ICE is targeting delivery drivers in DC, and MPD is helping them. 📌 ICE is not police 📌 DC law requires uniformed officers to show their badge and nameplate while on duty And Uber needs to do better by its drivers!

In today's least-shocking news that we all knew before, Fox staff and producers all along the election wasn't stolen in 2020 and lied for ratings. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/fac...
A beatdown in broad daylight was caught on video: Masked men in tactical vests grappled, tased, and piled onto a delivery worker. Pinning the worker face down on the pavement, agents tased him again and punched him repeatedly in the head.
Womp womp
Russian tanks are now flying the American flag. Disgraceful.
94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet. The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year. Something has gone terribly wrong.

Today should have been Arman Momand’s first day back at school. Instead, he’s detained at the Farmville Detention Center by ICE and faces deportation back to the Taliban-led country his family had to flee after his father assisted the U.S. military in Afghanistan.

Fun fact: John Dougan, a former Palm Beach County Sheriff's Deputy, has the only known copy of the full video archives seized from Epstein's house. He is also one of only 4 people ever granted asylum to Moscow, where he now resides.
ALERT: For the first time in the history of the survey, the Office of Personnel Management is CANCELLING the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS). They don’t want you to know how they’re treating federal workers. I really want to create a shadow FEVS…

SAN BERNARDINO, CA: Trump’s Gestapo shoots at a family that fled when they refused to ID themselves and smashed the family’s windows. (Last week they chased a man from Home Depot onto the 210 freeway and he was struck and killed: www.latimes.com/california/s...)
Masked men jumped a San Bernardino family in unmarked cars, opened fire, and shattered their truck windows—all while the family was just coming home from work. The feds later admitted it was CBP, but the family says the agents never showed warrants or IDs.
An incredible moment at tonight's Washington Spirit home game at Audi Field, as the crowd erupts in a "FREE DC" chant.
Newsom slams Trump after troops lay out red carpet for Putin. www.thedailybeast.com/gavin-newsom...
BRENNAN: If Putin will be offered land he has not seized yet, doesn't this set a bad precedent that the US now accepts it's okay to seize land by force? RUBIO: Putin has already seized land by force B: Are you demanding withdrawal? R: Territories will have to be discussed. That's just a fact.
The DOJ sandwich thrower as it turns out is a much decorated active duty staff Sergeant in the Marines. He identified himself immediately and offered to self surrender to the felony charge, but they sent 20 officers to arrest him. What a debacle it would be if the grand jury declines to indict.
🔴 YES ! let this sink in ‼️🐥
Trump’s disrespect for veterans and their families, which began long ago with his trash-talking John McCain, continues with this rampage of union-busting and deception. Congress must stop Trump’s attack on VA workers, many of them vets and all of them serving veterans.
NEW: An investigation by ProPublica and @texastribune.org found more than 60 instances of nepotism, self-dealing and conflicts of interest among 27 private schools that likely would have violated state laws had the schools been public. By Lexi Churchill and @emsimani.bsky.social
A core #Brexit promise was that the UK would save £350m/week. Money which, according to Boris Johnson, would go to the NHS. At the time (2016), Sarah Nobles set up a website to track how much Johnson owes the NHS. It's still online. The NHS never saw a penny.
absolutely savage
The SEC once considered stock buybacks to be illegal stock manipulation. But under President Reagan, stock buybacks were made legal. Now, instead of investing profits into people, corporations use stock buybacks (at record levels) to line the pockets of wealthy shareholders.
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.
Reporter: You said it’s guns on the street that’s causing this problem. Are you concerned that the DOJ’s funding cuts to gun violence prevention programs undermine the— Pirro: Oh stop it!
A temporary win! A federal judge in California has sided with a group of states, issuing an order that temporarily stops the Department of Health and Human Services from providing Medicaid recipient data to the Department of Homeland Security for immigration enforcement purposes.
Fanone: There’s absolutely no legitimate justification for the way that many of these agents are behaving and the military-style show of force. If we ever do right this ship, this organization has lost all credibility. I would hope we would completely abolish ICE.
She's also the only child rapist in history to be moved to a minimum security camp with potential work release one week after meeting with the Deputy Attorney General.
NEW: In addition to her sex offender waiver, Ghislaine Maxwell has an “out” designation that would allow her to leave the facility for work assignments. Some work assignments for FPC Bryan inmates are at Texas A&M University which is just 6 miles away. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

