The "far right": "Jews will not replace us." The "far left": "Everyone deserves health care." Centrists: "These, to me, are the same."

"The goal is something more modest, and it’s to replace what is an unfair, inadequate, and inefficient status quo with a method that gets some transitional assistance and compensation to exonerees so that they can have a chance to rebuild their lives.”" horizonmass.news/2025/07/02/ain…

Senate Rs have shown that they will defund anything as soon as Trump asks. All appropriations bills are thus fraudulent. Yet *only 6* Senate Dems voted against advancing the fake military construction & VA approps bill: Markey Murphy Padilla Schiff Sanders Warren

12 Democrats just voted to confirm Trump's Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security: Baldwin Coons Fetterman Hassan Kaine Kelly King Reed Rosen Shaheen Warner Warnock

Then why did you vote to advance the nomination today, Susan?

3) Ramos's Cuomo endorsement didn't help much, Mamdani received 13% of the transfers to Cuomo's 16%. 29% of Ramos transfers where exhausted. 4) Lander(!) was the largest beneficiary when Adams was eliminated, getting 31% of the transfers.

2) DREAM worked, when Lander was eliminated in round 11, more votes were exhausted than transferred to Cuomo. Mamdani received 56% of Lander's transfers, 23% were exhausted, and 21% went to Cuomo.

🧵 The data you have all been waiting for! The NYC mayoral primary WITHOUT batch elimination (and some early analysis) 1) Zohran's first round (469,642) would have been enough to win against Cuomo's final round (443,229)

Meiselas: An old interview with someone who attended a Donald Trump party in the early 1990s has emerged. One of Donald Trump's celebrity friends at that time, Uncle Luke of 2 Live Crew...during this interview, he talks about how in the early 1990s, he was at Donald Trump's house…

The White House is planning to send over a second rescissions package to Capitol Hill — this time targeting the Department of Education. GOP leaders say discussions with the administration on when and how big it is are well underway. politico.com/news/2025/07/2…

The expansion of detention, like so many GOP policies, is racism in service of greed. So many morally bankrupt people will make so much money off the public purse for torturing others. And the politicians will say no money for health care. miamiherald.com/news/local/imm…

Immigration detention is enormously expensive. This is just the cost for contractors to run the Everglades detention camp, so when you factor in direct state expenditures the cost is even higher: at $450 million a year for 3,000 beds, daily costs are more like $410 a day.

NEW: "Each bed at the detention camp is expected to cost $245 a day — roughly the price of one night this week at the Intercontinental Miami hotel." Right now, Florida taxpayers are footing the bill. miamiherald.com/news/local/imm…

NEW: We uncovered multiple photos of Jeffrey Epstein at Donald Trump‘s wedding. Photos of the pair together earlier that year at an event. And video of Epstein and Trump at the 1999 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. cnn.com/2025/07/22/pol…

Trump's NLRB picks are anti-union. A reminder that this new pro-working-class GOP that so many pundits liked to pretend was a thing never was and never will be. prospect.org/blogs-and-news…

I told @politico Nat Sec Daily: “The United States clearly is the one country that could very quickly make a difference if it chose to” in Gaza. Biden chose not to. Trump is choosing not to. As children starve before our eyes. politico.com/newsletters/na…

50-48: Senate voted to begin debate on President Trump’s nomination of his former defense attorney Emil Bove to a lifetime appointment on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Murkowski (R-AK) voted No with all Democrats. Rs McConnell and Mullin did not vote. Thune then filed…

Shame on every Democrat who voted for this bill and enabled this overt corruption.
