I’m sorry, this summary does not accurately reflect the statements in the Dutch article. As such I’d classify it as fake news. All the article says is the Dutch security services now are more careful in determining what they will and won’t share with the Americans. Which I think is prudent.

Unbelievable story of Afghan refugee, a highly vetted fluent English speaker who helped the US against the Taliban and now lives here with his US citizen kids, declared “illegal” and perhaps about to be shipped home by the Trump admin to his likely death

A MUST listen to message from Timothy Synder: Why protest is patriotic #NoKings — NO KINGS in America since 1776 open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Are you ready for the largest peaceful protest in modern US history? In five days, millions of Americans will stand up and speak out on a massive scale to reject Trump’s authoritarianism and show the world what democracy looks like. We’ll see you on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18." 👉👉 nokings.org

Nearly 10% of humanity (~800M people in 2025) struggles to live on less than $3 a day. It’s important for Americans to appreciate that reality — and the growing gap between the extremely poor & the extremely privileged — because, as USAID demonstrated, our nation has the power to change it. 🧵 1/8

After our intervention this morning in Pennsylvania and our new lawsuit tonight in Nevada, this is now 57 voting and election cases in 25 states. I am still expecting at least 4 more this week.

John Oliver Torches Israel’s Netanyahu for 30 Minutes Straight: ‘This F*cking Guy!’

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

I support Harry. It's time for new leadership if there is ever to be effective opposition again.

This aired on Dutch TV last night. "A whole new Disney!"

🚨NEW: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. Trump ain't sleeping tonight. 🤣 This is a must-watch. 🔥

DONALD, YOU DIDN'T SOLVE INFLATION. YOUR ILLEGAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL & DISCREDITED TARIFFS JACKED UP PRICES & AMERICAN FAMILIES ARE PAYING THE PRICE. BUT ENJOY YOUR TIME AWAY FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES W/ YOUR STRANGE JAUNT IN THE UK W/ A “KING”—REMEMBER WE DON’T ALLOW THEM HERE SIR!!

Capitulating to bad-faith people who are acting in bad faith is cowardice. It is also never, ever, ever, ever, ever a good idea.

It’s not normal that Republicans can lie and spew any insults on any platform or media outlet and get away with it, whereas Democrats like Matthew Dowd get fired for being “insensitive“ while telling the absolute truth. This is a repulsive double standard.

Putin has failed to agree to either a ceasefire or a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — Trump has demanded both — and he has paid no real price for his recalcitrance. Little wonder that he treats Trump with contempt, barely veiled by rote flattery. wapo.st/4gmMfY3

The United States cannot afford to stand idly by while Putin ramps up his aggression against not only Ukraine but also its NATO neighbors. If Trump won’t act, Congress — an equal branch of government, after all — must step in. wapo.st/4gmMfY3

Putin is not worried about Trump’s reaction. This was Trump’s response online Wednesday to the latest Russian transgression: “What’s with Russia violating Poland’s airspace with drones? Here we go!” Here we go? That is not a message designed to get Putin’s attention. wapo.st/4gmMfY3

Republican lawmakers are shameless, complete hypocrites. They truly disgust me.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

When Ghislaine Maxwell revealed to Todd Blanche that several members of Trump‘s cabinet were involved with Jeffrey Epstein, instead of asking for more information, as a prosecutor would, Todd Blanche quickly changes the subject.

I hate that my favorite sporting! event #usopen is being tainted by the orange felon. Why couldn’t he just stay away and let us have this day to fully enjoy? They better not show him on my tv !

Also wanted to say that I got to meet Tom Hanks when the West Point glee club was invited to celebrate the opening of the National Museum of African American History and honoring the Tuskegee Airman.He was the host. It’s crazy that this is the exact same institution. (I’m in this photo)

The VIP Box we used for talent performing Opening & Closing Ceremonies was right next to Trump’s VIP box, he was usually there with Miss Universe contestants doing his predator moves…this check out👇

I worked on the US Open for over a decade a lot of my friends are still on the gig, hopefully one of ‘em in the TV trucks says f*ck the USTA & shows the crowds reaction to Trump. I’m sick of all the lying down for fascism, he has a sordid history at Open including sexual assault.

The line Trump referenced today from Apocalypse Now, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning," is about the absurdity of war and the profound psychological damage it inflicts on everyone involved. Seems like Trump was, unintentionally, right on target. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

Thanks to a standing order signed by the state health officer Thursday, anyone in Washington state can get the Covid-19 vaccine without consulting their doctor.

We need a Secretary of Health and Human Services. Not a Secretary of Conspiracies. Not a Secretary of Measles and Food Poisoning. Not a Secretary of Cancelled Research and Chemtrail Nonsense. RFK Jr. is burning down our public health system from the inside. Fire him.

I wrote about the humility of expertise and the arrogance of ignorance, the profound laziness that attends believing that you can find knowledge by ignoring the accumulation of inherited human knowledge, and the ways lazy arrogance fuels narratives of fascism. www.the-reframe.com/your-ignoran...

Great news for everyone who wants to force the Justice Department to release the Epstein files!

What is up with the teams of some of tennis players in matching clothes at the US Open? Some look like NASCAR drivers- with all of the sponsor patches!

Nory Sontay Ramos was a thriving high school student in L.A. until she and her mom were deported by the Trump administration in July. For @msnbc.com, we visited her in Guatemala as she tries to graduate remotely while hiding from the same gang they fled years ago. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/n...
