The people blaming scientists are the same people that said science does not exist.

Will the media give even a fraction of the attention to what Donald Trump did say that they gave to what Zohran Mamdani didn’t?

July 3, 2025 And on July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, declaring: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed...

A much needed reminder that we cannot take our democracy, our way of life, and freedoms for granted. It is our duty to preserve it. We The People.

In my lifetime, i cannot recall any other American President who openly hated the other party or urged his devotees to hate their neighbors who voted differently

I almost skipped this because, well, duh. Don't skip it. It does a great job of addressing our current situation without ever saying a word about our current situation. HCR is, as always, outstanding.

I spoke with @ichotiner.bsky.social from @newyorker.com about the consequences of the U.S. strikes on Iran.

Here's my big concern in one paragraph...

newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

VANCE: "Our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change."
 
HEGSETH: "This mission was not and has not been about regime change."
 
RUBIO: Regime change is "certainly not the goal of what we're working on here."
 
TRUMP:

So if you’re confused by Mag Haberman’s latest piece, you should be.

She says Trump was looking at polls... but they were telling him don’t strike.

She says Trump was listening to MAGA influencers... but they were telling him don’t strike.

Trump struck Iran because *he was always going to do so.*

This is brutal. India says Trump is lying about a trade deal and says he also lied about brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan. We are a joke around the world. bsky.app/profile/meid...

Justice Sotomayor dissenting: "The Court … authorizes, without second thought, untold harm to transgender children and the parents and families who love them. Because there is no constitutional justification for that result, I dissent."

Sotomayor: "The majority subjects a law that plainly discriminates on the basis of sex to mere rational-basis review. By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent."

OMG, y’all. ROTFL🤣

It looks like Trump had crowd-size issues again.

What a fantastic way to close #ObamaDay

Please pass it on so others can see what an epic failure he is.

Minnesota lawmaker killed and another injured in 'politically motivated' shootings A Minnesota state lawmaker was killed and another lawmaker was injured in what Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called "targeted political violence." Officials say a manhunt is underway for the suspect in the…

When you normalize political violence by pardoning Jan 6 attackers, can we be surprised when people target public officials? This is not how we resolve our disputes in America.

Trump has not only symbolically condoned political violence, he's *materially enabled it* with the powers of his office by officially pardoning the traitors against America of the January 6th insurrection. Every other unhinged right-wing lunatic can see that and do the math

Veterans are speaking out.

Trump’s use of Troops against Americans isn’t leadership—it’s an abuse of power.

We served the Constitution, not a king, a bully, or a dictator.

Watch and share these powerful words from those who’ve worn the uniform.

Live Updates: Minnesota Lawmaker Is Assassinated in Act of ‘Targeted Political Violence’

Does anyone think these unspeakably evil political assassinations of Democratic lawmakers would’ve occurred without the vicious permission structure erected by Trump, Vance, Rubio, and their MAGAts?

Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark at a dinner last night.

They were killed just hours later when a gunman showed up at their home.

Minnesota assassin identified as 57-year-old Vance Boelter.
He planned to also target Tim Walz, Ilhan Omar, and dozens of other Democratic lawmakers as well as abortion providers. He is still at large.

Learn more about the MN speaker who was assassinated in her home this morning. What a goddamned nightmare.

An anti-free speech death threat is not the same thing as a "stern warning" holy shit get your mouths off the boots

This is the page in the history book where future generations may ask, “Why didn’t more people speak up?" Don’t let this slide.

It appears that we are actively and directly involved in a major conflict between Israel and Iran which is rapidly escalating and the only thing we have heard from the admin is an obviously false denial from the Sec of State and a Truth Social post from the president about peace talks.
