You needed to hold the party together and you have failed. Nobody gives a crap that you’re voting no when 8 Democrats are voting yes. It’s time for you to pass the baton to a new leader.

A close adviser to the president who has prompted important staffing changes in the security state (and a crazy person)

“Ooh, can you put it on speaker? I want to hear 911 laugh at you.”

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

A word to my brethren in the press corps:

Please notice that nearly all Democrats condemn violence while very few Republicans condemn violence, and please please please do not make these two unequal facts equal.

Law enforcement officers remember police officer killed in CDC shooting in Atlanta Weeks after David Rose was killed while responding to a shooting this month at the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, officers are remembering the DeKalb County police officer as a courageous leader who pri...

You know who was also a young husband and father—not to mention ex-Marine—who died, not attacking others to make himself rich and powerful, but to save the lives of others?

David Rose, the officer killed by the anti-vax domestic terrorist who attacked the CDC.

The FBI right now could probably use all those experienced senior career professionals with decades of investigative experience that they fired for absolutely no reason.

I know political memories are short, but damn! In July, Schiff joined Republicans to pass the industry-friendly crypto bill that allowed Trump to take in more crypto bribes.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment:

"To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

“Fire RFK Jr. now.” Sen. Bernie Sanders wrote in a scathing editorial on Saturday calling for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to resign.

180 shots fired, 150 broken windows. Tumultuous firings and resignations at the CDC. The installation of a techno-optimist with a history of pushing unproven medical treatments.

The month of August 2025 may go down as the worst in the history of the US Health and Human Services Department.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is freed from Tennessee jail so he can rejoin family in Maryland to await trial Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been freed from jail in Tennessee so he can rejoin his family in Maryland while awaiting trial on human smuggling charges.

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been freed from a Tennessee jail so he can rejoin his family in Maryland while awaiting trial.

We have not forgotten.

Victims deserve justice.

Hey folks,

Below is a place to submit your photos of Park signs.

Supposedly they’ll be whitewashed by September 17.

So now is a good time to start taking photos.

Surveillance Company Flock Now Using AI to Report Us to Police if it Thinks Our Movement Patterns Are “Suspicious” | ACLU Company crosses a dangerous line by beginning to offer AI suspicion-generation functions

Surveillance cameras are no longer just recording our comings and goings — they're using AI to decide whether we should be reported to law enforcement.

An algorithm can't be trusted to determine who is a threat.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov: "There ought to be independent commissions in every state. The fact of the matter is that doesn't seem like it's possible. We have to recognize that, even though I'd love to see it for Illinois, we're not going to unilaterally disarm when R states are drawing crazy maps."

Heinous.

JD Vance = Just Does Vacay.

@genefortexas.bsky.social: "We've filed a response to Governor Abbott's filing in the Texas Supreme Court. Our response is basically: 'You are stupid. You filed this in the wrong court. You are not the right person to file it. And you filed it in the wrong way.'"

Please pay attention.

It’s on!

Prices are climbing, and the big question is—how much worse will it get, and when does it stop?

Trump’s tariffs are the highest in nearly 100 years. And the promise of a manufacturing boom is just a hope and a prayer when profitability is tanking.

No one’s going to invest in uncertainty.

The U.S. government is run by Stephen Miller, Laura Loomer, and whatever rando Fox puts on TV when Trump is watching

"how can i make this about me"

Perez: The governor's coordinating the Texas department of public safety with the FBI, the president—this is really the type of coordination that could have been used when Texans needed it during the recent floods.

If you watch one thing today, make it this. These workers are risking their lives to build our cities and getting paid like their time, safety, and dignity don’t matter. They deserve fair pay. They deserve respect.

Sixty years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law - securing health care for millions and saving countless lives. As GOP politicians try to tear them down, it's up to us to protect and expand these programs for Americans who rely on them today and for future generations.

Democrats currently control 32% of Texas' 38 House seats, despite winning 42% of the presidential vote in 2024. If Abbott's gerrymander is successful, Democrats would control just 18% of Texas House seats.

“They beat us for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”
CECOT prisoners say they were forced to drink bath water, denied care, and brutalized daily. Physically, verbally, even medically.

This is torture. And the world is watching.

The Big Beautiful Bill is a Further Ugly Attack on Higher Education - PEN America For the first time in decades, Congress has passed a law that will make higher education less affordable and less accessible for students.
