Parnas: I've spoken to numerous military families... Our service members abroad are having moldy showers, are not getting detergent, not getting soap. Some haven't had a fresh meal in months. Prisoners in America get better meal rations than these troops are getting right now in the Middle East.
I'm still watching and waiting for the Supreme Court to decide DOJ's emergency motion to allow Trump to commandeer the U.S. Postal Service into service for his voter suppression scheme. Sign-up for Democracy Docket to stay informed! demdock.com/4w6emld
Thank you all for the support & love. I’m in awe of your fierce defense of democracy. I’m sorry for the inconvenience with the dial-in. There are so many of you who care about truth & transparency you broke the system. And that’s what we need: break it down to build something better than before. 🔥
DOJ lawyer Andrew Block, who was just added to the Phang Epstein case *yesterday*, erred when he told the court there were no handwritten notes released.
DOJ’s statement isn’t true. FBI 302 reports and corresponding handwritten notes were produced in the Epstein files. Below is one example. So why did DOJ produce handwritten notes for certain 302s and not others - like the victim who made accusations against Trump?
It’s amazing how many political argument still used today originated with The West Wing.
In this iconic scene from The West Wing, the argument isn't simply about religion, it's about selective morality. Who decides which biblical laws are still moral — and which ones we leave behind? Any fans of the show? I am starting to appreciate this show more now than ever.
Thomson Reuters, which owns news agency Reuters, has signed a $125M deal giving ICE access to its databases of personal data. USA Today has partnered with Palantir to gain "actionable intelligence" on its audiences. The media should be opponents of Trump's police state — not collaborators.
Russia killed or injured more civilians in Ukraine in July 2026 than in any month since March 2022. We need air defense, it is not a whim. We need it to save lives.
Two police officers in San Francisco used excessive force when they arrested a man they believed to be a car thief in 2024, a city agency said. They had the wrong person, but prosecutors still sought to convict the man of resisting arrest, until he was found dead in an apparent suicide.
After a Typo, Officers Used Excessive Force in an Arrest, a Report Finds
Officers with the San Francisco Police Department thought they had caught a car thief. Instead, they had mistyped his license plate number, a watchdog agency said.

The Navy is lying about the conditions on board the USS Abraham Lincoln as well as the suicide attempts, Kegseth needs to go, the firing of all top brass who took their jobs seriously and had professional integrity is the reason for this abuse now by this admin, this is a volunteer force, shameful🤬
🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: MIT engineers develop a breath test that detects pneumonia in minutes no X-rays, no lab wait. Just a single breath Two MIT engineers, Loza Tadesse and Aditya Garg, have developed a breath test that can detect pneumonia in minutes.
When was the last time you sat down with someone who sees the world differently than you do? In our new @inequalitymedia.bsky.social film, THE WORK IN PROGRESS, we asked 100 strangers across America to do just that. Watch the trailer now and let me know what you think.
🇺🇦🇺🇸❄️ Zelensky: "If the US sells us 5% of Patriot interceptors, we will survive the winter and save people's lives. If they can sell us 10%, we will destroy all of Russia's ballistic missiles. I have 1%."
I'm going to KEEP talking about how Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress, DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚
Trump just dismantled this so his blatant corruption and his cronies overseas can operate without consequences or detection. Organized crime is now legal and the US is open for exploitation by foreign and domestic criminals. Don’t expect Rubio to say a word.
