This has been a problem from the beginning. Dismantle ICE… Native Americans are U.S. citizens. Reports of ICE questioning and detaining Native Americans, including challenges to tribal IDs, should concern every American. Don’t tell me this is only about immigration status anymore.

“Palo Alto is full of well-meaning liberals — four-fifths of voters supported Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in 2024 — and it makes its outstanding public schools available to children of all colors and classes … as long as their families can afford an average home price of $3.6 million.”

Meanwhile, the actual Bovino event took place in a tent in a cornfield (since no one wanted to provide accommodations for it) and attracted less than a hundred people. Proud of my state! #HoosierSky #Indiana #AbolishICE

Congress has long underfunded worker protection agencies. The 2027 Republican budget—if enacted—would deepen the damage by slashing funding for the Department of Labor and National Labor Relations Board. These cuts would leave workers more vulnerable to exploitation.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

BTW I hope adherents to The World's Game realize that there is a serious chance that the poisonous air in the New York metropolitan area may force postponement of that little World Cup final Sunday. The AQI in NYC was 85 at sunrise. At 10 PM it's 227.

The Canadian wildfire smoke has arrived in Chicago

These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...

These photos of FNs community members fleeing their homes by boat are genuinely apocalyptic (Photo via Wayne Wastaken of Collins, Ontario, who says his “hometown is gone”) www.facebook.com/share/r/1ArN...

With how thick the smoke plume is today, it also had an impact on temperatures by reducing sunlight at the surface. Most weather models don't factor in smoke plumes - and those models were as much as 10-15 degrees too warm today where the smoke concentration was most dense.

Tomer Burg@burgwx.bsky.social · 3w ago

Parts of the Northeast US have been under a thick plume of smoke today overspreading the region from fires across south-central Canada - the worst smoke plume to affect the region since the infamous 2023 NYC smoke plume. Thread for the meteorology associated with this:

The typical voter almost never sees, and the media conveys only tiny and often sane-washed snippets, his rambling gibberish both on Truth and on camera. There is definitely something to the point that people are actually under-exposed to how constantly, manifestly batshit insane he is.

I think it should be on every TV and cable outlet and radio and broadcast on giant screens everywhere. I'm serious.

You know what? Let Vivek have Ohio. I'm sick of these Dems being so comfortable throwing trans people under the bus. They need to learn to support the right thing or get out.

1. The Democratic Party of Ohio has erupted in an intra-party firestorm as Democratic candidate for governor, Amy Acton, endorsed the sports ban and vowed to enforce it in the wake up the Title IX SCOTUS decision. It threatens to sink a close race for governor. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The only president ever impeached for voter fraud is planning a prime time address to warn the country about voter fraud. My head hurts.

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

It's been a year since the Big Ugly Bill became law — and the receipts are in. Higher costs for working families. More tax breaks for billionaires. And a whole bunch of lies. Since Trump and Republicans want to treat American lives like a reality TV show... let's roll the tape.
