BREAKING: Molly Crane Newman reports that Judge Kaplan has ORDERED the release of the $5m plus interest to E Jean Carroll.

Same.

Thousands of Trump supporters on the National Mall ordered to evacuate from the thunderstorm have sought shelter inside the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Y'all...

Supertramp is a band that often gets shit on, and that’s a real shame. Their imperial era (1974-79) was spectacular. They’re the only band I know that sounds like equal parts Beatles/prog rock/Randy Newman

Hey, look, Messi is great and clearly the greatest of all-time at soccer, but Serena won a grand slam while she was pregnant.

Dolly Parton’s message thanking Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for their $2 million donation to her Imagination Library! “I'm blown away and overjoyed with that gratitude. Now, it's evident that you two have made giving back a key part of your lives.”

This is terrible.

Music is not a luxury here. It is proof that we are still alive. Two young women. Two banduras. One bench in a Ukrainian city. They played. People stopped. No one said a word. hfu.org

It’s funny how all the criticisms of Democratic socialism end up sounding like endorsements

It might be hot outside but the rent is freezing.

Here I am on the corner supporting the woman rally in Tehachapi 6=24-26. I am on the corner of the famers market every Thursday and I attend all the rallies I can. I just don't have the resources to travel far. However making a statement here in a small red town is at least something.

Tonight is Jimmy Kimmel’s last show before his annual summer vacation. He just announced that he’s invited Rosie O’Donnell to be one of the guest hosts on his show this summer, as a special treat for the Marmalade Menace. 😄🤣😆🤪😈

This entire Iran disaster has made it never clearer that it’s much easier for legacy political media to pretend Trump is playing some wacky version of 4D chess because they’re too scared to point out the obvious: that all he’s ever done is shit on a checkers board and threaten those who call it out.

Rep. Tom Kean hasn’t cast a vote since March 5, 2026, and no one can tell us where he’s been. I’m beginning to think he died and the GOP is hiding it to hold on to their razor thin majority in the House.

This mayor did the right thing. I wish we’d see more of it.

Watching people cheer for Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire is like watching passengers on the Titanic cheer for the iceberg.

Cost to end homelessness in America: $30b a year. Cost of universal pre-K for every four year old in America: $70b a year. Cost of free college for every college aged kid in America: $58 billion a year. But instead, a racist asshole is going to use his $1 TRILLION to incite violence worldwide.

I think y'all are wasting your time trying to explain the vote counting process to Spencer Pratt fanboys. They don't care how the votes are counted. They don't really think the election was stolen. They're whiny ass sore losers who didn't get their way. You should tell them that.

I've taken hundreds of photos of this barn, Every day, every season, it catches my eye. Yesterday, right after the storm, everything clicked for me. #photography

JUST IN: Progressive Nithya Raman will advance to the general election and face incumbent Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayoral race, according to Decision Desk HQ projections. It’s over for former reality TV villain Spencer Pratt.

I went to Delaney Hall to follow up on conversations I had this morning with family members of detainees. ICE and GEO Group did not let me speak with detainees. Why do they insist on hiding the truth even after getting almost $1 billion of tax dollars?

ABC and CBS paid Trump. NBC gave to his ballroom. Scott Pelley took a stand and was fired. CNN is next. When Trump sued me, I fought and won. It is that spirit I brought to Democracy Docket. Fearlessly independent, always pro-democracy. Help it grow by subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Continue to be amazed by people dropping into my mentions saying things like "Americans are so passive to this" when people are literally being beaten, tased, gassed and kidnapped for protesting. Please pay attention. 80% of our country hates him. Millions are in the streets.

Dear fellow Democrats: Stop worrying about everything that could go wrong. Stop wringing your hands over worst case scenarios. This doesn't make you look thoughtful. It makes you look weak. It makes you look small. Have some goddamn pride. Have the kind of confidence undecided voters want to see.

Last night, this colleague who has been at Delaney pretty much non-stop and has been gassed, spoke in Roxbury NJ to try to stop a new detention center. Please watch this. She is just a mom. You can make a difference, and it is time to step up.

The silver lining to this shit is that grifting $1.7 billion of American taxpayer dollars while people are choosing between gas and groceries and can't afford healthcare is the clearest indication of "let them eat cake" that we've seen since French pesants started the Reign of Terror.

He is so good at this. This whole thread is genius.

Hochul: "I’m working with the Legislature to change New York’s redistricting process so we can fight back against Washington’s attempts to rig our democracy." This is the way

Absolutely! Two can play at this game.

I’ve had a week where truly I have debated abandoning all social media dozens of times. So much abuse, so many abhorrent comments that I literally woke up in the middle of the night last night and thought “I am removing myself because I don’t want to be treated like this anymore.” Then came this.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.

Most of us who live in it feel the same way!

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

May Victor Orbán simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.

Gramercy Park & the Chrysler Building NYC

I don’t think a lot folks understand how massive Péter Magyar’s election was today in Hungary over Viktor Orbán. It was a massive 33% swing in votes. That’s insane. That would be like a Democratic supermajority being created in Congress overnight. Holy shit.

ARTEMIS II MISSION REQUIREMENT: 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Sending love to the people of Hungary as they vote today to oust that asshole Orban.

AOC: “I will not support Congress sending more taxpayer💰 and military aid to a government that consistently ignores international & 🇺🇸 law.”

Just have a fake ceremony and give him a fake King of the Straight of Hormuz trophy or some shit and let's call it.
