Trump Halts Billions in Grants for Democratic Districts During Shutdown (Gift Article) The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

If Democrats need to win the popular vote by six points to take the House, then that is neither a free nor fair election. It would, therefore, be unclear to me how anyone could justify elections as the primary method of political change in America moving forward.

Fuck off

One thing that’s probably getting overlooked here is: these folks are serious about this stuff.

Purity tests is just the Democrat way of calling people woke.

All Kamala Harris had to do to beat Trump was stop being complicit in genocide.

She chose genocide instead.

Stop blaming leftists for refusing to accept that this is in any way okay, and start blaming the actual fucks in power.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

you cannot "abuse" your rights.

civil rights either are protected and real or they are not.

Dang

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

Again, this is not what needs to be done. "Why are you breaking the law & violating the Constitution & your oath of office?" is the question. When he doesn't answer it, the next journalist needs to ask it, & then the next one, & the one after that. Stop giving him & John Thune free passes every day.

This is why the inflatable costumes works so well -- it works the same way calling them "weird" or "creepy" did. It disrupts their narrative, and makes them seem pathetic rather than cool-and-cruel.

Weirdest cope I've ever seen in my life

I've never supported genocide and called it for what it was from the start, please don't try to pass the buck here and assuage your guilt for supporting genocidaires

Miss Major has passed away. We've lost an icon for the ages. Rest in power.

RIP

Missing teen with autism transferred to refugee facility by HPD He is currently being held at an Office for Refugee Resettlement facility.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

Joe Biden acted like he had no influence or power to pressure a settler colony that relies on billions annually from the US (you and me) to thrive, this is entirely his fault

"She Wants to Grab Him:" The Premeditated Detention of Ras Baraka - emptywheel Even before anyone had spoken with Ras Baraka on May 9 at Delaney Hall, someone had decided "she" wanted to "grab" Newark's Mayor.

"She wants to grab him," Ricky Patel said before he had had any exchange w/Ras Baraka. Even after Baraka left the facility, Patel said, "I’m going to place the Mayor in handcuffs. We are arresting the Mayor, per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States."

Genocide is genocide

The lowest of worms

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com I think Netanyahu is terrible and the attacks on Gaza have gone way too far. I also think people like you have cheapened the word "genocide" and toss it around so recklessly that there is no upside in engaging in discussion.

Reminder that this guy fucking sucks, he's said this shit more than once btw, and more recently.

Love the little shoulder shimmy Young gives Donovan Wilson to spring this TD. Works in concert with McMillan faking the dig and gets Wilson way out of sorts

He also was so racist he claimed that Palestinians couldn't be trusted to count their own dead, despite the fact that they've been the most accurate measure of the death toll for years. Funny how these pundits always whitewash his role in mass murder

How much money does it take to sell one’s soul and try to convince the world that the ones committing genocide are the true victims of their own genocide?

How much money does it take to not care about being complicit in the murder of tens of thousands of children? @ritchietorres.bsky.social
