CNN: Breaking news… this is big, we have learned that the justice department's case against former FBI director Jim Comey and the New York attorney general have both been dismissed

I just feel it necessary to explain that if this one line were true, what he’s saying is American consumers are paying a tax out of their own pockets to keep the global economy from collapsing.

LISA McCLAIN: Voter turnout from Republicans was not high. But I think part of that reason is because Republicans for the most part are happy with what's happening TAPPER: Using that argument, your voters could be so happy that Democrats retake the House next year

This guy is so fuckin dumb.

One hour left, Virginia! The polls close at 7 PM, but if you’re in line at 7, you can still vote. Stay in line and make your voice heard.

And everyone who screamed about Hunter is silent. Endless corruption. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

GOP’s refusal to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is a continuation of Jan. 6 and GOP’s rejection of democracy. This is not just about blocking the release of the Jeffrey Epstein file. It's also about GOP becoming increasingly hostile to democracy deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/gops-refus...

On day 22 of the Trump Shutdown, Senate Republicans are holding show votes, the House GOP won’t show up for work and Trump wants to see shows in his new ballroom. In 10 days, more than 24 million working Americans will see their healthcare costs double and GOP leadership is living in la la land.

North Carolina is just the latest state to approve a new gerrymandered House map, backed by Trump, aimed at protecting the Republican majority. Prop 50 is California’s answer to level the playing field. #YESonProp50

WATCH - SIGNS SUPERCUT: Trump claims the signs and protests are funded by rich donors. Trump is lying. 👇🏽 Happy #NoKingsDay to all patriots who celebrate. 🇺🇸

Thank you @markwarner.bsky.social & @kaine.senate.gov!

Farmers, traders ‘flying blind’ as US shutdown blocks key crop data reut.rs/3VYW3xZ

We're running a piece on this today that I'll link to when it goes live. But it occurs to me that the GWB admin ran roughshod over the UN in the runup to the Iraq invasion, but learned to greatly appreciate its value when the subsequent occupation went south. I wonder if we won't see that here.

If we are going to have judges recuse themselves for the comments of their wives - imagine there will be number of cases involving Thomas and Alito if it pertains to Trump or right wing advocacy issues, in which they should have to do the same. No?

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

With the right folks in charge, it doesn't take long to get from a US economy that is "the envy of the world" to this: "The long-term unemployment number is a post-pandemic high and a level typically only seen during periods of economic turmoil..." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Both candidates for governor have legislative records. What do those tell us about whether they’d work with the opposite party if elected?

We just breeze right past the President of the US saying this shit now…

So. Much. Winning. Inflation ⬆️ Unemployment ⬆️ Growth⬇️ 💯 Wittman's fault Earle-Sears thinks it's not a "real issue." @bluevirginia.bsky.social @wittmanwatch.bsky.social @newkentvadems.bsky.social @wjccindivisible.bsky.social @hanovervadems.bsky.social @neighbors4change.bsky.social

Unemployment claims have hit the highest level since 2021. The President’s economic chaos and uncertainty are hurting American workers and families.

Grocery prices are surging again—up 3.3% this summer and 26% higher than five years ago. Beef, produce, and basics all cost more, and dining out is 28% pricier than in 2020. Families need real relief, not more tariffs. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/09/13/c...

Wow.

Numbers don’t lie! Americans are paying the price for this foolish tariff policy.

As facts emerge about the background and persuasions of Charlie Kirk’s killer, we should be reminded that responsible people wait for facts to emerge…not instantly attempt to incite violence against “the radical left.”

Look at US 😞

We’re on pace for “the third-largest budget deficit in U.S. history, trailing only the fiscal year 2020 and Fiscal year 2021 deficits incurred during the COVID-19 pandemic.” www.foxbusiness.com/politics/fed...

Breaking news: U.S. employers created 911,000 fewer jobs from April 2024 through March 2025 than initial reports showed. The revisions are the latest significant change to labor market data, which has faced heightened scrutiny under President Trump.

Terminating the contracts of over 400,000 VA workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, is union-busting. We stand with veterans. Join our federal worker unions tomorrow for a day of action to tell VA Secretary Collins to respect veterans and keep his promise to VA union workers!

Vladeck: There’s one video showing a DEA officer telling a D.C. resident he couldn’t drink alcohol on his porch—D.C. law says exactly the opposite. It also highlights how these officers aren’t even trained in the laws they’re purportedly enforcing.

SOON: @ezralevin.bsky.social will join @allinwithchris.bsky.social to discuss Saturday’s mobilizations in support of Texas Democrats and Trump’s effort to rig congressional maps before the midterms. Tune into @msnbc.com.

Let’s not forget Donald Trump’s “Justice” department is giving special favors to a convicted sex trafficker who participated in the sexual abuse of children. The lack of outcry by Republicans after Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a low-security prison tells us they stand by Trump’s moral depravity.

Voting has started in the CD 11 special election!

@fairfaxcitydem.bsky.social @huntermilldems.bsky.social @braddockdems.bsky.social @springfielddems.bsky.social @latinocaucus.bsky.social Call Governor Youngkin to voice your opposition to Trump's DOJ's four investigations into George Mason University.

Judicial appointments matter.

Two federal court rulings on Wednesday allowed Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man unlawfully deported to El Salvador, to be released from pre-trial detention in Tennessee without the risk of immediate removal from the U.S. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/23/r...

After it was reported that Trump called Charlie Kirk to ask him to tone down his criticism of the Epstein files he now says this. (Via @mmfa.bsky.social)

Republican Senator Thom Tillis: What do I tell 663,000 people and two years or three years when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid. Trump's advisers in the White House are not telling him that the effect of this bill is to break a promise.

Lesson 13 of "On Tyranny": Practice corporeal politics. Find your No Kings protest, June 14th.

Another attack on higher education and low-income families: Trump aims to slash Pell Grants, which may limit low-income students’ college access. Some students will be forced to drop out, closing yet another avenue to escape the cycle of poverty. www.cnbc.com/2025/06/08/w...

We don’t need to guess what tariffs will do. We've seen this movie. Bush tried steel tariffs in 2002. Trump did it again in 2018. Both times, same plot: a handful of steel jobs saved, tens of thousands of downstream jobs destroyed.

If you don’t know what Palantir is, or the people behind it, investigate. Or listen to @hcrichardson.bsky.social Heather Cox Richardson’s interview with Gil Duran on her YT channel. He goes through everything and connects the dots really well.
