Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

BOTH Democratic U.S. Senate candidates should be furious about how this is being handled in Texas.

It benefits one candidate today. But the same chaos that helped them in the primary can absolutely burn them the general.

I want to thank everyone who posts gift articles of really important stories that all Americans should read but are behind paywalls so most can’t.

There are some stories that are so important to the public interest that media companies should remove paywalls on some occasions.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

My MAGA aunt told me the reason young people can’t afford homes is because we are going out too much, and should stay home and eat hot dogs instead. We are sitting in a beach house she inherited from my grandfather, which is her second home. These people are so unserious I can’t.

Massachusetts’ election chief pushes back against Trump’s call to end mail-in voting Secretary of State Bill Galvin says vote-by-mail is effective, popular and secure in Massachusetts.

β€œResponding to [Trump’s] rhetoric is a waste of time. What you do is you go to court, you show by facts, which we do here in Massachusetts,” says MA Secretary of State Bill Galvin re false claims that mail-in voting enables fraud. #mapoli #votingrights www.wgbh.org/news/politic...

Taking photos and video of law enforcement officers performing their duties in public is our constitutional right.

This includes police, FBI, National Guard troops, ICE agents, and other government officials.

Democratic Mayors Association: "Let's be clear: Crime is down in most major cities - including Washington, DC - in spite of Donald Trump, not because of him. If Trump actually cared about reducing crime, he wouldn't have made unprecedented cuts to public safety programs that actually work."

Doesn’t seem like a coincidence to me that 2 days after he removes the WSJ from the press pool, they drop the receipts #realrecognizesreal

Nothing proves that you’re only going after the criminals who are here illegally quite so clearly as abducting people at their legal immigration hearings.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

do not give money to dems who don’t support court reform. don’t vote in primaries for dems who do not support court reform. do not support dem leadership that will not pursue court reform. do not bother with pundits who are not on board with court reform.

The Supreme Court said it was unlawful for the Biden administration to forgive student loans because it lacked congressional authority but has no problem with the Trump administration gutting the entire Department of Education without congressional approval. This is a lawless court.

Donor company contact info

⚠️ Call the campaign donors of these on-the-fence GOP Senators (Murkowski, Collins, Johnson) and tell them to pressure for a no vote.

Money speaks.

Tillis, in the grand tradition of retiring Republicans, is explaining to everyone that Trump sucks actually.

the thing with Mamdani is that he’s obviously an incredible political talent - the campaign he’s run has been extremely impressive even if you don’t like his policies

the party should be delighted, and that they’re instead pulling out all the stops to beat him speaks volumes

And just like that, the β€˜No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
