Hearing Trump speak is often like hearing the voices of enslavers echoing down the centuries.

33% of schools in Missouri are only open four days per week because Missouri Republicans have refused to fund public schools for 22 years.

We are already an authoritarian country. We’re not working to prevent it; we’re now working…to get out of it.

Sweden, Denmark, and Norway will jointly provide $500M to fund U.S. weapons for Ukraine under the PURL (Priority Ukraine Requirements List) program, which ensures rapid delivery of key American defense systems, especially for boosting Ukraine’s air defense.

Once again, my fellow nerds, I am begging you to remember that giving into bullies only guarantees they'll be back.

You've got to punch Biff Tannen in the face, McFly, or he'll rule over you forever.

The National Park Service is in disarray The Trump administration is cutting thousands of staff at America’s favourite agency

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.

Phang: Good for Pritzker, good for Hochul, good for Newsom—good for these other Democratic governors who are saying, “You know what? F off.” We’re not going to let people in these other states—people who are under attack and trying to do the right thing for their constituents—go without support

US factory orders fall sharply in June on aircraft orders drop New orders for U.S.-manufactured goods fell in June as commercial aircraft orders plunged, reversing the surge in plane orders that had driven the overall upswing in orders in the prior month.

Who’s Trump going to fire for gathering this data?

Gold is surging, the dollar is tanking, and US factories are being hit like Covid.

But Trump and Repubs wll be dancing away in the new Epstein memorial ballroom.

Robert Garcia: There will be conversations (with Ghislaine Maxwell) that are going to be happening. The idea that we'll protect any of these traffickers is sick. Donald Trump is trying to cover something up. The release of the Epstein Files is so important for justice for these victims.

Absolutely correct.

On our lead story tonight:

I wish the media wd stop comparing the fascist takeover of the U.S. govt to schoolyard bullying.This is not abt 1 kid standing up to a slightly bigger kid by punching them. We need concerted action, strategy, legal action, fundraising, community support. This is the fight of our lives for our lives.

Texas is changing. POC are driving the state’s explosive growth—so Republicans are rigging the maps to lock in power and erase voices. It’s cheating.

Texas deserves maps that reflect the people, not protect the party. Redistricting should serve voters, not those clinging to power.
#MessWithTexas

Before you see a hundred or so posts saying that Texas has issued arrest warrants for the absent Dem legislators, you should be aware that they are civil warrants issued by the House that are not effective outside the state

VOA director Michael Abramowitz, who is leading the legal effort to protect the agency from Trump cuts, says he's been terminated from his role.

BREAKING: Two victims of Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted sex offender, ripped the federal government for appearing to be more concerned with protecting the financier's wealthy friends instead of them. @nicollewallace.bsky.social reports.

Disgusting.

Hi, former Foreign Service Officer here

The Secretary of State might be interested to learn that visa requirements and terms are generally reciprocal. We do it to them, they do it to us.

Taken literally, the nation’s top intelligence official announced — on a right-wing podcast — that my decision to stop posting on Twitter is evidence that I am not “innocent” and am therefore being reviewed by the DOJ, with the aim of holding me “accountable.” www.democracydocket.com/opinion/im-n...

A “Striking” Trend: After Texas Banned Abortion, More Women Nearly Bled to Death During Miscarriage A new ProPublica data analysis adds to the mounting evidence that abortion bans have made the common experience of first-trimester miscarriage far more dangerous.

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban.

Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care.

“This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.”

Damn them for all time for not caring that he’s a child trafficker.
