DHS is delaying millions in already approved North Carolina recovery funds, documents show Communities across the region still need to be reimbursed for about a hundred projects including debris removal, waste water treatment repairs, roads and bridges, damaged buildings and parks, as well ...

The House isn’t doing oversight on this because NC stole 3 seats from the dems in a gerrymander. That doesn’t mean NC deserves this by any means - but only a fool believes in honor among thieves. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

chat (gpt) I don’t think these things are very good for people’s brains

FBI is hunting down the Texas legislators but not anyone in the Epstein files says a lot about the policies of this administration.

there are so many open layups and somehow dems can’t make them. republicans are literally pulling cancer treatment from children and they can’t message on that??? like what the fuck are we doing here

60 years after the Voting Rights Act, voter suppression is still targeting our communities.

That’s why I introduced the SWIFT VOTE Act and the POLL Act. These bills cut the lines, expose the delays, and give folks real power to fight back when states play games with our right to vote.

🇱🇻🇱🇹🇪🇪🇺🇦 The leaders of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia have warned that their countries could become Putin's next target, and have strongly condemned any attempts to pressure Ukraine to cede territory, — FT

.@gtconway.bsky.social on the FBI and the Texas legislators who left the state: "These aren't criminal warrants. There are no procedures for extraditing legislators for failing to show up to make a quorum call." On the other hand, "the law never stopped this administration."

A cartoon drawn by Bruce MacKinnon of the Chronicle Herald in Halifax. Originally drawn some years ago, Bruce couldn’t find a newspaper willing to print it. It depicts Trump in a suit taking a piss towards a fan with a Canadian maple leaf on it. The fan blows the piss back into his fat face. He’s drenched in his own piss. The sign above him reads: HOW TARIFFS WORK.

NEW: Spain cancels plans to buy US-made F-35 fighters, a day after India paused all US military orders.

They join Canada, Denmark, Portugal, Switzerland & Germany in shunning US defense deals.

Swiss leader, Balthasar Glättli: “Those who hurl rocks at us in trade shouldn’t expect gifts in return.”

Another horrific series of press rights abuses tonight at hands of LAPD.

Initial reports are 4 journalists injured (several bleeding), 3 cameras broken, 5 put in zip ties.

All in defiance of state law, a judge's order, and chief's signed order.

LAPD can't police itself. Maybe the judge will.

More details, this officer who had a pregnant wife and 2 young kids could very well have just stood back, but he put himself in harms way to protect others.

RIP

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

We can't afford cancer research.

Mike Johnson hit with new accusation showing ‘clear-cut violation’ of federal law House Speaker Mike Johnson has been accused of using campaign money to pay his rent in what the government watchdog group Campaign Legal Center described as a “clear-cut violation of federal campaign ...

Seems Mike Johnson has been using campaign funds to pay his rent in DC, which is a major legal no no.

"Either their long-term game is there won't be free elections or we'll fix the election or we'll steal it or gerrymander it, or they're perfectly prepared for someone who they disagree with to be able to use those same tools at some point in the future."

I guess the “mortgage fraud” investigation into Tish James went nowhere, so now they’re going for civil rights violations against Trump and the NRA. I imagine that since the courts repeatedly dismissed these arguments during her civil case, this will go nowhere.

This is absolutely right.

The Epstein Files have largely been kept afloat by Trump's own inability to shut up about it, but Democrats should do whatever they can to make sure it doesn't fade away over the summer like they're hoping.

Bring it up on TV, promote victims' stories. Press the attack.

A key detail about Epstein that is missing in reporting about him: what was his legitimate business?

At most, he's vaguely referred to as a "financier". Okay, what did he finance? Was he a fund manager? What were the names of his funds? Where did his money come from? Inheritance? Limited partners?

Bruce Harrell was cruising to an unopposed re-election campaign until he and his corporate backers sent every Seattle voter a mailer prominently featuring his opposition to Prop1A for social housing. It showed the city that he was working against our values AND that his endorsement carried no juice.

So what South Park does, and why it's good because it does that

is that they go after celebs over real shit right

but include something that deeply pricks their ego to provoke them.

Kristi Noem is fine with all that shit BUT MAKE FUN OF MY FAAAAACE

That kind of shit.

Thou shalt not cry about being mocked when you are literally the person in charge of ICE kidnapping people off the street.

the thing to take from Cuomo—a politician who was supposedly invulnerable and had control of every aspect of Albany—having a flailing campaign is that all of these assholes are really paper tigers who only thrive when their opponents are also cowards.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom:

"We are talking about emergency measures to respond to what's happening in Texas, and we will nullify what happens in Texas."

This DeKalb county police officer gave his own life to save the lives of people at the CDC and Emory, making this the only causalty (it appears) instead of dozens. Grateful for this person

The Department of Homeland Security is holding up more than $100 million preapproved dollars intended to help hurricane-battered North Carolina clean up storm damage and fix infrastructure, according to documents obtained by The Post.

People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it!
