Where are the massive protests demanding justice for this child and harassing this judge every moment they step out into public? This judge and this cop should never know a moment's peace again. I ask again: WHERE ARE THE PROTESTS AT HER HOME, HER WORK, THAT FOLLOW HER EVERYWHERE SHE GOES?

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

The US economy is about 12 times larger than the Russian economy and per capita output is six times larger. CA, NY and TX surpass Russian output. It's a minor economic country. But Trump only wants to match the scale of theft and dictatorial, oligarchic rule of Putin, the people be damned.

I never thought anything could be worse than Trump University Then the university of Tik tok and Tik tok university were established and showed me what was worse Them and their cousin meta university also known as Facebook university and university of instagram its sister campus

Perhaps the most Bluesky thing I’ve seen in awhile is not just one tribute to character actor Richard Riehle with hundreds of likes but several tributes to character actor Richard Riehle with hundreds of likes

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Supporters call it “fairness for girls.” A legal challenge argued that the wording conceals the measure’s targeting of transgender athletes.

The biggest difficulty for Trump and Republicans here is that the first three steps for improving people’s living conditions all involve undoing what they’ve done. 1) Undo the health care and food assistance cuts 2) End the tariffs 3) Go back in time and never start the Iran war

•• Rs inside Trump's political operation are warning that pro-Trump super PACs can only help so much
Instead, GOP candidates need to focus on laying out 3-5 key future deliverables to "improve people's personal economic situation" and
"lower [their] cost of living."
If not, "there's a good chance they're going to lose."
That's shocked Rs in tough races, who feel like they're getting diverging messaging. It's a big shift from even how House GOP leadership has approached the campaign trail in the final stretch.

Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China. We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.

Or the fact that Hamas put genocide of all Jews in their founding charter and have bragged, openly and on camera *RECENTLY*, about how they don't care if Palestinians suffer or die as long as they get to demonize Israel.

The Senators we elect this year will have the power to determine whether we continue to have our Social Security promises fulfilled, or whether we will be betrayed after having paid into it our entire working lives, and no longer be able to have a dignified retirement. Choose well. #Vote

The Senators we elected this year will serve six-year 
terms.

That means the Senators we elect in November have a
choice: Allow an automatic 22% cut to Social Security
benefits, or finally force the rich to pay their fair share.

Who do you trust to make that choice?

I think it's great to release plans like this... But I also think it's important to remember that Trump will still (unfortunately) be President, and he'll probably veto anything that Dems pass through the House & Senate. Temper your expectations here. Reality vs Fantasy.

House Democrats just released an 84-page
health care plan. Here's what they're promising
Medicare will look like if we hand them Congress
in November:

- Dental, vision and hearing coverage added to Medicare
- A lower age to qualify for Medicare
- Long-term care at home covered
- Your out-of-pocket health costs capped at 8% of your income
- Pharmacy middlemen reined in on drug prices
- The Republican "Big Beautiful Bill" health care cuts reversed
