I'm old enough to remember when Joe Biden gave a speech at about protecting Democracy at Independence Hall flanked by two Marines - pundits lost their minds & TV networks refused to broadcast it live. Now here we are: a taxpayer funded Trump rally on America's 250th. www.cnbc.com/2026/07/04/t...

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Um, are we aware of this? “The White House and/or President Donald Trump will receive part of the proceeds …” “Additionally, the UFC is offering an enhanced package it is calling a “partner investment,” which has a price unlike any ticket the UFC has ever sold.” - Yahoo Sports

What an absolute mess and a complete disgrace!

Everything has to change. Everything. Do not settle for politicians who want to go back to "normal." "Normal" was the garbage state of existence that allowed all of this evil to take root and thrive. Everything has to change.

The State Department supposedly sent $1.5 billion tax dollars to the Board of Peace slush fund, which is now empty.

“.. four months after its establishment, the board’s financial fund set up by the World Bank has received no money from donors, according to four people familiar with the matter. ‘Zero dollars have been deposited,’ one said.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/5ba3...

yeah, so two things. first, i have been saying for some time that *this* is the message. and that it is a broad one that can fit a large number of concerns. and second, this dude has the juice.

1. I wouldn't take at face value anything a candidate up for reelection says about his future plans for a higher office. 2. He's running. 3. He's going to win. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnj-...

To be clear: any outlet that reports "Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz" without reporting "because they explicitly said the ceasefire must include Lebanon and Israel is continuing to bomb Lebanon" is an outlet you cannot trust.

not only are they not good people, this performative courting of nonexistent integrity is a bizarre waste of everybody's time

Booker: "There are really good people in the Senate on both sides of the aisle, and I have these private conversations with my colleagues about what's wrong. But they're afraid or unwilling to say these things publicly. And that is the crisis that we're in. It's a crisis of conviction."

BREAKING: Epstein survivors are calling for the DOJ acting inspector general to investigate the department’s handling of the release of the Epstein Files. The survivors say, “there has been a troubling pattern of selective redactions.”

I am joining my colleagues in filing articles of impeachment against Secretary Kristi Noem. This is beyond politics. This is beyond partisan lines. This is about our solemn duty to protect the American people, uphold the Constitution, and defend the rule of law.

That’s insane. The better way to approach this is a lifetime ban on Jared polis serving in elective office.

This is what the elites who installed Trump did it for. Not the only reason, but the main one. This is the explicit outcome they were trying to engineer.

The unemployment rate for Black workers soared to 8.3% in November. That's more than double the rate for white workers.

so if you personally pay donald trump you get a fast track to a green card

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

feferg.bsky.social reposted

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag. Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

imagine being so detached from reality that you long for “common ground” with the people destroying your country.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Hakeem Jeffries: "Donald Trump promised that he would lower housing costs on day one. Here's a suggestion for the Trump administration: try to legislate, and maybe we can find common ground in order to get something done for the American people."

This is how I expect Democrats to fight!!

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov

Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.

In the past 36 hours: -USA Credit rating has dropped -Trump has threatened Springsteen, Swift, SCOTUS, and Walmart -Trump has rattled on about groceries -Tornadoes have devastated parts of the US no longer covered by NWS …and I’m supposed to care about Joe Biden’s mental acuity in 2023? GTFOH

Yall.

THREAD: We recently heard that the Trump administration was leaning on the government of Gambia to help Elon Musk. For weeks, our team made phone calls, wrote letters and knocked on folks’ doors to try to confirm it. But we were stuck. So our reporters got on a plane to Banjul. 1/

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

feferg.bsky.social reposted

Demonizing and blocking people fleeing real wars and repression—Syrians, Venezuelans, Rohingya, US Afghan translators, etc.—while bringing in non-persecuted Afrikaners is so on the nose. Americans voted for racist conspiracy theorists heavily influenced by a contingent of rich white South Africans.
