Feel like its a bad sign about the health of the republic that Pritzker has to talk about TX Dems like they’re the Polish government-in-exile in London

NEW: We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

ICE claims officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

You can judge for yourself.

Trump says Jeffrey Epstein 'stole' Virginia Giuffre from him when she worked at Mar-a-Lago spa "He took people that worked for me. And I told him don’t do it anymore. And he did it," Trump told reporters.

Enough, America. This is not someone with good judgement or even good instincts, let alone good government. He is an abuser - of women, of children, of elderly, of the most vulnerable people - and he’s admitted it again and again. It’s time for Trump’s removal.

Faculty Support of George Mason’s President Draws Federal Investigation

Faculty who wrote to defend their president and object to a DOJ investigation of their university...are now being investigated by the DOJ.
The most banal defense of free speech and academic freedom will trigger the full wrath of the US government now.

As I reported earlier this year at @motherjones.com, Russell Vought's daughter has benefited immensely from NIH research, and her condition (cystic fibrosis) has received more research funding than most rare diseases. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I don’t want the NIH to be fucking profitable, I want it to cure cancer and Alzheimer’s

The most interesting fact about Hulk Hogan is that as a kid in France, Andre the Giant sometimes got driven to school by playwright Samuel Beckett

There are, by my count, 8 features on Ozzy Osbourne on the New York Times Arts page.

"The bill provides that funding in the form of reimbursements to local and state law enforcement whenever Trump travels to his properties ... Those local agencies have been reimbursed in the past, but not nearly by the extraordinary amount the new law allocates."

"We had to bend over and eat ... like dogs."

"Many [immigrants we]re arrested ... by third-party private contractors who have no lawful authority to make immigration arrests."

Immigrants generally commit fewer crimes than US citizens

They’re also extremely productive-and therefore helpful to the economy

So by attacking immigrants who had no criminal record Trump was directly harming America

Which leaves one question-why do it

One response seems fairly obvious

Racism

"I am left to wonder how the world ... would have reacted if a Nazi had absurdly referred to Auschwitz as a 'resort.'"

We are starving My body is breaking down. My mother is collapsing from exhaustion. My cousin cheats death every day for a morsel of aid.

"I am so hungry."

"Today I crawled on my hands and knees through a crowd of thousands."

"I had to collect whatever had fallen to the ground — lentils, rice, chickpeas, pasta, even salt. My bones ache from being stepped on, but I have to do it for my children."

I hate these kinds of headlines so much

Extraordinary cross-border collaborative reporting reveals harrowing details about the people sent to the prison in El Salvador.

AI has made the world so much shittier in less than a year, even if you don’t want to use it.

Paramount agrees to pay $16 million to settle Trump's CBS lawsuit Paramount Global will pay $16 million to settle President Trump's lawsuit over 60 Minutes' interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris — a lawsuit that many legal experts considered spurious.

Stephen Colbert was right — this is a “big fat bribe.”

The Emmy that Stephen Colbert is now inevitably going to win in September should be quite a moment. The ceremony will be airing on, you guessed it, CBS.

SHARI REDSTONE TO TRUMP: "Here, take Colbert's money. Can we have that merger now please?"

It won't just be Colbert. The Daily Show is next.

Colbert was the the highest rated late night show host. The message is: Emmy's, ratings, and name recognition won't save you. You criticize the oligarchs and this administration, your show is done.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

What if cancelling Colbert was part of the settlement deal with cbs

The story about Colbert being cancelled because…. Trump doesn’t like him, should be a warning shot to everyone. The oligarchy has the power… they will use their money to silence you.

Time to rise up.

Trump sued Paramount for $20B.

Paramount settled for $16M.

Stephen Colbert called the settlement a 'big fat bribe.'

Paramount ended The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

Big fat bribe indeed.

Exclusive: Longtime critic Sen. Warren defends Fed in White House attacks Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is among the central bank's most consistent critics.

Nobody is fooled by President Trump and Republicans' sudden interest in building renovations — it's clear pretext to fire Fed Chair Powell.
