If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

James Tallerico goes after Elon Musk on Twitter. 👌

Smart move 👇

The State Department has asked some foreign service officials up for promotion who they voted for in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 presidential elections, raising concerns the agency is violating a federal law that bars politicized personnel decisions within the nonpartisan ranks.

🇺🇦💔 Zelensky: Bucha. This is genocide, recognized by everyone. They buried hundreds of people, tortured them. We found a grave where there were about five hundred people. When we deoccupied these towns around Kyiv, hatred for “Russians” appeared. It was at this moment.

Wow — 🔥 Neil Bush: “I voted for @jamestalarico.bsky.social… Trump and those who have enabled him have done enormous damage to the Republican Party… Character matters more than party affiliation.”

Dems, time to focus on fighting fascism. If you're a centrist and you have an issue with progressives, a progressive who has an issue with centrists, a pro-Israel Dem who has an issue with critics, or anyone else inclined to slow our pace to a big victory in November, have a seat, save it for later.

For you youngs who weren't alive for this: Understand that the Chicks were an early rollout of the far right intimidation that we see targeting judges, members of Congress, and ICE protestors now.

Give it up for San Francisco, y’all! 🔥🔥🔥

Milk so aged it could itself be a weapon. '94 President Clinton praises Ukraine’s courageous decision to surrender its nuclear arsenal, pledging full US support for its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity. He also considers it unlikely that russia would ever attempt to seize Crimea.

My new book—HOW RUSSIA WON: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and the Fight for America—is now out. It's the full story of Putin's decade-long clandestine attack on the US to aid Trump & Trump's complicity in this assault. See this video narrated by Nick Offerman.

Factcheck of Trump’s (Putin’s???) lies about Ukraine.

Trump's October Surprise: Making the US a satellite of Russia. (Just like the old USSR...but with more golf.)

Please everyone call your reps about this. Most of them don't like it either, but they may think you don't care.

Is Trump is using you as a scapegoat for his own problem? Zelensky: [Smiles] "This is my answer."

Real wages are shrinking year-over-year for the sixth month in a row. The Iran War brought an end to three years of real wage growth.

Someone just left this sweet kitten on my doorstep, but I'm allergic! 😭 Does anyone in Brooklyn want to foster a kitten? Seems to be about 4 months old, clean and well-cared for, and very docile.

First, Rudy Giuliani booked Four Seasons Total Landscaping. Then Senator Schmitt confused the Atlanta Hawks with the Iowa Hawkeyes. Now a GOP super PAC spent $25,000 campaigning in the wrong Portland. These people want to redraw America's borders but can't find the places on a map.

SOMEBODY EXPLAIN HOW THIS MAN STILL HAS A JOB? Brenden Cuni, the same ICE agent seen on video brandishing a rifle at the scene of the shooting in NY, where officers shot an unarmed man in front of his 5-year-old child, was also filmed kneeling on a pregnant woman in Minneapolis last December.

Signs you’re a war criminal: You attack the court that goes after war criminals

We went from sanctioning Russian oil to buying it in three weeks. Instead of ending his disastrous war in Iran, Trump is now funding Russia's war in Ukraine. We used to hold dictators and autocrats accountable. Now our president negotiated a deal to fund Putin's unjust war.

🚨 THEY’VE SEEN ENOUGH: Trump rallygoers in Syracuse start leaving early while he’s still speaking

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

IMO, This is the whole ballgame. Money corrupts absolutely. Josh Turek: "We need to have campaign finance reform to get dark money out of politics. I want to sponsor a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. We can have oligarchy or we can have democracy. We can't have both."

We are watching in slow motion the things that happen before ethnic cleansing happens. People get that, right?

America, they are trying to desensitize you to violence. They want us to dehumanize one another so we become numb to their attacks on our liberty. They wish to normalize total state control thru visual terror. Attention is currency. Don’t invest it in evil. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

7 shots fired. 4 pm in afternoon. At a car with 5-year old in it. Can’t use deadly force except in response to imminent threat of death of serious bodily injury. As in, from what we know, a blatantly illegal shooting. That’s without regard to victim’s criminal record. 7 Shots Fired.

🗣️Ex FTC Chair Lina Khan on A.I. Regulation: “The idea that just because we have new technological capabilities there’s some blanket exemption from the laws on the books is totally laughable.”

Tomorrow, on October 1, the biggest transfer of wealth from the working class to the wealthy hits a critical milestone. Many of the provisions from the Big Ugly Bill will go into effect, harming hundreds of thousands of Michiganders in order to create tax cuts for the richest people in America.

O barbarous and bloody spectacle!

Embarrassed that it took me this long to pay up. I've been relying on Aaron since 2020. Anyone who doesn't follow him literally cannot understand who Trump is. Posting to encourage anyone else who's been putting off becoming a paid subscriber.

A sea turtle has made its nest on the West Coast for the first time on record, laying eggs on a Southern California beach. The turtles are usually found in tropical waters, but a warming ocean by California has led to more unusual animal sightings. https://wapo.st/4hl5wtJ

Why is economic sentiment so low when GDP growth is positive? There’s no reasonable explanation, the only possible conclusion is that people are all just doing a mass hysteria (/s)
