Law requiring ICE agents to show identification struck down by 9th Circuit. - Los Angeles Times 2.
This is another abomination; 9th Circuit Court of Appeals are in #45’s pocket! We The People need to do something; this is unacceptable! Renee Good & Pretti’s lives matter, let our voices be heard!
Trump told you he’d run America like a business.
He is.
It’s called asset stripping. You sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, and walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag.
Congratulations. You didn’t elect a president. You hired a liquidator.
This black-and-white portrait captures Maggie Kuhn (1905–1995), the indomitable founder of the Gray Panthers, an activist group that revolutionized the fight against ageism. Seated in a relaxed yet attentive pose, Kuhn is seen in her later years, radiating a sense of sharp-witted wisdom and gentle defiance. She is dressed in a dark, structured, button-down jacket with a small round collar, featuring a prominent circular political button pinned to her left chest—a hallmark of her lifelong commitment to grassroots organizing. Her silver hair is elegantly swept back, and she wears thin-framed glasses that highlight her keen, observant eyes and a slight, knowing smile. Her hands, weathered by time and adorned with simple rings, rest naturally in her lap, one draped over the arm of what appears to be a patterned chair. The background is softly out of focus, showing a glimpse of indoor foliage and a textured wall, suggesting a television studio or public forum setting where she frequently challenged societal norms. The composition is a medium shot that focuses on her presence as a formidable public figure. The mood is one of dignified strength and intellectual vitality, serving as a powerful visual testament to her legacy as a champion for intergenerational justice and the rights of the elderly.

The more I hear and read about the genocide in Palestine (and now Lebanon?) the more I become determined to never vote for any party who did not oppose this. A red line has been crossed. Believing in nothing other than money and might will destroy democracy and the West. Fuck them all.
The news: “now there are concerns data centers are gonna be attacked”
lol and??? Nobody asked any of us if we wanted data centers built next to our residential neighborhoods. so as far as I’m concerned, maybe you should’ve asked the people first. I hope they all fail. fuck those data centers
Katie Porter just gave a really good answer on whether law enforcement should give English proficiency tests to truck drivers on the side of the road. She dismantled Bianco’s assertion that racism and racial profiling is something people should “get over.”

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.
"Soup fork" 😂😂😂
Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.
This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.
The whole tech sector thing - where if other countries don't subscribe to American tech services, and switch off privacy protection - has been criminal
I’m sick of hearing the phrase “fake news” out of this moronic regime
They’re so stupid it hurts
Washington is pretending to look busy with phony investigations—but don't let them distract you from the cover-up.
The Epstein files remain hidden, and Pam Bondi still hasn’t appeared for questioning.
No hearings. No deposition date. No answers.
HUGE WIN! H.R. 1897 the bill that would have gutted Endangered Species Act protections for threatened and endangered species has been pulled from today’s House floor vote. Your calls and pressure worked. Thank you for speaking up.
Never has a two term President ever whined and complained this much about being the victim of running for President twice.
Rep Garcia: Howard Lutnick has consistently been all over the place when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. He went into business with Epstein. He visited his island. He traveled with Epstein. He has to explain why he has continued to lie and be part of this massive White House coverup.
This president’s voters chose him to protect and dignify women’s sports
They never minded his record of locker room talk
Here is how he chooses to congratulate a women’s sports team
To be this misogynistic, you really have to try
To be this incompetent, you really have to be misogynistic
I just watched Pete Buttigieg on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. It really sucks that the United States is such a judgemental ass country. We could have a level-headed, knowledgeable, intelligent leader who is truly a decent person, but nope, not here. It's just pathetic.

Rep. Massie and I just introduced a bipartisan amendment to strip the pesticide liability shield from the Farm Bill.
If a company’s product makes people sick, it should be held accountable. If states and communities want to create stronger protections, they should have every right to do so.
Christopher Walken says bugs bunny is one of his favorite actors he told Ben Stiller that "a lot of times i've played roles as if I was bugs bunny... but nobody knew"

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028. I love serving the state of Georgia. Let's keep our eyes on the ball, folks. We need to win decisively in Georgia and every battleground state and every competitive US House district this fall."
He is bankrupting our country, just like all his other ventures
We have heard nothing from Pam Bondi or her legal team. She didn't show up for her scheduled deposition, and half of the Epstein files are still unreleased.
We are left with no choice. Contempt charges are coming.
The Epstein Files are trending at #1 again.
Good work, Bluesky! 🦋 👏
I heard a report somewhere that "many" democrats in VA voted against redustricting.
Because "two wrongs don't make a right"
If this is real...and such people actually exist then I'd like to say to those people.
