Fun fact: in our polling of battleground states, about 60% of voters said it is a “top” or “high” priority for Congress to investigate and hold Musk accountable. Lean into it Dems. He’s a cartoon villain - treat him like one.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 22h ago

Musk is already underwater in polls and if Democrats lean in they can make him even more toxic. He's declared open war on you all and is pushing a toxic, destructive, racist agenda. Maybe it's time to push back? I don't know, I'm just spitballing here.

“Elon Musk destroyed USAID as a mechanism for killing off as many of the global poor and non-white as he can before they kill him first (as he, insanely, believes)” is not a conspiracy theory. In truth, it’s very hard to conclude anything else.

For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.

Yes, three separate warnings dismissed: Egyptian intelligence, the leader of the UAE, and a group of female Israeli soldiers who monitored activity in Gaza. All shrugged off as a distraction from Bibi’s efforts to deepen control of the West Bank. Worst intelligence failure ever. Leadership’s fault.

Andy Pearlman@apearlma.bsky.social · 2d ago

also a bunch of misogyny—women Israeli soldiers were mostly given the task of watching Gaza because it was considered not really a threat, the IDF ignored their warnings prior and then was slow to react at the actual attack.

Every update about the pancreatic cancer vaccine, I have to hold back the rush of tears thinking about my stepdad. He’s been gone 20 years and six months, and the idea that other families may not have to know the pain of watching someone die of this evil disease is almost too much to hope for.

GOOD NEWS! Phase I clinical trial results out of Johns Hopkins show a first-of-its-kind vaccine designed to target common KRAS mutations was safe AND stimulated KRAS-specific T-cell responses in 90% of study participants who were at HIGH risk of developing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

I want to make sure everyone in the city is aware that SUNY Downstate operates a large and extremely skilled LGBTQ and gender affirming care clinic, and we have repeatedly reiterated our intention to go to jail before we stop.

BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Friday that it reached an “agreement” with Mount Sinai Health System in which it will “cease providing” gender-affirming medical care to minors and dedicate $2 million to providing care to those “suffering harmful consequences” of such care.

This is also horrifying because these institutions took a long time to build the expertise needed, and now building that capacity back will take time even when Trump is gone. And so many trans kids will suffer in the meantime.

Syrians who live under and near the new Israeli occupied territories since 2024 say that Israel is turning southwestern Syria into a new West Bank— checkpoints, military bases, closed roads, demolition orders on villages, the kidnapping of civilians into military prisons without charge, and more.

Why is Israel's military presence growing in Syria?

The recent Israeli attack on a Syrian airbase is just one of many Israeli incursions into Syria. In southern Syria, locals say Israeli troops have detained them, destroyed infrastructure and set up mi...

BLS this morning, with revised 2Q data: "The labor share, which is the percentage of output that accrues to workers in the form of compensation, was 52.8 percent in the second quarter of 2026, the lowest level in the series, which begins in the first quarter of 1947."

He ran the kind of government that US centrists fondly envision, and as a result, he was a total failure, everyone hated him, and no one will miss him.

A previously scheduled caucus rules meeting did not result in a firm proposal regarding Reps. Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.

Republicans have made their election strategy very clear: 1) Islamophobia 2) transphobia 3) blatant lying 4) cheating / suppressing votes 5) throwing endless dark + corporate $$ at all the above When I see Democrats HELPING them on 1 & 2 - or barely mentioning the rest - I want to break bones.

Even in this generational moment for Democrats, it’s not enough to just be younger. Primary voters need to believe the candidate has big ideas too. Markey won by highlighting his progressive credentials and casting Moulton to his right and as too tied to establishment orthodoxy.

Sen. Ed Markey defeats Rep. Seth Moulton to win his Democratic primary, @nbcnews.com projects. Markey is 80; Moulton is 47. But Markey played up his progressive credentials and cast doubt on Moulton’s. Markey will likely cruise to reelection in dark blue Massachusetts this fall.

Flock cameras have no place in Texas. They can piece together an exact map of your behavior — the places you went and how long you were there. Flock calls this “pattern-of-life” mapping. Texans call it something else: government overreach.

Fox News complains that underage teenage girls aren’t getting pregnant enough: “The problem is teens and young adults. From ages 15-19, the fertility rate is down 70% in the last 2 decades, which means we are telling people who are young not to have babies.”
