🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting. The president lacks the authority to take either step. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
WE'RE ABOUT TO PUT A MEMECOIN OUT 😂
Fatality.
Hilarious, and every single tweet Newsom sends it’s actually the truth that no one dares to say. No one else it’s calling out the lies, and craziness of it all.
“What we are seeing is not merely a “slide toward authoritarianism.” It’s a march toward despotism. And it’s a march whose pace is accelerating.” www.thebulwark.com/p/despotism-...
Of course Trump can’t walk Baltimore. He’s got bone spurs AND cankles!
Dragging that right leg again yesterday.
That was hilarious 😂
In addition to creating a joyous event, Zohran Mamdani just showed the stupidity of Fox News's "Crime is so bad in New York City, people are afraid to go out in the street or take the subway!!!"
He's such a good guy.
We could have had nice things
Why is he on Morning Joe of all places? It baffles me. Why not going to media outlets that are important to Democrats and that Dems actually watch or listen to? 🙄
Exactly! The worst thing you can do to an insecure man is to laugh at him.
THIS is the way 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The early morning raid on John Bolton's house was meant to send a message. Not to Bolton, but to the rest of us: If you are not nice to President Trump, he will bring the full force of the state down upon your life. Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social:
Walmart owners heavily donated to Trump’s campaign. They should be eating up the tariffs since they helped him get elected. They’re getting what they voted for.

NEW: Greystar, which manages nearly 950,000 apartments, has agreed to stop using “anti-competitive” algorithms to suggest rents. ProPublica previously showed how such software lets landlords set rents in a way that could result in cartel-like behavior. By @heathervogell.bsky.social
House Democrats are urging the Department of Homeland Security to mandate that immigration officials clearly identify themselves when conducting arrests. The demand comes in the wake of multiple reports of men impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and assault women.
@neeratanden.bsky.social
South Park wins the internet for their profile pic of Kristi Noem on Twitter X.
Every day I’m inspired by the bravery of these courageous ICE agents.
The fact that the immigrants we've grievously mistreated are still gracious and hopeful should make us even more ashamed.
Missing @jvl.bsky.social this week, but we have @samsteindc.bsky.social! It’s a fun one.
I also didn’t hear outrage when Mike Johnson decided to clock out early, saying Congress wasn’t in session because he didn’t want to vote on releasing the Epstein files. If you’re going to blast people for bailing on their jobs, at least be equal opportunity about it.
More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban. Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.”
Gavin Newsom , Kathy Hochul and JD Pritzker. Yes, we’re democrats. We do the right thing. We’re ethical and do what’s best for this country. BUT it’s past time to fight fire with fire. RESPOND TO THE GOP, TEXAS REPUBLICANS & GREG ABBOTT WITH ACTION, NOT WORDS, or else - accept dictatorship.

"Fox communications show Pirro's executive producer describing her as a reckless maniac who is nuts, promotes conspiracy theories, and should never be on live television." Better make her one of the top prosecutors in the country, then! @timmiller.bsky.social, with @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social:
NEW: My lawsuit against the DOJ for the Epstein training videos has been assigned to Judge Beryl Howell.
@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "As a state rep, I get paid about $600 a month. That's not much to live off of. Many of my colleagues, including myself, we have day jobs that help us pay the bills. And by breaking quorum, we are leaving those day jobs behind... So this decision was not made lightly."
Ghislaine Maxwell, "one of the most depraved and sick child sex traffickers that we've encountered," is now in a "Club Fed type prison," enjoying...goat yoga classes, maybe? If you're saving your outrage, this is a good time to use it. @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social:

