Baltimore family pleas for safe return of stolen dog

There's nothing third about their way. This organization was about keeping the opposition docile and controlled. Now that their influence is waning -- due, in part, to the dems' inability to beat a party of child sex traffickers -- they're ripping off their masks and showing their true ideology.

Third Way has gone full reactionary. Maybe it should spend those millions listening to what voters want instead of trying to re-educate voters on the evils of affordability and those who campaign on making their lives better. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/u...

Is there any precedence for this nonsense?

Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

600,000 male mosquitos are being released into the D.C. region this summer as part of an effort to control their population. Male mosquitoes do not bite humans or animals. They are infected with a bacteria that makes females infertile after mating.

BREAKING: In a loss for voters, the D.C. Circuit affirmed a lower court ruling upholding parts of Trump's executive order targeting mail voting, including allowing: ✔️DHS to build a citizenship registry ✔️USPS to withhold mail ballots from states that don't share voter data with the government

We must defeat this ogre.

For Democrats and Progressives concerned about the increasingly undemocratic leanings of the DNC, I hope you'll check this out. fairvoteaction.org/the-democrat... - You'll see there's a petition you can sign. Please sign it and get in touch with the DNC members from your state.

Glenn Ivey, the congressman who represents Hyattsville, spoke as well at the vigil. He was awful. His tone was all wrong. He spoke as if at a campaign rally, focusing on voting and the election and while that is important, he seems to have forgotten he was at a vigil to honor those murdered by ICE.

Mitch McConnell’s aides have provided an “update” about his health that includes no photo or video evidence of the Republican senator himself.

A dark money campaign is offering influencers $1,500 per post to attack Abdul El-Sayed and support Haley Stevens. Same exact dollar figure that was paid to attack @katmabu.bsky.social (Nobody ever found out who was paying for that campaign.) Gross, lazy and above all cynical shit.

Rep. Haley Stevens and the Senate Democratic PAC said they were not involved in the effort to pay for user-generated content endorsing her.

like, even if you are ideologically aligned with Clyburn somewhat, why bother with SC when you can register early Black support without having to spend a month or two genuflecting before an 87-year-old narcissist?

DraftKings contributed to the $130k+ in outside spending in District 22 in support of my primary opponents. I think voters should start to question what may have been promised in return for their unprecedented spending across Maryland— largely in support of Senate leadership and allied candidates.

I just checked the number of petition signers to get ICE out of Metro 1 and was pleased to see the total has reached 169. But quite frankly, we’ve gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers. Sign the petition today to get ICE to stop terrorizing the local Hyattsville community!

holy shit, what a fucking find. That's unbelievable. selling out thousands of americans' health for a measly million dollars is wild. I wonder how much they saved. This is fucking insane. Like if this isn't on the news everywhere tomorrow I don't know what to think

The trend over the last few years that I don’t remember at any other time in my lifetime of having to stay inside for more of the summer than ever before because of either extreme heat or air quality emergencies is indeed new and disruptive, not just an escalation of an existing thing.

I have no time for cosplaying politics that preys on the faith of members of our community. The public sentiment is clear: no data centers in Prince George’s County!

Maryland residents got a pro-data center text linked to an ‘interfaith’ website. Who’s behind it?

You know that "farmer" in a modern context means "farm owner", right? As in "landed gentry", not someone who actually does farm work. Farmers are frequently the rich family in the area who own everything that everyone else works for but also receives eye-watering levels of federal support.

Yet another Kalshi offering that serves no legitimate economic purpose. It's not possible to make a rational bet on this without material non-public information. It's a market solely for fraud by both regulators and corporate insiders, and everyone connected to it in any way should go to prison.
