I'm hearing "political violence has no place in America" from people who were more than OK with what happened on Jan 6, 2021.

Yes. Yes, they are.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Wow. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. just single-handedly ruled that Congress doesn’t really control the purse strings. This is becoming a massive crisis for checks and balances and the separation of powers.

Spencer Cox: "Our nation is broken. We had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination on the gov of Pennsylvania. And we had an attempted assassination on a president. Nothing I say can unite us as a country. Nothing I can say right now can fix what is broken"

Harris warned everyone a year ago that Trump would let Putin get away with anything, including an attack against the rest of Europe, starting with Poland. Last night, Putin violated Polish airspace and Russian drones had to be shot down. Kamala Harris was EXACTLY RIGHT.

Last night, Poland recorded as many as 19 airspace violations by Russian drones coming from Belarus. Polish and NATO troops were forced to engage Russian targets over NATO territory. If NATO doesn’t set clear boundaries here, these probing missions by Russia won’t stop.

Utah recently enacted a law to make it clear that it's perfectly OK to carry a gun on a college campus, as long as you have a concealed weapon permit dailyutahchronicle.com/2025/08/18/o...

NEW: "War is here" With no suspect in custody and no known motive, far-right influencers, right-wing commentators, extremists, militia leaders, conspiracists, and Republican lawmakers all responded to the assassination of #CharlieKirk by blaming the left. www.wired.com/story/far-ri...

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Absolutely right!

In June, a Democratic state rep in Minnesota was murdered, and a state senator was shot. And a couple of days later, Trump said he wouldn't phone Gov. Walz, calling him "whacked out" and "a mess"

Obviously, there's bigger news happening right now, but Senate Republicans just voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every Democrat voted to release them. Susan Collins was the deciding vote to protect Trump and others named in the files.

I have serious doubts as to whether, after all of its politically-motivated firings, the FBI has the capacity and expertise to actually investigate Kirk’s murder. The lawsuit filed today against Patel and the Bureau describes a complete clown show that leaves all of us less safe

The war on women continues apace

“Financial decision” is code for “we need to suck up to Trump or we will lose money defending ourselves against corrupt attacks from the Administration.”

Done. No more anything CBS, @60minutes.bsky.social included.

Oh wow! Hard to see this as anything other than another Trump ask to get that merger greenlit. Fuck CBS, cancelling my subscription right now.

BREAKING: Kristi Noem wants five more consecration camps while knowing damn well undocumented immigrants commit fewer crimes, pay more taxes, and sustain the economy she leeches off. Alligator Alcatraz is just the beginning. This is war. They’re coming.

Miami Herald is doing important work on DeSantis' concentration camp.

I was on a plane a few weeks ago heading to JFK and they had a ground stop due to nonexistent thunderstorms and our pilot told us he thought it was really because the ATC tower was understaffed. I don't remember the FAA lying about stuff like this before.

Here are the top stories right now on the Washington Post and Democracy Docket websites. This is why we need independent pro-democracy media. This is why I created Democracy Docket. And this is why I hope you will subscribe and support. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

You’ll say to yourself, “why should I speak out or go to that protest or put my neck on the line? What difference can one person make? I know there are terrible things happening but I need to take care of my family.” When everyone says this, that is when we are truly lost. 7/

Many people in Nazi Germany just went along. And not because they were evil. But because it was not in their short term interest to do anything about the madness happening around them. The uncomfortable truth is that most people when put to the test, fail the test. 5/

“There is no clear precedent for what DeSantis and the president are doing." Experts question the legality of deploying National Guard officials as immigration judges.

BREAKING: Epstein victim says her friend has a Tape of Donald Trump having sex with 'many girls' recorded by Jeffrey Epstein

Obamacare was never called Massive Gorgeous Healthcare. The Bill of Rights was never called the Stunning List of Ravishing Rights. If you need to call your bill a Big Beautiful Bill, you know it's the biggest piece of shit in the known universe.

The Trump administration is aggressively pursuing efforts to strip some Americans of their U.S. citizenship. @npr.org www.npr.org/2025/06/30/n...

NEW from me — FEMA staffers say the response to the Texas floods is horrifyingly slow, and it may be because of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's recent increased control over how the agency spends money. "If this is how they are going to do a major hurricane response, people are fucked.”

The White House is withholding funding from schools that’s been approved by Congress because “initial findings” from its review show the grants had gone to “subsidize a radical leftwing agenda.” Another step towards reshaping school curriculum to push a right wing agenda. Harvard’s just the start.

What happened in LA today was intolerable political theater meant to intimidate, but behind the scenes this administration is making choices that will disrupt millions of people’s lives… #MSNBC #WeekendPrimetime youtu.be/QZ53_1R7o3I

The Trump regime has already threatened to arrest elected officials who represent the two largest cities in America for the crime of being Democrats.

ICE is preying on working-class immigrant families. Los Angeles is the epicenter of this escalating show of force. Trump is giving ICE $170 billion, roughly the size of Russia's annual military budget. That money is fueling this cruelty, and I fear this is the start of martial law.

Republicans in the House just cheered as they voted to kick 17 million people off their health care.

Our country needs many, many more doctors to step forward like this pediatrician is doing.

They just kicked a bunch of kids off of their health insurance. I hope cussing doesn’t offend you. 🤬

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Lindsey Graham’s opponent Dr. Annie Andrews just TORCHED him for voting to gut healthcare: “He’s SOLD HIS SOUL. He’s been in the Senate 22 years -half my lifetime - and he’s failed. How (does he sleep) at night?” Annie is a mom. A doctor. And his worst nightmare.

Happy July 4th! A day when we remember what was in the Declaration of Independence. The King, Jefferson wrote, 1. "has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures (what would he make of the billions that now to be spent on armed ICE officers?)

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

This is one of the absolutely most interesting threads I’ve ever encountered on social media. Yes it about Mamdani but so much more

Japan’s Government Pension Investment Fund suffered a quarterly loss as a depreciating dollar dragged down the value of its overseas securities and domestic assets slumped

At 2:00am, I lodged repeated objections to Republican’s blatant procedural abuses. They refused to consider them. Their cruel budget bill will have devastating consequences for our country — but just as shameful is their debasing of the House of Representatives. www.mediaite.com/media/news/d...

Mr. President, you love playing the schoolyard bully but, at age 79, it’s time to cut it out. It’s one thing to steal one kid’s lunch money, but your bill STEALS LUNCH MONEY FROM MILLIONS OF KIDS. Now, that’s real ugly.
