Supporting a cornerstone of our democracy like 1A takes work & sacrifice (and I use that term loosely, it's canceling a streaming platform, not volunteering for military service).

Imagine not canceling a propaganda TV station in the 1930s because Betty Boop was your children's favorite cartoon.

According to the New York Times, "The text exchange between Mr. Robinson and his partner was reproduced by prosecutors in the charging document."

Reproduced? So no one has seen the actual messages? No screen shots? No time stamps? Also, weren't they on Discord and not SMS? 1/

If I were a Democrat in Congress I'd be introducing legislation to suspend the Supreme Court's upcoming term (it's happened before, in 1802). The suspension would be to give us time to figure out what to do with this dangerous, anti-democratic institution.

This is complete fantasy. Just an absurd made up lie. The EU is not giving Trump “$600 billion to invest anyway I want.” They aren’t giving him 1 dollar to invest. It is just astonishing that a president can go on a financial network and lie like this & it barely registers. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This Democrat Won’t Let Go of the Jeffrey Epstein Case, Either

New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.

I refuse to call an American concentration camp the same thing it calls itself at its attached gift shop

Maybe American journalism should search in the garbage for its self-respect and start taking the same position?

An illustration of a young girl in silhouette with a ponytail, standing against a fiery orange and red background. Over her figure is a handwritten quote in white text that reads: “The wicked become even worse when they are tolerated.” – Tolstoy. The intense backdrop and the child's silhouette create a haunting, powerful visual emphasizing the quote's message about the dangers of complacency toward evil.

YouTube video by neildiamondVEVO Neil Diamond - America (Live At The Greek Theatre / 2012)

We played this over loudspeakers during our Semester at Sea homecoming on deck, coasting under the Golden Gate Bridge in April 1984. It brought tears to 300+ students' eyes with our newfound appreciation of what America represented.

Those memories hit now as a cherished memory of a love long gone.

A TEENY break from the hellscape that is our body politic. Noises Off at ISF was on a comedic par with Broadway's Book of Mormon, while Boise's fireworks timed during the second act lent itself seamlessly to the amusing chaos.

Bravo to some much needed hilarity and uncontrollable laughter tonight.

A South Asian man from Uganda checking two boxes in a college application isn't a scandal. The NYT pulling stolen data from a white supremacist to smear him in support of another candidate is.

Mike Simpson Facebook post: Marking this as a checkpoint for 6 months from now.

Let’s see if any of the stories Hakeem Jeffries is telling about Americans who “will lose Medicaid” actually check out.

He knows what he’s saying is false, and so do the American people.

The One Big Beautiful Bill will strengthen Medicaid for years to come and end taxpayer-funded, free health care for illegals and able-bodied adults.

But here we are: House Democrats are standing with illegals over the most vulnerable Americans who rely on Medicaid.

This shows the degree to which Congressman Mike Simpson is human trash.

The private sector lost 33,000 jobs in June, badly missing expectations for a 100,000 increase, ADP says Economists polled by Dow Jones forecasted an increase of 100,000 for the month.

Breaking: The US lost 33,000 jobs in June. They were expecting to *gain* 100,000.

A Facebook post that says “Fireworks on public lands. 
This weekend, our Intermountain Bird Observatory team was back at Lucky Peak in the Boise River Wildlife Management Area, monitoring breeding songbirds and tracking how birds are recovering after the Valley Fire burned more than 10,000 acres of habitat just eight months ago.
At 2 a.m., we were jolted awake by the unmistakable sound of fireworks. Pops. Crackles. Whooshes. Coming from the parking area. Mere feet from the blackened remains of sagebrush and trees left by the Valley Fire. Right next to a giant sign that says, clearly, NO FIREWORKS.

It’s not even the Fourth of July yet.

North Idaho News on Facebook is reporting an active shooter situation at Canfield Mountain in Kootenai County. I am listening to the ISP scanner, and they said they believe someone intentionally set a fire and shot at responding firefighters. That lines up with what people are saying on FB.
