"I'm just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. ... It's like how much more of this can the planet take?"

Thank you to the night shift for your incredible work, tonight and every night.
Mayor Mamdani listens through headphones as a DEP employee demonstrates a leak detection tool.
Mayor Mamdani stands near an open water pipe while DEP employees explain the leak detection process.
For my last stop, a little after 1 AM, I met with the DEP Leak Detection team. They listen to the city’s pipes, block by block, to catch leaks before they become major breaks.
She’s right
Mamdani is allergic to cats, yet he’s getting shots/treatment as he prepares to get 2 of them…he said “transitive power, I love my wife. My wife loves cats, so I love cats.”
He doesn’t HAVE to do any of this. He loves his wife and he WANTS to do this and I think it’s so sweet
What a surprise.
NANCY MACE: What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson?
WALZ: I'm the governor of Minnesota. I'm not here to be a prop for your obsession.
Howard Lutnick continued his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of sex trafficking minors. Then, Lutnick lied about it. Why is he still in our government?
He should be held accountable.
In all seriousness when I read this I first started to laugh and then a split-second later thought, you know, they actually may do this
It's an ever-widening temper tantrum and we're all gonna pay for yet another tax increase that's totally illegal.

Obviously this is who we have always been, that is a given... but the fact that people who did not know that are out here, protesting for the first time, in actual tears?
They have lost complete control of this narrative, man.
So we know there are images of death, physical abuse, and injury in the #EpsteinFiles. Got it.
Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: If there was ever a moment for libertarians and conservatives to step up and join the rest of us, we’re in it. Americans have to unite and stop this descent from a freedom-loving nation into the kind of place where masked, militarized government agents are sent to politically noncompliant areas to roam the streets, terrorize civilians, and deploy violence with impunity.
The time to save people from the gas chambers is before they are in them
The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”
Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen.
Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.
Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out.
Authoritarianism hurts all of us.
It's all illegal. All of it.
The question is who is going to enforce the law?
“Kill someone else!”
After killing an innocent woman in Minneapolis Trump’s ICE goons are roughing up protestors and firing munitions into people’s faces.

There is no legal justification, whatsoever, to use military force against a NATO ally like Greenland.
If any military member participates in this without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.
🚨Trump had US TROOPS ATTEMPT to board a Venezuela-linked oil tanker sailing under a RUSSIAN flag??? Decoy or not, just NO. He is out of control. This CONGRESS is too cowardly to reign in a madman, left AND right. WTF - bat shit crazy is nonpartisan.

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.
Front pages of American newspapers after Jan. 6, 2021, with headlines like "Capitol Chaos," "Assault on Democracy," "Pro-Trump mob storms Capitol."
Five years ago.
Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.
Im in my late 40s, and im just flashing back to every ‘justified’ regime change and invasion for decades, every ‘weapons of mass destruction’ lie, every ‘evil communists’ trope bought and sold by politicians, journalists and people, and all the incredible suffering that followed
Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.”
Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.
From: To: Ce: Subject: GM photo on Bannon phone Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2021 16:30:59 +0000 Attachments: GM_Screenshot_2021-06-11_122815.jpg H I hope you're well! I'm helping out with the responsiveness review for WBTW and I've been looking through Steve Bannon's iPhone 7 on Cellebrite. As I was going through the images from that phone, I found an image of Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell on Bannon's phone (see screenshot from Cellebrite, attached). I discussed with Sunny and we wanted to flag this for you, in case it was of any importance to you, since you are on both cases. Please let me know if you'd like anything further done with this. Thanks so much!
This is interesting:
Someone who was tasked with looking through Steve Bannon's iPhone (I'm guessing from the FBI) found a photo of Trump and Maxwell together
Side note: Sinatra’s mom Natalina “Dolly” Garaventa, a midwife by trade, ran an underground free abortion clinic, chained herself to a fence to fight for women’s suffrage and was an extremely influential organizer for the Democratic Party
www.irishtimes.com/opinion/eamo...
Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.
Yesterday, Trump posted nearly 200 times, relentlessly pushing conspiracy theories. That’s not the behavior of someone who had a good Christmas.
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we
have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.
We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn
