Accountability is long overdue.

Moving on from Kavanaugh Stops to Kavanaugh Shootings.

Unpaid government workers are being fed by World Central Kitchen…let that sink in just how dire things are.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Today-Trump and Musk endorsed Cuomo-Cuomo is the candidate of the billionaires. Mamdani is fighting for affordability for all of us-particularly working families. I disagree with ZM on Israel but I want a Mayor who fights for the strugglers & strivers- not for those who are taking away our freedoms

A reporter needs to ask Trump if Epstein is a democrat hoax why did Prince Andrew lose all his titles and been basically thrown out of the royal family?

If only we had actual journalists who were allowed to question Trump.

If you see any business owners belittling SNAP recipients for accepting government money to get through tough times, maybe look them up on @propublica.org's PPP Loan Tracker to see if they got any of the $793B in bailout money (96% of which was forgiven)

🔥 WATCH: “I don’t regard this as terribly contested.”

Pete takes the “all-in” podcast tech oligarchs to school re: Trump transferring wealth from the bottom to the top… and Chamath quickly changes the subject.

America’s judges are creating a record Trump can’t erase Federal judges across the country are issuing extraordinary warnings as Donald Trump tests the limits of presidential power and pushes the nation toward authoritarianism. In a rare move, Judge Susan Graber urged Americans to “retain faith in our judicial system for just a little longer,” as lower courts work to restrain Trump’s overreach. These judges aren’t just issuing rulings— they’re preserving the factual record at the very moment Trump is trying to erase history, collective memory, and truth itself.

Breaking tradition, judges are now speaking to the public through their rulings to warn of democratic backsliding. As Trump bulldozes history in real time, judges across America are putting the facts into the permanent record– where he can’t touch them. #Velshi

WTF

Johnson steps in after cabinet member suggests both parties are responsible for SNAP More than 40 million Americans who rely on SNAP, also known as food stamps, are at risk of losing benefits over the weekend

Let’s clarify: the GOP is responsible for SNAP benefits NOT being paid when there is a $5B congressional appropriation within the USDA budget to pay SNAP benefits in case of government shut down. The both of these clowns are lying. 🤥

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

House Speaker Mike Johnson signed bill cutting $186B from SNAP in July 2025 Users shared this true claim amid uncertainty regarding whether Americans would receive federal food benefits during the 2025 government shutdown.

It's no coincidence, they targeted SNAP months ago.

He has threatened to annex Canada & Greenland, conduct strikes in Mexico, Venezuela & now Nigeria.

He has orchestrated 50+ extrajudicial killings. No evidence provided for his actions.

He is openly enriching himself and his billionaire donors while waging war against the working class.

The Trump doctrine: don’t rely on America A year on from his re-election, diplomacy is being driven by the personal whims of the president to an extent that is unprecedented in the modern era

Excellent analysis from @gideonrachman.bsky.social. Trump is squandering in record time the incredible political PR and goodwill capital US has accumulated globally over the decades. His successors will have nothing to work with. The damage is impossible to undo.

Fed Risks a Recession if It Doesn’t Cut Rates Rapidly, a Top Official Warns

I thought safety squeeze, but yes.

Why not safety squeeze with second base playing deep?

This is one video I’ve seen circulating about what’s happening in Evanston.

sounds like an anecdote in an ICE training manual.

What Stuart Stevens says is perfectly obvious, and something you will not see reflected in any of the major media coverage.

The peace president is about to start a war.

New York Daily News Flashback: “Ford to City: Drop Dead” In perhaps its most iconic front page, The News hit out at President Ford for saying he would veto any bill calling for a federal bailout of New York City and proposing legislation that would make …

50 years ago today:

15 Republican senators have now joined all 47 members of the Democratic caucus on legislation to extend SNAP benefits during the shutdown.

In all, 62 senators are on this bill.

I say to Majority Leader Thune: Don't let kids go hungry in America. Call a vote on this bill NOW!

Another way to put this: “immigration enforcement officers are breaking the law.”