Talarico and Texas Dems break quorum to Halt Gerrymandering Vote.
New: Lawmakers only budgeted $40 million of the nearly $800 million that districts say is needed to fix and maintain schools to keep them safe and operating. Gov. Mike Dunleavy then vetoed more than a third of that. By @emilyschwing.bsky.social
Shaun Pinner fought for Ukraine, was captured by Russian forces, tortured, and sentenced to death in a sham trial. He survived—and now he’s fighting for justice for POWs everywhere. I sat down with him for a powerful conversation. Clip and link: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/special-in...
As long as she doesn’t run for president again it’s ok. I voted for her but the majority of the country for whatever reason didn’t like her for president. We need someone new, not afraid to say it like it is, a fighter, otherwise we’re going to end up with President Vance.
News alert, people across the board don’t trust “journalism “ in the US. You’re own by corporate conglomerates that are only interested in making money, that’s why you bent the knee to Trump, period end of the story.
"This more openly combative version of the governor—a man aides say has always felt this way on this issue, and who critics argue has only come around more recently—has won over even some of his past critics." ICYMI @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/its-newsom...
He’s actually pretty good, I saw his whole segments for this week because he’s temporarily hosting the show and it was a riot.
He is really a brilliant comic.
I mean my God what is in those files?
I have talked to a good number of these folks before they left and after and I can tell you everyone, including my wife @katzish.bsky.social (full disclosure), wanted to stay. They loved the @washingtonpost.com, as do I.
Andry Hernandez, a gay makeup artist deported by the U.S. to El Salvador's most notorious prison, arrived home to his family after what he described as "an encounter with torture and death." He said prisoners were beaten, shot with rubber projectiles, held in dark cells, and served rotten food.
NEW: Microsoft says it will no longer use China-based engineers to support the Pentagon. But ProPublica found that the tech giant has relied on its global workforce for years to support other federal clients, including the Justice Department. By @reneedudley.bsky.social
“It was a nightmare.” “(The guards) tortured us physically and psychologically.” “We were like chickens or rats locked up … and they shot us with rubber bullets.” Words from Venezuelan migrants sent to a prison in El Salvador. Unimaginable cruelty. www.cnn.com/2025/07/23/a...
I cannot decide if the @washingtonpost.com is committing journalist suicide on purpose or is just because its management is just so incompetent it does not know it is driving off a cliff. Once again, the @nytimes.com swoops in for the best bits www.politico.com/news/magazin...
Jennifer Freeman, attorney for Epstein accuser Maria Farmer, tells Jen Psaki that no one has reached out as part of the victim notification process in connection with the grand jury materials in the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Colbert comes out swinging. Gonna be a fun 10 months...

Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs”, per a report from Human Rights Watch
The big question looming over late-night TV following the "financial" decision to cancel "The Late Show:" Are TV networks going to keep supporting political satire and free speech at a time when President Trump's campaign of retribution is rattling corporate America?
"I'm a citizen of GTFO"
I think a PBS passport is only 5 dollars a month in my area, much less than the streaming apps, and much better programming. Let’s all throw them some support.
“This is what I'd like to say to Dems: Get mad…be genuinely upset that the attorney general is lying to you.” – @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social
These pathetic moves to take the focus off his Epstein problem are positively syphilitic. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is what fear looks like.
The IRS has yet to share any taxpayer data with DHS, said two people familiar with the matter, but the goal is to launch the system — which would allow ICE to speed up mass deportation efforts — before the end of July. By @williamturton.bsky.social, @chrisbing.bsky.social & Avi Asher-Schapiro
PBS News is not going anywhere. We will continue our work without fear or favor, as we have for nearly five decades on the air. We are profoundly grateful to Viewers Like You for your loyalty and unwavering support.
"I hate calling it an Epstein conspiracy because what happened to these girls was not a conspiracy. women were trafficked, fact, this is a true thing." - @timmiller.bsky.social to @katiecouric.bsky.social
Trump was either lying all along, or he's engaging in a cover-up now. No other choices. @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social on today's Bulwark Podcast:
Happening now, they’re blaring this mix at ICE in LA. I added captions.

So not total obliteration after all?
Why?
Please lets not forget Andry Hernandez Romero, a gay makeup artist who was deported to El Salvador. He came to the US to escape bullying in Venezuela, his homeland . He has committed no crime. His family is unable to contact him. They worry for his safety. So should we all #FreeAndryRomero
Lévy insists Ukrainians are not demoralized and still strongly believe they can win this war—with the right kind of support. That support, he notes, is not simply altruistic.
No lies told here.

Kyle Clark has the best commentaries in the business!!!!.. Would love to see him get a Meet the Press-like show one day..he is the type of journalist who will ask those "hard" questions on both sides of the political spectrum!
Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?
Beshear: "These work requirements really aren't getting people back to work. They are about increasing the paperwork on everybody ... when somebody misses that one box, they are kicked off for six months or more."
I was doubtful that this was going to end the way people were saying it was going to end, but man this is a Telenovela drama! You George, Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway were right on the money.
Lol. I don't give politicians or parties or PACs or dark money groups anything. When I campaigned for Kamala I paid for everything out of my pocket. I wouldn't let them pay for anything. You can hate or like my positions, that's up to you I want my positions to stand or fall on their own merits
Hilarious 😂😂
“Sir, there are families who deserve better than that.”
The age of the AI scraping free-for-all may be coming to an end—at least if Cloudflare gets its way. The IT infrastructure firm has switched to blocking AI crawlers by default for its customers and is moving forward with a Pay Per Crawl program.

ICE just raided our local Home Depot in Orlando. Of course, the masked thugs didn’t pick up any members of MS-13 — just a few hardworking immigrants trying to put food on the table for their families.
For sure she’s a Trumpy…
