NEW: Gov. Wes Moore reveals to @askdinadoll.bsky.social that Democratic AND Republican governors have been working together for months to prepare for potential threats to the midterm elections. Moore says governors are “battle boarding” and “red teaming” different scenarios ahead of November.

Reporter on Bond Market: The yields have come back up since then. Have you talked to Bessent about another type of intervention.? Trump: The ultimate intervention is our military. And if we have to use that, we will.

I challenge anyone to defend this: A war built on lies told by a White House that is utterly absent any figures of integrity to dissuade this president from his delusions.

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…

Wilson: I guarantee you there are 10 reporters in D.C. right now who know exactly what Mitch McConnell’s medical status is. They’re not reporting it.  If I’m Beshear, brother, just declare the election. And if they want to prove that Mitch McConnell is alive and well, go do it.

one of the most important digital security steps i take, knowing full well that the gov will get whatever tf they want off my phone, is to call stephen miller a little bitch in response to any problematic text message so that i can at least move to have that admitted too on completeness grounds

Pretty amazing Hegseth is still doing his "woke brown wussies lose" bit after handing Iran the Strait of Hormuz, perhaps the fastest and most decisive military defeat by a superpower in superpower history.

I went to Delaney Hall to follow up on conversations I had this morning with family members of detainees. ICE and GEO Group did not let me speak with detainees. Why do they insist on hiding the truth even after getting almost $1 billion of tax dollars?

Jewish youth in America have turned sharply against Zionism as it is defined by Likud,"half of American Jews under 35 say the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should be solved by creating a single country in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza with a government elected by both Israelis and Palestinians"

Half of young U.S. Jews would replace Israel with binational state, poll finds

Correct me if I’m wrong, but as a retired Rn, I always believed serial cognitive exams were done to see whether dementia was present and whether or not it had worsened. How sad is it that our president doesn’t know the difference between an IQ test and a cognitive assessment?

It’s no big surprise that Trump’s DOJ is deleting all of the January 6th press releases from its website. Here’s the thing: I downloaded all of them in Feb. 2025 (that’s right, more than a year ago) suspecting that they’d do just that. And we’re working to post them all online, as are others.

Trump DOJ mass-deletes info on Jan. 6 riot cases, including violent assaults on cops

The Trump Department of Justice purged government news releases with information about prosecutions of rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol and assaulted law enforcement on Jan. 6, 2021.

The Bible is pretty clear about worshiping false idols. “You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them…” Exodus 20:3–5.

The EU flag is flying at Hungary’s parliament again after Péter Magyar was sworn in as prime minister — the first time it’s been displayed there since Viktor Orbán had it removed in 2014.

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.
