushing for an amendment allowing Trump to run for a third term. Andy Ogles’ (R-TN) proposal is to alter the 22nd Amendment to allow individuals to serve up to three nonconsecutive terms. Imagine the shape he’ll be in by 2028?

Protest tomorrow! #AbolishIce

A GEO employee shot a woman protesting yesterday evening here in Aurora at the ICE facility. Please help if you can. Spread the news. #AbolishIce www.gofundme.com/f/support-my...

Jon Ossoff: "Tonight the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise." #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.

5-year-old Camila's crayon drawings in detention look just like my 5-year-old's drawings. We need this to end, and then we need prosecutions for everybody who had a hand in harming these families. www.ctinsider.com/news/article...

The arguments we’re having today aren’t new. In fact, we were having many of the same ones more than 150 years ago during Reconstruction. I recently sat down with Malcolm Gladwell to reflect on this pivotal time in our nation’s history, and the work that remains. Check out our conversation:

ABOLISH ICE and hold these MF’s accountable for their crimes. It was never about immigration, it’s ALWAYS been about racism and oppression.

NEW: GOP Gov candidate Victor Marx is suggesting he’s endorsed by former Colorado Gov Bill Owens. Owens tells me that’s not true.

Be YOU!

Trump admits who his bill really helped…

This is Benji. He recently learned how to wiggle his toes. Not sure what to do with that yet, but a good skill to have in his back pocket just in case. 12/10 (TT: benjiandbaxter)

The lefty outlet Mother Jones has the latest national write up on the Colorado Gov race www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The man asking to be America's top intelligence officer can't solve a mystery which has 81 million witnesses.

Yet another national media article on the Colorado Gov’s race today. Can’t imagine these change votes in Colorado but they do make it uncomfy for the local media outlets that are ignoring or sanewashing some of Marx’s wilder claims.

Happy International Non-Binary People's Day! 💛🤍💜🖤 Today, we celebrate all the beautiful ways there are to be human and everyone who exists beyond the binary. Here's to living beyond the expectations of who the world says you should be. 🫶

A report on the ground from the ICE shooting in Biddeford that should make every parent in this country lose their minds:

One hour before Donald Trump announces the end of the world, please watch InfoWars at 8 p.m. ET. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sounds excessive but calling for the arrest of law-abiding citizens due to political differences is arguably grounds for impeachment.
