Voters in Kansas saw through a blatant political power grab and sent a message — our courts are not for sale.

This Fauci thing is Embarrassing, for them, Not him…..

Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine has it figured out. I couldn't agree more. Fuck fascism.

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob." —FDR, 1936

Tens of thousands of Virginians have had their voting rights restored thanks to a move from Gov. Abigail Spanberger. Spanberger announced that her office has restored voting rights for more than 66,000 people who have served their punishments after being charged with crimes.

"A people that elects corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims... but accomplices." — George Orwell #RadioFreeAmerica #politics

Gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. Until we end that, it will remain difficult to achieve the things most Americans already agree on.

I swear, there truly isn't one person anywhere in this administration who is competent at the job in which they've been installed. Not. One. The US Department of Labor posted this. Department. Of. LABOR.🤦‍♂️🤦🤦‍♀️

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the United States did a terrible job with COVID due to Dr. Fauci. He might want to listen to man who picked him for Sec. of HHS. Pres. Trump has bragged for years that the U.S. did a great job with COVID and wasn't given enough credit for it. Receipts.

I’m running for the Senate to make life easier today. To go after insurance companies ripping you off. To make sure you can retire with dignity. And to build an economy that finally values working people.

Republicans and the Justice Department, now under the control of former Trump lawyer Todd Blanche, have repeatedly used testimony to gin up perjury investigations. That’s turned testimony before Congress—which should be a public process—into the first step toward a criminal investigation.

The next victim of Trump’s political prosecutions? Congressional oversight.

Anthony Fauci didn't want to give his enemies ammunition, but his freedom isn't the only thing at risk.

Gov. Beshear on Mitch McConnell: "If he can have a 17-minute conversation with his protege, he can call into any of your news stations for three. All we're asking is just a little bit of proof."

NEW: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is demanding in a new letter that Mitch McConnell "directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign."

Democrats have spent years warning that Donald Trump is an existential threat. So why do they keep acting like they have unlimited time? My latest looks at Mitch McConnell, Andy Beshear, and a party that too often moves after the opportunity has passed. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Mitch McConnell Would Never Be This Nice

The delay in demanding proof from McConnell is a microcosm of how Democrats are squandering the midterms.

Last month, SCOTUS told the Trump admin it could end temporary protected status immigration programs. Today 350,000 people, mostly Haitians lose status & elderly & disabled Americans they are caregivers for will suffer along with them. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/27/b...

Protected No More

We look at the end of Temporary Protected Status.

You have much more power than the people in charge of Washington want you to believe. 100 days from today comes the best chance we’ve had in a long time to use it. Let’s get to work.

Oh ffs. Trump wants Bolsonaro's son Flavio to be the next president of Brazil, so he sent officials down to "monitor" the election. Brazil suspected fuckery, said no, and wouldn't let them in. Now Trump is mad. Flavio's been making Trumpian claims about stolen elections. www.rawstory.com/brazil/

Fuck the Dodgers.

NBC's kristen welker was caught laughing it up with Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller who architected the family separation policy. Stephen Miller who pushed the Muslim travel ban. Stephen Miller who oversaw the killing of Americans by ICE agents. This is why independent media is crucial.

I’m totally comfortable with this.

The story of Vernon AME is not only about confronting the destructive forces of hatred. It is a story about faith, hope, and community - an enormously inspiring one. “We are going to survive it, and we’re going to survive it together.”

Canadian plane dropping water on the Los Angeles forest fire. Neighbors helping neighbors. Thank you so much Canada, we are sorry our current leader is an idiot.

Every State should be doing this. We know he's going to interfere in the election because he knows if we win, it's the end of his regime.

An armed guard shot a woman over an argument outside the Aurora ICE facility. When corporate prison guards open fire on citizens for speaking out, we are in a police state. This violent act shows what happens when you embolden an unhinged system. coloradonewsline.com/briefs/color...

Todd Blanche is violating federal law by covering up the Epstein files. Rather than confirming him as attorney general, the Senate ought to demand his prosecution.

This week, Americans across the country took to the streets to protest ICE and remind their neighbors that democracy is not a spectator sport. Take a look:
