Zohran Mamdani is getting a new generation of young people excited about politics. My own granddaughter is knocking on doors for him in the final stretch of the NYC mayoral race. I was pleased to speak with him ahead of Tuesday's election. https://youtu.be/rqU0DAjg0RA?si=ZYVwyxSyA9xdR4bj

Sometimes it’s best not to respond and just leave things alone.

The SILENCE from George W. Bush right now is very telling.

He's always been an intellectual lightweight.

I'm just surprised at what a COWARD he is and how he obviously doesn't care about the country he supposedly led for 8 years.

ICE has beaten, detained & arrested 170 citizens, at least 3 of whom were pregnant

George Retes is a US veteran who was held in solitary for 3 days

Kristi Noem says it’s not happening, but @motherjones.com has done the reporting

If they treat citizens this way, imagine what they do to immigrants

my high school teacher mom is individually raising money to help cover the expense for the kids who are losing SNAP coverage at her school and members of Congress make roughly 2-4 times the income of the average high school teacher in America

Trump: I think we’re just gonna kill people. Okay?

Your periodic reminder that Jonathan Turley is Mike Lindell with tenure.

This is the same sort of bullshit that lead to us giving out inefficient, restrictive vouchers instead of money in the first place. Doesn't seem to have stopped them from making up shit.

Politicians like Zohran Mamdani get out there and mingle with the people they want to vote for them. These politicians are more in touch with voters and their concerns.

Self-important, unstable Nancy Mace, on the other hand, uses cops to keep voters at a distance when she goes through an airport.

Back in June, I wrote about the news media’s weasel wording, such as saying Trump is “bending the military’s role” and “flirting with lawless defiance of court orders.” Yes, “flirting.” You can subscribe for free to my Stop the Presses newsletter. 🧵 2/3

The New York Times likes to say Trump "has stretched the limits of his powers” and “tests the boundaries of the presidency.” But this is not a test or a stretching exercise. He’s a lawless politician building a dictatorship. Say it. 🧵 1/3

Matthew Lillard from the "Scream" screening at Hollywood Forever:

“Fuck ICE! In this time, in this city, we need to lead with love. Do not forget that shit in this moment. Not to be political, but to be political as shit. Second of all: vote Prop 50. And if you don’t like that, I’m so not sorry!”

What he said Part 2: 💯 🎯

Yes, Trump’s cruelty IS staggering.

Wow. Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just made a stunning admission on live TV.

Bessent: "I think that there are sectors of the economy that are in recession"

Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.

End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

Project 2025 calls for the removal of kids from poor single parent households to be placed with “proper” parents.

With SNAP being cut, the judgement on low income families is only increasing.

Meanwhile 1,790 kids went missing from Georgia foster care. Many of them were likely sex trafficked

Karoline Leavitt is a consummate sychophantic liar for hire.
In more vulgar terms...a whore for $.

Remarkable how an individual can stand there and boldly lie so egregiously to the American people and world.

How incredibly evil and without conscience do you have to be to do this? They will literally starve low income people, including children and seniors to get what they want.

There is some good news on the voting front today and it’s important news. It shows us that the courts can still lead, and the rule of law is not broken. No matter what Trump wants you to think. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Sooner or later, someone is going to respond to one of these ICE goons by returning the violence and it's not going to end well -- not for the goon, not for the victim, not for any of us.
