Trump: "Caaaameealaaa, Koomaaala, Kamaleeee, Kumalaaaa"

"So, that’s all to say: get comfortable, grab a drink, and smoke ‘em if you got ‘em. This could take a while."

No. The charges are already time barred. Under the relevant statute of limitations, an indictment must be filed within 10 years of the offense, which allegedly occurred on October 5, 2016. This DOJ is out of control.

Judge Furman rules that Maureen Comey's firing violated separation of powers. Orders backpay. Govt's arguments violate 2 centuries of SCOTUS rulings & would "unsettle the equilibrium established by this Nation's constitutional system." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In case facts still matter

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam opened up a Cheesecake Factory" Obama just spoke to an ELECTRIC audience in Ohio, skewering Trump & Hegseth and making the case that while we may be stuck with the same POTUS until 2029, we are not stuck with a spineless do-nothing Congress Highlights:

New: White House attorneys are evaluating whether to issue mass pardons to junior staffers. https://www.washingtonsun.com/whitehouse/white-house-weighing-mass-pardons-for-junior-staff

And I'm the governor of my state 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Donald Trump hasn't even gotten to Election Day and his administration is already trying to stop a state from certifying a result. I don't want to jump to conclusions about where this ends. But this could be the beginning of the admin's effort to meddle in the midterms and we need to pay attention.

As I figured, Acton was telling the truth the whole time, and Vivek Ramaswamy remains the worst person. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

RFK Jr. likes to claim that the current measles outbreak isn’t his fault. Nobody here will be surprised to hear that he is lying again. Under his “leadership”, the CDC didn’t respond to a request to validate a test that could diagnose cases faster. They said they had other priorities.

This week, NIH advisors rebuked RFK for harming #NIH and US science. Sheryl Gay Stolberg reported it. Then RFK posted calling her sources anonymous or corrupt. I'll say this hoping it does good: I'm an NIH scientist, I'm not anonymous, and RFK Jr is destroying NIH. More in attachment:

There's a powerful solution to improve affordability: Unions. Tripling union membership would deliver $7,700 annually to the median worker—or $270,000 over a typical career. Learn more from EPI president @hshierholz.bsky.social & AFL-CIO president @lizshuler.bsky.social: time.com/article/2026...

Withholding a life saving vaccine is about as unethical as you can get when creating study design.

Poverty is a policy decision. Concentrated wealth is a policy decision. Inequality is a policy decision. Economic inequality is not some naturally occurring phenomenon. It is the consequence of choices. One question I always urge my students to ask: who is the market organized for — and why?

Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

golly gee, who could have predicted this? www.thebulwark.com/p/senate-vot...

Several elected officials condemned the attack on Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine, who was beaten and injured by masked Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Levine was treated for broken vertebrae, a broken rib and lacerations throughout her body.

Calling a federal judge histrionic is quite the litigation strategy, let’s see how that works out for them!

NEW: The order to throttle Starlink (Starshield) came from the White House to the Pentagon. I still think Elon was involved, though. He’s currently a Pentagon employee as well www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Hey, here's a random thought: maybe all of us who are Democrats and progressives should pause attacks on each other for the next three weeks and focus on beating Republicans. I promise our arguments will be so much more interesting in January after a blue tsunami.

Do we owe each other anything as members of the same society? This is the first question we have to ask ourselves if we want to understand inequality.

Lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle say they are outraged over reports that the U.S. may have knowingly withheld warnings from Ukraine that could have alerted the country to Russian ballistic missile strikes this week.

Trump: "I didn't go to Congress. Remember Sleepy Joe? 'Oh, if they would give me approval in Congress!' You're not gonna get approval. You just do it. You're the president."

In 1987 Trump visited Moscow. Since then, "He has changed his mind about abortion and crypto, he has supported different political parties, but his dislike of America’s democratic allies and his preference for Russia have remained remarkably consistent." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

A federal judge ordered the Interior Department to temporarily stop cutting down trees at the East Potomac Golf Course and explain why it cut down hundreds over the weekend. https://www.washingtonsun.com/metro/judge-order-east-potomac-tree-removal-holiday-weekend

A law school graduate can’t claim to be a lawyer without being admitted to the bar. For this reason I’ve seen Jim Jordan correct interviewers who call him a lawyer.

“The children who are randomly selected not to receive the birth dose of the vaccine, those who “lost the lottery”, face in their earliest days the risk of contracting hepatitis B, which can cause irreversible lifelong damage.” No words. I am speechless. This violates all ethical boundaries.

300,000 tons isn’t even a day of diesel, lol.

NEW: ICE agent in a high-viz vest holding a rifle at the scene of shooting near the Bronx has a history of allegedly lying, using excessive force, and courts have found his arrests unlawful. @dmehro.bsky.social @awinston.bsky.social, @regret.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-ag...

El-Sayed: "Under Trump and Hegseth, you're seeing extremes that you never would have imagined. The idea that you want to livestream somebody's death for children to watch is truly extreme ... I don't want that to be politics as usual."

There's so much cruelty, suffering, and indifference today. But I still believe that kindness matters. That decency is more common than cruelty. Maybe hope isn't believing everything will be okay? Maybe it's refusing to give up on the possibility that it could be. Sleep well. 😴

Okay so we have a number now: the Onion is officially 6 months ahead of reality.

Sen. Jon Ossoff hammered Rep. Mike Collins, his opponent in the Georgia Senate race, over his connections to staff and family members who have propagated white supremacist views.

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

Ossoff: "If John Lewis were marching today from Selma to Montgomery, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club"

NEW: Judge threatens to order Midway Blitz agents to hand over personal phones for review — after Bovino refuses From @chicago.suntimes.com: chicago.suntimes.com/bearing-the-...

This thing has made me go do a lot of reading tonight, and the Wikipedia page about the last public execution in the United States is well-written. It was Rainey Bethea, a Black man hanged in front of a crowd of 20,000 in 1936, a spectacle which embarrassed Kentucky enough that they ended hangings.

Can't emphasize enough that "Bring Back Public Executions" has long been a fundamental tenet of radical Christian nationalists.

CDC is reviving a study that withholds the hepatitis B birth dose from newborns in Guinea-Bissau. WHO raised serious ethical concerns. And $1.6M is being pulled from global health security to pay for it. Public outcry helped halt it once. We can do it again. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Statistics show that 1 in 2 women in the United States will experience sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime (CO DHS). This is an epidemic & I'm so glad to see artists like Taylor Swift & Addisyn using their platforms to give voice to all women.
