It’s gonna be something ridiculous and infuriating. I have no doubt
I love his voice! Has a great message too
The victim was identified as Keontae. He managed to escape and called his mom from a cornfield an hour away. Thankfully, he did not suffer serious physical injuries, but local leaders say the emotional scars are already heavy—mistrust, fear, and trauma. 4/4 www.wkow.com/news/top-sto...
Local news: If you watch it through, it sounds like the police are referring to this as a “fight.” This wasn’t a fight. It was a race-based attack. On August 16, 2025, a 14 YO Black teen from Platteville, Wisconsin, was attacked by white teens at a party in the town of Pulaski, Iowa County. 3/4
Video shows white teens punching him while yelling racial slurs like “F*** that n up” and “kill that n.”At one point, they shoved him against a meat grinder, then slammed him to the ground and kept beating him. This is not “kids being kids.” This is racial violence in 2025, in Wisconsin. 2/4
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
My step dad is the same way. Always bundled up, he is 80 and has dementia.

I’m not a picky eater but that looks gross. 🤣
He looks amazing!
Omg! This is terrible. What is wrong with people?
It is such a weird statement. Is the first event related to the second one? Something seems off
Americans once assumed their kids would be better off than they were. But business professor Scott Galloway says today's economic policies work to enrich Boomers and steal from younger generations.
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
Yeah, bullshit
Thank you.
I really hope this becomes the black eye it deserves to be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Yay! It’s about time!
Greed
Top of his hand doesn’t look bruised like it has been.
Ugh
Oh wow!
So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.

Just what I was gonna say. Sheesh. They have no clue
DAILY MEMO: Agents Arrest San Bernardino Man 2 Weeks After They Fired Gun Shots at Him @eltragon.bsky.social
Gosh look how big that boy has gotten!
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
These people are dangerous. Why aren’t we all out in the streets!?
My gosh he is so stupid.
🤣
Just unreal
National Guardner? National Park Service workers laid off, and now the National Guard is doing landscaping in DC. Felon Trump really turned soldiers into gardeners.
WASTE! FRAUD! ABUSE! Send the $400 million bill to Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump. 🚨Alligator Alcatraz will be empty within days, according to an email obtained by ABC News.
He needs fired
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
In March, Trump’s OMB quietly took down its apportionment website—hiding how taxpayer dollars are being spent. A court order forcing them to restore that data is a huge transparency win, but it raises a bigger question: what else is the administration hiding?
Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.
Ignorance isn’t harmless...it's a public health hazard. Missouri’s kindergarten vaccination rate has dropped to 90%...below the 95% herd immunity threshold. We’re not just vulnerable...we’re sweating. Dumb f*&^ing people. www.columbiamissourian.com/news/state_n...
Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again
Damn right
The recently selected chair of a North Carolina county Board of Elections was charged for allegedly drugging ice cream from Dairy Queen with MDMA and Cocaine and giving them to his two grandchildren
I feel so sorry for him and his family. This is just horrible.
They just make up random shit. Trump hates wind farms because Scotland put up windmills near his golf course. He is such a vindictive ignorant man.
Yes we do!
That’s not how it works
note how Trump on a daily basis is trying to normalize the idea that he's a dictator
Aww yay!
NEW: Jack Smith’s lawyers write to the Office of Special Counsel to say that they’ve read news reports about an investigation into Jack Smith, but no one has actually reached out. “The predicate for this investigation is imaginary and unfounded.” 1/

The Fed was designed to be insulated from politics to maintain the stability and credibility of our financial system. The President is breaking the law, abusing his power, setting a dangerous precedent, and undermining our economy.
I know you, Chicago — and I know you’re up to the difficult time we have ahead, thanks to this President.

Trump has now fired 50 political appointees across the government who make sure our government runs, including 17 inspectors general who conduct oversight over waste, fraud and abuse.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
Absolutely correct!
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social
I promised Texas would be sued. And I don't bluff. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
What an asinine comment. Something is wrong with you.
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files

This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
So sweet
We thought we had slammed the door on it too once. It creeps up so fast
Tweets don’t feed families. Farmers do. While others chase headlines, I’m chasing cattle and fighting for farmers. Congress needs a real Farm Bill and I’ll get it done. Leadership Matters!

🔥 CALIFORNIA Assemblyman Marc Berman: “I’m worried some of my colleagues from across the aisle are suffering from GAVIN DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”😂
90% of US immigration detention is done by private corporations that have multi–million dollar contracts with ICE. With a clear reliance on these companies, the Trump admin allocated $45 billion to carry out its mass deportation of immigrants.
I feel the same way
BREAKING: The California Assembly just passed the first of three bills aimed at drawing new congressional maps — a Democratic-led effort to counteract Texas Republicans' gerrymandered map.
How friggin stupid
They’re lighting democracy on fire.
Well, you know the streets of DC are truly dangerous if they're letting the president go out at night for a photo op.
Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.

With all due respect 🙏 oh wow, you actually believe that? 🥳 Good job, buddy. ICE agents passing law exams & fitness tests — that’s like believing in the Easter Bunny. Cookies for everyone 🍪👏 #ICE #CD32 #Ahuja
Agreed!
Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

What blue state is stepping up next? Who’s gonna meet this moment with the urgency it deserves? Who wants to be able to tell their kids and grandkids that when everything was on the line, they didn’t just SAY the right things, but DID the right thing with the power they had?
