The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence.

For an actual public servant.

Who we choose to hold a moment of silence for and who we do not are silences that speak volumes.

"There has just never been a president in recent American history who has gone out of his way to free more criminals and accommodate more crimes than Donald Trump," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social.

American Companies Are Buying Their Own Stocks at a Record Pace Buybacks are expected to top $1.1 trillion in 2025, led by big banks and tech firms

Buybacks are expected to top $1.1T in 2025

When you cut their taxes, they buy back their stocks so they can own more

It's how they can increase their stock price w/o actually having to grow a business

As Charlie Munger said, “It's completely immoral & dishonest, but other than that, it's fine"

Newsflash, Wannabe Dictator:

I don’t care how many times you shake the Etch A Sketch trying to redraw these lines. I’m not disappearing.

I’ll be back, still on your behind every step of the way. (1/2)

Fleeing Texas was the only way Democrats could block Trump’s plan to rig the midterms “The Republican members have outsourced our democracy to Mar-a-Lago”

Re-gerrymandering a state to rig an election & then threatening to arrest and expel the members protesting that election rigging is pure authoritarianism

Texas Dems who fled state are fighting for very survival of American democracy www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

More of this, please.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

SNAP alleviates poverty.
SNAP helps our kids in school.
SNAP greatly improves health care outcomes.
SNAP is crucial to local economies.

Make no mistake, Illinois is working to mitigate the impacts of these cuts.

I just witnessed a man dragged onto this bus after a judge did not let him explain how deportation could be a death sentence for him.
And it's happening here.

What I saw today in San Antonio immigration courts was horrifying. Everyone's right to due process is under attack.

Congressman Greg Casar

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He's caught red handed. He's in the files. We know it. Period. He's part of this cover up... You reap what you sow. He created this. He weaponized it. He's done it from the birth certificate on down... Too cute by half, and now he's caught."

This is a human rights violation.

Multiple detainees described a disturbing incident where dozens of men were forced to eat food they had been denied all day while shackled.

“We had to bend over and eat off the chairs with our mouths, like dogs,” — from a new Human Rights Watch report.

Pause for three minutes and soak up the grace of this man.

Earlier today, the father of three U.S. Marines, Narciso Barranco, spoke publicly for the first time after being pinned to the ground and savagely punched by ICE agents while they arrested the landscaper outside the IHOP where he worked.

This is a great explanation for the question “why are white men so angry?” I haven’t heard someone explain it so clearly.

American Teachers in Red States Are Walking Away for Good The predictable consequences of the right wing’s war on public schools are being felt as educators leave their communities—and their profession.

Trump's America, where even teachers in red states are fleeing.

“In the last school year, schools opened with an estimated 55,000 teaching vacancies. States like Utah, Nevada, Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida were the hardest hit, with Arizona leading at less than 44 teachers per 1,000 students.”

DeSantis is heckled at an event today

WATCH: “The current system is broken. Indiscriminate raids are tearing families apart and punishing hardworking people.”

1 of 3 marine sons of a landscaper viciously beaten by ICE testifies before Congress.

Kelly: And there are a lot of people in D.C. who’ve forgotten what this symbol truly means.

So I promise you—we will remind you every day.

You say you stand with veterans—then how can you justify the cuts you’ve made at the VA?

Next up: sue this administration!

A disabled vet says he was wrongfully detained in last week’s Camarillo raid, despite being a U.S. citizen.

• Reporting for his security job at Glass House Farms
• Told them he was a citizen
• No charges. No phone call. No lawyer.
• No care after chemical exposure

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

So much for that “line.”

Crockett: Earlier someone was talking about cities being hellholes. Los Angeles contributes almost 20 billion in taxes. That’s more than all states in this country except for four.

And by the way — while many of us were there yesterday thanking these public servants, you know who didn’t have the guts to show his face?

Marco Rubio.

He didn’t even have the decency to be at the State Department as these American patriots were shown the door. Cowardice.

Marines and DHS arrest anti-ICE protester after children were spotted in chains at the federal detention center in LA

Ossoff: Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?

Khalen Saunders is right: Our community needs safe and affirming spaces because we belong. Period!
