Republicans control the House.
Republicans control the Senate.
Republicans control the White House.

This is their shutdown.

New Yorker here-real time watching the debate and this is appalling. It’s only on “cable” for an hour and they have, 30 minutes in, not asked one viable question about real issues that are important to New Yorkers.

😂

This is insane. “These people” are Americans.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu:

“Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it is…Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.”

“We are all living in the disorienting present, swept along by currents we don’t control,” Ben Rhodes writes. “And we forget the inconvenience of reality itself: Mr. Trump may be able to escape the consequences of his actions; the rest of us cannot.”

Welcome to Maine JVL!😉

The hysteria is incredible. In my rather “upscale” Brooklyn neighborhood, Mamdani has a lot of support.

Love you JVL and The Bulwark! (And this is from a long term progressive Dem.😂😉)

Really sad and not feeling patriotic in this 4th of July eve.

Ok? Thanks for that? Have a great night.

Shame on @nbcnews.com for not acknowledging that Senator Padilla did verbally identify himself. Another tool of the Trump administration. So disappointed in your new anchor.

I was an EC educator during covid and nobody ever had to “force” a mask on a child. “Gentle reminders” was usually all it took.

He’s a bully-don’t rank him!

Sharing an excerpt of facebook screenshot of Amanda Gailey: As someone who uses Signal every day, I need to explain how totally committed to being an absolute dumbass multiple people had to be in order for this security leak to happen. Okay, so in Signal if you want to talk to multiple people you have to create a group and give it a name, for example "JD Vance Humps His Couch." You then add people from your contacts to the group. If you are a competent user of Signal, you can then restrict the permissions so that only designated admins can add people. If you are an absolute dipshit whose only job qualification is pwning the libs on Twitter, you would create a group about war plans and not know about or activate this functionality. If you are in a group and are allowed to add members, either because you are an admin or because the admin was raised on lead paint milkshakes, you then must do the following to add someone: Click on "JD Vance Humps His Couch" Scroll down to "Add Members." Select one or more people from your phone's contact list. Click "Update" Confirm that yes, you want to add that member. This is impossible to do accidentally. Then, once you have gone through the multi-step process of adding a member, an announcement appears on the screen for literally everyone in the group to see: "JD Vance Has Added Chairry to the Group." This sentence is a line in a single-stream text thread and if anyone is reading their messages they cannot miss it. (If they are not reading their messages, one might wonder why they have been included on the chat to begin with.) At this point, anyone can say in the chat or privately, Hey JD, why are you adding the bedroom-eyed plush chair from Pee-Wee's Playhouse to our chat about your upholstery problem? Yet nobody in the war bro chat said a thing about the new member added to the group.

This is art. 🤗

Just learned that Dr. Seuss drew this in 1941 www.artsy.net/article/arts...

A tiny trump figure in a chair next to a towering Zelensky captures the puny spirit of Trump's cowardice and Russian capitulation.

Clay Bennett nails it.

Hey, friends are facing the loss of jobs, my Ukrainian refugee friends are facing possible deportation, and vulnerable children in Sudan are facing death, but the important thing is evangelicals will be safe from pronouns. What a relief.
