Maine is in absolute outrage! Protesters took over Senator Susan Collins’ office chanting "VOTE HER OUT" after an ICE thug brutally executed a 26-year-old Colombian man. We demand immediate accountability for this state-sponsored murder! Enough is enough!

Our local newspaper, The Portland Press Herald, has lifted their paywall on coverage of the ICE shooting of a man in Biddeford, Maine this morning. They have excellent reporters and will have much more accurate information than natl news as we learn more: www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/s...

Amazing! ICE kills a man ~7:30 am. 1st news report is an hour later. ~1:30 pm, a group of 𝒔𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒉𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 marches in Main Street and "storms into the Biddeford office of [U.S.] Sen. Susan Collins." Would be hard to do in NYC. Biddeford pop. = 22,000! www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/s...

Marco Rubio on 23 June: "No country is allowed to charge tolls or fees on an international waterway. That's existing international law."

Graham began his career as a tool for Newt Gingrich, who began the descent of the GOP into full amorality, and ended as a tool for Trump, who completed the process.

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

WHCA issues this empty statement as they plan to fete Donald Trump. What a sad joke.

Donald Trump very much does not want you talking about the unsafe Air Fraud One he flew into a war zone. 👇 open.substack.com/pub/jojofromje…

If anyone has more info about this, or if you've spotted similar elsewhere in the country, please message me. DMs are open or adjoro.11 on Signal. More questions than answers right now, but press freedom orgs have fought against local cops doing stuff like this because it endangers everyone.

ICE Is Hoping You Won’t Notice the Man Agents Killed In Texas The administration may have changed its P.R. strategy for Trump’s mass deportation campaign. The violence hasn’t changed at all. newrepublic.com/article/2129...

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

What a f'cking clown: "the Supreme Court’s ruling is wrong. I will be asking for a Rehearing by the United States Supreme Court, IMMEDIATELY. This miscarriage of justice will destroy America if they don’t change their absolutely insane decision..."

funny how the cutting edge of the far right is just regurgitated slaveholder agitprop from 1850.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is asking for an update from Sen. Mitch McConnell: “As Governor, I request that you fully update Kentuckians regarding the current status of your health.”

Big if true!

NEW: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” with @texastribune.org

Nor will anyone who has actually read the Declaration of Independence.

Great moments in U.S. History.

The National Parks Service has announced that the America 250 Independence Day Parade in DC has been cancelled.

Today's cartoon by Joel Pett:

The idea that the founders wanted a presidency stronger than King George III is total made-up bullshit.

Good thing that isn’t happening with capitalism.

republicans are always cowering in fear of some imagined threat, now it's gonna be pregnant foreign nationals.

its completely underated how this is the most openly corrupt administrations in the entirety of human history

Here's Cade Cavalli striking out Willson Contreras and screaming "sit down boy!" at him. Really nice and a great week for it. Does Manfred 1) do the obvious thing or 2) do nothing because he doesn't want a Turning Point spokesman to do a viral tweet about how he won't watch baseball anymore

my god

Please sit quietly in the designated freedom gravel near the patriot port-o-let, and enjoy eight (8) minutes of fireworks following a brief, TSA-style processing experience.

trump is stealing a golf course used by ordinary washingtonians and giving it to his rich friends

Not the most important story of the past week, but arguably the weirdest

This makes me incredibly sad I’m also angry that the NIH Director says he has a duty to direct taxpayers’ funding at trials of ivermectin for cancer because that’s what “the people” want; IMHO, that’s not the basis for scientific inquiry

Anthony Fauci should sue Peter Navarro for defamation. I’m not saying this hyperbolically, I mean it.

Trump claimed a saboteur armed with a box cutter caused a 350-foot gash in the newly renovated Reflecting Pool. But the manufacturer behind the project says the issue was simply "finish coat separation" and makes no mention of vandalism, sabotage, or criminal activity.

The Tonkin Gulf would like a word...

If someone from the FBI visits you about your algae posts the correct thing to do is to say you won’t talk with them. Please do not talk to the FBI. Like, at all. They have no sense of humor and they will take your stupid joke and charge you with lying to an agent.

The idea that a British citizen would deliberately choose to have a baby here because the United States of America is "the most benevolent nation in the world" with the best "social welfare system" is stupid even by the incredibly low standards of Mike Johnson.

The Secretary of Defense is actively undermining national security

HAHAHAhaha! they're making the world's biggest synthetic scum pond!!! The coating is a polyurea used inside pipes. It gels in about 3 seconds, making it non self-leveling. The texture is like an orange peel, the perfect substrate for biofilms. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

“If you don’t want to be a member of Team Fascism, then after we see you with fascists, it is up to you to actively and immediately begin digging yourself out of the fascism hole and working your way back to the correct side of history.”

NEW: An Iranian source tells Reuters that talks between Iran and the United States in Switzerland have paused, but the negotiations are not over.
