The uniformity with which structural factors are driving these results is pretty striking. One campaign raised $9m!

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance. So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people. Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it. Postb it, blow it up and get it out there! #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

The symbolism.

I sincerely hope he does

One has never seen speech so free. The freest speech

So classified documents going back into the Mar a Lago toilet?

worth saying again that this was a bait and switch. if trump had openly announced he was running on allowing companies to discriminate against women and minorities he would not have won wapo.st/43aVQg1

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Dear President Zelensky, As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here. I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-preside...

Ex-Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton is calling for Secretary of State Marco Rubio and current National Security Adviser Mike Waltz to resign over the Ukraine debacle.

“Dismantling global disease prevention infrastructure [destroys] institutional knowledge, relationships, and capacity that took years to build. And Musk shows no signs of learning this lesson at all.

Trump White House staffers were seen loading around 15 boxes of documents onto the rear of Air Force One.   Team Trump says the boxes contain the classified documents the FBI seized  from Trump's Florida home in 2022.

Threads vs. Bluesky. Spot the difference.

Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening. An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply: “The same will happen here”.

10 days ago Trump fired hundreds of FAA employees, weakening the systems air traffic controllers rely on. Maybe instead of handing Elon a $2 billion FAA contract, we should use that money to actually hire and retain the workers who keep our skies safe. Just a thought.

"A full-on embrace wouldn’t have been right; it would have been too much, too cloying, dishonest to Royal and Chas alike. That just wasn’t who Royal was. And Hackman knew that. Because he was The Man."

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

The Barstool conservatives are getting restless.

I am really excited about today's 'On Democracy | Sunday' LIVE this morning LIVE! We have an incredible line up with Rep. Marcy Kaptur, Joe Jacobson, and a unique take on things with comedians Lisandra Vazquez and David Gborie. Don't miss it at 11am ET/8am PT! www.youtube.com/live/dNP0ixh...

Call it what it is: a plan to re-segregate the federal workforce. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

It’s not the same gulf though - this gulf is American - the previous one used to be the much milder Mexican version.

This letter, from now-resigned prosecutor Danielle Sassoon to Pam Bondi, is worth reading in full. Simply put, there is no non-corrupt reason for dismissing Eric Adams’ case. The Trump DOJ is itself obstructing both justice and the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

BREAKING: This is the lieutenant governor of New York calling for Mayor Eric Adams to resign. This is a bfd #ByeFelicia

This is a bad bad take. Yes, praise people for doing the ethical thing. Rewarding virtue is pretty much the only sure way to get more of it

Two more points, which are obvious to the people reporting on this. 1) A shit-ton of people in Public Integrity were in early purge bc they were on Trump case. So ~4 of their colleagues joined them today. 2) Both Acting Director & Deputy Director of FBI are from NY and NJ--so some ties to SDNY.

Per a source with knowledge, the US Forest Service is firing all probationary employees.

A friend shared this about the need to lean into joy in this dark time, which might sound counterintuitive and absurd but I keep thinking about it and now I'm sharing it here so I guess it resonates.

Absolutely amazing—and embarrassing. - Grossly unprepared - Absolutely no grasp on geopolitical and military policy - Proving a Fox News guy as SecDef is a really bad idea (He’s nothing without an ear piece or teleprompter feeding him lines.)

Just to underscore the tension at DOJ at the moment, here's what one federal law enforcement official told me about the acting deputy attorney general: "I, along with other career FBI and DOJ personnel that I’ve spoken with, really have one message for him and that is, “go fuck yourself, traitor.'"

This entire thing is almost comically corrupt

Extraordinary: Read Danielle Sassoon’s Letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Annotated - The New York Times www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is a flamethrower that also effectively torpedoes any possibility that the SDNY will dismiss the case against Adams without scrutiny and ensures any prosecutor filing the dismissal motion would do so at risk of bar discipline. Holy shit

This is much better than Thursday Night Massacre, going with this.

if you need me I'll be shouting this from the nearest rooftop

Professor who teaches African American studies here. If your school eliminates or bans it, I will personally host free zoom sessions, provide resources, or answer questions for students, parents/guardians, or teachers who are interested in learning or discussing African American studies.

Yep! Call Governor Hochul and tell her to fire Adams NOW. 1-518-474-8390

This also includes *veterans*, including, I am told, at least some fully qualified wildland firefighters with actual fire experience. Per a source with knowledge: “I want everyone to know that they are firing veterans, fully qualified and trying to serve their country again in civil service.”
