Twenty-five years after the mayor of New York City became the champion of America's grief and resilience at the time of the 9/11 attacks, families of those killed are split on whether the current mayor should attend the annual remembrance. https://cnn.it/4zkKYdc

Fetterman's brain is Swiss cheese The Trump Administration owns 10% of Intel, gets a 25% cut on Nvidia's chip sales to China, bought 8% of Westinghouse, governance rights to US Steel, the list goes on and on and on
I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win www.huffpost.com/entry/john-f...

Reporting that the FBI continues to abuse FISA Section 702 for warrantless domestic spying "undermines the core case for a straight reauthorization" of the law, says @lizagoitein.bsky.social.

Mississippi teachers will get a far smaller pay raise than expected due to state budget constraints caused by President Trump's cuts to Medicaid in his "Big Beautiful Bill." The Mississippi House and Senate initially passed $5,000 and $6,000 teacher pay raises respectively. Now, it's just $2,000.

This piece also challenges the theory that the failure to indict these Dems shows system working (as @jvl.bsky.social suggests). I agree that in key ways institutional players are putting up vital resistance and I also tend toward optimism. But this level of corruption itself = systemic breakdown.
Appalling: During Trump's effort to indict Dems for the video warning against carrying out illegal orders, one of their lawyers asked prosecutors to say what statute was allegedly violated, I'm told. They failed to name one. Then they tried to indict anyway. New: newrepublic.com/article/2066...

NEW: ProPublica went inside the detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of what comes next.

MUST WATCH: For the past two years, I have been focused on the rise of hate in America. These are just some of the incredible stories that we uncovered in 2025. (Please watch and tell me what you think.) vimeo.com/1145649279

@nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com So do the New York Times and Washington Post who printed columns calling Democrats liars for saying Trump was campaigning on the platform of Project 2025. The least they can do is print a public apology.

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov This gives momentum to David Hoggs activism, and creates momentum to Democrats losing the midterms. You don't need Trump's meddling when your Party pulls shit like this.

@connieschultz.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social Maybe this can be a wakeup call to the current party leaders that their "same old" crap isn't going to win them the midterms, and they get off their asses and make way for new Party Leadership.
Clinton, Clyburn, Summers, Palantir, Bloomberg, NYT, Wall St, AIPAC...all tried their best. The entire establishment went full racist and Islamophobic in the end. Still Mamdani won. Biggest F U to the Democratic Establishment and 1% since AOC win. Wow.
@cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy Can you explain why your anchor lied? Is that you public policy? Lie to curry favor from the Trump Administration? Does the Skydance deal influence the direction of your news operation?
According to the latest WaPo/Schar School poll, Trump’s handling of deportations has 37% approval, 52% disapproval. And Quinnipiac has it at 40% approval, 56% disapproval. But @facethenation.bsky.social insists “public approval is so high on deportation.”

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.
@schumer.senate.gov @kenmartin.bsky.social WTF? No wonder David Hogg wants to primary Democrats in white hoods.
These 75 Democrats joined Republicans to "express gratitude" to ICE agents and call for greater local and state collaboration with ICE. jonathancohn.medium.com/a-tale-of-tw...

Republicans are making their Medicaid cuts even worse, as Trump officials and allies worry the effort to force millions of people off their health insurance plans will be politically “suicidal."
@nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com TheTimes and The Post straight out lied to the public about Trump and Project 2025.
This should be bigger news: ICYMI - Project 2025’s puppet master Russell Vought just replaced Elon as head of DOGE. People still in denial & believe Trump knew nothing about Project 2025, need to explain why he just handed the keys to the whole damn thing to its architect. He is the plan. Wake up.
@jeetheer.bsky.social Hey Jeet. You can Fuck all the way off.
somehow reading this made me even more persuaded that this is more about the resentments and ax grinding of professional commentators than an honest electoral analysis www.thenation.com/article/poli...
