BTW, this morning, some conservatives were cheering Pete Hegseth’s ouster of mainstream publications from the Pentagon, pointing to this operation as proof that the leaks had ended.

They were wrong — it leaked, as things always do!

You can't make it up

MAGA Congressman Derrick Van Orden-a huge supporter of the Big Ugly Bill

Who published this repugnant post cheering the fact that the law would gut Medicaid and SNAP

Is now BEGGING the Democratic governor of his state

To save the very hospitals that he just voted to close

Radon gas is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Central Air and heating systems can still spread radon and its toxic decay particles throughout your house. There are inexpensive test kits available at most big chain home improvement stores. But yes you should get it fixed.

I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.

Article title: Agenda Seeding: How 1960s Black Protests Moved Elites, Public Opinion and Voting Article Abstract How do stigmatized minorities advance agendas when confronted with hostile majorities? Elite theories of influence posit marginal groups exert little power. I propose the concept of agenda seeding to describe how activists use methods like disruption to capture the attention of media and overcome political asymmetries. Further, I hypothesize protest tactics influence how news organizations frame demands. Evaluating black-led protests between 1960 and 1972, I find nonviolent activism, particularly when met with state or vigilante repression, drove media coverage, framing, congressional speech, and public opinion on civil rights. Counties proximate to nonviolent protests saw presidential Democratic vote share increase 1.6–2.5%. Protester-initiated violence, by contrast, helped move news agendas, frames, elite discourse, and public concern toward “social control.” In 1968, using rainfall as an instrument, I find violent protests likely caused a 1.5–7.9% shift among whites toward Republicans and tipped the election. Elites may dominate political communication but hold no monopoly.

I’ve been studying civil rights protests for 20 years. With new mobilization against Trump’s agenda, I’m sharing a thread summarizing my research on how nonviolent & violent actions by 1960s activists and police influenced media, elites, public opinion & voters. 1/ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

On June 6, 2025, the federal government initiated immigration raids across the City of Los Angeles. Protests swiftly followed, and some individuals involved in those protests were unruly and even violent. State and local law enforcement responded. The following day, President Trump ordered that members of the California National Guard be federalized, and thereupon assumed control of those forces. At this early stage of the proceedings, the Court must determine whether the President followed the congressionally mandated procedure for his actions. He did not. His actions were illegal-both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.

JUST IN: Judge Charles Breyer finds that President Trump exceeded the scope of his authority and violated the 10th Amendment by federalizing the California National Guard and orders him to return control to Governor Newsom. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hey Iowa, I’m running to be your next Governor.

We just wanted to keep you all updated estimates are now approaching 4 million. Incredible job pulling this off on a holiday weekend! It was tough to get accurate counts today because small towns showed up in force. Some states had record-breaking turnout we didn’t expect this includes

The freight guys have really started freaking out over the past 48-72 hours:

With futures trading heavily down today, commodities crashing, and the S&P down 13.55% over five days, traders are getting margin calls.

Margin calls can accelerate selloffs and create their own momentum.

Here’s what they are and how they work in both futures and equities markets.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Wow! Updated estimates now put turnout at 2.3 million — and we’re still waiting on reports from coalition members in other areas, with some events yet to begin! If you’re free, come out and join us. Over 1,400 events are planned across the country.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just landed in Hawaii and was asked about the Yemen Signal group chat.

His response was to attack The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, whom Trump has long despised.

Txt STOP to opt out of updates on war plans

The White House, Senate, House of Representatives, plus an additional multitude of Governor and State Assembles...

Even if we say it should have been a full fledged single payer universal healthcare plan instead of just a half measure bandaid?

Makes me so emotional, especially the last guy who clearly was nervous but spoke the words that so many of us are feeling. He seemed to be maybe someone who wasn't previously politically active. Very relatable. All of these videos are so encouraging
