Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."
New: Prison guards discussed cover-up in Epstein's death, inmate tells FBI. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...
BREAKING: Judge rules Kari Lake's appointment was ILLEGAL for many months & a bunch of her actions are void
We & great partners win again!
H/t to my @democracydefendersfund.org colleagues plus AFSCME, AFGE, Emery Celli, Democracy Forward & more. Wow, just wow.
So Russia is helping Iran target American troops. Ukraine is offering drone defense.
Guess who Trump NEVER ONCE has EVER criticized?
Correct. Russia
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.
Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday
NEW: An inmate overheard guards talking about covering up Epstein’s death. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...
"We have to pull out the most powerful arsenal in defense of our democracy that we have, and that's impeachment and removal. And we can't wait."
The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces. Not surprising. What IS surprising? Our response: easing oil sanctions on Russia.

When a government goes after a company and threatens to burn it down because they won't let their product be used for nefarious reasons says something chilling about that government.🗽
People got real mad at Biden for looking at his watch during a dignified transfer.
Looking forward to the same outrage at Trump for wearing a fucking hat
This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.
Yes they do
Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.
(🎥 Vahid Online)
This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
A Distric Court judge has ruled that Kari Lake was not legally in charge of the US Agency for Global Media, and that actions she took while claiming to be in that role are also not legal, including her attempts to fire people
Donald Trump is in the Epstein files.
Pass it on.
