So now congrats to Hector Luis Valdes Cocho, Cuban activist, dissident & gay man, founder of Latinos For Trump.
He used to rally Latinos to vote MAGA, against their own interests-until he was detained by ICE. He'a now being held on criminal charges, pending deportation.

Congratulations to all the runners today at the Chicago Marathon!

I hope you’re taking a moment after crossing the finish line and enjoying all that the best big city in the nation has to offer.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "The president has indicated that he wants to do something about [ACA subsidies], and he wants the government open. Well, we want this fixed and we want the government open. So why is there a problem here?"

"Look at the picture... One of these is a member of a private militia that supports the President and was involved in a violent effort to overturn the election, the other is an agent of the state. Can you tell the difference?" donmoynihan.substack.com/p/purge-merg...

Today Leeds followed our forebears who kicked Oswald Moseley and his Facists out of the city at the Battle of Holbeck Moor and stood up to racism, the far right and said loud and clear”Refugees are welcome here”. This is Leeds

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Every time I hear Pritzker talk it’s like “finally a grownup is speaking”

I hope he runs for national office. The country needs him.

"In an authoritarian context, all journalism will tend toward propaganda unless it is explicitly formulated as anti-authoritarian. Unless an institution is explicitly designed to counter authoritarianism, it will end up aiding the authoritarians."

The Washington Post and CBS News are dying. The Bulwark is the future.

We drink their milkshake.

One of JD Vance’s admitted gurus, Curtis Yarvin, says he’s thinking about fleeing the country because Trump hasn’t dismantled enough of America’s democratic institutions and he fears “vengeance.” Let that sink in when you think about who’s running the country.
