GOP Rep. Randy Fine was just caught red-handed on a Ring cam rifling through a resident's mailbox while canvassing. Tampering with mail is a literal federal crime. This creepy MAGA hack belongs in a cell, not in Congress. Open an immediate federal investigation and lock him up.🤦🏾♂️
Why isn't anyone here talking about how Randy fine got caught going through someone's mail on a ring doorbell camera
Fox News attempted to scare its audience about Medicare for All. They left out quite a bit. Employers spend over nearly $27,000 for a family plan for each worker. CEO of health insurance companies make $15-$45 million. Pharmacy benefit management companies make billions in profit
James Talarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves. And it worked.
Angry. Angry at the needless losses to science, to America, to the world. Angry at the profound, arrogant ignorance. Angry at the individual pain and losses. Angry at the absolute enormity of the human cost, not just in future losses, but immediate deaths and suffering.
Nicole Rust@nicolecrust.bsky.social · 2w agoUS scientists: Going into fall 26, how are you thinking about things? Following Fall 24 events and a tumultuous spring 25, I remember a convo with a colleague in which we agreed we just needed to wait things out until fall 25 and we'd have some clarity about the landscape (eg for funding). /1
Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

there are definitely downsides to the nuclear block but the reason I keep coming back to it as necessary and good is that it completely ruined the whole MAGA engagement model to the point that they prefer to mock us from the nazi bar rather than come here to troll us directly
John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 3w agoBluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit
Tillis and Cornyn’s acceptance of a loophole-filled deal with Trump and Blanche reminds us that every prominent Republican politician who has stuck with Trump over the last decade is a traitor.
Republicans Let Trump Keep Unparalleled Benefit: I.R.S. Immunity (Gift Article)
The rebellion against Todd Blanche’s nomination to be attorney general, now seemingly contained, at no point fundamentally questioned President Trump’s new protections from the I.R.S.

Hey Minnesota won and the nudification technology ban will go into effect tomorrow at 12:00AM!
The Trump administration approved the first private data center on public land using a permit meant for a solar project. Instead of building clean energy to lower utility bills, the President wants more data centers to make Big Tech rich using OUR land and resources. No way.
"Also among those detained was a Ugandan woman in a wheelchair who has sickle cell anemia and an active asylum application, according to her lawyer." “It’s not people with criminal records” being targeted, Mr. Shamieh said. “You are talking about people with legitimate pending applications.”

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.
Overland couple shot dead in Guatemala after local ICE stop led to deportations
The couple’s 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body in a sugarcane field last week, according to Guatemalan authorities and media.

Once more: Mamdani understands that you can't just do things in politics and expect voters will notice on their own and thank you for it. You've got to work just as hard selling yourself to voters once you're in office as you did selling yourself to them to get into office. This is the way.
