The Trump administration is now refusing payouts for US soldiers who died in the US-Israeli war against Iran "because it isn't a war." Libby Klinner, widow of 33-year-old Maj Alex Klinner, says the US Air Force deemed her ineligible for additional benefits following her husband's death because
Edward Wong@ewong.bsky.social · 3w agoNEW: Nate Hochman was fired from the DeSantis campaign in 2023 after promoting a video with the Sonnenrad, a Nazi symbol embraced by white supremacists.

Meanwhile, in Hungary, Magyar’s government is aggressively dismantling and purging everything left of Orban's government. There is no power-sharing or negotiations because Magyar recognizes Orban's party for what it is, illegitimate! MAGA is illegitimate in a democracy.
Organizing everywhere isn’t a slogan — it’s the work that’s required to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority.
If we haven't been reminding you enough, vote because your life depends upon it.
I saw the picture before reading the headline and I legit thought this was Washington DC. This is where we are.
Watch it till the end. This is moral clarity -- TMZ understands the moment, and what that Rand Paul kangaroo court was, better than any coverage I've seen so far. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zaO...

Republicans just approved a budget blueprint that does far more than fund the war with Iran. Buried inside the $95 billion package is $10 billion to implement new nationwide voting restrictions demanded by Trump.
It's bad enough when men protect other men from their worst crimes against women, but when a woman does it? Traitor!!!! Maine, she does not deserve your vote. Vote her out!

Troy Jackson is the presumptive Democratic nominee for the US Senate race in Maine, one which probably has attracted more attention than any other on this platform. So give him a follow. I have 6x his followers right now, which is ridiculous. (You've seen my puns.) Within 24h, he better eclipse me.
Troy Jackson@troyjackson207.bsky.social · 2mo agoIn November, Mainers will defeat Susan Collins, and we will take back our Senate seat from the billionaires and corporations who think they own it.
Don't you find it quite ironic that you are posting this on the internet? A technology started by government? Even inventions made by private organizations where supported by government. Vaccines come to mind. This post is seriously such a simple minded take.
We will be ready. We have systems to protect the vote and lawyers to defend those systems. The important thing right now is for the public to see and understand what this lawless and increasingly unhinged president is trying to do.
A GOP senator died. No, not that one. Also a state party will have to replace Graham as its candidate. No, not that one.

Some late Friday news: Portland's city hearings office has upheld the land use violation issued against the owner of Portland’s ICE building. That means the city can begin issuing fines against the owners. More soon.