ICYMI — @MarshaBlackburn, who hasn’t had a town hall since 2017 & refuses to debate as she runs for governor, just had a roundtable in Memphis with only certain media invited: “allowed to listen but not directly report”🤔 Q: Why would y’all even show up? What country is this?
They’re rewriting history.
Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.
Leavitt confirms that monthly jobs reports may be suspended "until they can get the data and methodology in order"
Translation: until they can cook the books to provide the alternate "facts" that benefit them.
Whoa! Only 15% say they’re better off financially. CBS News Analysis: Six months in, Trump’s approval among young people has cratered.
Does that 🍊 🤡not know that oil companies receive $20 BILLION per year in subsidies?
From the perfect bigly brain of the fucked up felon clown show president - "Windmills are killing us..., they are the most expensive form of energy..., wind doesn't work you need subsidy for wind and energy should not be subsidy, with energy you make money not lose money..."
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "We're trying to play by one set of rules. And these folks on the other side play by a completely different set of rules. So much so that the president United States called Greg Abbott and told him, in essence, find 5 additional seats so he can rig the election next year."
Never in US history has the DOJ been 'led' by two lawyers who were also criminal defense lawyers for the President.
Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just relaxed export restrictions on AI chip manufacturers AMD and Nvidia. Lutnick's family business empire holds a combined $1.1B stake in both companies. "Conflict of interest" is an understatement.
The room to testify against gerrymandering in Texas is full. This is how it looks outside. All these people want to testify but there isnt enough room/time. The people of Texas oppose gerrymandering.
Holy shit we’re legitimately at “some cancer screenings are too woke.”
RFK Jr. plans to fire all 16 members of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force calling them too “woke”. The panel sets free coverage rules for cancer screenings & more. A key meeting was quietly canceled.
More than 150 passengers on an American Airlines flight out of Denver International Airport were evacuated onto the runway after a "possible landing gear incident" left one person injured and sparked a fire, according to the FAA. Read more: cnn.it/4l2T3ef
Since the spring, federal agents have been patrolling government buildings in New York City, waiting to arrest migrants as soon as they step out of a courtroom, regardless of the status of their case.
Hey, decent humans of Texas. You’re getting a massive concentration camp. Get organized and fight back.
What I cannot fathom is why any court is allowing Alligator Auscwirz to exist. Inhumane detention facilities violate the 8th Amendment to the Constitution prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment.
So, as I suspected, the police response to the shootings of Democratic elected officials in Minnesota was actually a complete disaster www.startribune.com/new-details-...
Texas gerrymandering is about racism. Fewer districts for Black and Brown communities. More power for white Texans. It’s voter suppression by design, and it fuels voter apathy by making people feel like their voices don’t matter. That’s the point.
Endless grift with a side of cruelty @jojofromjerz.bsky.social

Ghislaine Maxwell Attorney: We haven't spoken to the president or anybody about a pardon just yet. The president this morning said he had the power to do so and we hope he exercises that power in a right and just way.
This is what we need from our leaders. Bravery. Isaiah put his body on the line to call out Greg Abbott and Donald Trump’s illegal power grab. Dragged to the ground in our state capitol for demanding fair maps. That’s courage. We stand with @isaiahrmartin.bsky.social Keep your eye on this.

We’re spending a lot of time talking about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But don’t forget their victims. The survivors. Not all of them made it. At least two women connected to Epstein’s abuse have died by suicide. The real number may be higher. Jeffrey Epstein accuser, Maria Farmer, speaks out.

July 18: If we have a smart president, you're never going to let the dollar slide. If you have a dummy, that could happen. July 25: A weak dollar makes you a hell of a lot more money. It doesn't sound good, but you make a hell of a lot more money with a weaker dollar than with a strong dollar
Collins: Who is responsible for giving the president accurate information?Powell, was correcting him on live TV. “No, he wasn’t” Collins: So when he’s saying there’s a 3rd building, he’s wrong? “No”
This is what you voted for⁉️ Detainees treated like violent criminals. Moved from cage to cage at 3 a.m. and sleep-deprived. Only 3 minutes to eat. Bathrooms three times a week. No towel to dry off after a shower and growing fungus on their bodies. Listen to this once. Then listen to it again.

NEW: Nathan Albers once co-owned a company that schemed to hire and conceal undocumented workers. Now his company could make hundreds of millions from work on the nation's largest detention camp. “The irony is thick,” said a former DHS official.

Donald Trump will go to the ends of the Earth to make life easier for billionaire CEOs but doesn’t lose a night of sleep screwing over people with student debt.
The United Nations’ highest judicial body ruled that nations must prevent environmental harm and limit greenhouse gas emissions. The nonbinding decision pressures countries to fulfill climate pledges and opens doors for global climate cases.

Over 140 employees at the National Science Foundation have taken the rare step of signing a letter warning the Trump admin is gutting the agency, slashing budgets, firing staff, and sabotaging science from within. All but one name is redacted out of fear of retaliation.
