In this studio visit, Mark Bradford takes us inside what it means to create a monumental painting that scales the three-story west wall of the Our Story Atrium in the Museum at the Obama Presidential Center.

What if, instead of supporting shitty men (we’ve seen how that turned out), we supported a fantastic woman instead?

NEWS: NATO just picked Sweden's Saab over Boeing for its new $4.5B early warning fleet — and the snub landed the same day Trump touched down in Türkiye for the NATO summit. Awkward.

Two old guys who should be in elder care homes.

*angrily, bitterly*: "you can't even be a rapist anymore, because of woke"

As DOGE’s charter expires, it’s worth recognizing what this endeavor was at its core: a failed experiment. DOGE’s goals went unmet. Its promises went unfulfilled. It envisioned one set of results but delivered the opposite. Good riddance. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Unlawfully threatening our allies better show up in the Articles of Impeachment.

RFK Jr. seemed confident that the ACA (Obamacare) was unpopular. According to both KFF and Gallup most Americans like the program.

Trump confirms he asked Infantino for review of Folarin Balogun red card

Trump fucks up the economy with his tariffs, raises gas prices for every American with his foolish war, piles on to the national debt with his budget & wasteful spending on vanity projects, covers up Epstein, makes billions for himself, then starts yelling about communism to distract.

The entire city is on edge right now. It’s 96 degrees, we’re interrupted every 5 min by the sound of low-flying fighter jets, and the president has managed to ruin July 4th. Quietly muttering to myself: “just wait until IT happens. Everyone will be so happy when IT happens. It’ll be incredible…”

I can’t help but notice that we are not talking about the Epstein files, the ballroom bunker, reflecting pool, ICE and Iran anymore. The outrage over the attacks against civilian targets in Ukraine is muted. The current shiny object is the chopping down cherry trees to make a golf course.

Wow. Finally they admit that Trump's war is a complete and total disaster for U.S. farmers and the families they feed.

See that skyrocketing blue line? That’s the number of times that SCOTUS has been issuing unsigned, unexplained rulings.

Absolutely, I am originally from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the way Miller and the rest of MAGA talks about (non-white) immigrants is very much how those who waged war in my country talked about the other ethnic groups.

Convicted Felon Donald Trump, in just his first year back in the Oval Office, raked in more than $2.2 BILLION, while everyday Americans suffer. I've got the details of Trump’s financial disclosure, including how much he made off of settlements from his bullshit lawsuits. youtu.be/8TWBbqMCbDE?...

The reason Obama used water from the river for the reflecting pool and not city water is because city water is treated with orthophosphates, which is food for algae, causing massive blooms that produce cyanotoxins that kill wildlife.

I haven't been this impressed with a candidate in a l-o-n-g time. If @jamestalarico.bsky.social is the future of the Democratic Party, we are in VERY good shape.

Clearest proof we've seen that he thinks refugees claiming political asylum were refugees from an actual insane asylum. The leader of the United States is dumber than dirt but there's an entire cult enabling him and a corporate media too cowardly to call them out.

Two pages. The same story. SNAP cuts: American children are losing food assistance and going hungry. USAID gutted: Children overseas are dying after humanitarian aid was cut. History won’t remember the excuses. It’ll remember who let children suffer. #RepublicansStarveChildren

We have a new message for Democrats: attack attack attack. Trump is corrupt, he’s butchered the economy, and his DOJ operates like mob lawyers. And every voter knows it. So stop looking backward. Stop with the endless focus groups. This isn't complicated. He’s weak. Finish him.

FYI: JUST the act of lifting sanctions nets Iran about $5B PER MONTH. That's in addition to the $24B in unfrozen assets, and the $300B that will probably be managed by Kushner's hedge fund for a fee.

As it should be. Government agencies should post information on their websites.

Trump is claiming there is no $300 Billion Dollar payment to Iran by the U.S… These are his handwritten initials. He should read his own memo of understanding.

Paul Krugman is right: there is nothing “inevitable” about Social Security cuts. The crisis is political, not mathematical. Corrupt Republicans took new revenue off the table so they can force benefit cuts onto workers. Don’t swallow the gaslighting. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos sought to ingratiate themselves with President Donald Trump after he won the 2024 election, and in return he mocked their efforts behind their backs, according to a new book.

And I’m sure Mitch McConnell is getting the best healthcare money can buy while so many Americans don’t have access. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Such a truthful representation of today’s events at the White House 😡🤬

With rising grocery prices, many Americans are struggling to provide healthy, complete meals for their families. One chef is teaching his TikTok followers how to eat well on a budget, one $5 meal at a time. https://to.pbs.org/4uVSR6d

Trump is starting to lose something very important to him — and I’m not just talking about his mind. Watch.

"All this effort on the part of DHS to keep people from seeing into the facilities, and to keep those trapped inside from describing what is happening there, suggests that ICE feels that they have something to hide," writes @moiradonegan.bsky.social.

WOW.

Just completed a congressional oversight visit with members of the New Jersey delegation. Delaney Hall should be shut down. This is not America.

But this is Donald Trump’s warped version of America Where people-even children-with Black or Brown skin are locked up and treated worse than criminals in a Russian gulag We can end this. We can stop Trump. We can get back to pursuing the ideals of America. We can Shut Down Delaney Hall

The dude has literally told us twice that he doesn’t give a damn, and the Times still writes it as “critics say.” Some say the NY Times is broken.

In history class, I never understood how “advanced” civilizations could collapse. It just didn’t seem plausible. Anyway, I’ve seen enough. I get it now.

Incredible community note.
