Blue Democratic Party

I was personally lied to.     The Trump Administration canceled nearly $8 billion in grants, killing projects, jobs, and investments across the country.     Except it wasn’t across the entire country. Just in states that voted against Trump.

Unfortunately, preventing the public from knowing about the death of a Member of Congress is not a standalone federal crime in itself – but actions required to successfully conceal it (such as hiding the body, identity theft, or falsifying official documents) violate multiple federal and state laws.

The foundation of a modern defense force is diverse professionals, strict discipline, and rational crisis management; blindly increasing aggression will only drag the nation into unnecessary conflicts.

Arizona Senator Mark Kelly Is Direct And To The Point, KegsBreath........

“Will Stancil never told anyone they were lying about being poor.” Uh-huh, sure.

Now he's blaming a fire started by an Army vet from NY on immigrants.

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.

He ran unopposed.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to hang out in the middle east while he starts the same war every day. when a missile blasts you into pieces he'll say your last words were "we must build a new ballroom in the white house" before your body is even cold. good luck soldier

ok wait. you’re telling me there are people who think the casting of MATT DAMON in the odyssey is too woke? matt damon. canonical Boston Man matt damon. that matt damon?

This is total vile retribution 😡 This hurts PEOPLE of both parties. Can this go to court???

A sitting FBI Director. Hosted by Russia's spy service. Agenda: blank. Timing: weeks before the midterms. I did the deep dive. It's worse than the headline. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

The investigation’s results come after Warren Buffett declined to make his regular donation to the foundation due to Bill Gates’ ties to Epstein.

You might get sick of hearing this but if he keeps doing it I'm gonna keep saying it: this is an unconstitutional impoundment, violating both Congress' Article I spending authority and the 1974 Impoundment Control act, and immediately impeachable.

Borrowers scored a major victory on Friday after a federal appeals court rejected a challenge to a landmark settlement agreement. Here's what to know.

I’m no doctor, but I do have common sense. A vegetative state is a condition in which a person is completely unconscious and unaware of their surroundings, yet retains basic physiological functions. I think that is the answer. Prove me wrong. www.thedailybeast.com/mitch-mcconn...

Whiskey Pete Hegseth goes to congress hat in hand asking for HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS in additional funding for the military!

Yep. We could bomb Iran every day for the next 10 years and still fail to significantly change the battlefield calculus. I’m obviously no fan of the Iranian regime, but this is why I said we couldn’t win this war with air power alone, and that it was a foolish war to enter.

Mayor Mamdani Is Leading The Way Through His Example,What Is Possible, And Is Letting His Success Speak For Itself. Walking The Walk,Letting Others Talk.......

The man who was supposed to be an all-powerful political force can't get through a state-level endorsement post without stopping to complain about The Lincoln Project. His brain isn't getting sharper. And we're not going anywhere.

NEW: @maxblau.bsky.social spent a year reporting on abuses of farmworkers. It left him wondering: Is there any way to find out whether the produce he buys at the grocery store comes from farms with a record of mistreating workers?

Americans’ attitudes toward data centers have grown increasingly sour in the past six months, our new poll found. 41% of Americans would oppose a data center being built within three miles of where they live, up from 28% in the January survey. 🔗 politi.co/4pxJIyQ

I just didn't see this one coming after yesterday. My heart has been ripped out this morning. Gutted niallharbison.substack.com/p/farewell-b...

Dow futures are climbing in a fit of utter delusion as oil supply disruptions worsen and Houthis threaten Bab Al-Mandab strait.

Russell Vought should be impeached, and Stephen Miller can and should be impeached too. The Constitution does not limit the term “civil officer” to Senate appointed officers.

This state supreme court opinion pulls no punches: “This court does not anchor Hawaiʻi’s due process rights to the federal floor. Especially one that keeps sinking. . . . State constitutionalism makes it easy to consider Roberts Court jurisprudence ‘white noise.’”

if you just went by the headline you might think the author was rehabilitating an egomaniacal white supremacist for no reason other than shock value. not so! it's actually to rewrite the "dems should moderate on wealth taxes and trans rights" article for the 1000th time

Senior living facilities in the U.S. are in distress as immigrant caregivers are pushed out because of Trump administration policies.

"The U.S. has thought that they could achieve a quick victory in Iran. That is clearly not the case," says Marwan Muasher. "The continuation of the war is only hurting the countries of the region, most of whom are U.S. allies." https://to.pbs.org/4ywhc4v

BREAKING: Nancy Mace won’t run for Lindsey Graham’s Senate seat after Trump endorses the late senator’s sister for a full term.

They would rather let someone who may not be able to do the job occupy the position than let go of it, clearly placing partisan interests above those of the nation.

NEW: Fifth Circuit to consider whether the federal ban on firearm possession violates the Commerce Clause. The order came a month after Justice Thomas asked for just such a case. This evening, along with much more, at Law Dork:

Every time I walk into the room and see Mrs. Texas Paul I'm stopped in my tracks and this song starts playing in the back of my mind. youtu.be/9mFrpsyh_JU?...

Cornyn and Tillis in discussions with White House to get Blanche across the finish line

FBI Director Kash Patel is reportedly planning an unusual trip to Russia this October, with stops in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The purpose remains unclear. An FBI director traveling directly into one of America’s biggest adversaries demands serious answers.

We must break open this black box of political patronage, restore transparency to regulatory agencies, and protect fair competition in the media market.

No, because they don't want two costly Senate primaries back-to-back. They don't want GOP infighting if they can prevent it. Meanwhile, there's a golden opportunity here for Democrats to point out the irresponsibility and lack of transparency and national security vulnerability of a cover-up.

Loved the Odyssey, what a triumph of imagination. The main message: don't break the rules of your civilization or it may crash and burn around you

Iowa's long-simmering water problem has finally begun to boil over. And in a state long dominated by Republicans, the motivating power of tainted water and rising cancer rates could give Dems an opening in the midterms. Read our report with @thefern.org👇 politi.co/4fccp0F

They're not even waiting for a new case to take up Thomas's reactionary requests any longer, I guess. I normally think such writings as Higginson's below veer between pointless (to the public) and damaging (within the court), but this might be a scenario when flagging this for the public matters.
