How to respond to Trump's lies about a "crime wave" https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-respond-to-trumps-lies-about
By honoring Ashli Babbitt the Air Force honors her cause. Her cause was insurrection. Insurrection brought about by Trump's lying sedition. This is what the Air Force honors.👇
A small price for them to pay to bring about fascism.
Russia launched hundreds of drones and missiles at Ukraine overnight, Ukrainian officials said. The attacks came after European leaders met with President Trump to try to find a path toward peace.
He's really destroying the ADL and everything good it has stood for. Time for him to go.
Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it frighteningly surreal that the terrible atrocities, injustices and war crimes of faraway lands that we studied in history books when we were kids are now being committed, promoted and even celebrated by our own U.S. government, on a daily basis?
Like you I've seen all the pics people post here abt the steady increase of tacky gold crap he keeps adding to the oval office. But somehow it wasn't until I saw this picture that it just hit me. What the actual fuck. Like a Vegas whorehouse.
43 cities in the states sending troops to Washington, D.C., have higher rates of violent crime than the capital does. #NationalGuard open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
“Emergency” is a word w/meaning that should be justified by facts. FBI data suggests that Memphis, Cleveland,Toledo & Little Rock have higher crime rates. The media would do well to interrogate the basis for the exercise of emergency powers rather than “residents say crime really is bad” stories.
Qatar said to have paid Israeli officials, including Netanyahu aides, total of $10 million https://www.timesofisrael.com/qatar-said-to-have-paid-israeli-officials-including-netanyahu-aides-total-of-10-million/
FOX REPORTER: “The way it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say, got his photo next to the president, then left.”

I grew up in the Bronx. Didn't meet a Republican until I went to college. (The downside of that was confidence McGovern would win in a landslide!)
I was back on NewsNation last night reminding them that you're more likely to be murdered in Alabama than in California. Where's the Republican outcry about that? How would they feel if a Democratic president sent the National Guard into Alabama to deal with its crime problem?
Trump’s administration spent $560,000 on new trucks and wraps for an ICE hype video

The Trump administration announced that it will launch a comprehensive review of both current and upcoming Smithsonian Institution exhibitions, examining display text, online materials, and social media posts “to evaluate tone, historical context, and adherence to American ideals.”
This statement is so true it literally makes me sick to my stomach! 🤬
Koh: If he were serious about cutting crime he wouldn't be proposing cutting $400 million from the ATF or cutting $500 million from the FBI, 700 agents or the DEA with with drug enforcement or the office of violence against women, 100 million from there

Vicious triple murderer from Spain, jailed in Venezuela, released by Trump into the US in that CECOT/Venezuela prisoner swap. And he's got the gall to worry about D.C. crime? Covered tonight on @maddow.msnbc.com www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/w...
A letter from God to JD Vance.
Genuinely incredible that she's saying this with 2 accused rapists on either side of her
Washington, DC is so lawless, just the other day I saw a pedophile, rapist, white collar criminal wandering around on the roof of the White House. Get him, National Guard!
Every news broadcast should run the facts split-screen in real time while Trump spews his lies. Nice work, @msnbc.com — every network had time to prepare because they knew what was coming.
So, no national guard on January 6th, but definitely on August 11th. Makes total sense.
@freedcproject.bsky.social is holding a rally to protest Trump’s plans to take federal control of the police department. If you’re in the area and able to join, please do! Follow them on Bluesky to stay updated on future events.
FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating: *foreign spies stealing gov’t and trade secrets *foreign and domestic terrorist threats *crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others) Do you feel safer?
Someone forgot to take down this webpage: www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...
The amazing thing about brave people speaking out is that it inspires others to do the same by creating a permission structure. Since I published this article 4 hours ago, I've heard from multiple sources confirming what's in it. www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

"Not only did over 77 million Americans choose to let Trump retake the levers of power, nearly every Republican senator rubber-stamped Trump’s sociopathic selections for key leadership positions." Can we fix this broken reality? www.americaamerica.news/p/can-we-sto...
The fact that the immigrants we've grievously mistreated are still gracious and hopeful should make us even more ashamed.
Is the facility compliant with local fire code? Asking for a friend....
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, voted for cuts to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but he’s also routed more than 800 of his constituents’ complaints to the agency — the most of any current lawmaker from either party, ProPublica found. By @joeljacobs.bsky.social
Oh, JD’s just practicing for when he gets handed the big job.
Nice, but that's not news!

NEW: Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating police officers on Jan. 6, 2021, and yelling "kill 'em" as rioters attacked law enforcement. He’s now working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice.
We have a consolidating DICTATORSHIP in our country
Assault on Sudan’s Zamzam refugee camp may have killed more than 1,500 civilians

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell
All true. But why are so many still following and adoring him? That's the real problem. And they won't be gone once he is.
So glad he's my governor in these times!

