New in PN: Trump's red-baiting won't work "With capitalism failing so many Americans, it’s not enough for Trump to just shout 'Commies!' and assume the votes will follow -- especially when, in all his corruption and greed, he is the living embodiment of capitalism's worst version."

“He’s feeding the cats!” “He’s feeding the dogs!” That sneaky Mamdani. ❤️🐶❤️🐈

Amazing to see Trump stealing from Mamdani’s subsidized grocery platform with the most GOP possible remix, nationalizing gas stations. If I had to distract from re-waging a war I already lost though, “have you considered the benefits of socializing fossil fuels” to the GOP is definitely one option.

Mamdani, like AOC, is a genuinely, deeply kind and loving human laser focused on doing everything he can to make life better for everyone. They're both demonstrating the way out of America's fascist descent every day. May the nation follow their example. www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/nyc...

Mamdani is taking from the billionaires, who are takers who took from the makers, the workers.

News Analysis: While President Trump insulted allies and demanded loyalty at the NATO summit, the military alliance moved quietly closer to accepting more European responsibility for defense.

NEW: In the case of OB-GYN Mark Mulholland, who was repeatedly accused of sexual misconduct, Washington’s medical board waited six weeks to announce it had filed charges. He kept seeing patients during that time, and one alleges he abused her in the interim. with @kuow.org

I just want to thank all the men defending Platner for pointing out who we shouldn’t leave our drinks alone with. We see you. You’re not special. Every woman has encountered you. We appreciate the heads up.

No one in US politics will say this, I don't know why we should expect NATO leaders to do it

Important if Trump means it. Although I fear a lot of Ukrainians will die before it can start making its own Patriots. It’s imperative for other countries to send their stockpiles to Ukraine as an interim measure.

I believe we are dealing with is a Schrödinger's McConnell situation

It's long past time to investigate AIPAC and it's funding. Is it receiving aid/money from Netanyahu's government (which we may be paying for) to support those public officers and Congressmen who support Netanyahu's genocide? Questions. Questions.

While Texans celebrated July 4, Senate candidate Ken Paxton was seen walking the streets of London with his alleged mistress. Just like Graham Platner, he should never become a U.S. senator.

The Kremlin keeps rewriting history to cast itself as the victim. But 1,595 days after Russia launched its unprovoked war of aggression, no amount of disinformation can hide the truth.

Congress voted against more war with Iran. The U.S. should not be launching new strikes without congressional authorization and restarting a war that has raised gas prices, killed Americans, and hurt the economy. The U.S. and Iran must return to a ceasefire.

The President calling other countries’ leaders, “bad people” is a convicted felon and sexual assaulter who is covering up his participation in sex trafficking ring.

ALERT: Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) asks Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to provide a health update to him and to all Kentuckians

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear sent a public letter to Sen. Mitch McConnell requesting a full update on his health, citing weeks of limited information since McConnell’s June 14 hospitalization. Beshear called for transparency about his ability to serve.

Ken Paxton reportedly voted in six elections using an address where he allegedly did not live, despite warning Texans against illegal voting. #Texas www.texastribune.org/2026/07/07/k...

Paxton warned Texans not to lie about their address to vote. Then voted six times from an address he'd already moved out of. Somebody call the tip line on the guy who runs the tip line.

Just talked to my old friend Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes.

It’s about time the press started scrutinizing why Platner was embraced by the party with so many red flags. "This reckoning by the Democratic Party over how a man who has so much baggage …has been tolerated and embraced and permitted to stay in this critical race." - Nicolle Wallace

On June 21, 2026, the average global sea surface temperature peaked at an astounding 21°C (70°F). According to the Copernicus Climate Change Service, this sudden spike completely eclipses the previous record highs set in 2023 and 2024.

"Just as junk embryology cloaks the intent to put adult women in their place, beneath the idea of binary biological sex lies a darker, meaner social ideology of gender," writes @judith-levine.bsky.social.

The few instances of voter fraud have been perpetrated by Republicans because every accusation is a projection and an admission of guilt.

Some of the loudest voices online aren’t voices at all, just automated scripts designed to repeat, amplify, and mislead. Learn to spot what’s human and what’s scripted. Stay alert.

Kasie Hunt asked Scott Jennings on live TV if McConnell would be willing to call in to CNN. The discomfort on Jennings’ face while he tried to bullshit his way around that answer was really something. Methinks we still aren’t getting the whole story.

The McConnell family is getting in some practice pulling plugs.

Emergency departments use triage, which prioritizes patients by the severity of their condition rather than arrival time. If you’re waiting 12 hours before being assessed, it’s unlikely your condition was considered the highest priority.
