The next generation deserves living forests, not stories about them.

RESPECT Every politician should be doing this. Mayor Coffman has spent every Friday night since February sleeping at Aurora, Colorado’s homeless center, serving breakfast in the morning, and learning firsthand what works and what doesn’t.

Listen, if you don’t know the difference between Democratic socialism and communism, I’m not engaging with you. Crack a book.

Texans, vote for Gina Hinojosa! She hangs out with Willie, she doesn't want to kill pregnant women and force feed Christian sharia law down your throats. It's time to push Greg right on out of the governor's mansion in Austin.

There is no need for fireworks now with drone shows. No need for pets and vets to cower and for wild life to suffer as well as the pollution and noise. I said what I said.

Congratulations to the newlyweds! I declined to attend the wedding for a variety of personal reasons, but mainly because I wasn't invited. 💒

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce jointly donated $26 million to over 20 charities.

He’s not even in office anymore and he’s still more presidential than the man who is.

😏 One day, like a ✨ miracle ✨ he’ll ( #tRUmp 🤡) be gone. 💀 🥳 🎉

The country…250 years. Trump….80 years. One of the two will be around a long time after the other is gone.

Happy Fourth of July, New York City

-Notice News 1/ "YES: Mamdani's administration just funded New York City's first-ever pet food pantry program.

NEW: Todd Blanche claims the DOJ won’t produce additional docs or unredact them b/c the original redactions & withholdings were appropriate & he wants to protect the privacy of victims…despite already repeatedly violating that privacy. My reply to his asinine arguments: youtu.be/f0GaVdXLrfM?...

Jack Smith is not afraid of speaking out against Trump. NO US Citizen should be. Can it be a risk? Sure. But, f*ck...just being alive is a risk. F*ck Trump.

"You shouldn't let your dog sleep with you." I'd let that MFer represent me in court.

Something cheerful to end the day. Our bluebird male, Doug, checks out the nest that he and Carrie built. It’s their second nest this season. They have 5 fledglings that they are still feeding. I’ll post a picture of the nest in the comments. We have a nest cam so no disturbing the birds. 💙

If the Bible is going to be taught in school then science needs to be taught in church.

In an unprecedented act of dissent, active-duty USAF Major Jason Watson was arrested on the Capitol steps after calling for the impeachment & removal of Donald Trump. Risking his career to uphold his constitutional oath, his arrest marks a historic moment. ✊🏻✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾✊🏽

THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED FOR UNDER FASCISM — BRAVERY Before the attacks & the hot takes start, a few facts: Major Jason Watson is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, a career logistics officer, a NATO officer, and a decorated veteran who volunteered for a 365-day tour in Afghanistan… 🧵

Todd Blanche's deadline to put up or shut up is tomorrow. It's true! @katiephang.bsky.social is a bad ass. Setting precedent and taking names. Check out our conversation about her case here. Never any paywalls. Ever. www.muellershewrote.com/p/a-major-wi...

A foreign monarchy handed the President a $400 MILLION jet. Wednesday, it becomes Air Force One. Friday, it leads the July 4th flyover for America's 250th birthday. A gift from Qatar. Flying the President. On Independence Day. Let that one sink in, friend.

I'm so sick of these MAGAts!

Men all deep in their feels 'cuz Supergirl's strength isn't realistic, but they have no problems with Superman's strength. It's a mystery I tell you.

Ain’t it!

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

Mitch McConnell should resign Immediately…..

Attention, attention! This is how we save The Great American State Fair. I present: Butter Mamdani!

Music is not a luxury here. It is proof that we are still alive. Two young women. Two banduras. One bench in a Ukrainian city. They played. People stopped. No one said a word. hfu.org

Every time I watch PBS Newshour, I’m swiftly reminded of what an actual news broadcast should be.

youtube.com/shorts/IWcC4... #USD #PB I love the look on Ken Paxton’s face when realizes he is busted traveling to Iceland with a girlfriend. This will be played on a loop here in Texas Texans want to know why Paxton is spending July 4 in Iceland instead of Texas. Does Ken Paxton hate freedom?

Just a titch.

Been reading On Courage. It should be required reading for Dems: “This basic arithmetic problem means sometimes living with contradictions, even embracing them.” Politics isn’t about finding people who agree w/you on everything. It’s finding enough people to push the jeep out of the mud together.

"Trump is not a strong man on his own. He's only a strong man to the extent that he has these kinds of enablers around him"—both in the WH & in Congress... and SCOTUS too. Heilemann predicts that "when history writes about this," it will be more about all the [GOP] enablers than Trump himself.
