As voters get increasingly upset over the cost of living, a rising populist tide threatens New York’s powerful incumbents.

Dolezal said he and “a number of friends” deliberately submitted mail-in ballot applications with altered signatures — including forms signed by children — and then used the fact that they received ballots to argue that Georgia’s system facilitates fraud. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The court cited the “overwhelming evidence that these subpoenas were not issued to investigate, but to harass, coerce, and retaliate.”

lol

I just watched videos of IDF soldiers burning American flags because they are so angry that we are trying to end this war. The arrogance of these people. We give them billions and billions of dollars.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Could not agree more! Not only did Hillary beat the Orange Atrocity by 2.8 MILLION votes, but Al Gore got 543,895 MORE votes than Bush! The Electoral College allows candidates who received less votes to win the presidency. ABOLISH THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

His toughest opponent yet turned out to be photosynthesis. #AlgaeGate

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky: When you have somebody like Todd Blanche at the helm of the DOJ, it’s hugely problematic. He has the president’s best interests at heart. He does not have the American people’s best interests at heart. He’s so unfit to be the acting attorney general.

Birmingham UK antifa protesters outnumber the far-right demonstration and the police force that came to avoid any clash between the two sides.

The President of the United States is a liar.

19 June 1971, Carole King started a five week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'It's Too Late / I Feel The Earth Move'. Both songs were from her million selling Tapestry album. #CaroleKing

NEW: Many conservatives hoped for a standoff between New York’s Muslim democratic socialist mayor and Pope Leo XIV’s new archbishop. Instead, a shared love of the poor — and the Knicks — is making them fast friends.

We Do Too, Mr. De Niro.......

Michelle and I had fun surprising the first group of visitors to the Obama Presidential Center on Juneteenth. Come check it out!

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

ANY other President would have been removed, disgraced, and castigated.

We are digging coal

Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today! We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.

BREAKING: Police releases photo of the criminal who vandalized the Reflecting Pool:

"This week’s three big winners:" The Knicks, Iran, and the smell of Algae.

Not only are you not alone if you believe things don't have to be this way. In fact you are part of a powerful American majority, one with the power to decide our future.

DATA CENTERS = BAD

Yes indeed and you'll be in the history books.

Did DoD just admit in a court filing that it used xAI's Grok Gov Model to hit the girls' school on the first day of the Iran war? Based on some passages flagged by @rgoodlaw.bsky.social in DoD's recent filing in NAACP's case against X, it looks like it did 1/

Trump is clearly lying in this encounter as he provides his own motive for the lie.

Trump's war in Iran is one of the worst foreign policy decisions in American history. 15 weeks in, all he has to show for it is an agreement that spends billions to rebuild Iran while leaving the nuclear question unresolved.

Fuck that bitch in particular. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

"Your violence only strengthens our resolve. Have you forgotten who you’re up against?"

Juneteenth reminds us that freedom is hard fought, but guaranteed when we organize and refuse to back down. The work is not done. Today, we celebrate Black American resistance and resilience, and recommit to the transformation required to deliver real equity and justice for all.

trump sleeps as his radical regime destroys basic american values. Top on the list all freedom including religion, speech, gathering, voting and all freedom in general. We need to take action against these radical low iq morons. www.cnn.com/2026/02/19/p...

I know I keep saying this but, fuck. Politics aside.. The President of the United States is a complete and utter embarrassment. I have never seen such cringe and uncouth behavior in my entire life. Fullstop, what the fuck are we doing America?

The President of the United States is a liar.

It’s time for Netanyahu to go to prison now.

“Weeks after the Civil War's guns fell silent and 2 months after President Abraham Lincoln's assassination, Union troops arrived in Galveston, TX…freeing enslaved people...the date they arrived — June 19, 1865 — is now remembered as the first "Juneteenth." Source: www.npr.org/2026/06/19/n...

Meanwhile, over on X... "Facts Are Stubborn Things." — John Adams #TrumpSurrenders

Today I’m remembering the very last people in America to be freed from chattel slavery, who were not the Texans who learned of the Emancipation Proclamation on this day in 1865, but thousands of people in Delaware, Kentucky and New Jersey, who were freed by the 13th six months later.

“I don’t know why the President of the US behaves like this toward his allies. It’s not the first time. It is disappointing that he does not show the same determination with the enemies of the West and the US, whose leaders he instead treats with far greater indulgence.” - Italy PM Giorgia Meloni

Tribute at the #WorldCup to the 168 innocent girls MURDERED by US forces under the command of #TrumpThePaedo.

By the way nobody is arguing that the Iranian military isn’t diminished . It is (but now they have the cash to rebuild) A military exists to achieve an outcome. And the Iranian military achieved theirs. The regime is in place, we’ve promised to leave the region, we’re lifting sanctions, etc

Many of us have been saying this for years.

"As a rule, when responding to a bomb threat, ICE isn’t the first law enforcement agency that comes to mind — what are they going to do, detain the bomb for weeks in squalid conditions before deporting it to a country it’s never been to before?..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
