On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️
🤯 Rep. Max Miller's interview with Jake Tapper was one of the most self-destructive things I've ever witnessed on cable news. Here's the whole thing:

Republicans seem genuinely shocked when they repeat the same lies over and over again yet fail to convince the rest of us that what we saw with our own eyes didn't happen.
I've been conducting a years-long study of the problems America is facing and have come to a conclusion: Too many idiots
You could grow a spine and do your damn jobs.

You refer to eating an entire bag of crisps in one sitting as “mildly concerning”. I refer to it as “seeing things through” and “not being a quitter”. Everything is all about perspective.
I’m just glad the tariff refunds are going to help out struggling multibillion dollar companies in these difficult times.
59 years ago, on August 4, 1967, Pink Floyd released the album "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn". Which track is your favorite?
Congress: “We’ve tried nothing and we’re fresh out of ideas.”
Cool, cool. We’re basically out of ATACMS and PrSM, and we used half our *global* TLAM supply… all for the Strait of Hormuz to still be closed?
🔥 Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."

Klobuchar: "More than six months after Renee and Alex's deaths when I asked Acting AG Blanche if the department would finally fully cooperate with state law enforcement in these investigations, he said 'it depends on what full cooperation means'...Minnesotans deserve transparency and accountability"
Blanche’s deal allows Trump and his sons to avoid paying $100 million in back taxes.$100 million feeds a lot of hungry children.

JIMMY PATRONIS: No. I agree with the president. This is a family fight. Unfortunately, divorces are messy. There are two sides to every story.
New in PN: Moderate Democrats have a choice to make "They can spend the next three months reinforcing Republican messaging about their party & making it less likely Dems take power. Or they can put the 'battle for the soul of the party' off for a while and do what they can to help their party win."
Moderate Democrats have a choice to make
Do they want to help their party win, or do they want to whine about the left?

@bsky.app I’m having trouble unfollowing an account. I have tried multiple times to unfollow the account, closed and restarted the app, and still following them. His has been going on for a while, most recently twice today. Suggestions please.
If you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.
The DOJ has admitted in court that damage to the Reflecting Pool resulted from mistakes in installation by a contractor. This was a no-bid contract, which may have violated contracting laws. As we said in our complaint in June, this contract must be investigated.
