It was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.

Judge Wise finds that ICE coerced a 20-year-old Tongan man — admitted legally to the country three years ago — to sign a document accepting deportation, despite no criminal record or immigration proceedings against him. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Last year, Republicans cut Medicaid by $1 TRILLION. Now as working people face the reality of this betrayal, Republicans claim it was about fighting fraud. Give me a break. Republicans cut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for the billionaire class. Don't let them rewrite history.
laws are for ppl of color, women and the stupid.
Peace@dogsmile.bsky.social · yesterdayIt’s pretty evident that America has no laws that pertain to the Dotard in the WH.
On the campaign trail Trump said he would never let anyone touch Medicare. On 01.01.2027 the subsidy program for Medicare Part D that helps keep Rx prices down is set to expire. #RepublicanMedicareCuts can be reversed, but we must win the House and Senate. We have 91 days LFG!!
There it is!! Sen Cornyn (R-TX) says “there’s nothing we could do to rein in the president.” If impotent Republicans can’t rein him in then the Democrats will happily do it when we take back Congress in 92 days. We will reverse the #RepublicanMedicareCuts Spineless, cowards‼️
NEW: Judge Allison Burroughs in Massachusetts is *pissed* at DOJ. She does not hold back, calling out DOJ's bad-faith litigating in the TPS cases, in addition to the overarching "shameful cruelty" of what the Trump administration is doing. From her latest order in the Somalia TPS case:
![Leaving aside the shameful cruelty inherent in eschewing a “wind down period” for
people under threat of deportation, many of whom are productive members of our communities
who have lived here for years, built a life here, worked here and raised their families here, the
Court is mindful of both the Supreme Court ruling and the recent First Circuit judgment in this
case. That said, the Court will also not abdicate its responsibility to make thoughtful, wellreasoned decisions after affording all parties a full and fair opportunity to be heard. It is
therefore ORDERED that Plaintiffs respond to Defendants’ motion to lift the stay, [ECF No.
97], by 5:00 p.m. on August 5, 2026. The Court further amends the scheduling order on
supplemental briefing, [ECF No. 82]. Pursuant to the amended schedule, Defendants’ brief is
also due by 5:00 p.m. on August 5, 2026, and any reply brief by Plaintiffs will be due by
5:00 p.m. on August 6, 2026. The Court anticipates a decision on Defendants’ motion, which
will be accompanied by a decision on Plaintiffs’ emergency motion if the Court decides to lift
the administrative stay, early next week. Should Defendants return to the First Circuit prior to
that as they threaten in their motion, the Court will assume that it has lost jurisdiction, which will
delay its rulings.
SO ORDERED.

Tidal wave of anti-Jewish hate becoming harder to take. It's so infuriating, so asinine, so fringe-y but so mainstream. Who is standing with us? Who stands up for us and says ENOUGH?
Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.
CMS is ending Medicare's Part D premium stabilization subsidy after 2026. Standalone drug plans could see big premium hikes in 2027, putting 25M seniors in traditional Medicare at risk. Review your plan during Open Enrollment Oct 15! #RepublicanMedicareCuts
More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.
Schiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"
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.

Some have tried to adapt through organic practices, but the heat and drought are just too intense.

If you don’t understand that MAGA and Donald Trump are running a fucking mafioso government, then you aren’t paying attention. This is bullshit and it needs to stop NOW‼️
#Arizona Katie Hobbs has spent her career fighting for Arizona families. Her experience and dedication make her the leader we need right now. Let's make sure everyone knows what she stands for and why she's the right choice for our state. Re-elect Katie Hobbs! #SheShed #Pinks #ProudBlue #OneV1
I had the pleasure to address the attendees of the Greenwood Juneteenth Festival this year. We need to stop asking, and start demanding, for the right to quality public education and affordable healthcare! #SouthCarolina #SCPol #McCormickSC #GreenwoodSC #Juneteenth #Healthcare #Education
My freedom caucus opponent has promoted false healthcare narratives, using them as justification to sponsor the bills allowing the execution of women who have abortions. I have dedicated my career as a pharmacist to pushing back against these dangerous falsehoods to protect patients from harm.
THIS is what Wes Climer so wholeheartedly believes defines this election? Really? Let me be clear: US vs. THEM is a myth manufactured by guys like this because the more divided we are, the easier we are to manipulate — and the easier we are to manipulate, the easier it is for them to stay in power.
"We want the same South Carolina — one that works for all of us, that provides opportunity for communities who've felt forgotten for far too long."
The judge should drag him into court to say this on the record. Pirro and her staff were subject to ethics rules and contempt restrictions. They couldn’t suborn perjury. Burgum and Trump are posting on social media. They can lie with impunity there.
Helen Kennedy@helenkennedy.com · 4d agoOh my. Pirro v Burgum is on people. (Cannot see how they both stay in their jobs)
Implementing a reliable process of tracking recycled materials will provide Americans with accurate information on plastics used in the products they’re buying. Consumers deserve the truth when making choices among competing products.
Senate Dems introduce plastics tracking bill
The legislation comes as House lawmakers continue their push to advance industry-backed bills on recycled-content claims.
