It’s interesting how quickly symbolic talking points become political victories, even when the underlying issue is far more complex.

I feel so owned.

It’s worth remembering that historical reputation is usually shaped by a broader pattern of decisions, not a single event or headline.

Ossoff: I don’t think many people are tuning in because he’s lost it. But more importantly, what we’re seeing is how destabilized he is by his global humiliation in the Middle East, which he cannot deny or lie away. He has cemented his place in history in disgrace.

Once a bill has veto-proof support, the process becomes less about whether it passes and more about how the political credit is distributed.

This bill will automatically become law in ten days (the senate can create a pro forma session by not totally adjourning June 29 when they go on break.) And the bill has a veto-proof majority. Donald is only hurting his own party by skipping the signature photo op.

Moments like this remind people why preparation matters. Confidence is much more convincing when it’s backed by knowledge.

STEINER: Can you tell me what those statues are, bc I don't know KIM: You don't come to us for cheat codes. This is something you should be aware of S: I absolutely am K: Can you tell me then the difference between Title 39 & 13? S: I'm not a lawyer K: I'm not either, but I know the difference

When full-time workers still struggle to afford basic necessities, it raises important questions about how economic success is being distributed.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Every dog deserves someone who believes in them. Bryan is out here making sure they get that opportunity. 🐶❤️

This is Bryan. Once a week, he takes a shelter pup on a New York City adventure in his ‘Adopt Me’ backpack, hoping someone will fall in love. He films their big day out, and almost every dog he’s featured has found a forever home. [📹 madmax_fluffyroad] Original post

It’s remarkable how often urgent policy discussions end up overshadowed by political drama. The people affected still need solutions.

Just moments ago the President was supposed to sign a bipartisan housing bill here in the capital. Except, in a bizarre chapter, he didn’t and is a no show—because he says he’s mad at the Senate. Here’s what’s happening ⬇️👀

It’s always interesting when energy policy moves from theory to something people can actually see reflected in their daily lives and utility bills.

Beginning next week, Australians get free electricity for three hours every afternoon. That's what happens when you build out wind, sun, and batteries open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

Real dog? Those eyes, that face, and that loyalty say otherwise. Richard is 100% certified good boy. 🥹🐶

This is Richard. He's sometimes accused of not being a real dog because of his weird paws and inability to bark. Thinks his pack would say otherwise. 12/10 for all (IG: richardandtheguardians)

Some matches are worth staying up for. Scotland defeating Brazil would instantly become one of those stories people remember exactly where they were when it happened.

Scotland beating Brazil would be among the most magnificent moments in the history of British football. But I’m still going to struggle to stay up/not die of heat stroke…

Words matter. What may seem minor in a briefing can have life-altering consequences for the people living with those injuries.

Shrapnel. Concussion. Lung damage. Hearing loss. Vision loss. Military officials say that they were “Not seriously injured.” Wounded troops are now accusing Pentagon officials of covering up the extent of their injuries due to the Iran war. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/A0TpvbfKdTVu...

It’s easier to fear groups of people when they remain abstract. Real conversations with real individuals tend to complicate simplistic narratives very quickly.

You dislike Muslims, but have you thought why? Do you know any Muslims? Have you had bad experiences with Muslims? Or is your hate coming from the TV? Radio? Press? You don’t hate Muslims, you think you do, because you’ve been told to by the media, every minute of every day. #Islamaphobia #RacistUK

Large-scale transitions like this demonstrate that sustainability goals can move beyond discussion and into implementation.

Since January 1, 2025, the City of Chicago has transitioned to using 100% clean, renewable energy to power all City streetlights and 400+ City buildings including O’Hare Airport, Midway Airport, Harold Washington Library, City Hall, and more.

One of the defining questions in politics is who gets to make deeply personal healthcare decisions: individuals, their doctors, or the government.

🚨 Today marks the 4th anniversary of the Dobbs decision — when the Supreme Court ripped away the constitutional right to abortion and put women’s lives at risk. Extremists celebrated. Women suffered. Now it’s on us to fight back. Vote Democratic to restore Roe! #VoteDemRestoreRoe

Regardless of political affiliation, preventable medical emergencies and barriers to healthcare should concern anyone who values public health and patient safety.

4 years since the dreadful Supreme Court Dobbs decision turned back the clock 50 years and eroded reproductive freedom and women’s rights. Texans are dying from pregnancy complications and struggling to access basic health care. Restoring abortion rights must be a top priority in a new Congress.

When preventable deaths occur, it is reasonable to ask whether existing policies are achieving their stated goals or creating additional harm.

“Abortion bans don’t stop abortions, but they do kill people. They kill women, in higher numbers, but in many of the same, preventable ways, that these women were dying before. All of which was completely and utterly predictable.” - @amylittlefield.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Street closures, hotel bookings, and Taylor Swift rumors are basically the modern version of smoke signals.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have reportedly filed a permit request to close streets around Madison Square Garden from July 2-4, according to TMZ. Several members of the Kansas City Chiefs have also booked hotels in the area for the same time period.

There comes a point where arguing stops being productive and preserving your own sanity becomes the wiser choice.

Visiting my parents in law who have been shut in their air conditioned home all week watching tv and are just trying to tell me that climate change isn’t real. I’m…I’m just so tired…

Housing affordability is one of the biggest economic issues facing millions of Americans. People care about it every single month when the bills come due.

"No one gives a shit about housing." Only ballrooms.

Political parties evolve. Every generation seems convinced the next one is ruining everything, right up until it starts winning elections.

‘I’m Done, I’m Not in That F*cking Political Party’: James Carville Freaks Out After Progressives Win Big in Democratic Primaries

Tracy Chapman had a remarkable ability to turn simple lyrics into something timeless. Decades later, the song still feels relevant.

"Talkin' Bout a Revolution" (Tracy Chapman): An acoustic call to action that asserts the poor and marginalized will eventually rise up to demand their fair share of resources.

Primaries are supposed to be where voters decide the direction of a party. The shock always comes when voters take that responsibility seriously.

The Democratic Party freaking out that Democratic Party candidates are winning is the most Democratic Party thing ever.

Elections are ultimately feedback mechanisms. When voters consistently send a message, successful parties tend to adapt rather than dismiss it.

"After the last month, Democratic leadership should be seriously taking stock of their position," writes Ben Davis. "The energy is on their left. The people are on their left."

One of the realities of public office is that criticism becomes part of the legacy. Future generations will draw their own conclusions from the record that is left behind.

Not just dead last in Presidential rankings, but a truly loathsome "human" being in his own right & the worst thing that ever happened to this country. Someone should post this on "Truth" Social or Fox "News" so he would actually see it. #Embarrassment_In_Chief

Housing costs are one of the most immediate challenges facing millions of families. It’s understandable that people would want that issue addressed without unrelated political conditions.

President Trump was supposed to sign the largest bipartisan housing bill in 30 years into law today. He’s refusing to do so until his election-rigging bill passes.   This is Trump 101: Trump first, Americans last. He’s a disgrace to this nation.
