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...

Trump Administration Admits Canceling Grants to States That Did Not Vote for Him

Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states “based solely” on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Washington was beloved by many for giving away power he could have kept. Trump is reviled by many for snatching power he isn’t entitled to,” our columnist Maureen Dowd writes. “One famously wouldn’t tell a lie. The other famously can’t stop telling lies.”

We saw @johncraigie.bsky.social in concert last night at the Denver Botanic Gardens. I had never heard of him but I enjoyed his storytelling every bit as much as his music. Good stuff!

Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98% Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4% Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5% Just thought I should point that out.

I don’t want one cent of my income tax payments to go to Trump’s political grievance fund. Yet another travesty perpetrated on us by this criminal administration.

The real lesson of the Hungarian people's victory over authoritarianism is that people power can defeat dictators. The massive opposition movement led to a massive electoral victory. We can do it too!

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

30 seconds of 21 minute video. Denver showed up! #nokings

Denver #NoKings. Great turnout. Fuck Trump!

There is no lower form of life than the man this country has twice elected President. He is repulsive and unrepentant. I feel sorry for anyone who had the poor judgement to vote for him.

It’s almost as if the President is trying to destroy his own country.

Entertaining defensive game. The Patriot coaches made better choices and that was the difference.

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

No Kings Denver speaker Joe Salazar (fmr Dem state rep) tells me they estimate 25-30k gathered in Denver today, similar to the No Kings protest earlier this year. This view is from photographer Cheney Orr for the New York Times. #copolitics

I have no idea how big the crowd in #Denver was today for #NoKings but it seemed massive. We had great music, inspiring speakers, and a huge march of almost 2 miles through downtown. Thanks to the organizers! We were thrilled to take part in it!

Nope! None of these. #NoKings

The White Lotus Season 3 was fantastic! My postscript: Belinda invest the full $5M in the stock market but loses it all in the slump due to the Trump Tariffs. She is back to work in season 4. #thewhitelotus

#DavidLynch was a creative genius and he will be greatly missed.

It seems like this app has exploded since my last visit. I have already found plenty of great journalists and political folks to follow. I would love to find folks working in or interest in #virtualreality. Also #sciencefiction and #horror books.
