If you are an elected official that opposes military strikes on Iran, the head of CBS News will clap back at you. Will be interesting to see if she does this for other objectors, or just Muslim politicians, but it does raise the question how much her views of the Middle East shape the news.

ICE must be abolished and everyone responsible for this decision making process, as well as those who carried out the orders, charged and prosecuted with severe jail time. This is a CLEARCUT violation of the Fourth Amendment, and shows a complete contempt for our Constitution and the rule of law

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

Incredible. Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

@austinwitherspoon.com started seeing an issue w/BlueNotify today - every time it kicks over to the BlueSky app, it shows this:

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

As somebody raised in this world, I’ll never forget the incredibly annoying sound of his voice.

Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

@phoenix.tapbots.com any update on beta and/or launch?

Gonna continue spreading this post all week, and probably for the next few years #Superman

the Senate's small-state ultra-bias is never more maddening than when one senator uses it to get benefits for her 740,000 constituents while openly acknowledging the bill she's supporting will harm the nation's 339 million other residents.

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

There will only be one Glade.

A group aiming to create a physicians union characterized UH’s employment actions against Drs. Lauren Beene and Valerie Fouts-Fowler as “unlawful punishment” for their efforts to organize UH physicians and advocate for patients.

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? You’re kidding.

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention. 22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

"We cannot build bananas in America" is an all timer

NEWS: Sen. Ossoff and Sen. Mark Kelly reintroduced their Ban Congressional Stock Trading Act. Repost if you agree it's time to BAN stock trading by members of Congress.

House Republicans passed their bill that’d rip health insurance from millions and take food assistance away from millions including households with kids as young as 7 in the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in history - while giving giant tax cuts to the rich. Thread on the next steps of the process.

Same.

Hey guys, turning us into the Soviet Union is already creep enough on its own. You can cool it with the weird doll talk. Please.

This is so darkly accurate

There will be many super important moments ahead as we fight back against the oligarchy and fascism … this is one of them. This will mark a “this is not normal” moment for a lot of folks we need at our side and aide.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND A SUPERSTATUTE AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNDO IT. sincerely, a constitutional law professor who also teaches employment discrimination

University of #Toledo is ending a huge number of programs out of fear of SB 1. An absolute slaughter. Every corner of my hometown will feel the impact #Ohio's Republican politicians passed this bill. Don't let anyone forget it news.utoledo.edu/index.php/04...

A 19-year old U.S. citizen was traveling from Albuquerque to Tucson. He was arrested and detained by ICE for 10 days, before his family showed a judge his identification & he was finally released. news.azpm.org/p/news-artic...

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

Never forget.

The cruelty is the point.

BREAKING: Trump's billionaire Commerce Secretary says that seniors won't care if they don't get their Social Security checks — and that anyone who does complain is a fraudster.

Jessica: When I hear Republicans out there talking about their plan for education in America, I don't hear them talking about making sure disabled kids have access to a public education. Greg: Because we're against it.

Republicans inherited one of the strongest stock markets in history and in 1 month they've fucked it all up.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.
