Waking up to Sharia Law in NYC is crazy. Knicks won, crime is down, 2,000 toddlers are going to school for free, parents got “date night” with nyc babysitters, they’re building housing on city land, small businesses are saving money and selling ice cream. Its sunny out i should go get one.

Let’s level set. MICHIGAN is a must-win if we want to flip the Senate. A word caution: This race was tighter than many predicted. El-Sayed needs Stevens supporters in the general, so it’s not smart strategy to keep them angry. Welcome them. Focus on issues. Time is short, so healing must be quick

Every single campaign donor to Max Milker should be held accountable and answer for it. Every company, every individual. They are financing his career in politics despite what they know. All who write a checks going forward and donors who don’t demand a refund are complicit.

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.

B. Defendants’ Noncompliance Is Intentional And Not In Good Faith. Having found that Defendants are in violation of the January 16 Forensic Imaging Order, the burden now shifts to Defendants to show that they were unable to comply. Affordable Media, 179 F.3d at 1239 (9th Cir. 1999). They fail to make that showing. Upon review of the parties’ submissions and counsel’s representations at the hearing, it does not appear that Defendants’ noncompliance is due to an inability to comply. Instead, the clear and convincing evidence shows that Defendants have acted intentionally and not in good faith.

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.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

President Trump and his allies have repeatedly blasted individual federal judges as rogue actors and political activists whose rulings are illegitimate. U.S. District Judge John McConnell’s experience is emblematic of the climate facing jurists.

This federal judge ruled against Trump. Then the threats began.

Yep. Doing the same things they've been doing for years. Repost is a response to Cuban who pretends to be "the good Billionaire".🙄💢😂

Your argument falls flat for the 99% of us because we don't get "Health Care", we pay Insurance Companies for "Kentucky-Fried 'Healthcare'" who treat our "Premiums like Gambling Stakes, and use AI & failed Doctors with multiple malpractice suits to deny what we pay the Premiums for. 3/4

TAPPER: Do you know what a tall order it is to believe that 3 women who don't know each other made up accusations of you being violent, and you are telling the truth and they are all lying? That's difficult to believe, right? MAX MILLER: No. Not in this instance.

Texans are finally waking up! James Talarico is favored to beat Paxton by three points in the Texas Senate race. Let's stretch that margin to 8 or 10 points.

Q: You’ve been Republicans for most of your voting lives. Who’s voting for James Talarico? Republican moms: *all raise their hands* “I like him. I want a middle school teacher who’s like, hey, this is broken. Somebody needs to fix it. Why not me?”

Tapper: "There are now three women who have accused you of violent behavior…Are all three of these women who don't know each other lying?" Rep. Max Miller: "Yes…It's all hearsay." Tapper: "It's not hearsay if it is firsthand testimony from women."

Insurers sometimes deny coverage citing lack of progress, labeling patients’ conditions as chronic. Yet if they do make progress, insurers have also used that to argue patients no longer need treatment. Doctors are left to walk a tightrope. (Published Dec. 2024)

Her Mental Health Treatment Was Helping. That’s Why Insurance Cut Off Her Coverage.

Providers, patients and even some federal judges say progress-based insurance denials harm patients at key moments of mental health treatment.
