One of the Great Blue Heron nests has four nestlings. These are very busy Great Blue Heron parents to be raising so many young ones, most nests have two or three.

In 1933 Adolf Hitler shook down German industrialists for millions of Reichsmark to establish what he called the Adolf-Hitler-Spende der deutschen Wirtschaft—a slush fund he used to pay off Nazis whose violence got them into legal trouble. In 2026, Donald Trump is quietly doing the same thing.

Today, I questioned the DHS Secretary about Delaney Hall. He dodged, deflected, and refused to answer for the suffering inside. Delaney Hall should be shut down, and we must keep exposing the abuses happening there.

The real Peggy Flanagan - no deepfakes necessary.

My commitment to you - Minnesota - is that I’m seeking the DFL endorsement in a serious way. That means no courting of Republicans and no turning the other cheek when they cross the values of the working Minnesotans.

Columbia Heights just canceled their flock contract! I'm very proud and happy.

If you can clock one single sigh of relief about this across 32 national capitals I’ll be surprised

This evening, I voted to stop President Trump’s unconstitutional Iran War for the fourth time. Democrats were finally joined by enough Republicans to assert Congress’s constitutional War Powers authority and direct President Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from direct conflict with Iran.

The Ellisons take charge at CBS and promptly commission Bari Weiss to give it the Gaza apartment block treatment. www.ft.com/content/4a40...

We're building a movement that demands more from our leaders:

Rubio: I have never seen Trump fall asleep. Lieu: I’m going to show you a video that shows you just lied to congress. Here is a video of him asleep while you are talking.

When I was on my way to a job interview in Arlington in July of 2023, I picked up a copy of The Economist that had a cover story about Trumps plans for a second term, which basically enumerated the main points of Project 2025. And no media picked up on it for a year www.economist.com/weeklyeditio...

Albanians are back on the streets for a third day — protesting a luxury resort linked to Jared Kushner. Demonstrators are calling for the project to be cancelled, citing its threat to the Vjosa-Narta Protected Landscape, a key habitat for migratory birds.

Adam Hamawy is a seasoned veteran combat medic who literally saved the life of a sitting senator of the United States; volunteered to treat Bosnians and Palestinians during their genocides, helped 9/11 victims on 9/11, and this is how the NYT decides to describe him after he wins a seat to Congress.

"Mr. Pelley also wrote that senior managers at CBS News had pressured him to insert bias into stories for “60 Minutes” this past season, though he did not provide details about specific segments." Pretty important part of the story re his firing. Maybe *the* most important part. CBS = new Fox.

Scott Pelley has provided @status.news a statement blasting current CBS News management and even accusing them of having tried (and failed) to "inject falsehoods and bias" into his stories. www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

Scott Pelley was fired for speaking obvious truths about the present and future of CBS that far too many in his industry are unwilling to voice themselves. Simple as that.

Dr. Adam Hamawy, who just won the crowded NJ 12 primary, joined me yesterday to discuss how the anti-Muslim attacks and smears against him wouldn't stop his progressive campaign and victory. He was right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eHj...

Scott Pelley took a stand. We need more Scott Pelleys

Scott Pelley is doing what all journalists should be doing. Holding on to his values.

Today, Trump appointed Bill Pulte as Director of National Intelligence. I’ve spent nearly a year investigating the Epstein files. When I saw the announcement, I went back into my records and searched one word: Pulte. 🔥🧵

The Trump administration wants you to believe ICE detention is about "public safety" but AP’s investigation found more than 300 documented cases of medical neglect in ICE detention facilities—and reporters say that's likely only a fraction of the real number.

Today I wrote about the bravery of Scott Pelley and why independent media is essential in this moment. Please consider subscribing to Democracy Docket for free or becoming a premium member if you can. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

BREAKING: Don't fall for what Blanche is suggesting - DOJ is NOT getting rid of the whole bogus slush fund deal; it's still giving Trump $1,776 billion AND still giving him (and family) a broad civil release of liability; all it is NOT doing is using the $1,776 to create a fund for J6ers and others.

🚨 “TEAR GAS IS NOT JUST GAS... IT IS A CHEMICAL WEAPON.” 🚨 Outside Delaney Hall on Day 12, attorney Steven Donziger asks why tear gas — banned for use in warfare under international law — is being used by NJ State Police and ICE against peaceful protesters in Newark. “Where is the outrage?”

Foghorn Leghorn

NEW: Rep. Jamie Raskin is calling on Todd Blanche to resign. "[W]e must demand that Todd Blanche resign. An Attorney General who has disgraced himself by settling a bogus lawsuit with a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded bonanza payout to convicted cop beaters."

Who among us does not get easily bored trying to end wars we started and then immediately lost on the first weekend?

Some of those who work forces Are the same who burn crosses

If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.   We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.

They are creeps.

GOP people are the worst.

Delaney Hall's conditions would be illegal in any American prison yet ICE operates above the law. They serve people food infested with maggots, deny them access to medical care & legal council & the guards routinely beat the shit out of them despite not having committed a crime. #ShutDownDelaneyHall

These people are disgusting.

For anyone counting: 1,055 Project 2025 recommendations have been implemented out of 1,913.

The lesson Israel has learned, time and again, is that it can commit genocide and other atrocities with near-total impunity. Now it's exporting the Gaza playbook to Lebanon. Israel's war in Lebanon is killing thousands and displacing millions. NO MORE U.S. AID TO ISRAEL.

NY-10 voters want leaders who fight billionaires and deliver for working families. Leaders willing to put their bodies on the line to protect our immigrant neighbors. We don’t need more corporate Democrats like Dan Goldman who take money from Wall Street, crypto & AIPAC.

I’m proud to be endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani and I look forward to being a partner for him in Congress. Meanwhile, my opponent couldn’t bring himself to endorse Zohran as the Democratic nominee in the general election, even when the alternative was serial sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo.

Crypto Wall Street AIPAC Trump donors Those are just *some* of the people my opponent takes money from. How can we trust him to stand up to special interests when they’re cutting him checks? #NY10Debate

NEW Trump announces Ambassador to Türkiye is billionaire Tom Barrack (yes, the same Tom Barrack from the Epstein files) 🧵

🚨 Heartbreaking. Detainees at Delaney Hall are being forced to eat worm-infested food, denied doctors, and separated from their families. Even US citizens are trapped inside. This must end. No more torture centers on American soil. #ShutDownDelaneyHall

BREAKING: The Trapp Family has withdrawn from Donald Trump's Freedom 250 concert, citing previous unpleasant experiences with fascists.

BREAKING: WASHINGTON (AP) - Divided appeals court panel rules Trump administration policy illegally banned transgender troops from military service.

Happy Pride, Y’all. The DC Circuit has just enjoined Pete Hegseth from enforcing his anti-trans policy. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
