Thanks for including me, Blue! 🫶💙

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. 🫶

Ghislaine Maxwell's prison emails show she is 'happier' at minimum-security Texas facility Maxwell, a convicted sex offender connected to Jeffrey Epstein, was moved to a less restrictive federal prison this summer. Congress is investigating allegations of special treatment.

It still pisses me off that the women at the prison camp with Ghislaine Maxwell, who are in there for far less serious crimes than she is, are scared to speak out about her for fear of punishment or retaliation. The regime protects and reveres pedophiles.

Thank you, Senators. This is why you’ll continue to have the support of the people.

🔥 @RepJoeNeguse: “Most of 🇺🇸 will find this REPUGNANT. These senators are guaranteeing themselves million-dollar paydays.”

Bipartisan horror at @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn’s greedy money grab snuck inside the funding bill— rewarding themselves for getting investigated.

Economist Stunned By Trump's Latest Wild Claim: ‘Every Word ... Is A Lie’ University of Michigan professor Justin Wolfers said it’s “such a lie that I worry that there’s literally a break with reality inside the man’s mind.”

So Trump has repeatedly said in the past few interviews that because of tariffs “we’re getting $20 trillion.”

Can ONE fucking interviewer ask him, “What the FUCK are you talking about?”!!!!

And ya, all the other stuff is bullshit too….

Robert Reich Trump’s Pay-to-Pardon Scheme

Trump has pardoned Rudy Giuliani and other allies that worked to overturn the 2020 election.

This isn’t the first time Trump has doled out pardons to his supporters. Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NflcWXdV-B0

Fun fact: Zohran Mamdani will never build a $350 million ballroom next to Gracie Mansion.

Funny how when people talk about ‘reforming’ the ECHR, they always mean removing rights from people they don’t like.

"it's always the fault of the migrants. Except when it isn't."

Colin from Portsmouth thinks we should blame immigrants for things before they even happen.

#JamesWatson was, it seems, misogynistic and antisemitic (and ridiculously racist). The brilliant scientist Rosalind Franklin was a Jewish woman who did the work that formed the basis of #Watson’s #NobelPrize.

Rosalind Franklin at her microscope

Raising a glass for Rosalind Franklin tonight. James Watson absolutely did her dirty.

But beware...

Franklin again, in a slightly enigmatic portrait.

Many tellings of her story imply her only involvement was involuntary and without her permission (via the infamous 'Photo 51').

In fact she was MUCH more involved than this, including absolutely bodying one of Watson and Crick's first models because it was chemically inept.

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.

Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

am reminded of the old joke: what did James Watson discover?

Rosalind Franklin’s notes.

Watson was one of those overly glorified scientific thugs who said Black people are less intelligent.

I know all about him. I spent years studying Linus Pauling's work.

He and Watson were big DNA rivals, and if it weren't for Pauling, Watson & Crick would have never solved the structure of DNA.

Private jets go #tax free! Another #billionaire perk and eco disaster. So let’s put put wings on cars for tax exemption …
Watch nice video.

Jonathan Greenblatt is a profligate liar. But we knew that.

I was also born and raised in New York City. I lived there for 33 years. My grandparents were immigrants from what is now Ukraine. Jonathan Greenblatt doesn't speak for me either.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Spanberger, Sherrill, and Mamdani All Win Democrats dominate

Abigail #Spanberger won the #Virginia Governor’s race, Mikie #Sherrill won the #NewJersey Governor’s race, and Zohran #Mamdani is the next Mayor of #NewYorkCity.

In today's 'First Draft' morning newsletter from Zeteo, I counted and debunked at least *17 obvious, brazen lies* that the president told CBS's Norah O'Donnell, and that she just let slide:
