Hochul: "I will put saving democracy as my top priority at any cost. Bc it's under siege. Just like those who put on uniforms to fight battles across the ages. For centuries we stood up & fought. Blood has been shed. This is our moment in to stand up for all we hold dear & not let it be destroyed."

Texas Democrats aren’t running away from anything. They’re fighting, with every tool they have, to save our democracy.

Kudos to each and every one of them for taking this stand. We should be inspired by their courage and reminded that tyranny is only possible if we submit to it.

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

If humanity survives, it will be because we, en masse, up-regulate our empathy. If humanity doesn't survive, it will be because our collective empathy diminishes.

This came out five months ago but new people keep discovering it every few weeks and make it go viral. That's nice and all but the unfortunate part is that we still have no idea whether this guy is still actively working for ICE because ICE won't say.

Exclusive: US diplomats asked if non-whites qualify for Trump refugee program for South Africans In early July, the top official at the U.S. embassy in South Africa reached out to Washington asking for clarification on a contentious U.S. policy: could non-whites apply for a refugee program geared toward white South Africans if they met other requirements?

New details about police activity after lawmaker shootings raise questions about response The Minnesota Star Tribune found that Brooklyn Park police waited more than 60 minutes to enter the Hortman home and that several law enforcement agencies were unaware of the situation for hours.

They waited *more than an hour* to enter the Hortman home after watching Mark Hortman get shot in the doorway

Unbelievably tragic & heartbreaking

And, of course, they publicly congratulated themselves on a great, lifesaving police response when they’d let a lawmaker bleed out. Uvalde is everywhere

Reminder: We don’t need Ghislaine Maxwell to tell us the truthβ€”it’s already buried in DOJ files they could unseal today.
She’s not a witness. She’s a convicted child rapist and sex trafficker.
Blanche isn’t seeking justiceβ€”he’s cutting a deal to keep her quiet.

This means his personal lawyer Todd Blanche is telling Maxwell to talk about Clinton and not about Trump.

Treasury Department files reviewed by Senator Ron Wyden’s staff members show 4,725 wire transfers, adding up to nearly $1.1 billion, associated with just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. Follow. The. Money.

US states to get $608 million from FEMA to build migrant detention centers The Federal Emergency Management Agency is preparing to send $608 million to states to construct immigrant detention centers as part of the Trump administration's push to expand capacity to hold migrants.

The Trump admin has formally unveiled a program to illegally use money Congress passed for sheltering migrants released from immigration custody to instead detain them in state-run prison camps.

They are calling this β€” no joke β€” "shelter in a detention environment." www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Repulsive: "The answer came back days later in an email from Spencer Chretien, the highest-ranking official in the State Department's refugee and migration bureau, saying the program is intended for white people."

While the Department of Justice is meeting in secret with Ghislaine Maxwell to coach her on testimony, it is hiding from us three discs containing court-authorized recordings of her phone calls. [Source: ABC News] That is the REAL evidence. And this is a cover-up.
