Long Island deserves a Representative who fights for working families and stands up to Trump’s attacks. Meanwhile, Andrew Garbarino can’t even wake up to vote.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Great urgency in reviewing Epstein files. Then silence for three months. Then the July 6 “nothing to see here” memo.
Wonder what they found that led to panicked silence then attempted cover up?

The docs also reveal the number of hours the FBI devoted to the project, which required some agents to work nights and weekends. The FBI paid personnel $851,344 in overtime for working on the Epstein files between March 17 and March 22.

Completely unacceptable but absolutely par for the course in this administration.
EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg
Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

I think immigration makes this country great and I don't care what anyone else thinks.
This is also a place being rhetorically pro-immigration could be good. "I think immigration makes this country great and I don't care what anyone else thinks."

Union forces had suffered some 5,800 casualties but inflicted twice that on the rebels. When a chaplain asked General Thomas whether the dead should be sorted and buried by state in the new military cemetery, the Virginian who stayed loyal replied "Mix 'em up. I'm tired of states' rights.” (21

Simply begging anyone with money opposed to fascism to buy or spin up media platforms instead of lighting tens of millions of dollars on fire on Senate campaigns in states like Kentucky.
We need Dem donors to start fighting back and stop hoping that the propaganda situation will magically improve.

I don't think MAGA is dead but it certainly seems to be in its dying throes, its Blitzkrieg on democracy from earlier this year has stalled out and the internal contradictions of its fragile coalition that is only held together by a shared rapaciousness and cruelty are ensuring its days are numbered

Star Trek is unfortunately boat anchored to a terrible company that does not deserve it.
Yes, I said elsewhere: Paramount is not a strong studio. It has a connection to two stars and one IP: Tom Cruise, Taylor Sheridan, and Star Trek. If you take those away, I can't think of anything it creates that people under 70 watch (all those CBS procedurals your grandparents watch).

There are 50,000 food insecure children in Maine and 2 trans athletes. Every single candidate running for office who can drum up concern about the latter but has nothing to say about the former is telling on themselves. They don’t care about children. Only power. And they’ll hurt kids for it.

Why is it so hard for this man to admit that he got it colossally wrong by putting partisan politics ahead of science, medicine and the health and safety of the people of this country?
Politicians would earn so much more respect if more would openly admit when they get things disastrously wrong.

The thing about Carville's piece is that it's a perfect example of the way centrists can't write literally anything without getting in a few jabs at the left/minorities. It's entirely possible to run on "economic rage," sure. There's no need to go, "And remember what some people on Tumblr said??"

We can quibble about terms but at no point in our drive to economic populism do we toss marginalized groups under the bus. But hey if we don't use Latinx any more, ok whatever I dont think that actually mattered but sure.
The article is called "Out With Woke". He specifically calls for sacrificing all marginalized communities upon the altar of the revered white male. Is that how desperate liberals have gotten for any sort of hollow "win"?
