“What’s happening here smacks of a cover-up,” added Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat who said he would ask the Department of Homeland Security to release the autopsy.

Major Watson stood up and now it's our turn. ⏰ Take action NOW → buff.ly/ghojyeO He risked a 17-year military career, a pension, and his freedom to honor his oath and defend the Constitution. The least we can do is send an email. 📨

Good one, Tommy Christopher! 😆

Denying reality can't protect you from it. "49% of Republicans said the economy was getting better in February but just 27% said that in a new poll. Rural Americans are more pessimistic: 64% say the economy is getting worse, and were also the most likely to say good jobs have disappeared."

"Half of all Democrats, Republicans and independents are having trouble affording everyday necessities like gas and groceries. Two-thirds – including 49% of Republicans – said they have little faith that the federal govt will improve the cost-of-living crisis." www.theguardian.com/business/202...

This is the cutest thing you'll see all week! This is a Pallas cat and her kittens. Pallases are wild, they live in Asia, and they are a hoot to watch! #cats #caturday youtu.be/Fhg8lhoZUuk?...

Smart move. Kicking him in the teeth comment-free when the opportunity arises (eg a procurement contract denied) the best way of proceeding. Belgium chain-sawing team USA last night in Seattle shows the way (much better than the Belgian deputy PM ineffectively complaining a few hours earlier

Trump is continuing to attack Cuba. Since January only one oil tanker has been allowed to dock. He has the country close to collapse. Food, drinking water and medicine are in increasingly short supply, prompting the UN to warn of a humanitarian emergency. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

The President using his platform to attack Muslim American girls.

Trump is using the government’s power to take ownership in private companies. It’s what Putin did. Trump is the closest we’ve ever come to communism.

Musk and his ilk don't want "takers" to tax the "makers." I call bullshit. No matter how good you and your products/services are, you'll be poor unless WE BUY WHAT YOU SELL - either directly or with our tax money in govt contracts. BILLIONAIRES are the real takers. WE are their makers. #MuskRat

TRUTH. Not only did Tara Reade defect to Russia she now works for Russian state TV and Putin personally granted her citizenship. This is why I will never condone the "believe the women" worldview. Women can be liars, too. Not just about rape but about ANYTHING, fergawdsake. BELIEVE THE EVIDENCE.

BLOODY HELL, MAINE. IS THIS THE BEST YA GOT??? Democrats have GOT to get better at vetting and only putting in the race candidates with integrity, no history of crimes and misbehavior, and people whose personal ambition is far outweighed by their desire to serve.

I'm shocked I don't remember this commercial. It's CLASSIC. #StarTrek #ST:TOS youtu.be/CzR7xa3KTaQ?...

Schrödinger’s McConnell???

This good man helped this poor dog, who fought his way back from cancer and now is ready for a loving home. 🥲 #dogs youtu.be/oWTiU_8E7Cc?...

It's really beautiful that there are humans in the world who will work so hard, and love so much, to help injured cats heal and have happy lives. ❤️🥲 #cats #caturday youtu.be/LpVA4rqARVk?...

It’s been six months since the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Here is how the federal government has stonewalled investigations, and how Minnesota law enforcement is attempting to push for accountability anyway

Almost a million investors have lost a combined total of $3.8 billion on Trumpcoin. You would think that would teach them who Trump is. NOT a business genius - just a con artist whose only talent is getting gullible people to part with their money.

Great op-ed from The Guardian. Which, by the way, is a nonprofit. That's why they've been able to stay independent - as opposed to news orgs owned by the filthy rich, who so quickly and happily became Trump State Media.

"How do we commemorate America’s democracy as Donald Trump undermines it? By embracing his opposition." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Fascinating! 🖖 #StarTrek #ST:TOS youtu.be/BmN4nDmZt7s?...

We have lift off! The first Pufflings are now leaving the Isle of May as birds are now independent. This is a big moment as they’ve never flown and not seen the sea before! Good luck :)

Before ANYONE dumps on #PaulPelosi, remember that a far right psychopath fractured his skull - which meant traumatic brain injury that required reconstructive surgery and a metal plate. I can personally confirm that even mild concussion makes it very hard to think clearly, esp. in emergencies.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Texans, vote for Gina Hinojosa! She hangs out with Willie, she doesn't want to kill pregnant women and force feed Christian sharia law down your throats. It's time to push Greg right on out of the governor's mansion in Austin.

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

There is no need for fireworks now with drone shows. No need for pets and vets to cower and for wild life to suffer as well as the pollution and noise. I said what I said.

The Fourth of July fireworks display in the capital impacted the amount of fine particulate matter in the atmosphere.

This is 100% true. If Antifa or people from Southern Poverty Law Center were actually posing as Nazis, they'd be arrested by the DOJ. The fact that they are being allowed to do this is absolute proof they are Trump's supporters, not imposters.

Even Musk’s AI bot knows this is a stupid conspiracy theory (which is also being spread by Musk’s algorithm):

feels like there have been an enormous number of celestial warnings this week

Switzerland mandated in 2023 that all new buildings exceeding 300 square metres of roof area must install solar panels covering a minimum percentage of that surface — the most aggressive building-integrated solar mandate in continental Europe #ActOnClimate #SolarPower #Renewables

We got a big bump in traffic yesterday when people learned about us on NPR. Thank you to @npr.org for covering our launch and bringing our story to people's attention! And thank you to all our new followers. We can do this together! 🌍️🧪💪 #ClimateAction #ClimateForUs #ProtectScience

I’ve spoken with Jason Watson. He knew exactly what this would cost him. He gave up his military career to take a brave stand for democracy. Patriotism that only works with obedience isn’t patriotism.

INSANE—the NY Coast Guard just removed Clearwater Sloop from Sail4th 250 because they had banners on their vessel promoting clean water and racial and Indigenous justice. 🤯

No Kings since 1776! 🇺🇸 Fuck tRump! Fuck his GOP enablers! Fuck ICE! And fuck Fascism!

I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE.

This is a very good Fourth of July read. Thanks for the gift link, Windlandlady!

Just look at the amount of $$$ the 🍊💩 has made while in office. All the while the American people are struggling.

While finishing a story, @justinelliott.bsky.social stumbled in an AI-fueled feedback loop. “Fakes, counterfeits and frauds that would have taken considerable effort to create just a few years ago can now be churned out pretty much instantly,” he writes.

Happy Caturday to those who celebrate! Here, for your enjoyment, is the cutest, cuddliest, happiest little kitty I've seen in ages. ❤️ youtu.be/AchoZ5Ku7Tg?...
