BREAKING → The DOJ has informed a group of Republicans that the Epstein files are “even worse” for Trump than previously reported. Journalist Michael Wolff said in an interview that Epstein had shown him photos of Trump with half-naked “young girls” in his lap. Trump’s silence and

Here at Northcenter Town Square where 100-200 community members including families and young children are rallying after a teacher was taken by federal law enforcement from a local daycare this morning.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

This is an abhorrent policy for any Liberal or Conservative president. Not an assertion of guilt, but a numb, amoral indifference to guilt or innocence. An anti-Constitutional assertion that no consensus building or concern for dissent—that is leadership—is necessary before slaughter begins.

ICE/CBP are terrorizing people who recognize that it’s the same evils the previous generations fled.

An Air Canada flight right now

Day 24 of Emmanuel Garcia being in federal custody. He’s a 15 year old autistic boy who went missing 4 weeks ago. Houston PD found him, contacted ICE & his Mom is fighting to get him back She’s not allowed to visit him. They’re keeping a disabled kid from his family & the media is largely silent

WATCH: “This viral chart about who uses SNAP is a complete lie 🤥 - 35% go to white people, the largest share… 90% are 🇺🇸-born citizens… 70% work full time, meaning it’s subsidizing corporations that don’t pay workers a living wage… 86% of SNAP households have children…”

@tavaresbooks.bsky.social : For Language Arts, My 7th grader had to make a trailer for a book that she read. I was so impressed with this Hoops trailer…figured I’d share it with you. I also enjoyed this book!

The real question is: Why the hell do they keep giving him cognitive tests?

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage. The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn. No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Trump has now murdered 34 people in international waters. No one has any idea if any were criminals, and of course it doesn't matter, because it was a war crime to kill even a single one of them. Drug trafficking is a felony, but it's not a violent crime and isn't punishable by summary execution.

This is insane. If Obama did this the GOP would impeach

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

I have never seen such a perfect image

Seems like a reasonable request

Grant Park Chicago. #NoKings

No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity. But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

More from the ongoing No Kings in Oxford, Mississippi. No one can tell me if I’m supposed to receive my George Soros money as a check or direct deposit, but otherwise great turnout.

No Kings Holland MI. Have to say seeing all these people in this small mostly conservative town made me tear up. Didn’t realize how many emotions this would bring up. #NoKings #HollandMI

More from #NoKings in Houston. It's hot, but we are here peacefully and our voices will be heard.

Days GOP refuses to swear in Adelita Grijalva: 24 Number of Epstein clients arrested: 0

Trump & Bessent are considering another $20 billion to Argentina in the middle of a government shutdown. Federal workers are standing in line at food banks. People are at risk of losing their healthcare. Food assistance is being cut. Half of Americans can’t afford a basic standard of living

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss. You’re caught up. Ps: Welcome back.

Debbie Brockman of WGN in Chicago has hired an attorney and plans to fight back against her unlawful arrest and detention by ICE. Freedom of the press is under attack. Tackling and arresting journalists is another step towards state run media. Bring on the lawsuits.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."
