Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

New Mexico is suing the DOJ and Todd Blanche saying they blocked its Epstein probe at a ranch there. The lawsuit seeks judicial intervention to force the federal government to turn over relevant materials. I’d like commentary from anyone who voted to confirm Blanche
Russia just used a cluster bomb in Kyiv Cluster bombs used against civilians is a war crime This has to end Putin has to be “put away” People can only take so much and there is absolutely no reason for this other than Russia are blood thirsty criminals
An alleged pedophile promoting a book by another alleged pedophile is a professional courtesy.
Republican political theory: everyone to the left of hunting the poor for sport is a communist.
Donald Trump is the most reckless spender of taxpayer money in US history. 29% of the total national debt accumulated over 250 years occurred during his 5.5 years in power. He is the complete opposite of a fiscal conservative
My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Murderous heat, an endangered food supply, decimated landscapes: embrace the Mediterranean life | George Monbiot
As climate disaster stares us in the face, the radical right says ‘Embrace the Mediterranean life’. Embrace death, more like it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Global warming is real and we need to fight it. But climate data is starting to look like NBA stats: combine enough variables and there’s always a new “record” or “first ever.” Data matters. Not every possible combination of data does. Fear-driven statistics don’t bring solutions.
BP's quarterly profits more than doubled to £4.2 billion in the three months to the end of June. These are the profits of war and climate chaos. It's time to make the biggest polluters pay.
Austria has set a new all time temperature record of 41.0°C today. 9 separate weather stations recorded >40°C as heatwaves & record temperatures continue to impact the Northern Hemisphere.
Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
The state of this. A lovely day out for Badenoch and Philp, playing dress up and making pronouncements about early release schemes - having left the country with one hundred available men's prison places, after fourteen years in charge. You read that right. One hundred places.

Okay! So hello. My name is Allison Gill. For the last 9 years, you’ve known me as Mueller, She Wrote. I used to have to be anonymous. But not anymore. So, hello world!
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 2d agoChanged my name from Mueller, She Wrote to my actual name, Allison Gill. Hoping I can get my blue check back. @joshpetri.bsky.team can you help?
The hilarious thing about this slam on Jeanine Pirro is that Donald Trump *quite famously* doesn’t know how to fold an umbrella.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 2d agoTrump: I am very disappointed with Jeanine Pirro. She folded like an umbrella.
The next time a climate change denier comes at you with that excuse:
BREAKING: The newly elected Prime Minister of Hungary announced that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary.
EUROPEAN HEAT WAVE -HISTORIC WEEK day #1 Hundreds of records have fallen allover Europe in the first of a historic week which will rewrite anew European climatic history From France To The Balkans throughout Central Europe ,records are falling EVERYWHERE I ll start posting soon
Earth is now warming faster than at any point in recorded geological history - around 10 times faster than the extreme warming event 56 million years ago and 20 times faster than at the end of the last ice age. We are almost certainly in a new extinction event.
FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
Unelected nobody Zia (Muhammad Ziauddin) Yusuf of Reform says Britain is being invaded by foreigners and wants to use huge Navy Warships to round up teeny weeny inflatable boats which is like using a tank to catch a rabbit 🙄 Fun fact - Yusuf’s parents migrated to the UK from Sri Lank in 1980’s..
The gaslighting is off the charts with this one. Every word is a lie. His actual approval rating is the second worst in modern presidential history, behind only Nixon’s 24% just before he resigned.
