oh my god, absorbing this fact...

Greg Price © @greg_price11 - 1h Hunter Biden just went off on the Democratic Party: "Fuck him and everybody around him... George Clooney is not a fucking an actor. He's a brand." "James Carville hasn't won a race in 40 fucking years." "David Axelrod had one success in his political life and that was Barack Obama and that was because of Barack Obama" "The Pod Save America guys were junior fucking speech writers on Barack Obama's Senate staff who have been dining out on the relationship with him making millions." "Anita Dunn has made $40-$50 million off the Democratic Party." "What influence does Jake Tapper have over anything? He has the smallest audience on cable news."

yeah no but also no lies detected

This is so wrong. So very wrong.

Did you know that if NY had kept its original gerrymander for 2024, there’s a very good chance the Dems would have kept the House, giving them leverage to stop the gutting of American state capacity and oversight? You can’t unilaterally disarm in a war, and this is a war.

We want ICE out of our Hospitals.

Hooray for this!

the republican party is a modern day Slave Power and the only way forward for this country is to sweep it into the ash heap of history

Jeffries: "16 members of the House Republican conference who just a few days ago made clear on the record that they will not support devastating cuts to Medicaid -- all we need are 4 Republicans from this group to join us and we can stop these devastating cuts to Medicaid. Join us!"

American fashion designer Willy Chavarria starts his show with a performance dedicated to those illegally detained by ICE.

Americans Must Prepare to Fight for the Citizenship Rights of U.S. Prisoners Trump's Plan to Render U.S. Citizens to Foreign Jails Seeks to Exploit Americans' Disinterest in the Rights of Prisoners

I flagged this in April and have been howling it into the void. Trump wants Black & Latino incarcerated U.S. citizens sent to CECOT in El Salvador, Congo, South Sudan. These are the “homegrown” Trump talked about with the Salvadoran PM.

Please. Take this seriously.

one thing that is important to emphasize at that this is just republican governance at work! this is what happens when you give republicans power in washington!

Supreme Court Not Sure Why You Thought the Equal Protection Clause Meant Anything A law banning healthcare for trans kids does not discriminate against trans kids, and other pearls of wisdom from the country’s sharpest legal minds.

anyway, Dems I promise you that saying the Supreme Court is wrong both legally and morally isn't hard, like I say it basically every day lol

Attacks on Muslims flood mainstream after Mamdani win Openly racist rhetoric has become normalized at the highest levels of American politics.

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent.

Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

This is excellent and exactly matches what we've seen in reporting w construction teams, farm managers, food service, bldg maintenance. Let's not even talk about packing houses

Everyone knows this, except Miller, Noem, Homan, Trump, Congressional GOP. (Actually, they know.)

100% worth watching

Two more patients say they faced questions around citizenship at hospitals in Philly and Abington “I was like, that’s a weird question. … I wasn’t feeling great, and now I have to have my ‘papers’?” said Maria T. Sciarrino, who was questioned about her citizenship at HUP's ER.

This is very bad. cc @dreanyc123.bsky.social share.inquirer.com/TlioRI [gift link]

I'm glad too - you're the best, and you're passing that on!

THEY F*CKING TOOK THE ICE CREAM MAN! The photo says it all.
Masked ICE goons grabbed Enrique Lozano in front of a Culver City, CA church. A Community Coalition helped the family identify the abandoned cart, locate his belongings. For 20 years, loved in the community. "Hardened criminals" - my ass.

That’s why, to my mind, this is the worst decision from the Supreme Court of Trump’s second term so far. Not just in terms of impact—though subjecting thousands of immigrants to torture in foreign countries is ghastly. But also in terms of what signal it sends to the lower courts and the executive branch. The court has indicated that Trump and his allies can flout the law, make a huge mess, run up to the Supreme Court demanding relief when they’re restrained by a judge, and win that relief no matter how egregiously they misbehaved. What incentive remains for this administration to comply with lower court orders at all? I don’t see one.

I am not exaggerating when I say the Supreme Court’s unsigned, unexplained order yesterday is the worst thing it has done since Trump returned to office. And not just on the merits—it’s also an unfathomably dangerous green light for Trump to flout lower court orders. slate.com/news-and-pol...

This is sweet! and a very valiant effort for a bird so often maligned.

I remember all the "united we stand" placards in the windows of shops last time...

Why push for impeachment?

Because politics is an exercise in moving public opinion as much as counting votes in the senate.

The Jan 6 Hearings were not a criminal proceeding against Trump that would end in jail, but they focused public attention.

Performative public investigations matter

Do you get it yet?

Posting this here because hardly any mainstream media outlets will publish it. An ongoing genocide silenced.

This decision is trash and trans people deserve better. Yet again, SCOTUS has ruled to allow politically-motivated bans on access to healthcare that saves lives. No matter what the MAGA justices say, healthcare is a human right and that includes gender-affirming medical care for trans youth.

Make this go viral.
