I don’t understand why anyone’s debating this — a Nazi tattoo is a non starter, full stop. This is a race for a U.S. Senate seat. The bar for candidates to clear doesn’t have to be insanely high, but it should at least be off the ground

Both the U.S. marshal and the immigrant were shot by federal officers. You’d never know that from this headline.

NEW — I'm suing DC Metro Police for the full body cam footage from the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace back in March. The public deserves to know why MPD chose to sell out the people they’re tasked with protecting in order to bend to Trump's will. I'm repped pro bono by @rcfp.org. Details:

sleuthing...

No Kings protests were one of the few times Trump, MAGA, and right-wing media were reacting to something the opposition did, rather than the opposition reacting to whatever they do. Adopt a principle from war strategy: generally better to be taking action and forcing opponents to react. Good point.

Seeing a lot of “not like that” or “that didn’t accomplish anything” about the No Kings protests from some online leftists. No wonder no one wants to join the cause. Jfc use the momentum instead!

why the hell are they confirming trump's judges when trump's speaker of the house won't swear in Grijalva?

He is literally not paying for it. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

This feels like a variant on the Vimes Boot Theory of Economics: stealing a $2 candy bar could get you criminally charged, but stealing $23K of event services will get you months of payment requests and eventual dismissal of your debt: www.syracuse.com/politics/cny...

Back in 2018 I actually met with some Ohio Dem people because I was curious about the feasibility for running for office. I was basically told "if you can't show us that you have people prepared to write you checks for $1 million right now, we're not interested in you." So that was fun.

i keep thinking this must be an elaborate cover for destroying a crime scene.

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

Dismissing Concerns of US Farmers, Trump Claims Argentina 'Dying' to Justify $40 Billion Bailout | "If you're the President of Argentina, Trump gives you a $20 billion bailout. If you're an American whose health care premiums are about to double? Tough luck."​

The official voice of the US government is cruel, gross, and weird. What is that doing to us?

“We felt that there was a need for this organization because we didn’t see anywhere to go where someone could understand and could feel our pain with the loss of our children”

New from @francescadnunz.bsky.social: It was two days before his 50th birthday and he already had plans to celebrate with his wife, a U.S. citizen. Instead, ICE placed him in a detention center he once protested against.

NEW: The FTC is removing blog posts, authored by Lina Khan, including some that articulate the potential risks that commercial AI tools pose to consumers.

Israel kills dozens of Palestinians, many are civilians. US Media: Hamas kills two Israeli soldiers. US Media: Hamas has broken the ceasefire! US Media is astoundingly racist. They see Palestinian lives as worthless, and no amount of slaughter by Israel is considered breaking the ceasefire.

The scale of the homelessness crisis among the youngest New Yorkers is staggering. We have to tackle it head on. In addition to building significantly more affordable housing and bringing down the cost of living, I'll double funding for "Every Child and Family Is Known."

Keep it up lol

Happening now: Here’s a view of the “No Kings” protest in Washington, DC

CNN talking about the possibility of violence as a guy in a giraffe costume waddles by

My daughter the One Piece fan drew this poster for her No Kings rally today

Greetings from the Ypsilanti No Kings March!

When the Nazi group chat ruins your talking points

never forget

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

“Young adults aren’t having enough kids” bro I’m employed full-time with a damn PhD and I’m struggling to afford both groceries and rent. I love kids but I can barely afford my pets. Want us to have kids? Try UBI, rent control, universal healthcare, cheaper child care.

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys. "I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man." It's a must-read:

I'd seen the reporting around Keira Knightley's awful response but wow the video makes it... even worse??? It's so dismissive and callous and that horrible little laugh??? like what the hell?? And the smarmy, "I'm very sorry" in the least apologetic tone I've ever heard in my life. Jfc.

digital media is dying not because it’s a bad way to cover the news or people don’t care about the news but because the people who now own these sites are increasingly 1) uninterested in covering the news as opposed to turning a profit 2) ignorant of what covering the news requires

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the most important redistricting and voting rights case of the term. Democracy Docket isn't just covering it for the day. It has been covering this case for years. Support its vital work to help keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to. Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

“Swear her in! Swear her in!” #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat. But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

Yeah, that is a tear gas canister being fired toward the retreating couple holding the baby

"This shows that if Israel, with the whole world watching, can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, just imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors."

“A clarinet player was arrested after playing her instrument to the tune of the ‘Ghostbusters’ theme song outside of a Portland ICE facility…”

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

I know the whole “every accusation is a confession” thing but it’s pretty clear this is the most elitist government that’s existed in decades. It’s just 12 billionaires in a group chat sharing banned Reddit memes

It's somehow both wildly underreported and just out in the open that the vice president is either a neo-Nazi or, at a bare minimum, a neo-Nazi fellow traveler.

these people know how extreme they are

Trump says a lot of weird and concerning stuff that people just kind of shrug at but right now I’m stuck on how he keeps insisting he’s going to hell

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown. “We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

That’s right! Thanks, Fox News! www.foxnews.com/politics/squ...
