Iran says it is breaking off talks to end war after U.S. and Israeli strikes

The "boring suburban dad." The son of an immigrant. And the political disrupter. They're three members of the "Broadview Six." And they say they have "nothing to apologize for." From @chicago.suntimes.com: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

This is so obvious that I’m sure many people have said it and there are 1 billion reasons that it can’t happen: But the obvious way for Kimmel to quit without making it look like a concession to Trump is to hand the show to Stephen Colbert.

Kennedy Center should sell tickets to them removing Trump’s name from the exterior.

Ossoff: They tried to run Kemp, but he refused. So we're left with the congressman who's only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman and the coach, who's only a coach because his daddy was a coach.

I don’t think the judge went far enough He should’ve ordered Trump to take his name off the Kennedy Center HIMSELF

omg

It was an honor to share time with a magnificent human, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, yesterday.

Besides the Lord of the Rings movie my prediction for Colbert’s next thing will be an incredibly genuine podcast talking with theologians and the Episcopalians of Bluesky will be wild about it

Texas School Police Pepper-Sprayed, Tackled and Tasered Students School officers across the state turned to heavy-handed tactics on children, often in response to minor misbehavior, our investigation shows.

good example of how interviewers can humiliate MAGA guys not by arguing with them but just getting them to straightforwardly describe their beliefs

Ouch.

The interior secretary lashed out at claims that the Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial was already leaking after the Trump administration's scrambled renovation.

ICE is targeting press outside Delaney Hall

Ramping up the fascism.

The US Attorney's Office for Washington, led by Jeanine Pirro, a close ally of President Donald Trump, has subpoenaed the social media companies as part of criminal investigations, asking for personal information on at least two anonymous posters

“We were really worried about the families here and learned that people were not sending their kids to school and are now facing precarity around food and housing.”

RIP Mulligan. Went to the big Drumstick ice cream cone in the sky last night. (He loved those.) Everybody should have a family cat live over 20 years, so you can remember all of the versions of yourself and family that he saw over that time. He was sweet to the end.

The most corrupt president in U.S. history.

what else should we be curlying. curly dogs. curly pizza. curly funnel cake

Charles Mauldin said he’ll never forget the sound of John Lewis’ skull cracking as police beat several civil rights activists in Selma in 1965. Mauldin spoke to ProPublica about that day — and how being tear-gassed as a teenager has affected him.

Converting to Catholicism so I can tell my bosses using unregulated AI is against my religion and I will sue them like that cake lady who hated gay people if they make me use it

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

DACA recipients are losing their ability to work — and their security in the United States — due to prolonged processing times for renewals.

When we have a real president again, he or she will have to waste inordinate amounts of time cleaning up the terrible mess created by this awful mistake of a human who never should have been allowed near the levers of power.

“Making America Great Again”

Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile. Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’ @JamesTalarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist.

“I don’t care about the midterms,” Trump said today during his 12th Cabinet meeting. …the remark also comes two weeks after the president told reporters “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation” when approaching those negotiations.

i do not think this loser is unique in this-it seems ingrained in politicians in general which makes that brad lander dude seem even more amazing in retrospect tbh

The Cornyn Con finally caught up to John Cornyn

Texas saw the country elected a crook and said “hold my beer”

Given Ken Paxton's clear track record of protecting pedophiles, it's no wonder that Trump is backing him. This is the man that Texas Republicans just chose as their candidate for Senate--a man who cuts sweetheart deals with sexual predators who repeatedly rape children.

South Carolina Republicans block Trump’s effort to gain more House seats 
The failure to approve a new map in South Carolina preserved the district of Rep. James E. Clyburn, a power broker within the Democratic Party and the first Black member of Congress elected from the state in nearly a century.

DHS says ICE has no current contract or relationship with the Israeli-founded company, which is best known for making a spyware tool called Graphite that can be used to remotely infiltrate devices and access encrypted messages without targets needing to click a link.

House Democrats are laying the groundwork for a number of probes into Trump should they win control of Congress in November. Rep. Robert Garcia — who’d chair the House Oversight Committee — said “We’ve got a team on Epstein, we have a team on Trump family corruption, we have a team on DHS and ICE.”

“They don’t want oversight or accountability,” Sherrill said. “There should be no reason that they wouldn’t have people in the prison to show that it is being run well.” "Other lawmakers … say they have also been denied access to the facility.” SHUT IT DOWN AND FUND FAMILIES INSTEAD

Google is cannibalizing the web to feed AI

honestly is there any issue of importance where women don't consistently poll better than men?

His trial on first-degree felony continuous sexual abuse of a young child charges ended in a mistrial in June 2025 after jurors deadlocked 7-5 in favor of finding him guilty. The Attorney General’s Office (KEN PAXTON) reduced the charges in exchange for his guilty pleas.
