The Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law 16 years ago today. Though it included some key reforms, it failed to include the most important way to prevent future crashes: reinstate the Glass-Stegall Act and separate Wall Street from Main Street.

Just read today in @baltimoresun.bsky.social that both candidates for MD governor—including @govwesmoore.bsky.social —are refusing to release their tax returns. I’d believe that R Dan Cox would refuse, but Gov Moore?!

My local NBC affiliate has apparently led a nation wide investigation into ICE flights and is airing that report at 8pm mountain tonight. 9news once again showing why they are an absolute jewel.

BREAKING NYT: The Trump admin sought the phone records of several Times journalists and their relatives — including one reporter's mother — in its effort to unmask the confidential sources who had provided information for articles about the security capabilities of Trump's new Air Force One jet.

I just had a twenty-minute phone convo with Mitch McConnell. he said Andrew Tate's outfit was to die for

We’ve been making hot diarrhea summer jokes like we’re @theonion.com , but the truth is that one reason the cyclospora outbreak has been hard to contain is that DOGE cut staff at the testing lab by ~75%. Thank you to those who remain. Yet another reason to curse Elon ✅ www.wired.com/story/cdc-cy...

@schwartzforcongress.com This would work for Absent Andy Harris in MD1 as well!

Dem leaders could communicate better. But even when they do, most ppl don't hear them--except through the distorted lens of GOP lies--bc most media/SMedia consumed are Right Wing. bsky.app/profile/upin...

This free documentary is a MUST SEE. Shuffling people around the US, away from their attorneys and family, away from their Habeas Corpus filings, on a merry-go-round of extremely expensive tax-payer funded charter flights, is a key part of the ICE death machine and hardly anyone is talking about it.

That would be illegal. You can report it to the FDA www.fda.gov/safety/recal...

#ETTD Kroger had a LOT of bagged #TaylorFarms and other salads on their “flash sales” tonight. Seems like a bad deal.

On Tuesday, a New Jersey town pulled $91M out of Citizens Bank over its business with ICE prison contractors GEO Group and CoreCivic. Yesterday, Citizens announced it was ending its relationships with GEO and CoreCivic. Money managers should DIVEST from #$GEO #$CXW www.nj.com/essex/2026/0...

#britbox Really low! Holding the last half of a series hostage unless you upgrade your subscription.

Maybe more frequent wildfire smoke will get people to care about what’s in the air and use filters? Then those of us very susceptible to those nasty airborne viruses will find some relief as well.

10000000% Media: when he re-treads these lies, ask about the Epstein files.

Trump's pick for Attorney General all but promised to prosecute abortion providers who ship pills across state lines, agreeing to “ensure the faithful enforcement of the Comstock Act and other federal pro-life acts." That said, I’m not convinced the Trump administration wants that kind of heat

I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.

In 2020, Trump lied before the election, lied after the election and -- when he lost in court -- incited a violent insurrection at the Capitol. Right now, he is lying and losing in court ahead of 2026. He is going to escalate and we need to be ready.

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.

Sen. Alsobrooks tells Vought "I have been waiting for the opportunity to come face to face with you" and repeatedly calls his actions "depraved" and "evil"

School vouchers -- funded with billions in taxpayer money -- have become such a financial boon to private religious schools that one Michigan company encouraged churches to tap into what it dubbed “God’s new gold mine.”

The American Red Cross has declared an emergency blood shortage. You can make a difference. With one blood donation, you could save up to 3 lives. Make an appointment: redcross.org/local/dc-va-md-de. Video transcript: A single blood donor can save up to 3 lives. Source: NIH. Redcross.org/donate.

The Beltsville Agricultural Research Center in MD develops the food safety practices that prevent food-borne illnesses like Cyclospora. Yet, this admin is trying to close BARC with a half-baked plan that threatens critical research, wastes taxpayer money, & risks more outbreaks.

Per @propublica.org reporting, FCC Chair Carr took $63k+ in gala tickets from Paramount while its billion-dollar deals sat before his agency @democracydefendersfund.org's Virginia Canter calls the alleged conflict "shocking" You can't referee a game you've been wined & dined by -TN

Balint on Hegseth's obsession with testosterone and his attacks on women in combat: "I think it is indicative of the fact that there are so many people in this administration that have some weird, intense, homoerotic, feelings towards men while also being incredibly homophobic..."

Impunity thy name is Paxton!

Ranking Member Maxine Waters (D-CA) issues a scathing opening statement about Vought's dilatory tactics. For 1.5 years, Vought refused to respond to Committee Democrats' letters, request for briefings, and repeated calls for this hearing. 2/

btw putting a bunch of soldiers on T is going to make the VA’s job quite a bit harder in a number of respects because ex-soldiers are not always great at keeping up with things like medication and going off T after you’ve been on T is quite a bit worse than never going on T

The Zorro Ranch has never been searched as part of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Now Trump is blocking efforts to investigate the property.

BREAKING: E. Jean Carroll just received Trump's $5 million — plus interest. Despite Trump's repeated attempts to block Carroll from receiving the money, $5,625,005.48 was disbursed to Carroll's legal team this week. www.ms.now/news/e-jean-...

Love this www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/7bdcedc...

Federal and state health officials are reportedly investigating whether Taco Bell restaurants played a role in one of the largest U.S. outbreaks of an illness that causes explosive diarrhea

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

The lawsuit seeks to stop the planned headquarters relocation, regional office closures, and other changes that would weaken wildfire response, scientific research, and the agency’s ability to manage America’s public lands.

Deluzio: It’s crazy stuff. We have battleground races in Pennsylvania that we are trying to flip, and now we’ve got John Fetterman helping Republicans raise money to beat Democrats. There’s no good explanation.

This is a great piece, Anne. Thanks for re-upping. The powerful become complicit with the tyrant because they want to stay powerful. The hacks who could never gain prominence in any other situation become complicit to achieve glory.

The brain drain is real, my fellow USicans. Scientists are not indentured servants. They are allowed to go where they will be appreciated and compensated. They will take their most talented trainees with them. US science will be crippled for at least two generations.

It’s revolting that “NIH and CDC director” Jay Bhattacharya continues to line his pockets for espousing a COVID19 strategy that would have killed hundreds of thousands of people, had anyone listened to him. This man doesn’t draw as much negative attention as he should, hiding behind RFK Jr.

If Jared Kushner paid €110m to buy an island in Albania that has no fresh water from a guy who did not own it, it would help explain why his negotiations with Iran on behalf of the US have not been entirely successful

They are ripping the carpet out at Mitch McConnell's house.

Pete Hegseth toured a naval vessel, got upset that sailors had beard exemptions, and launched a Pentagon-wide crackdown. Iran hostilities just resumed with no end in sight. The Secretary of War's top priority is facial hair on Black men with a documented skin condition.
