BIG NEWS: A federal grand jury has AGAIN refused to indict NY AG Letitia James in the Eastern District of Virginia — this time in Alexandria. This is just a week after the DOJ tried and failed to secure a grand jury indictment in Norfolk.

Politicians in Florida and Texas just filed a lawsuit to try to ban the most common abortion medication, which has been safely and effectively used for 25 years. We will never stop fighting to protect access to health care and our right to reproductive freedom.

We're in court today challenging President Trump's illegal attempt to shut down asylum at the border. Trump can't revoke protections that Congress has created for people who are fleeing to the U.S. to seek safety. By denying people asylum, he is endangering thousands of lives.

Without the night shift, there is no morning.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

GOV. WALZ: “This is not both sides. This is owned by Republicans. Dems are willing to come back and protect what passed, not let an authoritarian president do whatever he wants… people will be lined up to get food and we’re talking about a damn ballroom? DON’T LOSE THE PLOT.”

Here's Nigel Max Edge and Thomas Jacob Sanford. Both committed mass shootings within 24 hours of one another. Two more cases of White on White crime. Is it the fatherlessness in the White community? Are they Inherently violent because of their race? Or, is it the guns? Sip it slowly. 🔥☕️

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Virginia Giuffre's family: "The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction for child sex trafficking. During DAG Todd Blanche's bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history."

85% of young men support Zohran Mamdani. 79% of young women support Zohran Mamdani. 67% of Jewish people aged 18-44 support Zohran Mamdani. 65% of Black people aged 18-44 support Zohran Mamdani. Would you have guessed *any* of that with how the media has covered all this?

Trump admits that Jeffrey Epstein “stole” young girls from him at Mar-a-Lago’s “spa” and brought them into his child sex trafficking ring. This includes Virginia Giuffre who died by suicide in April.

He really doesn’t want us to know what’s in those Epstein files about him.

In The Handmaid’s Tale, the Commanders preach purity but sneak off to brothels. It’s not fiction, it’s a mirror. The most repressed are often the most controlling. If they just let themselves enjoy life, maybe they wouldn’t burn the world trying to punish everyone else for enjoying it.

Normalize calling for the prosecution of ICE Agents.

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social: “The West doesn’t understand the extremism of Putinism…that (its) goals involve the destruction of the transatlantic alliance & maybe of the EU…The path to peace is through convincing Putin that he won’t win the war, that it’s hopeless.” (ht: @berlinbridge.bsky.social)

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated

Phang: We have to pump the brakes here—because for someone like Ghislaine Maxwell, who’s already gone to court, professed her innocence, and claimed she had nothing to do with it—what value could she possibly offer now? Let’s not be naive. Donald Trump quite literally holds the keys to her freedom

Canada's Conservatives seem to be going all-in on defending a MAGA preacher who has brought his Christian nationalism and corny-ass music to Canada. These politicians say it's about free speech. But that doesn't pass the sniff test. With the help of @katerqburns.bsky.social, let's dig in:

Things Republicans are ok with: 1. Assaulting Capitol police 2. Cheating at golf 3. Pedophilia

With Trump this morning floating the possibility of a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell - and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche meeting with her twice last week - it's apparent to anyone with a semi-working brain that the Department Of Justice cannot be trusted on this.

Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong. -Deportation=sending ppl back home, not imprisoning them in a 3rd country -The US govt is among many sources of information that *at least* many aren't in gangs -There was no margarita -Abrego Garcia isn't a human trafficker -Nor a gang member

"Political fairy smut" is a keeper

Whoa! New polling shows that a majority of voters in EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT oppose cuts to Medicaid. Members of Congress should take note. ☎️ Flood the Capitol switchboard to voice your opposition to the bill from hell. 202-224-3121. Defend Medicaid! Defeat Cancer!

They're arresting Members of Congress. Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order. Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.
