2nd year in a row CNBC ranked Tennessee last in quality of life under @GovBillLee and the Republican supermajority: “factors such as crime rates, air quality, health care, availability of childcare, inclusiveness of state laws & reproductive rights…” www.cnbc.com/2026/07/11/w...

“President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order to shrink the boundaries of the Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments as soon as Monday, three local sources with knowledge of the plans told ABC4.” www.abc4.com/news/politic...

I like how all of these guys go for the identical Rogan knockoff aesthetic of putting up neon signs and having exposed brick in their faux man cave. It could make a case study for how one generation's hipster look becomes the next generation's stale copy-paste conservatism.

There's an obvious opportunity for congressional Democrats to benghazi this tragedy. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

It will be utter malpractice if they don't.

Israel is a stain on the world, and it’s shocking that we’ve let this happen., those people are truly vile and evil.

Israel’s military has attacked several areas across Gaza, with Palestinians filming flames and smoke rising over Gaza City. A nine-year-old girl was also killed by Israeli gunfire in central Gaza.

The ceasefire:

Donald Trump’s corruption is allowing him to do what he never achieved in business — finally making a profit. What hasn’t changed? You’re still being cheated by him.

Ukraine has struck 90 Russian vessels in six days, and Russia has reportedly suspended all shipping through the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait in response.

OMG!! How stupid do they think we are. He hasn’t looked that good for 15 years.

Trump and his Republican cronies want to reverse victories we've spent the last century fighting for. We won’t let them.

An open door is not consent. PAXIS.app confirms: An administrative warrant is just ICE paperwork, not a judge-signed warrant, and it does not give ICE permission to enter your home. Say clearly: “I do not consent to entry. I do not consent to a search.” FIGHT ICE: GoFundMe.com/PAXIS

Lindsey Graham’s acrobatic flip-flop on the Trump-Russia scandal has not gotten enough attention

Gasoline in occupied Crimea has reached 450 rubles per liter. That is about 6 to 7 times the typical Russian retail price, 5 to 6 times the US price, and around 3 times the EU average. #Ukraine

Waiting for this dawn to arrive? Who else is? #Blues

The thing about being ruled by a gerontocracy is that cohort mortality is a probability density, meaning all these fuckers start dying around the same time -- in clusters. The same Weibull Distribution "bathtub curve" explains why batches of light bulbs and hard drives all die in the same month.

Lindsey Graham passese away suddenly. Mitch McConnell hospitalized or could be dead. We're so close to a trifecta, I can taste it.

When the President of the United States speaks like this without consequences, you cannot possibly expect or demand any different from random social media users

The man who said this died a long time ago.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

The latest eruption of hostilities and Iran’s clear intention to control the Strait suggests not only that Trump has no idea what he’s doing, but that he’s losing worse by the day. Which means the U.S. is losing worse. Total disaster. And all brought on entirely by Trump’s arrogance and idiocy.

Israel has repeatedly targeted doctors, nurses and healthcare workers as part of their ongoing genocide in Gaza. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya has been held without charge for the past 18 months, repeatedly tortured in that time. Israel must release him NOW.

Absolutely vile. The continued use of our tax dollars to terrorize Palestinians and US citizens is inhumane and unacceptable. Grateful for Ro’s courage to show the world what is happening on the ground and for exposing the continued atrocities happening in the West Bank.

This is more of an investigation than our government will do. It shows someone trying to evade ICE, and pretty much rules out the story that the van drove toward ICE agents. Of course, the ICE claims could be easily verified if its agents wore their bodycams. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/u...

What Trump has done to our Canadian friends & neighbors regarding the Gordie Howe bridge is f’n shameful mob boss BS. They paid over 6 billion to build it, we had agreed all along w/plan & then he demanded 50% of the tolls & co-ownership to allow it to open. Boycott US goods CA.

How DARE they speak the truth.

Boy subpoenaed for saying the Emperor has no clothes on.

Everything he touches turns to s*t.

Thank the gods for @marcelias.bsky.social

Iran hit a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz with a missile, causing heavy damage. They’ve announced the Strait is closed - again. The US is currently bombing Iran in response.

"“I saw the arrogance in the eyes of those settlers, 21- and 22-year-olds with guns, laughing that they had detained us." US dollars should not be going to this. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Breaking: DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran says Strait of Hormuz is closed, claims it struck vessel using 'unauthorized route.'

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES Department of Justice lawsuit to obtain an unredacted copy of New York's statewide voter registration list. A big victory for Elias Law Group and our Client the NAACP. DOJ is now 0-12 in these cases. ELG is undefeated. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-yo...

So important.

We've reached the "find out" stage, folks.

The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.

Nearly 100 Epstein victims had their names exposed on Todd Blanche’s watch — & he withheld files the law required him to release Why? The bar complaint from 100+ judges suggests he was protecting Trump & himself My latest publisher’s note has the full story👇 -TN

WSJ: Investigators with the DHS have uncovered evidence that Corey Lewandowski may have improperly influenced the awarding of government contracts during his time at the agency. I enjoy watching Republicans throw each other under the bus.😊 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

If Mitch McConnell was alive and conscious, we would have visual proof.

The Department of Justice has subpoenaed New York Times journalists after they reported on security concerns involving the new, Qatari-gifted Air Force One, marking a dramatic escalation of President Donald Trump's campaign against the media. https://to.pbs.org/3SURLJO

Todd Blanche helped engineer a $1.8B taxpayer slush fund—payouts for Jan 6 rioters who attacked cops & a backdoor blanket pardon for Trump Now he wants to be AG 100+ former judges just filed a bar complaint & I lay it out in my new @contrariannews.org publisher’s note 👇 -TN

“I am no longer surprised when Donald Trump uses his platform to provoke attacks on Black, brown, or immigrant communities — but I am always disgusted,” said MN AG Keith Ellison. Messages supporting Mr. Trump’s postings — in overwhelmingly racist, Islamophobic and anti-Muslim terms — also grew.

Pretty much any clip of Trump can be described as Trump repeatedly lying.

A big thank you to Houston Mayor John Whitmire, who says his office “will not rest” until there is a thorough and independent investigation into the fatal shooting of 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado by ICE.

CDC stopped monitoring parasite now causing explosive diarrhea across the country

Interesting choice by NYT to publish an op-ed bemoaning America’s projected population decline by a guy who’s massively racist against immigrants and compares IVF to “Nazi eugenics.” The “pronatalists” only want more of a very specific kind of person in this country. It gives the game away.

“This brazen act should be seen as nothing more than an attempt to prevent the public from knowing what is happening in their country by intimidating journalists from doing their jobs.” {gift link} www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/b...

The Republican Party 4 months before midterms: "You're not getting affordable housing unless you give up your voting rights" Great message.

Kash Patel turned FBI work trips into taxpayer-funded vacations and Chuck Grassley is finally demanding receipts and explanations. Whistleblowers say Patel demands to be entertained wherever he goes, forcing FBI employees to jump through hoops to make sure he’s having a good time. 🧵
