Hmmmm...

Pinch hitter Bo Bichette steps in and dings a 3-run blast on the first pitch. Nice!

Let's get gritty.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

Hey MSM, It would be really swell if you would question what happened to all the artifacts and furnishings that were housed in the East Wing. I’ll help: Were items destroyed? Was anything sold or gifted to anyone? If items were saved, where are they being stored? See how easy it is? Your turn.

What can you say?

We’re putting food on the table in Argentina ($40 billion), yet MAGA Republicans are threatening to withhold SNAP funds already allocated by Congress. MAGA = Make Argentina Great Again.

This is who is paying for the destruction of the White House East Wing, per @wsj.com Altria Group Inc. Amazon Apple Inc. Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. Caterpillar Inc. Coinbase Global Comcast Corp. Hard Rock International Google HP Inc. Lockheed Martin Corp. Meta Platforms Inc. 1/3

I'm going to distill 20+ years of professional experience into about 90 minutes. It's a firehose, but don't worry, the link-rich slide deck will be shared, AND we have two open office hours sessions afterwards for your followup questions.

When they're openly shredding the constitution, you know you've landed at full fascism.

But sure..it's the radical left... #UniteNotDivide

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Pro tip to Laura Loomer who deleted this: The Internet is written in indelible ink.

Bomb threats against the Maryland General Assembly. Bomb threats against the Michigan lieutenant governor and his family. Bomb threats against 5 HBCUs. Two arrests for violent assaults in Idaho. In 24 hours. All Democratic or left-leaning victims. All suspected MAGA perpetrators.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…

There's a quiet energy transformation underway - it no longer makes ANY sense to build fossil-fueled generation, when solar+batteries is faster and cheaper. Happy to be playing a small role in accelerating this at @cleanchoiceenergy.bsky.social

NYs Wafler Farms workers voted for the UFW in 2022 but still don't have a contract. In Feb, an arbitrator ruled for a 2-yr contract. Wafler won't implement it so we're going to court again. Workers will deliver a petition to tell Wafler they won't give up. act.seiu.org/a/waflerpeti...

Netroots is on fire this year, btw.

#NN25 starts w/check in But you've got enough going on w/out playing "Where's Netroots" in a venue that :checks notes: covers ~11 blocks w/+3M sq. ft. of space. 🧡 Crescent City, but no one wants to walk along a 1K long building *in August* looking for the right door. So 👀 here for more directions

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated

It's almost a certainty that Donald is in at least a few of those videos.

In today’s Rooster dispatch, I walked through the establishment’s case against Jesse Vogel, an affable immigration attorney, and what that criticism is *actually* about. www.rooster.info/p/the-inside...

Reminder: we don't need Ghislaine Maxwell to get to the truth. It's sitting in files inside the DOJ that they could release TODAY. She is a liar, a child rapist, and a sex trafficker. Blanche is meeting with her to buy her silence, nothing more.

The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

See you there?

The amazing thing about brave people speaking out is that it inspires others to do the same by creating a permission structure. Since I published this article 4 hours ago, I've heard from multiple sources confirming what's in it. www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT, JD?

Almost no one realizes the scope and speed of this energy transition.

27 different named women accused him of sex assault, he’s on video with Epstein where they are grossly leering at young women, Miss Teen USA contestants said he came in dressing room when they were naked, he bragged on the Access Hollywood tape about grabbing women. It’s obvious.

“.. filings by four big banks flagged more than $1.5 billion in transactions — including thousands of wire transfers for the purchase and sale of artwork for rich friends, fees paid to Mr. Epstein by wealthy individuals, and payments to numerous women, @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/b...

The neighborhood watch volunteers that are identifying and pursuing ICE raids are quite inspiring. Our friends at @capitalandmain.bsky.social have this story on ICE watch patrols in LA. prospect.org/politics/202...

They fired the people answering calls for help. Hundreds of them. During the crisis.

This will be my 19th overall ... maybe 7th or 8th (?) as Volunteer Coordinator, Email Strategy Trainer, and Chief Zymurgist. I hope you can join us!!

Gonna force everyone I know to read this article by @billmckibben.bsky.social in this week's New Yorker: www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

This is spot on.

A new cost estimate of the Republican budget bill from the Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that the legislation will increase deficits over the next 10 years by $4.45 trillion dollars.

This is criminal, and it will kill people for literally no reason.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

you should read this thread.

NEW: FUN is hosting an emergency organizing call this SUNDAY, to coordinate a response to the biggest attack on union rights in a generation.

I'll be working at the volunteer desk, right next to Carolyn. (And she's one of my favorite people to work with.) The times we're living in are grave, but a lot of the best people you'll ever meet are fighting back, and we get together every summer. Hope you can join us.
