The 2026 midterm elections need to have Hungary-level results against the continued control of MAGA kleptocrats. In some places that means voting independent. In some places it means voting Libertarian. In some places it means voting Democrat. But it's always working against the MAGA agenda.

An immigration enforcement system that punishes people for the government’s own delay is a system which destroys its own legitimacy. People are being thrown in handcuffs and put in ICE detention despite having done every single thing the U.S. government asked them to do.
This couple came legally. They applied for asylum before their visas expired, wanting to do it all by the books. After six months, they applied for work permits to stay afloat, passing background checks. They worked legally and paid taxes while government delay dragged on. Then ICE came for them.
Laura Rodríguez Presa@lauranrodriguez.bsky.social · 7h agoThe couple’s arrest outside Midway Airport aligns with what immigration attorneys across the country have observed in recent months: an increase in ICE arrests at airports of people traveling domestically with expired visas but pending immigration cases. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/08/05/c...
Not surprised: NH women. #NHPolitics
New Hampshire Public Radio@nhpr.org · 3h agoA study from the NH Insurance Department released Monday found that women face challenges accessing appropriate healthcare due to provider shortages, concerns about healthcare affordability, and a low understanding of insurance coverage.
ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. This is what they wrote. (Published Dec. 2024)
“I Have Lost Everything”: The Toll of Cities’ Homeless Sweeps
Cities often take belongings — including important documents and irreplaceable mementos — when they conduct sweeps of homeless encampments. ProPublica gave notecards to people across the country so th...

Wow! @menendez.house.gov says that the EXACT scenario I flagged two months ago, where ICE "releases" someone having a medical emergency solely so their death won't be recorded as occurring while in custody, happened last month at the infamous Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ.
Matt Shuham@mattshuham.bsky.social · yesterdayDays before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) alleged. www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...
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?"
are the keffiyehs in the room with us right now olivia
Hunter Walker@hunterw.bsky.social · 7h agoIn Bari Weiss' Free Press, Olivia Reingold reported from El-Sayed's watch party that "there were keffiyehs as far as the eye could see ... keffiyehs on heads, keffiyehs as belts, keffiyeh-printed phone cases." Not a single one made it into images from Reuters, a local ABC station, or Detroit News.

The Trump administration has now canceled the contract that provided legal services for unaccompanied immigrant kids. That means thousands of children across the country, including hundreds being held in detention, are losing access to government-provided legal representation. (1/5)
love living in a timeline where a notable callout for a CDC director is “she supports science”
The decisive failure of GOP referenda in Kansas Amendment 1 and Missouri Amendment 4 yesterday is yet another reminder of something I've been saying for a while: Voters, even Republican voters, now regularly despise and repudiate GOP attempts to use them to destroy democracy.
Drop some of your fav podcasts, bc I think this is mostly right but there are still some gems :) A thread?
Travis W. Jacobson@halingogringo.bsky.social · 8h agoI see podcasts and social media going the way of MySpace: faded out of existence. Almost all the podcasts are the same now. They’re either white people talking politics, comedians doing comedy on yet another stage, or “deep-dives” into people’s lives. Creativity has taken a hit.

Terrible pain all over? Have you tried iron? 🤨🤨🤨 Same doctor, when I asked for a mental health referral: You don’t need therapy, you’re a woman who’s chosen children and a career, you’re just going to be depressed. 😳
Heather Hill@rollin-academic.bsky.social · 9h agoA question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"
And I think it's notable that the actual candidates recognize this, know that the factions have far more in common than separates them, and are quickly moving to mend fences and look toward winning in November.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.gov · 12h agoICYMI: I pressed the Trump Administration last week on why it halted plans to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Instead of honoring her legacy, this Administration is wasting its time on the President’s ego projects like putting his face on a $250 bill. spectrumlocalnews.com/ga/georgia/p...

correct are you serious about beating fascism or not? get in, we’re beating them in november you can be mad, you can be disappointed, but at the end of the day having someone with D in any and all seats is better than having someone with an R in them

There are going to be narratives the AES underperformed in this race which is quite frankly insane. He massively over performed. He entered this race as a massive underdog to both McMorrow and Stevens and didn’t become the favorite until June.
Any AES supporter would have been thrilled with a win of any margin as recently as a month ago. A few late polls showing a bigger lead shouldn’t change that reality. He won against the Dem establishment and $62M of PAC money. He was barely on the radar when he entered the race.
