Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
Happy Birthday President Obama! You reminded the world that true leadership is built on dignity, compassion & respect. Not ego! Your legacy continues to inspire millions! In my view, you are the greatest president in American history! #HappyBirthdayObama #PresidentObama #ViVaHerAlliance #SheShed
Gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. Until we end that, it will remain difficult to achieve the things most Americans already agree on.
Ken Paxton hasn’t debated in over a decade. I wonder why. Maybe it’s because he’d have to explain how his corruption crisis became Texas’ affordability crisis. James Talarico is ready. Paxton is still hiding. Debate him. Or keep running.

"I challenge anyone to defend it: a war built on lies told by a White House utterly absent figures of integrity to dissuade the president from his delusions" -- Jon Ossoff's entire address today at the Barean Christian Church is worth watching

Americans don’t need more culture wars! They need affordable housing, fair wages, quality healthcare & a government that works for people instead of big donors. The only minority destroying America is the billionaires! Priorities matter! #SheShed
Got the chance to see these talented players in action today! It was great having the @wnba.com at Home Court at the Obama Presidential Center for All-Star Weekend. 🏀
Fox News insists racism doesn't exist, unless a Black actor plays a white character
Army Pvt. Isabella Gonzales was killed by an Iranian strike in Jordan — she was just 19 years old. Our gratitude for her service should not be mistaken for acceptance of her death. We should not be sending our brave men and women like Isabella to die in another forever war.
So much for “America First.” We were promised no new wars. Now we’re told America can only afford war while families struggle to pay for groceries, healthcare, housing & education. Broken promises. Misplaced priorities. Americans deserve better! #KeepYourPromises #ViVaHerAlliance #SheShed
Holy shit! Sen. Peters had enough of Hegseth’s bullshit. Imagine asking taxpayers for billions more during an “utter and complete failure” of a war. When Hegseth couldn’t defend it, he acted like criticizing the strategy was insulting the troops. Peters called him out.
Crockett: "Welcome to the Republicans' white pride rally disguised as a congressional hearing"
Notice how all the actual experts (including the pilot and his boss) understand how dangerous this Blue Angels mistake was? Elite professionals put ego aside and relentlessly pursue perfection. Meanwhile, the partisans on Twitter tell you accountability is weakness. 🙄
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 3w agoCommander of Blue Angels is asked about the flyover incident yesterday. He described it as “an unsafe situation” and “we will have a heavy review of what happened yesterday to ensure we don’t put ourselves in unsafe situations again.”
Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.
♥️ more women politicians ♥️ abir al~sahlani is 🔥🔥‼️🔥🔥
Ossoff: "We understand the president may be threatening to declare sitting senators illegitimate. If that's the course of action he pursues, he's calling GA voters illegitimate...he was humiliated as a committed lifelong racist that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat"
"President Trump has paid the writer E. Jean Carroll $5.6 million that was owed to her as a result of a jury’s finding that he was liable for sexually assaulting her in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s and then defaming her." www.nytimes.com/2026/07/14/n...
E. Jean Carroll Receives $5.6 Million Payment From Trump in Civil Case
A federal jury found President Trump liable for sexually assaulting and defaming Ms. Carroll. He exhausted his appeals last month, prompting a judge to order that the money be paid.

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate? Dahl: Yes. Murray: And what is the rate for someone making $1,000,000? Dahl: 2.2%.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.
The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.
This should horrify all of us! Women in ICE detention underwent invasive medical procedures without informed consent. Senator Jon Ossoff’s bipartisan investigation called the findings “nightmarish & disgraceful” Everyone deserves dignity, bodily autonomy & human rights! #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance
