He promised to deport 11 million people This could not be done with any respect for human rights whatsoever Either you knew that would mean an inquisition, the third largest mass deportation in history, or you didn’t Either you cared or you didn’t You either voted for it or against it

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2w agoBREAKING NYT: Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the FBI would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents — cases that sometimes yield evidence that could be used to prosecute DHS agents implicated in violent encounters.
Folks complaining the actors in The Odyssey don't look Ancient Greek are oddly nostalgic for the era when John Wayne was apparently the most qualified Mongolian on Earth.
Feds are eliminating bike lanes, removing lower speed limits, and rolling back pedestrian protections, calling them “social initiatives” that increase congestion. Sean Duffy calls them “DEI bike lanes” and claims he’s “putting safety first.” www.npr.org/2026/07/16/n...
And there it is. That’s what last night was all about. To strengthen their court case when the states inevitably push back.

28 years of cyclosporiasis testing Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966. Measles eradicated in the US in 2000. All are back because of this science denying administration.
He’s purposefully confusing registration rolls with voters, and including dead people as non-citizens. Which I guess they are in a way.
Ari Berman@ariberman.bsky.social · 3w agoTrump claims 278,000 non-citizens on voter rolls. That’s laughable. Utah recently audited 2 million people on voter rolls and found just 27 noncitizens registered, amounting to .00135% of registered voters
The first thing a corpse does is notify the election office to take their name off the rolls.
Mike Nellis@mikenellis.bsky.social · 3w agoTrump is counting DEAD PEOPLE in his number of "non-citizens" who are registered to vote. They found very few *actual* non-citizens registered to vote. This is from their own report. Pathetic!
I've just seen about 40 kids sneak into watch 'The Odyssey' without paying by hiding in a giant wooden coat.
RFK Jr. made Cyclospora tracking optional, gutting a CDC program used to detect outbreaks. Now cyclosporiasis has hit 31 states. That's what happens when you dismantle the systems designed to keep us safe. www.npr.org/2026/07/12/n...
What to know about cyclosporiasis, the intestinal illness hitting the U.S.

This is obviously the result of the ridiculous Pulte national intelligence appointment, and if they’ve just got rehashed unsuccessful attempts involving international actors, they’ve got nothing.
Philip Bump@pbump.com · 3w agoRemember how actual, demonstrated Russian interference efforts were derided as a "hoax" by this guy? On Thursday, let's compare the evidence for 2016 interference relative to what's shown for 2020.
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.

Hollywood missing a huge opportunity by not casting soccer and NBA players to play the guys in the background suffering incredible pain in war movies
I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that
DR Congo superfan denied US visa to support team at World Cup
Michel Kuka Mboladinga is iconic for his motionless tribute at DRC games, but a US World Cup repeat has been denied.

Everybody is also fully aware that weapons inspections were part of the deal Obama struck with Iran in 2015, which you tore up in 2018. These last 8 years without inspection are your fault, so there’s no credit or praise for reinstating them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It’s telling that when Hassett was asked about the spike in delinquent credit card balances, he talked about the potential harm to credit card companies, not people.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoBREAM: The Journal says percentage of delinquent credit card balances is 13%, the highest in 15 years. People are using them for necessities. Your message to them? HASSETT: We talk to CEOs of the credit card companies all the time, and there's not any threat to them. People are taking a bit longer.
So, this new thing where political appointees will review scientific grants to decide whether or not to fund them? It is so dangerous that I keep thinking of new, terrible things hourly. The most obvious one is that RFK Jr.’s evidence-free, vibes-based agenda will be the priority.
America has never fully reckoned with its history. Colonization, slavery, the Confederacy, and Jim Crow were all systems built around race and power. The backlash to civil rights and social change did not disappear. MAGA did not emerge from nowhere.
Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.
I would vote for a Logan’s Run law in Seattle, even if the age cutoff took me along with these weirdos.

After reviewing the cases, the FDA reported that no cases were “certain” to be linked to Covid vaccination. The conclusions differ from Prasad’s characterization of the deaths, who said in a November memo that the children died “after and because of receiving” the vaccine. @berkeleyjr.bsky.social
No child deaths definitively linked to Covid shots, FDA says
The agency’s analysis contradicts claims made by former vaccine chief Dr. Vinay Prasad.
