Tom Cotton would not even be in Congress, were it not for the huge defense contractors supporting him from the beginning and keeping him flush with cash.

Infantino and Trump are close allies. So close, even, that in July, Infantino let Trump keep the Club World Cup’s 24-karat-gold-plated trophy, forcing FIFA to give a replica to the tournament’s actual winning team.

15/ Today we’ve published a deeply reported 5-part series. It’s about Albany, Georgia.

It’s about getting sick in America.

And it’s about what happens when the most powerful institution in town is a hospital.

Exactly what every politician should say. 💙🗽
Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.

Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it.

Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

This has nothing to do with the law, crime or illegal immigration.

It is about racism and ethnic cleansing.
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

The best part is seeing what happens when you give children a joyful way to start their day. They show up energized, confident, and connected. This is what happens when streets feel welcoming and movement is part of the morning routine. #BikeBus

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

When I was younger I looked at what would save me money "right now". And many times these decisions cost me more money in the long run. This is "keeping the poor poorer". As I become more financially secure I started looking at the "long run". Buying solar was one of the decisions. Big hit, save $.
"The action is expected to save consumers about $1,000 off the price of a new car"

So... consumers save a buck off the sticker price of a new car, but in return consumers will pay a lot more in extra fuel consumption than the $1,000 they saved at purchase. This won't save money, it'll cost more.

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead.

Idk, just spitballing here.

Despite a US-brokered ceasefire, the death toll in Gaza has now surpassed 70,000. That is the official death toll. Experts agree the actual death toll (including those buried in the rubble and those who died from lack of access to shelter, medical care, etc) is many times higher.

Kavanaugh should never be allowed to live down the Kavanaugh stop
Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

According to the US Coast Guard, the year prior to Trump changing our policy to summary execution, only 21% of the vessels interdicted by them off the coast of Venezuela suspected of trafficking drugs had drugs on board. The other 79% had nothing. But now we just kill them all.
