Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Home Missouri needs you. Join the movement.

I crowdfund for Missouri Democratic State Rep and State Senate candidates because that is the way we make change at the state level that will help at the federal level.

My goal is to fund the nominees in every district. Even the red and rural districts. You can help us. Join us.

The way the government are reacting over Sally Rooney’s support for Palestine Action is just the latest example of the UK not being over the fact Ireland has been independent for a century. To them, we are still ignorant yokels incapable of autonomy and independent thought who need to know our place

Conan O’Brien Says Late-Night TV Is Doomed O’Brien says the format is dying, but voices like Stephen Colbert will find new life elsewhere.

β€œPeople like Stephen Colbert are too talented, and too essential, to go away,” Conan O’Brien said. β€œIt’s not going to happen. He’s not going anywhere. Stephen is going to evolve and shine brighter than ever in a new format that he controls completely.”

You're not suggesting that the president is running a protection racket.

Back in my natural element. Close your eyes and feel and hear the serenity that the water produces. Shut out all the other noise and ground yourself!!

Sally Rooney: I support Palestine Action. If this makes me a β€˜supporter of terror’ under UK law, so be it I would happily publish this statement in a UK newspaper – but that would now be illegal

Not sure Zelenskyy should commit to paying $100bn to the US for security garauntees until he's shopped around and seen if protection is being offered at a more affordable price by other players in the space such as the Cosa Nostra, the Crips or the Triads.

I'll believe it when it actually happens. Until then, it's just more Bondi BS.

Proof that Newsom is getting under their skin. These people lack all self-awareness.

And yet… Putin signed into Russian law in 2020 to allow mail-in and internet voting. πŸ€”

Putin β€œwants to make a deal for me,” implying the Russian leader prefers him personally as a partner. Put simply, Trump shrugged off elections as optional and cast himself as Putin’s chosen dealmaker proof that in his world, democracy is expendable but his ego is not.

Ouch.

Elise Stefanik didn’t just get booed onceβ€”she was booed off the stage twice in her own district.

She’s blaming the β€œfar left”, but that won’t save her. The truth is, Republicans at home aren’t happy with her either.
