This is illegal, you don't need to frame it as "critics" saying it, and you certainly should not be framing it as "critics question whether" it's legal. Critics say it's illegal.

Black women were the group of voters who most strongly rejected Trump in the 2024 election; they’re also the voters who have most consistently done the work of expanding and protecting democracy. 19thnews.org/2026/07/blac... via @19thnews.org

America needs to explain to Canada why WE are the problem when they are electing Nazis who defy all the laws. Canada is well aware that 80M americans are thrilled with their #NaziKing but maybe give your head a shake. Look at this bullshit. youtu.be/eVr1_e8nJ5o?...

Much like congestion pricing, trash containerization is going to be controversial until NYC actually does it. 6 months in, the fact that the city tolerated a massive disgusting rat infestation for decades so that a few hundred people could park their cars for free will seem crazy in hindsight.

The networks should not carry Trump’s speech Thursday night. Allowing Trump to platform his election lies would be a betrayal. open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

BREAKING: A record 104 Members of Congress - 103 Democrats and one Republican - just voted to cut $3.3 billion in weapons funding to Israel.

When Trump says he won the 2020 election in his address to the nation tomorrow night, remember that Fox News had to pay $787.5 million for lying to viewers and spreading that same lie.

What is Todd Blanche still hiding about Epstein? open.substack.com/pub/populari...

Folks advocating for year-round daylight saving time are thinking too small. Year-round daylight *investing* time is where you get the real returns.

"Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power." ~ George Orwell

Ted Cruz is the latest of a string of Republican senators to push an agreeing Blanche to ban the mailing of mifepristone. They're coming for abortion pills next.

"You know what? I'm going to be honest with you. Joe Biden won the 2020 Election. And I don't care what Donald Trump says, what's he going to do? Withdraw my nomination? I don't work for him. I work for the American people." - Said by no Trump nominee ever.

Ten communities in Massachusetts went "fossil fuel free." Then utilities spent $100 million on natural gas infrastructure there. It’s a sign of the complicated reality municipalities face as they work to transition off natural gas and meet local climate targets. buff.ly/x1ZEKRm

AOC: This is an inhaler pump. Can you guess what the great innovation was that made it worth preventing this from going generic? It’s this little plastic piece right here. That was a major part of the new patent they filed to extend exclusivity and prevent this life-saving drug from going generic.

Trump: "I call it a military operation ... they didn't obey when they were supposed to obey"

Lovers in a dangerous time - Trans-Canada Highwaymen

830 wildfires burning across Canada right now. And you know what’s going to make it worse in the future? More oil pipelines. This is why our voice and our vote matters.

Another "unprecedented" moment in the Trump 2.0 era A US Attorney General nominee has taken the oath for confirmation hearings at the Senate, 36 hours after a judge referred that nominee to the New York bar for disciplinary review

And by the way, it is illegal (and not just under civil rights law). Congress has outlined a process where once the military publishes a list, no one is to be struck from that list unless for a narrow set of reasons (none of which includes personal animus, sexism or racism).

Blanche just testified that laws prevented the DOJ from releasing the Epstein files. That's false, and a federal judge told him that last year. "The Government is the logical party to make comprehensive disclosure to the public of the Epstein Files." Doc buff.ly/L599Gzb

Slow day at the park, but I caught this pretty cool moment of a red tailed hawk in flight with their nictitating membrane closed. 🪶

How is it that Moscow Mitch McConnell was able to blockade the democratic agenda as a minority, and the dems can’t do shit to stop a criminal in the White House??

Calls grow to push ICE out of Houston, one week after fatal shooting www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/hou...

Phang: "Blanche didn't produce the handwritten interview notes about the Donald Trump sexual abuse and physical abuse. You know what Blanche said? 'The handwritten notes? Trust me, bro.' I don't have to trust you, Todd Blanche or the Trump DOJ. And the law doesn't have a 'trust me, bro' exception."

E. Jean Carroll on Donald Trump: "I don't understand how people can be afraid of a fat elderly man who wears apricot makeup, his hair done up like Tippi Hedren in The Birds and sits in a court room and moans and groans and complains” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎

Jon Ossoff: Donald Trump tried to commit voter fraud in Georgia. My opponent, Mike Collins, on the other hand, is a dyed-in-the-wool, election-denier, Trump loyalist, Trump puppet who launched his general election campaign, reaffirming his commitment to the Big Lie.

Testifying before a House subcommittee on July 14, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett described two separate incidents where threats on her life have impacted her personal life and family. https://cnn.it/4f0y1Ns

Carney calling Lindsey Graham a defender of democracy and freedom when the man made jokes on his official X account about taking over Canada is just the last straw of many last straws for me.

The House overwhelmingly voted to pass a bill to make daylight saving time permanent

In keeping with its rude & self-centered president, the United States is being a rude & self-centered host to the World Cup. “Everything must be about ME!!!!”

It’s like we’re living in a monarchy. One member of the family dies and the next in line gets put into power in our government? This is so wrong.
