"What the fuck man?" "Fuck you, motherfucker"

Haven’t been consistently here. After deleting Twitter I vowed to stay off if not delete FB & Insta. How the heck can I cut the social media cord!!! FB has become a cesspool of divisive rhetoric and hate. Insta, I haven’t even looked. Again, I hope to become more familiar here. Ideas appreciated!

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

North Carolina moved closer Tuesday to dismantling a historically Black congressional district in a move one of its former representatives described as “blatant discrimination.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅ Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅ Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅ Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅ #Ugh🤢✅

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year. In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

AZ AG Mayes: We have people in Arizona who are being actively harmed by Mike Johnson playing politics and apparently trying to protect the Epstein files. That’s not okay. We’re going to fight as hard as we can to put an end to it and to get Adelita Grijalva sworn in.

Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"

If I were ever elected president, the first thing I’d do is take a sledgehammer to that ballroom.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Trump’s delusional if he thinks this ends with Bubba from Oklahoma landing a tech job. Tech firms will just move operations overseas to reach top-tier talent. 📌 After Trump slapped a $100K fee on new visas, several passengers bailed minutes before takeoff, afraid they couldn’t get back into the US.

Gupta: The impacts of this—H-1B visas—are going to show up once Trump is out of office. If fewer people are able to take those jobs, what happens? We’re just not going to have enough people to meet the demand for medical services.. And the irony here is it’ll probably impact red states more

I have been away from here & let fb suck me back in. I swore off and deleted twitter but still need to delete insta & fb. Fb is difficult because of the number of years & some of the connections I have made. But still every time I get on it I end up frustrated because it’s full of hate & lies.

In 2018, after one of his followers targeted several Democrats with mail bombs, Trump was asked whether this might lead to a shift in his tone. “Tone down?” he replied. “No. Could tone up.” This came to mind anew last night, as he flunked yet another leadership test. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

I didn’t post this last night because it felt so surreal. I needed to sleep on it, but I still feel the same. They’re talking about a white nationalist as if he was a saint. Flags lowered because, why?

The right is leveraging a murder to blame Dems. Jesse Watters is convincing Fox viewers the killer was a liberal. Based on what? The chyron says “assassin still on the loose” as he speaks. Trump dropped a video too, blaming the left with zero evidence. The goal is violence. And it’s coordinated.

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together. With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection. If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

"At 4:22am on Friday, as Texas' Hill Country began to flood, a firefighter in Ingram – just upstream from Kerrville – asked the Kerr County Sheriff's Office to alert nearby residents. But Kerr County officials took nearly six hours to heed this call."

Yes, incredible. 🙄

Piers Morgan calls out Alina Habba for hyping ‘incredibly disturbing’ Epstein files that never materialized

I think we all know why they are saying there’s no list now. Guess who’s all over it and in lots of pictures and videos?

Low-income green card holders still within the mandatory five-year waiting period for Medicaid would be among those most affected.

Israeli plan for forced transfer of Gaza’s population ‘a blueprint for crimes against humanity’

here's today's post: "Donny on the Texas tragedy: why are you bothering me about it?" — what part of ‘nothing is ever my fault’ do you need explained? thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

During last year’s election, Trump said he would have “no problem” releasing more files related to Epstein if he returned to the White House

"The U.S. media must draw a line in the sand: Surrender no more."

The Trump administration’s 90-day pause on tariffs that Trump rolled out in April is set to lift Wednesday, though White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said an upcoming executive order would delay that date to Aug. 1.

President Trump announced 25% tariffs on goods from South Korea and Japan, effective Aug. 1.

How sad.

Trump said the tariff rates could still be changed “depending on our relationship with your Country.”

NEW: After SCOTUS’ decision to limit nationwide injunctions, the DOJ asked to modify an existing court order blocking the proof of citizenship requirement in Trump’s anti-voting order, requesting that the block apply only to the 19 Democratic states involved in the lawsuit.

Trump’s ICE isn’t targeting violent criminals. 🔹 65% no criminal record 🔹 25% nonviolent offenses 🔹 Just 10% convicted of violent crimes It’s a campaign of fear, ripping workers, street vendors, and moms away from families while claiming it’s about public safety. A lie. And cruelty by design.

Why is this not surprising.

President Trump’s Justice Department always, positively, unquestionably, and without fail does the right and just and honorable things for the most correct and principled reasons, so I totally and absolutely believe this without even the slightest question or doubt

Q: Was there any discussion to evacuate before it was too late? RICE: What we don't want to do is cry wolf

HAPPENING NOW: Greetings from the federal courthouse in Greenbelt, Maryland, where Judge Paula Xinis is set to hold a motions hearing in Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s civil case against the Trump administration over his wrongful removal to El Salvador. I’m here for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow along 🧵⬇️

Whoa! Alligator Alcatraz is going to be complete by Tuesday and open for operation on Wednesday. Am I the only one wondering how Ron DeSantis got this together so fast? Floridians, make sure you remember this the next time a hurricane hits and you can’t get disaster relief in your state.

While Trump wastes millions on a military parade in DC, we're mobilizing everywhere else to show that organized people power is stronger than his authoritarian aspirations. app.sosha.ai/s/Bb4I6dPT

WATCH: “Here’s the big scary LA protest — look: you don’t see the cops or the National guard here… are there any fires or chemical smoke? Wonder why that is.” The people are peaceful. Law enforcement is doing the escalating. Intentionally. This has always been Trump’s plan.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has revoked Harvard University’s certification to host international students. However, the university has 72 hours to meet six specific conditions to retain its ability to admit F-1 and J-1 visa holders. What are those? www.thehindu.com/news/interna...

If the Trump administration succeeds in blocking Harvard from enrolling international students, the hardest-hit group would be students from China, who make up the school’s biggest share of current students from overseas.

Good men are harder than ever to find. Which is good news for the good men who are actually out there.

Will the women on The View be toning down their political discussions?

Exactly the fraud is in the providers. Rick Scott is an expert on this! A little diff but still. How is it that some of the crooks with shady dealings are affiliated with the sunshine state.

I need to know how even still my family/friends can’t see the damage being done by this administration. People I have loved for many years still believe in all this mess! I go from hate, anger & hurt back to caring. How can they be ok with this? Are they just like him? Or are they in denial still?
