What's your personal recession indicator?
Politicians in California have betrayed the people of their state by quietly removing the proposed phaseout and restriction on registering new PFAS pesticides. 🧵
If you share images of offensive things that Haley Stevens supporters say, it will solicit a different group of Stevens supporters who fact-check you like "woah they're not democrats" "excuse me these people are maga" "uhh you're mistaken, those are republicans" ... And they're so close to the point
A police officer in North Carolina was arrested for using Flock cameras to track her boyfriend's ex-wife. Investigators say Elizabeth Snowman, 36, accessed the Flock database 31 times for personal reasons, including multiple times while off-duty. She remains employed by the Mooresville Police Dept.
Port Townsend Paper Corporation in Washington has 12 consecutive quarters of Clean Air Act violations, 5 formal air pollution enforcement actions & 23 violation notices (totaling 28) across 5 years, and 160 violation/trigger notices for the facility since 1990 across air, water, and waste permits. 🧵
Voters in Missouri have decisively rejected a proposal to phase out the state's individual income tax and expand sales taxes. The ballot measure was defeated 83% to 17%.

About $100 billion that was collected in Trump's tariffs has officially been refunded, which is about 60% of the estimated $165 billion total collected under the program. 🧵
One of the cofounders of the Federalist Society just confessed that he doesn't know what bananas from a grocery store actually looks like
The federal government has officially ended legal-service funding for more than 25,000 unaccompanied children. This is so messed up. 🧵
I guarantee you that the people of North Dakota want a ban on data centers and flock cameras a million times more than they give a single solitary shit about banning kratom
I just found out there are only 2 lawyers in the state of North Dakota who regularly represent injured workers... and they're both in their late 60s. This feels like a made-up stat, but it's real. They got the same number of lawyers for injured workers as they have US senators.
19 million US children (1 in 4) aren't receiving their full federal Child Tax Credit because they come from a household whose income is too low. This upside-down structure penalizes the most vulnerable children. It makes no sense. Kids don't choose their parents' income level.
60% of respondents in a survey conducted in Corpus Christi, Texas think the public should directly own the water supply through government agencies. Less than 25% favored ownership by private supply companies. 🧵
As a New Yorker, it's not lost on me whatsoever that these corporate-backed campaigns that support the inferior candidate in every primary around the country are being supported by the same class of party bigwigs that tried to resurrect that perv Andrew Cuomo's career
I saw a viral tweet from an anti-Trump lib that was like "I miss Obama, I even miss Bush" and it had a lot of shares from big pages and over 20k likes. Why would any elite neolibs/neocons ever actually fight Trump if his existence in power makes everyday anti-Trump American libs love and miss them?
The US government under the Trump admin is trying to deport a Palestinian Muslim community leader using Israeli-military court documents from decades ago. 🧵
While Abdul El-Sayed is trying to unite different groups in Michigan who face a lot of the same problems, a major feature of the Haley Stevens campaign is an attempt to appeal to Americans who discriminate against Arabs and Muslims. 🧵
The Trump admin is making the temporary visa-bond program permanent, setting deposits between $10,000 and $20,000 for business and tourist visas across 50 countries (30 of which are in Africa). 🧵
There have been at least 17 documented incidents targeting Islamic houses of worship in the US from May 2026 to July 2026, which is a whopping 183% increase compared to the same period in 2025. 🧵
Pro-genocide Democrats like Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer are the most directly-responsible group of liberals who painfully laid the asphalt and built the road for Trump 2.0 while millions begged them to do what's good, what's right, and what's electorally-popular
Fact check: Abdul El-Sayed never once blamed any problems on Jewish Americans. He's been justifiably critical of the Israeli government and pro-Israel lobby. Haley Stevens is resorting to reactionary propaganda to win her primary. This is how low she thinks of Michigan voters.
A pastor and former school security guard in Oklahoma was arrested for sexual battery involving a child. 🧵
A youth pastor in Virginia has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for soliciting sexual material from minors. Jacob Ryan Barnett, 35, tried to groom a 15-year-old girl in Michigan by pretending to be a minor online and convincing her to send a sexually explicit video of herself. 🧵
A 2-time Jeopardy champion has pleaded guilty to putting hidden cameras inside the bedroom and bathroom of a rental home. Philip Joseph DeSena, 44, got probation and won't be registered as a sex offender. No jail time, no registry. They gave this perv a sweetheart deal.
Patricia Heaton (born in Ohio / lives in Tennessee) thinks NYC should ban Zohran Mamdani (the democratically elected mayor) from a ceremony that takes place in NYC. It never ceases to amaze me how many TV stars from my childhood are volunteering to make total asses of themselves.
On this day in 1994, Dr. John Britton and his volunteer bodyguard, James Barrett, were shot and killed outside the Pensacola Ladies' Center in Florida. The murderer was Paul Jennings Hill, a minister and anti-abortion extremist. 🧵
Since January 2025, the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) shared nearly half a million leads about unaccompanied children, sponsors, and household members with ICE. For context, the ORR is the federal agency that's responsible for sheltering unaccompanied minors who immigrated here. 🧵
In a 1992 interview, Richard Nixon says that Israel has no strategic value, but every US president would still continue to support it
