Very proud to be the endorsed candidate of @brooklinepax.bsky.social! #mapoli

Texas has lost one of our own. Army Pvt. Isabella Gonzales of Carrollton, Texas—just 19 years old—was killed Friday in an Iranian strike. Her family and loved ones are in my prayers.

Look how young she is.

Re-electing @maura-healey.bsky.social and @kimdriscollma.bsky.social is essential to putting the best judges in our state courts. I’m proud and grateful to join Team Healey-Driscoll for our first joint canvass in Wellesley Aug 1, 2026 at 11:00! www.mobilize.us/maurahealey/...

“Susan Collins, Donald Trump and Senate Republicans are banking on disunity and frustration from Maine Democrats to try and win this seat, and we are not going to give them that,” said Dr. Nirav Shah, who ended his campaign, NBC News reported. “Maine Democrats are united, angry and energized.”

"Many Republican lawmakers are beginning to quiet-quit. The Wall Street Journal called it the G.O.P. “zombie Congress” — not in open revolt, exactly, but not ready to take a bullet for the president and his self-serving crusades as the midterms approach."

The war on children ... it's gotta stop. We have a duty of care to protect their futures.

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

Todd Blanche & Donald Trump are coming for the abortion pill. And they will use the 1873 Comstock Act to prevent them being mailed to pregnant women especially in those trapped in abortion ban states. Here my report on Blanche’s chilling promise! open.substack.com/pub/bonniefu...

His “blonde” companion? Knock it off, @thedailybeast.bsky.social.

"The Democratic candidates repeatedly attacked Collins and President Donald Trump rather than tearing one another down on stage," noted Nolan D. McCaskill, adding "the strategy is perhaps a reflection that the party will need to quickly coalesce behind the next nominee to unseat Collins."

Next Friday will mark *17* years since the last increase in the federal minimum wage.

BREAKING: Following Trump's speech last night, we filed a lawsuit that demands his administration turn over documents from ODNI, the FBI and the DOJ that they have been withholding. Trump has no facts to back up his election fraud claims. And we will fight for the truth and the people.

Pavlovian response every time I hear the music leading up to the top dog of the week.

NYC Bar Association opposes #ToddBlanche for AG citing 5 reasons: politically motivated prosecutions, violations of constitutional rights and court orders, misplaced loyalty to the president, the weakening of the DOJ, and questions of professional ethics. 💯 www.nycbar.org/reports/oppo...

The interim ceasefire agreed to last month has collapsed, and the region has endured days of back-and-forth attacks by the U.S. and Iran, AP reported. Iranian officials say U.S. strikes have killed dozens of people and wounded hundreds of others, including strikes Friday, AP reported. #EndlessWars

ABC, CNN and NBC not airing the same old rant and then CBS cutting away before the end because of the excessive Trump stank is about the best story to come out of this stunt. Not airing the lies in the first place was the right call, but CBS dramatically cutting away is devastating for Trump.

Morning in American journalism. #Trumpspeech

Susan Collins is blaming Democrats for ICE not wearing body cameras, but Susan Collins voted against requiring ICE to wear body cameras. Voters plan to dog Collins all over Maine and remind her they kept the receipts. It's going to be a long dark summer of lies for Collins. #SusieTheEnabler

This would be good. From @brianstelter.bsky.social: "Instead of automatically taking the speech live on the broadcast network at 9, CBS may tape-turn some clips and air a Tony Dokoupil special report later in the hour, reporting on what the president announced while fact-checking the claims."

The president does not have the right to use airtime to spread vicious lies to undermine the American people. #Trumpspeech www.axios.com/2026/07/16/t...

Jay Clayton couldn’t answer a simple question about the 2020 election. Multiple times. Senator Mark Kelly presented the question a different way in this mic drop moment.

I feel terrible about men being told they need testosterone injections. 😢

The smoke and the strange light in Concord, MA. #wildfires

Day after Sen. Susan Collins' claims she pressed Trump to restrain ICE, Trump all but says the killings will continue: Trump posted “we must be strong, tough, and smart, and we CANNOT give up one of ICE’s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP!” #SusieTheEnabler

Pete Hegseth is doing what is often done to highly qualified women: sabotaging their careers. He is melting every shattered glass ceiling and putting it back together. #sexism #glassceiling thedailybeast.com/pentagon-pet...

NEW: A bipartisan Wisconsin elections commission voted 5-1 to refer Elon Musk to prosecutors after finding probable cause he illegally offered $1 million to sway voters in the 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court election. Wisconsin elections are not for sale.

Ossoff: "We understand the president may be threatening to declare sitting senators illegitimate. If that's the course of action he pursues, he's calling GA voters illegitimate...he was humiliated as a committed lifelong racist that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat"

“I don’t know of Republicans who agree with the president.”

Watching THATS ENTERTAINMENT and kudos to the writer that had to make this read like it was remotely possible

Maine's Senator Susan Collins, suddenly requesting no more ICE car chases. Meanwhile, people died and excuses were made. As usual, a day late and a dollar short.

No judge should ever be made to feel that their safety is at risk for upholding the rule of law. #judges www.nytimes.com/2026/07/14/u...

🧵

Susan Collins could have insisted on guardrails or measures to rein in abuses. She didn’t and now her state is being terrorized by ICE.

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. They are demanding immediate accountability for this state-sponsored murder! Enough is enough!

ShotSpotter can “misclassify fireworks or sounds from cars as gunshots, and that company employees can alter evidence; during a 2016 police shooting trial in Rochester, a ShotSpotter employee admitted to reclassifying sound from a helicopter to a bullet at the request of police.”

Ana Navarro: Let’s remember that lCE has kiIIed before, just kiIIed again today. A lot of times has lied about it, has explained it in a way that does not fit the video that we see and, testimony from people on the ground. Over 52 people have died in lCE custody.

Aw, nuts. What a lovely presence he was on-screen. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Lindsay Graham staffers a profile in political courage by the standards of today’s GOP.

"It ain't nothing but a party." #TartanArmy #Boston

Summer 2015. Several lifetimes ago. A different America. Lindsey Graham, running for president, says this about Joe Biden. The same summer he said Trump would “kill” the GOP with his hateful comments. Several lifetimes ago. A different America.

Emergency personnel responded to a call for “cardiac arrest” at Graham’s Capitol Hill home on Saturday night, according to police scanner audio obtained by NBC News.

Wow… I had no idea this existed. Ireland is home to Barack Obama Plaza, a service station, visitor center, and museum honoring President Obama and celebrating his Irish ancestry. Now that’s a legacy. #SheShed 🎥 IG: ashleybetraveling

Think. About. This. The U.S. Treasury receives the revenue from most of Venezuela’s exports, then disburses it gradually to Venezuela through the country’s private banks…. Mr. Rubio and his team set the conditions on what that money can be spent on, and by whom. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/u...

“.. The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects,” said David McCraw, The Times’s top newsroom lawyer .. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/b...

What an un-American coward. Your right to protest is guaranteed by the United States Constitution, the same one he took an oath to preserve, protect, and defend. #freespeech