Let’s get something straight first about the Fed.
Which would increase unemployment! 😅
"Nazi It Coming" for $800, please
I am baffled by the Washington Post's sanitized framing of this story. The Supreme Court is clearly going to "rule on the law" -- that is what courts do! The news is that SCOTUS signaled that it might gut the VRA entirely. Compare WaPo and Democracy Docket's headlines. Which source do you trust?
What kind of asshole still supports a politician after it becomes glaringly obvious they’re a pedophile?
BREAKING: A Texas House committee voted on Saturday to advance a heavily gerrymandered congressional map aimed at adding five new Republican districts. A first vote by the full Texas House could come as early as Monday or Tuesday.
When you deploy the military against protesters, disregard court orders, attack press freedom by threatening media licenses and suing outlets, and fire people for telling the truth... ...it's no longer just a meme.
Confabulation thehill.com/opinion/camp...
Yup. $1,000,000,000 x 0.04 / 365 = $109,589, just in interest (not counting additional compounding). They could give away $100k a day and never deplete the principal.
Following public backlash, the military is reversing its decision to halt the distribution of critical weather forecast data. The Navy’s Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center confirmed it will continue to release information from the

As I predicted for months, all the attacks on Jerome Powell were part of a premeditated plan for Trump and Republicans to blame him if the economy went south because of their policies. When have they EVER taken responsibility for anything?
JOB LOSSES—Worst monthly payroll drop off (layoffs) in recorded U.S. history since 1979… with exception of April 2020 (when that pesky virus “would just disappear”). ➡️Worse than even 2008 recession!

What Happens To The Women ICE Detains? www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-de...
ICE agents are being promoted for performative terror. “Officers who break glass aren’t being disciplined — they’re being promoted. The official from Maryland, Matthew Elliston, now occupies a senior position at headquarters and oversees field operations on the East Coast.”
what I saw at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan this week was families with kids forced to walk through a gauntlet of masked and armed federal agents apprehending migrants the second they walk out of immigration court — left to wonder if they might be separated in the hallway next.
I don't want Democrats who return us to the status quo. I want Democrats who destroy MAGA, undo the harm, and make it structurally impossible to repeat this disaster.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the world:
Trump is eliminating Direct File — the IRS program that let you file your taxes completely for free. Why? So his billionaire buddies who run tax prep companies can keep taking your money. news.bloombergtax.com/daily-tax-re...
Hey no big deal and all but... Senate Republicans just confirmed Joe Kent, a conspiracy theorist with alarming ties to white nationalists and far-right groups, to lead the National Counterterrorism Center. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
Rep. Dan Goldman: "Virginia Giuffre was a victim — a minor victim — of Jeffrey Epstein's horrific child sex trafficking ring. If Jeffrey Epstein stole her from the Mar-a-Lago spa...it begs the question how much did Trump know about Jeffrey Epstein and how much was he involved."
Rep. Justin Jones was blocked from a state event that he had every right to attend on behalf of his district. This is what fascism and oligarchy will look like across America if the Trump regime isn’t stopped—a white supremacist organization collaborating with billionaires to do whatever they want.
Amid a $734 million budget deficit and with a little less than a month before it needs to be filled, Chicago Public Schools announced reduced services for the 2025-26 school year, including hot meals for students and custodial operations.
If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️
BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it. The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning. Let's break it down. 🧵
And this from the guy who said (probably correctly) that he could shoot a man on the street in NY and get away with it. Yet this coming out is what scares him.
Totally not a cult.
Ban big money and stock trading by members of Congress. Pass a public option. Build and maintain affordable housing. Fund public schools and invest in high-speed rail.
If you think Trump’s approval is collapsing now, just wait until Medicare premiums start rising next year because of his cuts. They’re slashing spending on Medicare Part D by about 40% next year. A lot of seniors are going to get crushed.
Trump and his pedo defenders have completely ignored the survivors - going all the way back to the Alex Acosta non-prosecution agreement (they violated the law by not informing the survivors), to the motions for grand jury materials, to the meeting with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.
On March 15, President Donald Trump’s administration sent more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants to a prison in El Salvador. Last week, the men were released as suddenly as they’d been taken away. Now, their stories will begin to be told. Starting here 👇
What's in the Epstein files is apparently so bad for Trump that he's now going full "looking for the real killer" and about to pardon the only living person who actually helped run Jeff's teenage girl wurlitzer. Worth noting GM not only procured but also sexually abused the girls herself.
I just KNOW the plan is to have Maxwell exonerate Trump while pointing blame at Clinton & anyone else Trumplethinskin can bring vengeance against & then declaring case closed & giving her a get outta jail fee card I just hope everyone is prepared to create a 💩storm when that happens
Donald Trump wants to pardon a child rapist to protect himself from his exposure to another child rapist. Say it loudly.
Worth a read
Let me guess: They'll get a(nother) year or two of useless identity monitoring.
do I have this right? innocent immigrants are being sent to rot in a slave-labor gulag in El Salvador, because fuck you, that's why, while a convicted child sex trafficker with ties to Dear Leader is being considered for a pardon because she's been "treated so unfairly"? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
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-...
