Of note: they tell you how much it costs for the government to run the free filing system, but they don’t tell you how much it would cost to have a private corporation do it. (Hint: it would cost taxpayers more to have a private corporation do it.)

BREAKING: Federal prosecutors said today they went to a grand jury twice to indict a D.C. woman for assaulting an FBI agent during an arrest by ICE — and were twice rejected. Notably, she faces the same charge as the District's alleged sandwich thrower. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

For the idiots who said the orange felon would never be allowed to become a Dictator in the US, take a look at him literally seizing total control of Washington DC despite no legitimate reason other than to consolidate power and militarize the area he’s in just because he can.
the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

In “Operation Trojan Horse," more than a dozen masked agents can be seen spilling out of a Penske truck in the McArthur Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, chasing after people as they fled. Penske has distanced itself from the raids, citing "improper use of its vehicles." trib.al/2nXgvzz
Air Force service members with 15-18 years of service can be eligible for early retirement. The Trump admin just blocked early retirement for all trans folks in the Air Force leaving them without the lifelong pensions or healthcare they're owed for their service. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Everyone in DC knows that if you want to hide something, announce it on a Friday in August. Better yet, make it nearly impossible to track down. That's exactly what SCOTUS did last week. But the news is too staggering to hide for long: SCOTUS has decided it's time to destroy the Voting Rights Act.
Every time my dad recalls the time he and his family were rounded up and taken out to a New Economic Zone, he always noted how young the guys with guns were—just kids, so eager to prove themselves in their little units, they were always the cruelest.
The Voting Rights Act was signed thanks to the Civil Rights Movement’s work to give voters of color, especially Black voters, the political power we deserve. The Constitution promises us a government by and for the people — the Voting Rights Act brought us closer to this ideal.

Seeing Kamala Harris openly say that the system is broken was so powerful. Just having someone in her position say it so candidly without qualification was beyond powerful.
“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell
I’m joining my colleagues in suing the Trump-Vance administration for obstructing congressional oversight at ICE detention centers, in violation of federal law. When the President oversteps his authority – it's our duty to act, because no one is above the Constitution.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump's EPA is moving to revoke the "endangerment finding," which serves as the legal basis for tackling greenhouse gas emissions. This is what America looked like before environmental protections. We can't go back.
“There is no moral difference between telling people they can have a shower so you can gas them in gas chambers and telling people they can have food so you can shoot them at aid sites. A holocaust is happening right before our eyes and the world is silent.” - Mohamad Safa, PVA rep. to the UN.

FEMA is using our taxes—intended for disaster relief—to build concentration camps. While they shift focus towards creating “more facilities like Florida’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’” they’re failing to support Texas and are intentionally withholding critical relief from states with Democratic governors.
a thin white woman in head to toe lululemon screaming at these thugs makes me think ICE has jumped the shark
There was no vote in the full House. The House Oversight Committee did vote 8-2 to subpoena the unredacted Epstein files from the DOJ. Speaker Johnson adjourned the House in order to avoid a floor vote on the issue.

Abughazaleh: I am from one of those families. I do not want Israeli children to live in fear. And I don't want gazan children to starve to death. And there is no enemy of either state that could want me to wish that or excuse the starvation of children. It is that simple.
The United Nations’ highest court issued a legal opinion stating that nations are obligated to take action against climate change, warning that neglecting this responsibility could breach international law.

In the past when I sat down to write about Israel, I’ve had a moment where I take a deep breath and accept that, as a Jewish woman, it’s going to be difficult. This time, there was no such moment. I wrote about the intentional starvation of Gaza by Israel/US, and the moral imperative to say enough:
Looks like Trump is trying to back-door the state AI regulatory ban that was rejected in the Senate 99-1. From today's release of the AI "action plan": www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Striking. After Texas banned abortion, ER visits for early miscarriage rose 25% and blood transfusions surged 54%. Doctors delayed care like D&Cs out of fear of prosecution. More women nearly bled to death. buff.ly/egXhmm7 #medsky #ObGynsky 🛟🧪
Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends. But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month. See you soon, NYC.
Sources: - The Guardian - “Trump administration to destroy $9.7m in contraceptives rather than send them abroad,” July 18, 2025 Source: State Department confirmation and interviews with aid organizations; reports that contraceptives-primarily IUDs and implants-purchased by USAID are being destroyed.
Cruelty doesn’t seem like a byproduct, it’s the goal. The Trump administration is set to destroy $9.7 million worth of contraceptives instead of sending them to women in need overseas.
My mistake. I did a quick google search which turned up wrong information it seems. Makes more sense that there were more seasons.

12 years ago, Jill Viles sent @propublica.org reporter David Epstein what he calls "the most interesting email I ever received." The subject line: "Woman with muscular dystrophy, Olympic Medalist—same mutation."
NEW: While everyone is focused on Epstein, the RNC continues to try to intimidate state election officials. I predict that this is the predicate to an RNC lawsuit.
The Democratic Party has a mailing list of 10s of millions of people. It could, if it wanted to, send out mailers next week to everyone alerting them to this.
Thank you for speaking up, this is a win! After growing bipartisan pressure, the Trump administration has agreed to release $1.3 billion in previously frozen federal funding for after-school programs across the country.

Rep La Monica is currently facing a longer federal charge for checking the conditions of an immigration camp than the DOJ has recommended for Breonna Taylor
Breonna Taylor should still be here today. Her life mattered. Trump’s DOJ has asked that an officer charged in her murder spend just one day in jail. One day. This is atrocious—it is what injustice and systemic racism looks like.
Still stuck in this stunt
WELL DONE!

Padilla: "If it was only going after dangerous criminals, there would be no debate. I agree with that. But the fact is the vast majority of those being detained are the same people who were deemed essential workers at the end of the first Trump administration during covid. That's a cruel irony"
Breaking news: Federal immigration officers may deport immigrants with as little as six hours’ notice to countries other than their own, even without assurances that the arrivals will be safe from persecution or torture, a top official said.
