So true. This is crazy.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

This puts the security debate in better perspective. I know this space really well. The guy wasn’t anywhere near the ballroom. He was basically trying to rush the security perimeter and failed. It’s a big complex with lots of different event happening at the same time.

The Trump regime doesn’t like the Southern Poverty Law Center labeling hate groups as hate groups, so it’s weaponizing the Justice Department to try to destroy the SPLC. This is DOJ taking the side of the Klan.

Apple will never get a better ad than this.

that beep beep beep sound you hear is the president and his family backing a truck up to the US treasury... www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Obviously Eric Swalwell doesn’t belong in Congress. But his resignation is a gift to the other members who should also be facing expulsion. Congress will face less pressure to stop stonewalling and kick them out.

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

Very strong piece by Malcolm Gay on the surprising decision to replace Andris Nelsons at the BSO.

In honor of DHS spokesliar Tricia McLaughlin's resignation, let's revisit how her husband's company won a $220 million no-bid contract to run a stupid propaganda campaign featuring her boss, Kristi Noem, bashing immigrants while sitting on a horse in front of Mt. Rushmore.

Trump posting a meme depicting Black people as apes was totally about economic anxiety, y’all.

Losing CBS News and the Washington Post (as we’ve known it) at the same time really sucks.

Thank you Thank you

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

Rep. Seth Moulton comes on CNN and starts by saying: "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading / occupying / running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

I need the breakdown of how many of these ambassadors are Black.

Breaking News: Miami voters elected Eileen Higgins as mayor, choosing a Democrat to lead the city for the first time in almost 30 years.

He’s not content with killing immigration. He doesn’t want visitors either.

Just an absolutely gutting essay by Tatiana Schlossberg, a writer, mother of two young children, and cousin of RFK Jr who is dying of leukemia. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

"She’s not trying to rebuild her reputation as a journalist—she’s building a different kind of brand entirely, one where being interesting matters more than being ethical, where attention is the only currency that still spends." The best thing I have read about her. www.mediaite.com/opinion/the-...

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi. But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile. Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open. Cretin behavior.

On this day 225 years ago, John Adams moved into the still-not-quite-complete White House, becoming the first president to occupy it. His blessing was carved into the State Dining Room mantel in 1945: "May none but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under This Roof.”

Yes, that was probably the best game I’ve ever seen. Wowwowwow.

Think I just decided 3 am is my personal curfew.

I desperately need someone to win this game so I can go to bed.

LSU is paying Brian Kelly $54 million not to coach football. And hardly anyone cares.

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

LE BATARD, on Kimmel: “.. you can’t look at what’s happening here and NOT say that this is a kind of threat that you have not seen before in the United States ..”

What Yvonne said!

I wrote about the groypers and the Fuentes-Kirk fight years ago, in Hate in the Homeland. Cautioning here that there is still a lot to know about the shooter’s motivation, I’m sharing these two paragraphs here to set the history of this fight in context:

Ain't that America?

I’m surprised - to put it mildly - that Tania Fernandez Anderson would endorse a D7 candidate, given how she left the office.

UPDATE: Governor Cook has issued a statement. “President Trump purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.”

Still waiting for someone of prominence to admit it was not about eggs.

You gotta hand it to Eric Adams. 90% of politicians are corrupt but he’s the only one also dumb enough to have staff write “CRIMEZ” on an envelope and hand it to a reporter.

Sixty years ago today LBJ signed the Voting Rights Act into law, and among those to whom he handed a signing pen was 25-year-old Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee chair John Lewis, just a few months after Bloody Sunday in Selma.

😡😡😡

I grew up on Cronkite. This is disgusting and so sad.

The CNN doc on Live Aid is excellent, at least so far. Such a different time.

Breaking news: Federal immigration officers may deport immigrants with as little as six hours’ notice to countries other than their own, even without assurances that the arrivals will be safe from persecution or torture, a top official said.

As the US Army celebrates it 250th birthday, Trump is celebrating the enemy that tried to defeat it.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

that’s right
