Palantir hoovering up European defence and NHS contracts whilst funnelling earnings back to the US to pay negligible corporate tax is a complete failure of digital sovereignty. European states must stop enriching tech firms that drain public coffers. Is it time to ban them? #FBPE

💥 Mitch McConnell & Lindsey Graham both supported SANCTIONS on RUSSIA. Both suddenly dropped dead. This was Lindsey the day before. Mitch coverup ongoing. Then, Trump added tariffs to the bill to KILL it. And now it's floundering towards failure. #Patterns

ICYMI last night, DHS is currently being fined every day for contempt of court until it coughs up the cell phone records of officers involved in immigration stops in L.A. last year that looked like racial profiling rather than reasonable cause. short thread -->

Fed. judge holds DHS in civil contempt of court for refusing "intentionally and not in good faith" to provide plaintiffs with phone images they intend to use to prove DHS was racially profiling people arrested in Los Angeles without reasonable suspicion. Order from July 28, unsealed today.

IRAN: Prof Marandi said the current war is unlike previous wars. The Israeli occupation is increasingly “despised” around the world & gradually losing standing in the United States. He warned of an imminent global crisis, even if an agreement is reached, the situation is far worse than many realize.

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!🥳

A hard situation deep into the Thai Jungle today after we got a tip off. Nobody lives here. Managed to get the first boy saved (more soon we hope) and medical care. I've never seen a dog go from scared to happy to be rescued so quick

Good morning! Start the day with a buzz. A bee's bum is the gift that keeps giving. 😉😂🐝

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

Trump: "Everybody saw the vandalism. All you have to do is look at the tape." (There is no tape. Trump is nuts.)

The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.

A paramilitary group plotted to overthrow the Constitution then conducted a violent attack on America. They were convicted in court of seditious conspiracy, and jailed. Then the leader they aimed to illegally install got power and let them out, their records wiped clean. The Jan. 6 attackers won.

Judge Pained as He Grants Dismissal of Jan. 6 Charges Against Oath Keepers

The judge, Amit P. Mehta, blasted the administration’s request for a dismissal in the case, saying it bestowed “unearned grace” on the Oath Keepers defendants “by wiping their records clean.”

Abdul won, and everybody should be rallying around him. It’s important that we defeat Rogers and take back the Senate to effectively end Trump’s second term. Ignore anybody telling you otherwise. We can get back to fighting with each other after the general election.

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

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.

David Ellison may think we are stupid, but we know who he is. We know what he has done to CBS. We know what he wants to do to CNN. Support independent media.

Every American should be clear-eyed about the fact that our lives have been a total nightmare under the Republican Party. #Pinks

This guy is leaving the Senate after 24 years and he’s petrified of an 80 year old delusional narcissist and pedophile.

When Trump and Kushner learned mostly Blacks and Browns were dying in Blue states thinking blaming Governors would clench his re-election they threw out THEIR ONLY PLAN, MASKS FOR EVERY HOUSEHOLD instead signing an EO ordering minorities back to work and holding super spread rallies! Sacrificed!

Some good news. For a change! #politics

Why is it not front page news on every major media outlet that the United States commander in chief had hundreds of his bank accounts frozen for money laundering??????
