Did people see the Mamdani rally where Letitia James got up and told the city, country and the world that the more they come after her, the harder she will fight? And that she supports Mamdani for Mayor of NYC. Great job Letitia James #USDemocracy

Pres. Obama to Marc Maron: "If you're a business, you say, 'You know what? We think it's important … to hire people from different backgrounds. And we're not going to be bullied into saying that we can only hire people or promote people based on some criteria that's been cooked up by Steve Miller.'"

First there was the Opium Wars. Now we have the Cooking Oil War.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

BREAKING: We're suing ICE for refusing to comply with our FOIA request for information about the agency's plans for expanding immigration detention in the D.C. region. We have a right to know how our taxpayer dollars are being used to fund ICE's abusive detention machine.

🧵 Am I the only one freaking out about this? Ryan Walters is cramming white supremacist ideology down kids’ throats again! Oklahoma’s mandate to force a Turning Point USA chapter into every high school is a flagrant assault on educational freedom & democracy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump is threatening to destroy the lives of 100Ks of Federal Workers and their families unless HE gets the budget HE wants. This is why capitulating doesn't work. A tyrant and a bully will only escalate until people, in this case Congress, finally tell him to FRO. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This falls in with those things that I can't say what I want to publicly. These people make me sick. #Pinks #ProudBlue

While we were distracted by Charlie Kirk, the incompetence of Kash Patel, the conviction of Jair Bolsonaro and the GOP voting not to release the Epstein files Republicans in the Senate were busy deploying the nuclear option by shredding the filibuster Thanks so much, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Prince Harry met with Ukrainian veterans at the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in World War II. 🫡 About 500 veterans were reportedly in attendance.

Reading this morning about the flags at half-staff, moments of silence, and media sane-washing has got me aggro and flummoxed. Pandering to the worst in people is a big reason for where we are now.

It's going to be another shit news day. Rinse, repeat, and recycle. Charlie Kirk and floods in Pakistan are the talking points du jour. News fixation is funny that way; one would be forgiven for thinking it was by design.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

By the way…this is John Paulson. Yes….THAT John Paulson.

I don’t give a damn how “frustrated” GOP senators now are with RFK Jr. Screw their frustrations. They were the ones who voted to put that whack job in charge of the nation’s public health. They own every dangerous, irresponsible thing Kennedy does. Cowards.

As I watched a group of survivors of abuse standing outside our nation’s Capitol, I had two immediate thoughts: The first was: the courage of these women is beyond measure. The next was: this is a second act of violence against them. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/first-jeff...

A new perspective and a little humor gives me something to think about. Good Thursday, everyone.

Absolutely valid 💯💯

I’ve lived in LA my entire life. It’s massive. LA County is 4,753 square miles. The anti-ICE protests encompassed no more than TWO city blocks and ONE burning Waymo. Trust me, LA would be standing whether Trump weaponized the military for political reasons or not.

My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

Those Reform nutjobs reminded me: "Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, grabbing an Indian curry or Turkish kebab takeaway, then going home to sit on Swedish furniture & watch American shows on a Japanese TV, while being suspicious of anything foreign."

First, they came for John Bolton And I did speak out Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache, I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.

Who among you have had enough of this shit? 🖐🤚

Forget policy papers. This is psychological warfare…and Newsom is winning.🔥 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

You know how some people celebrate their birthdays for the whole month? Well, I'm doing that for James Dobson's death.

I have been banging this drum for six years.

Great work, John Roberts. You’ve played a key role in wrecking our beloved country.

Newsom’s calling the shots...and California’s proving what real reform looks like. Redistricting done right...by the people...for the people. No more gerrymandered traps. He’s lighting the blueprint for state-level democracy fights nationwide

📌 Hope this soul follows him everywhere . A true hero 🐥

Jerome Powell has more guts and integrity then most of our elite institutions inside out and outside of government COMBINED.

Just remember...there was absolutely nothing normal about the United States Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell. Nothing. Not by protocol. Not by precedent. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

CBS cancels Colbert Unrelated: F.C.C. Approves Skydance’s $8 Billion Merger With Paramount

America has never been weaker. Having destroyed the government departments overseeing money, weapons, and intelligence, the United States has no actual tools to deal with the rest of the world. Like literally.

Is NOBODY going to call DoJ's Todd Blanche "questioning" Ghislaine Maxwell what it actually is - WITNESS TAMPERING? Really, not one person?

The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.
