“For years to come, there are many people on the right, in the media, and voters at large who are going to have to explain and justify how they fell into the trap of supporting Donald Trump.” — Marco Rubio, 2016

Garnet Smith, a 44-year-old U.S. military veteran has been detained at the Northwest Detention Center (NWDC) in Tacoma for over nine months, and recently reported to several groups that a guard employed by the GEO Group sexually assaulted him. More below

Democrats forced their Senate nominee out within days of a serious allegation. Republicans have repeatedly rallied behind candidates facing similar accusations. That difference says something important about what each party now tolerates. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

It's not a hard decision. These November elections are about who we really are. And it's our choice.

OK, that's it. I am now an unabashed Haaland fan. Bless his giant goofy-ass heart!

It’s “rules for thee, but not for me” when it comes to Texas AG Ken Paxton. He used an address where he hasn’t lived since 2024 while voting in six elections in the past two years! I break down the allegations of how Paxton may have committed a second-degree felony. youtu.be/-5hieL8HRG4?...

Of the 1.35 million active duty service members in the U.S. military, exactly one has had the courage to stand by his oath of protecting our country against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.

An important paper about protecting science from political interference. Europe needs to defend its science against the kind of attacks unfurling in the US. By Martin McKee, Christina Pagel & Tiago Correia in the European Journal of Public Health: academic.oup.com/eurpub/artic...

To suppress high oil prices during the war, the US released oil from its emergency stockpile. The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve held 319.5 million barrels as of July 3. The last time the inventory was that low was in 1983, when the reserve was still being filled. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Sports figures have a unique capacity—& one could argue, responsibility—to raise awareness about racism. For better or worse, sports is one of the few arenas where we see true racial integration, or at least diversity. Coach Popovich has been exceptional in this regard. A spur in the side of racists

The only nuclear threat to the world right now is from the man that referred to the "Islamic Republic of Japan" and Zelensky as "President Putin."

BREAKING: Our grassroots campaign raised $30 million since April. Over 780,000 individuals have donated to this movement. We’re uniting Texans onto one team to take on this broken, corrupt political system.

Voters across the country have rejected private school vouchers. Now, states can reject this federal voucher scheme and protect the public schools that serve 90% of America's students. Read the letter from @aft.org & @neatoday.bsky.social to Democratic governors: www.aft.org/press-releas...

Gold. Iyk. But iykyk.

. Hey Americans!! If you’re still wondering why the world hates you, here’s an example of a reason We don’t hate YOU per se We hate your politicians .

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

Yes we the, 75% all agree!

The Houston Chronicle, largest newspaper in Houston endorse James Talarico! 👏 Writing, “Texans deserve better than Ken Paxton’s moral rot’… Paxton’s documented deeds prove he’s a man of low character, lacking integrity. An extremely very poor candidate for an even more powerful political office.

Trump has officially tarnished the 2026 World Cup with his corruption. Did $ change hands in his transaction with the corrupt FIFA? www.mediaite.com/media/news/c...

Republicans screamed "death panels" over Obama's optional end-of-life chats, a total fabrication that still poisoned public opinion for a decade. Now Trump's own health advisers are cooking up an actual version of the thing they invented as a smear. The projection writes itself.

mech.eng.world For more than a century, these massive animals were divided into small, isolated groups by roads, fences, and human cities. But recently, something amazing has happened. As artificial boundaries have been removed, the bison have started joining together again completely on their own

I don't think Balogun deserved the red card, but I also don't like this decision by FIFA. Just as I didn't like the allowance of Ronaldo to skip his ban or the Iranian team having to go back to Mexico after every game. FIFA is corrupt, and the current American government is corrupt. Oh, go Mexico.

The amount of ICE activity around the Seattle metro area (Renton, White Center, Burien, Lynnwood, Everett) is ramping up at an alarming rate. Now is the time to be brave. Take a rapid response training class through WAISN or States at the Core. Talk w/ your neighbors about what they’re doing.

For all those complaining about the upcoming wedding of Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce, remember they are hardworking individuals. They have the freedom to plan their wedding as they see fit. Importantly, they have donated $26 million to New York charities this week. Here’s a list of those charities:

Brilliant. How real trolling is done.

"An orgy of corruption and greed..." 👉 www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-p...

Some donors who intended to give to the bipartisan, congressionally chartered America250 initiative were instead steered to the partisan, Trump-backed Freedom 250, according to a report from House Dems. The report says that could amount to "potential wire fraud and charitable solicitation fraud."

Since 2019, when I came into office, California’s economy has grown from $3 trillion to $4.25 trillion — about a 40% growth. No other jurisdiction in the United States has come close.
