SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏

Retired attorney. More and more, my initial reaction to news stories is “WTF is wrong with people?!”
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
I want companies that have profited from contracts with ICE to go out of business. I want companies that have gone all in on AI to go out of business. I want companies that cause nationwide diarrhea outbreaks to go out of business. I want companies that give money to fascists to go out of business.
This would have been a month-long scandal on Fox News if Obama or Biden had done this. They are burying the death count because they want people to forget that war actually has a cost. www.huffpost.com/entry/iran-w...

News outlets that covered the US-Saudi nuclear deal without mentioning that Jared Kushner, Trump’s top foreign policy advisor, is getting paid by the Saudi government: WSJ NYT AP Reuters CNN NBC ABC CBS The Guardian Semafor Washington Post Fox News New York Post BBC Newsweek MS NOW
A nuclear deal for the Saudis. A media blackout for Kushner’s corruption.
On Wednesday, the Trump administration signed a 30-year nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that paves the way for the kingdom to enrich its own uranium.

As journalists we can’t just let athletes like Sophie Cunningham or Britta Curl drop transphobic talking points into our stories without pushing back. “Protecting girls from what? From who? Where is the evidence that this is occurring?” Make them say the quiet part out loud. Challenge them w/ facts
Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.
Sports Illustrated caught the boos for Trump.
Beshear needs to do what Mitch would do in his shoes. The law they made to stop Beshear from appointing a replacement violates the state constitution. Make the friggin' appointment!!! Make them prove he's alive or take you to court (which will prove he's not alive).
Gov. Beshear suggests he received information suggesting McConnell ‘passed’ in new interview
The governor said he received the information from diffrent agencies but did not say which during the July 15 interview.

AOC on Trump: The man cannot stand the truth, so he has to manufacture a fiction where he is popular—a fairy tale. But we have to remember that it is just that: fiction, fairy tales, a myth, a story, a lie.
The best way to get to the bottom of the McConnell question is for the governor to appoint a replacement. The GOP legislature passed a law stripping him of that power, but it goes against the state constitution. If they refuse to seat the replacement, take them to court. There’s zero downside.
When you overlay Trump’s Truth Social posts pumping up businesses, on top of his stock trades, you see the “for profit” presidency. Details on Substack. Follow me there: open.substack.com/pub/thefrank...
The fear that someone might get away is not a legitimate basis for shooting them! Definitely not for a suspected civil infraction!
When a politician dies, they weren't your friend, you aren't close to their family, they are not owed your polite fictions or any obligation to not speak ill of them. They were public figures who wielded immense power and their death is as good an occasion as any to say what you think of them.
It’s outrageous that a government whose Constitution forbids the “establishment of religion” has been hijacked by Christofascists.
The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. Happy 250, America!
"I could never lend myself to any transaction, however respectable, that would commercialize on the prestige and dignity of the office of the presidency. Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I'll show you a crook." Harry Truman

Fauci needs to sue this man into bankruptcy, if only to dissuade the other inveterate liars of this administration.

Thomas House of Dublin exhibiting the pro-human solidarity that all of us should demonstrate.
The number of people at the Knicks parade today were roughly equal to the combined population of Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Montana & Alaska. So if you heard about any issues in NYC today, but not about any crimes in those states, you know the agenda of that media.
