#spacesky #NASA #RosCosmos The RosCosmos building in Korolov, Moscow has been struck by a Ukrainian missile. The building is burning around 100 meters from the ISS control facility. If the control room cannot be used, Russia must abandon the ISS. Without RU, the ISS cannot function.
Trump has to be the most loathed person on the planet. Elon must be running a close second.
🚨 HAPPENING NOW 🚨 Women's Marchers have been arrested in the Capitol for standing vigil for the people killed by ICE. #AbolishICE llustrations by @channeldraw
In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.
Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
Abdul El Sayed talkin bout being outspent 11:1 but lookin like his supporters got a win regardless. It’s a nice twist on “get the money out of politics” to instead be like “we can defeat the money”
Isn't it time even MAGA caught on to the fact that whenever a Republican doesn't get the results they want at the ballot box, they cry that the election was rigged?
Aaron Parnas @aaronparnas.bsky.social American families are sounding the alarm right now.

August 4th has come and gone, and we still don’t have McConnell’s death certificate? What’s the delay now?
How come Mitch McConnell is still getting paid to be a senator, but Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and Ted Kennedy are not?
El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
Haley Stevens is a class act in a new statement endorsing Abdul post-primary
Everyone’s expectations got skewed over the past week but Abdul El-Sayed getting $70 million spent against him in a state he lost a primary by like 20 points eight years ago and still winning last night is probably the most impressive electoral accomplishment of the decade.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Abdul El-Sayed wins Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Michigan.
I actually cared about our constitution, our civil rights, our freedoms. We are seeing all three extinguished.
This is just as painful to watch now as it was being there in person 😭
This man is 100% correct, and absolutely knows what he is talking about.
Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com · 21h ago🗣️ Say it louder for the people in the back: We need to give up on nostalgia for the past. Donald Trump has decimated the government in some profound, irreversible ways. The only way forward? Building something newer and better, Marc Elias says. Watch below👇 https://demdock.com/4w4O9mk
Being Ukrainian and learning Elon Musk’ rocket is about to crash (?!) into Moon (??!!) (and it’s ‘okay’ ), right after Russian missiles just bombed my city , feels.. triggering
