A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

This. Exactly this. Call the. What they are. Predators. Creeps preying on women and girls.

In a moment when American families need politicians to make life better and more affordable, Republicans are out there passing the policy equivalent of upskirt pics.

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%.  In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets.  This is only the beginning.

Imagine if you mailed the IRS a check to pay your taxes, but they left their mail unopened for years and then arrested you for failure to pay taxes. That’s effectively what ICE is doing to increasing numbers of people now; people out of status only because of GOVERNMENT delay.

interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”

NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

An ICE private prison guard shot Emma Landis as Emma protested on the sidewalk, while he was in his car waiting to enter the facility. He and all his ICE friends waiting to enter did nothing to help her, and she had to call 911 herself.

For weeks now they've claimed they didn't have body cams because Dems shut down the government. NOW we find out that they did have body cams and they didn't turn them on. Unbelievable, and the excuse shows how the billions being spent are corrupting government...

just worth emphasizing here that there's no way to deport 30 million people without committing genocide. ethnic cleansing on this scale always, always leads to mass death, and is intended to.

wrote about why ICE keeps killing people. it's because they're part of a pretty explicitly genocidal project. trump wants them to kill people, and so they do. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/ices-missi...

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

When people say that there is a bias against conservatives in places like the Times that reflects their failure to understand that the Times (like many university spaces) lowers standards to represent right-wing views for purposes of intellectual diversity.

To date, immigration officials have shot and killed 11 people, including two Minnesotans. Across the country, they operate with no respect for human life, the law, or consequences. There's no reforming this agency. Rip it apart.

I am volunteering to serve as Guest Parliamentarian for the Maine Democratic Party Convention. Why me? 🦞served as counsel to a state party and designed procedures for similar proceedings 🦞no connection to any of the candidates 🦞can steam or boil lobster 🦞have stuff to return to LL Bean anyway

Video appears to show no damage to the vehicle of the man ICE killed in Houston, who had lived in America peacefully for 35 years, despite ICE's claim that he "rammed" an ICE vehicle and "tried to run over" an agent. These people are not credible.

David J. Bier@davidjbier.bsky.social · 4w ago

Video shows the moments before ICE shot a worker who lived for 35 years in the United States. It appears to show it was ICE attempting to initiate contact with his vehicle, not the worker attempting to "ram" ICE agents

Amazing and wonderful start to a new era of telling the truth

This is FALSE. ICE data showed DHS averaging 1,259 deportations/day through April 4. There is ZERO sign deportations rose by 154% since. Mullin also mixes up DHS's (also FALSE) claim that 70% arrested have any criminal record at all, and claims that 70% are felons. Wildly wrong.

Finnish President Stubb: We have to stop pushing narrative that Russia is on top. It's not. Russia already suffered over 1 million casualties and advanced only 60 km in full-scale war that now lasted longer than World War I. Their war against Ukraine is going to be a strategic failure for Russia.

The great American state fair being stupid Trump bullshit does legit make me sad, if I’m being honest. A lot of the 250 stuff does. This could have been a really cool and special thing and literally any normal president would have pulled it off.

Race can be the main ingredient in acts that promote white supremacy, but can’t be a single ingredient in acts to dismantle it.
