Rand Paul on Trump's strikes on boats: "I would call them extrajudicial killings. This is akin to what China does, what Iran does with drug dealers -- they summarily execute people without presenting evidence to the public. So it's wrong."

After Anthony Boyd had struggled for air inside the gas mask for many minutes, his brother broke the silence in the witness room. "It's like he's gasping for air," he said. My full eyewitness account: www.treadbylee.com/p/after-just...

Let me be clear on my position: If ChatGPT Atlas was the only browser left, I would no longer use the web.

Both the U.S. marshal and the immigrant were shot by federal officers. You’d never know that from this headline.

Interesting that he wants 230 million which is roughly the same amount as his ballroom. Mark my words, he will claim he’s donating it to the ballroom, those who were awarded no-bid contracts to build the ballroom will purchase $Trump or other crypto, and there you have the grift of US taxpayer $.

What a time to read this heartbreaking and uplifting book by @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social USAID is basically no more. Global health is in a scary place. But we can use what we know to build a better system and a more just world. I'm choosing hope today.

To quote @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.” @nymag.com nymag.com/intelligence...

When I was treating patients in primary care in 2020 and 2021, I would remind them that SARS was 2003, and new studies on its effects were being published 17 years on. Fact is, we really do not know the long-term (in decades) effects of COVID infection. Though I'm confident it's bad news.

It’s been 27 days since adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election and she still hasn’t been sworn in. Do your job, Speaker Johnson.

Poor Donnie! nokings.org

We’ve got generations out in the streets — toddlers, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents. 90 year olds who saw fascism rise — & helped the world defeat it. And toddlers who may not speak much yet but still know this truth: In America, we don’t have kings 🚫👑 #NoKings #DemocracyRocks 🇺🇸

French cohort study of more than half a million infants finds rate of major congenital malformations was 176.6 per 10k infants exposed to first-trimester COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, compared with 179.4 per 10k infants NOT exposed to the vaccines. 🛟 😷🧪 Medsky

This seems...bad

In Chicago, Defense Secretary Pere Hegseth screened the arriving 400 Texas National Guard troopers for "fatties" and "beardos". To the three women who remained the Secretary proposed marriage.

I used to think this was tin foil hat stuff from the left, but then I lived in New Orleans for 16 years and learned how many "legal" ways there are to steal people's homes from them.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

For a century, oil defined power and trade — now lithium is quietly taking over that role. Every solar panel, EV, and battery shipped is another nail in oil’s coffin. The world’s energy wealth is shifting from barrels to atoms of lithium — silent, clean, unstoppable, and powering a new era. #Lithium

True true true! I was a voracious reader when I had time to be. Now as a parent with a full time job I only have time/bandwidth for audiobooks on my drives. I would love to read more but our society is not structured in a way that allows.

You need to fix this @cnn.com.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

We keep each other safe ❤️

Feeling discouraged or hopeless about the state of things? This message from @focusedoninfinity.bsky.social is one of the most true and heartening things I’ve heard in a long time. ❤️

Every day I log on and just see endless videos of ICE agents breaking state, federal, and international laws.

So let me get this straight. #MosesMike who is all over grinder, is closing the House another week so that the new rep from AZ can't be sworn in because that's how bad the Epstein files are ..... It's still really all about Epstein.

It's impressive how quickly grid storage is moving. 🔋☀️ Last Tuesday, batteries supplied over 20% of California’s total demand for 4 straight hours (6–10 PM) — soaking up solar by day and powering homes by night. The duck curve is flattening. Price signals are working. ⚡🇺🇸 #BESS #EnergyTransition

BREAKING: A federal judge finds that there is evidence Kilmar Abrego was VINDICTIVELY PROSECUTED. The judge GRANTS Abrego's motion for discovery and a hearing, and the government must now PROVE it did not vindictively prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

Breaking on MSNBC: An FBI agent in the Washington field office has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey. This news was first reported by Reuters.

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Sanders: These projects have been appropriated. They were signed by a president. It is illegal to rescind them. And to say to people in Vermont, in New York and California, oh, you didn't vote for Donald Trump, we're going to take away funding that was supposed to go to your state… illegal

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

This reminds me that the first person I met who insisted I stop calling US citizens "Americans" was our Argentine exchange student, because America includes 2 continents

when they said there'd be bread and circuses, they should have specified that the bread would cost 200% more than it did four years ago and the circuses are only available on your least favourite streaming network for $19.99/month

Meiselas: Ask yourself: Why did Trump not allow the press to be there in the White House during his meeting w Dem leaders? Why, if he claims he brought in $17 trillion, are we even facing a crisis at all about the shutdown? Why did MAGA Mike Johnson and Republicans cancel work Monday and Tuesday?

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Trump leaked this story because he wants to you hear it. Let’s be clear :: Trump wants you to blame a shutdown for shit he is planning to do anyhow. If dems cave and fund him, he will STILL wield executive power and slash government programs. He HAS BEEN doing that with the government open.

Similarly if you point out that thousands of bright blue spots exist in the reddest counties in, say, Ohio.

In private, the leaders of some of the country's best-known companies say that a number of White House policies have been bad for their businesses, and possibly illegal, per the results of a survey from Yale School of Management, shared with Axios. www.axios.com/2025/09/22/t...

@cmalexaaviles.bsky.social handed out these awesome little stickers with QR codes for what to do if ICE comes. Here's the website it points to: www.immi.org/en/Home/make...
