Not sure people appreciate how difficult it is to literally have NO PEOPLE at the National Mall, especially in the summer time.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov on Kushner & Ivanka: “Now Albania's anti-corruption police are getting involved… do you think Jared Kushner would get special island-buying privileges if he weren't the President's son-in-law? And isn't he supposed to be doing diplomacy, not shady land deals?”

I love this one. This was the one that made me realize these were going to work. A minute isn’t much time and I worried it was too little. But this one does more in a minute than I could do in a whole semester.

If Trump wanted to keep people away from the reflecting pool he would have held the American State Fair there

When you definitely know you’re the good guy

My number one requirement for Dems: do they know who the real enemy is.

Opinion | I don’t know the name of the DSA woman who won a primary in the Bronx. But she is now the face of the Democratic Party.

oh come on, the Oct 8 rallies weren't in mourning for Gaza, they were in celebration of Oct 7.

Trump was in his 20s when the DOJ began investigating him for discriminating against Black renters

The guy once hailed as a visionary progressive leader who was hounded out of the Obama admin for old 9/11 truther posts is now a moderate decrying America-hating leftists because that’s where the money and access are.

"The only way that change has ever happened in this country is through a small, committed group of American citizens working really hard," Dalley said. "What we're doing out here is trying to recruit those people into that citizen army.” www.npr.org/2026/06/26/n...

James Carville and other establishment Dems embrace the philosophy of losers. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

A diverse #USMNT team filled with kids of immigrants capturing the hearts and minds of Americans. World mega star like Mbappe and Lamal who have told the far right to f**k off showing out and here is the Republican press machine Politico looking for its #worldcup narrative. F off already.

I'm attending New York Working Families Party's event, “Statewide Mass Call: 2026 Primary Post-Election Debrief” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/ny-wfp/event...

A bunch of gay bars in San Francisco just started using facial recongition surveillance on customers. Madison Square Garden was just caught keeping "dossiers" on facial recognition activists ... including me Now is a great time to ask your fave artists to sign this banfacialrecognition.com/venues

Trump and his allies lambasted Obama’s Iran nuclear deal for a decade. Yet their proposed deal is objectively weaker than the JCPOA: fewer conditions, more money for Iran, and less nuclear oversight. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart

Trump Officials: "We are gutter racists who believe non-white people are racially inferior to whites. We have said publicly that non-white immigrants dilute the racial purity of our nation and thus we do not want non-white immigrants here. This is *entirely* about race." Sam Alito: "But *is* it?"

Clarity from Elie

Apparently, you're not allowed to post: “BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted!”

Agreed.

Investigate Todd Blanche. He refuses to do his job.👇🏽

What the F-ing F is this, Politico? Still peddling your own crappy storyline about NY 12? Micah Lasher will fight AI predators as or more effectively than Bores. Is it a holiday, and are interns in charge? www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

Obama should invite the Knicks to the Obama Presidential Center.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool doesn't have a vandalism problem, it has an engineering problem. First we replace fractured pipes underground. Second we stabilize lateral soil movement. Third we re-engineer shifting expansion joints. Fourth we address drainage issues. Together we can solve it.

I would rather lobotomize myself with a wooden kitchen spoon

David Frum tries, but then he slips back into muck....

I guess we saw.

I am so excited that @micahlasher.bsky.social won tonight. I am actually thrilled to live in a district that has a liberal/progressive infrastructure of community groups and clubs and old co-op buildings and churches and synagogues and unions and just the old-fashioned New Deal coalition.

I am at the @micahlasher.bsky.social event and it’s all @brucespringsteen.net

Happy 250! I was in DC for the bicentennial. We were slightly cynical, lefty children, but we still loved it. This? Horrifying. Stomach turning.

If I were writing the script, a terrifying new disease would spawn from the reflecting pool swamp, turning people American flag blue as they die. The administration would desperately reach out to Dr. Fauci for help, who would for some crazy reason let their calls go straight to voicemail.

Not beating the eugenicist allegations

lollllll -- Ossoff proposes a motion that would ban senators from trading stocks and crypto, prompting Sen. Lummis (who loves crypto) to immediately object

I only wish Sen. Warnock could defeat this harridan again.

I love voting, especially when I'm home on Election Day and I can go to my regular polling place, PS 163, the Alfred E. Smith School. The UES's assembly member Alex Bores was there today, in the heart of rival @micahlasher's UWS. A desperate play for UWS votes, or a sign of confidence? We'll see.

Ezra Klein sucks, episode 7,000:

Jesus Christ

This is an aside from the main point of this fine article, but it really grabbed me.

Chilling and true www.thenation.com/article/poli...

just a huge shout-out to the volunteers who are giving their time and money to get my dude home to another state. whatever you think Minnesotans have done for our neighbors, they've done more and are still doing it

The Angie PAC ads are so toxic & bleak…do like Tom says: join me and send a few bucks to Peggy’s campaign and help show that small donations can overpower corporate sludge and mudslinging.

Meanwhile...

Party in the back, sleeping in the front.

OMG, I can't be the first to ask: are they related? IYKYK.

Unless there’s photos of Platner dressed in an SS uniform he’s going to be Maine’s next Senator
