Members of the Democratic Socialists of America, the country’s largest socialist organization, recently gathered in Chicago at a moment of surging political influence. Our reporter Kellen Browning went to the DSA’s national summit to learn more about the group’s new platform. nyti.ms/4z0iFAE

Seeing "ICE reform" trending and let me just stop you all there - no-one tried to reform the SS, or the Khmer Rouge, or any of the rest of history's racist stormtroopers. Abolish ICE, arrest the agents, and hold every single one of them to account. No mercy, no exceptions.

Interesting that claims that DOJ is refusing cooperation are simply denied as false. But the same charges are coming from prosecutors in the UK, France, Germany, Poland, Norway and other places. They all say the DOJ is sitting on materials and refusing to cooperate in pending criminal cases.

The U.S. Justice Department called New Mexico officials' claim that it would not cooperate in the Epstein investigation "false."

It is rarely ever framed in these terms but one thing I say often is that if Democratic leadership really wanted to defang one of the issues that has fueled the rise of the insurgent left, they could always moderate on Israel-Palestine and just adopt the median Democratic voter's view.

Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Greg Casar urging colleagues to vote YES on Massie & Khanna's amendment cutting aid to Israel. "The American people are crying out for an end to US tax dollars subsidizing Israel's military." Comes as party leadership announces opposition to the amendment.

July 14, 2026 Dear Colleagues: I am writing to explain why I will vote yes on Rep. Thomas Massie’s Amendment 8 to the National Security, Department of State and Related Programs Appropriation Act. I am proud that the Progressive Caucus has endorsed the Block the Bombs Act to cut off weapons the Israeli military uses to kill civilians in Gaza, and I believe a yes vote is most consistent with that position. I understand many people have good faith concerns that this amendment would impact non-military funding. I want to be clear about the facts here. This amendment would block $3.3 billion in offensive military aid and about $50 million in non-military funding. In other words, 98.5% of the funding is for the military. While I wish we could vote on an amendment targeted just to military aid, and of course support humanitarian programs, we do not have that option. The American people are crying out for an end to US tax dollars subsidizing Israel’s military. At a time when millions are struggling to make ends meet, we are sending billions of dollars to a military that has killed tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon, destabilized the region, and helped lead us into war with Iran. Over the weekend, the Israeli military detained a member of Congress attempting to conduct oversight in the West Bank. We cannot continue to subsidize this. I am aware House Democratic leadership has a different position on this amendment. I appreciate that they have facilitated open conversations on this issue and avoided whipping a no vote. I respect their leadership. At its best, the Progressive Caucus’ role is to be an independent voice and lead on important issues of peace and human rights. After the Israeli government has killed more than 70,000 people in Gaza and helped lead the United States into a destabilizing, deadly war with Iran, we are called to act. The Democratic Party needs a new approach to Israel and Palestine. When Democrats retake the majority in…

So, so proud of you, NEW YORK. This is monumental and significant for our country to be cautious in tackling the data centers and not prioritize the industry's cutting-edge stuff ahead of our citizens. There has to be a better way, and your step is the first step.

New York has become the first US state to enforce a data center moratorium, as governor Kathy Hochul signed an executive order today to pause construction for one year.

The DOJ as we knew it no longer exists. Total federal immigration cases tracked: 801 Judicial finding of noncompliance: At least 740 Judicial expressions of distrust of government information: At least 150 Arbitrary-and-capricious findings: 14 Sanctions, fines, fees, and contempt findings: 13

The Epstein Files Transparency Act requires the DoJ to release all files. Files cannot be withheld for priviledge. Files containing investigative actions and findings cannot be withheld. The DoJ is breaking the law. The DOW is under 50,000. Release the Epstein Files you nazi fucks.

Cory Doctorow was interviewed by Anna Foster on BBC Radio 4 Today on the topic of AI. I've captured a transcript of the questions here in a short thread (with the help of Google AI voice-to-text. Good AI, thank-you.) 1/5

AF: We could spend the whole of the rest of the day talking about AI but sometimes we need focus… CD: Oh God, must we? AF: We must, we must and while we decided to focus on this idea of a crisis of control, do you think that there is one? CD: I think AI is the money-losing-est thing the human race has ever done, I think it's grossly oversold and I think that the capital markets have lost their minds because of the confluence of large tech monopolies that have saturated their markets and need to convince investors that they can keep growing despite the fact that they have 90% market shares and the fact that they have a large customer base of bosses who are just infinitely excited at the prospect of firing mouthy workers who know how to do things that they don't know how to do and replacing them with software that compliantly does whatever it's told.
