This is how you dismantle hate: When an Islamophobe bigot targeted his faith and questioned his loyalty, Abdul El-Sayed delivered a masterful response — invoking John F. Kennedy's historic legacy to firmly declare where his true allegiance lies.
Some great data journalism here about the very real problems we face due to the climate change.
But why the hell is reporting like this relegated to the opinion section ?

We are watching, in real time, the biggest fuck-up by any president in the history of the United States of America.

OMGGGGG -- Clayton is reduced to sitting in silence instead of acknowledging Joe Biden won the 2020 election
OSSOFF: Who won the 2020 election?
CLAYTON: Uhm, you know, I'm not going to do this with you
OSSOFF: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee. Who won the 2020 election?
CLAYTON: I'm not gonna get into that with you
OSSOFF: You're not being honest or forthright
CLAYTON: ...

Psaki: Now, in order to put on this celebration, Trump is using $68 million of taxpayer money. At least some of that money is being paid to a company called Event Strategies Incorporated. It's run by a group of Trump allies. We don't know how responsible they are for the 68 million of your tax dollars going towards this event. But so far, that money has paid for a janky ferris wheel plagued by power outages, a couple of tents with chairs in them, a temu version of Trump's planned arch, which appears to be falling apart and seems like it's being held together with a slapdash sealant job and, of course, some bizarre entertainment, half of which seems to just be Trump officials sitting on stage, basically filling the time. So how much of that $68 million actually went to the state fair, and how much to Event Strategies Incorporated did they get to keep for themselves?
Apparently, CVS is celebrating Krampus in July. Did they let AI order for them? What is going on?
ALT Shelves full of Halloween themed candy at CVS. Snickers, Reese’s that look like pumpkins, and all the usual stuff. Why?
They haven’t even started on the Haitians and Syrians who are here on TPS.
10000 arrests in 5 days.
More than 63000 in ICE prisons & camps now.
If this hasn’t affected you yet, it will.

It’s working! 🗳️
My absentee ballot for the 8/4 primary has been received by my clerk. And it _will_ count.
You can track your stuff at mi.gov/vote too - find your clerk, find a dropbox, register, all that.
Pls vote so we all survive this fucking mess. ✊🏼🗳️
ALT Screenshot from mi.gov/vote showing that my absentee ballot for the August 4 primary was sent to me on 6/23 AND that they received my completed ballot back on 6/28. The system works!
When they tell you who they are, fucking listen.
Stephen Miller: Half of college graduates in New York City are either foreign born or come from immigrant households. We have completely changed New York City, New York is not the New York seen in movies or the one you visited as a kid, nor is Los Angeles.
Two of the most financially important capitals on the face of the Earth, their political future—their resources and dollars—are controlled in large measure by people that we just brought into this country who have no history or experience or faith or competence in any case in American democracy.

🎉 MAJOR WIN FOR VOTERS: USPS has been blocked from implementing Trump’s 2026 anti-voting executive order ahead of the midterm elections in 23 states and D.C.
Judge Indira Talwani found that major parts of Trump’s EO were “legally void” for exceeding the president’s power. bit.ly/4g75R4o
Sure, Don.
ALT Screenshot of Trump "Truth" from 6/24/26 where he yells in all caps "MY REAL POLL NUMBERS AE THE HIGHEST THEY HAVE EVER BEEN."
So now "donated to ACTBlue ten times" is evidence of criminal intent due to association with a "left-wing fundraising network." We better all hang together against this bullshit or we will certainly hang separately.
