It’s astounding that the horrific slaughter of eight children has been brushed aside and quickly forgotten. This event should shake and sicken every American into demanding effective Gun Laws and removal of weapons in Domestic Violence Threats.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
Warren does at one point single out Epstein, but the full question is nuts: Warsh didn’t disclose $100 million hidden behind entities he owns, so are any of those assets owned by the Trump family or the Chinese government, have any of them facilitated money laundering, any set up by Jeffrey Epstein?

There's much more here. It's a good discussion:

PATTY MURRAY: What happened to childcare in this budget?
RFK Jr: Ok, let's talk about childcare then instead of the war

"This all could have been avoided if Trump had just stayed in the JCPOA...but it was Obama’s brainchild, which meant it had to be torn up, simply because Trump is such an insanely insecure and vindictive man."
Important refresher on Iran deal from @mjtoma.bsky.social

🌏 When the media reports on world leaders, they say:
PM Carney stated...
PM Giorgia Meloni stated...
PM Albanese stated...
President Macron stated...
🇺🇲 When media reports on Trump, they always say:
Trump CLAIMED...
The media knows that everything Trump CLAIMS is WITHOUT PROOF

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

This should be front page news. The longer the Iran war goes on, the Trump family gets richer. Corruption at the highest level of government.
The Democrats are doing everything possible to hurt the very strong position we are in with respect to Iran. Despite World War I lasting 4 years, 3 months, and 14 days, World War II lasting 6 years and 1 day, the Korean War lasting 3 years, 1 month, and 2 days, the Vietnam War lasting 19 years, 5 months, and 29 days, and Iraq lasting 8 years, 8 months, and 28 days, they like to say that I promised 6 weeks to defeat Iran, and actually, from the Military standpoint, it was far faster than that, but I’m not going to let them rush the United States into making a Deal that is not as good as it could have been. I read the Fake News saying that I am under “pressure” to make a Deal. THIS IS NOT TRUE! I am under no pressure whatsoever, although, it will all happen, relatively quickly! Time is not my adversary, the only thing that matters is that we finally, after 47 years, straighten out the MESS that other Presidents let happen because they didn’t have the Courage or Foresight to do what had to be done with respect to Iran. We’re in it, and it will be done RIGHT, and we won’t let the Weak and Pathetic Democrats, TRAITORS ALL, who for years have been talking about the Dangers of Iran, and that something has to be done, but now, since I’m the one doing it, belittle the accomplishments of our Military and the Trump Administration. This is being perfectly executed, on the scale of Venezuela, just a bigger, more complex operation. The result will be the same. In my First Term, I built the Greatest Military our Country has ever seen, including adding Space Force. In my Second Term, I am properly and judiciously using our Military to solve problems left to us by others of far less understanding or competence. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump compares his war in Iran to World War 2 and calls Democrats traitors: 'We won’t let the Weak and Pathetic Democrats, TRAITORS ALL, belittle the accomplishments of our Military and the Trump Administration."
A party for Trump. He started the war, threw our money down the toilet and now wants a party to praise himself as he pretends he ended it. The money spent could have paid for the ACA subsidies, SNAP, USAID, so many things. But let’s have party for him.

In 2023, Governor JB Pritzker was joined by Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, advocates, and lawmakers at the Harold Washington Library to sign legislation outlawing book bans in Illinois.
Illinois made history as the first state to outlaw book bans once and for all.
Marginalizing people, ideas, or facts has no place in our state — and they have no place in a democracy.
