I want the @democrats.org to skip SOU & instead display in seats infograph posters refuting topics Trump is likely to lie about. Factcheck in advance: Immigration., Econ., Mil, Epstein, etc. A bold show of dissent like this by House Dems & Senators will diminish the demagoguery & empower truth.

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...
When you’re offended by “love is more powerful than hate.”

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
To protect our digital rights, we need the rule of law. When an armed agent of the government breaks the law, the civilian they injure must be made whole. This includes money damages to compensate them for their injury. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.
All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

Redistricting did not turn out how Trump wanted. So, now he is resorting to political prosecutions, ballot seizures and the threat of federal paramilitary to steal the 2026 midterms. He is normalizing the idea that his administration will take over ballot counting. We cannot let that happen.
To put it another way: the images of warfare against US citizens in Minnesota reframed the issue of immigration and showed the tragic consequences of the dominant "invasion" frame. The frame wars are ongoing. Frame Warfare: The Invisible Propaganda War

Speaking as a physician, I'm saying the only way that ICE agent could've suffered internal bleeding after shooting Renée Good dead is if he was bleeding from his esophagus or rectum due to prolonged alcohol abuse.
Or maybe he took some ibuprofen that made his stomach bleed.

Danish and Greenland ministers just left the White House. It did not go well.
I have a long discussion here of Trump's attempt to get Greenland and why it could lead to World War III.

"We can touch you anywhere at any time or our choosing" - or, as they put it during the election: "Your body, my choice."
"Ice is not about law enforcement. What we are witnessing is a Gestapo-style operation focused on spectacle and fear, coercion, intimidation, violence and abuse. This cannot stand. This must stop." Yes, I’m angry. My video:
Prices are "down" compared to what?
"We found a flash grenade with the pin still in left in the middle of a residential neighborhood by ICE or Customs and Border Protection agents," lawyers for Minnesota said.
But a judge wont yet issue a halt to the "federal invasion."

Laura Jedeed on applying for a job with ICE: "I expected them to Google me, and they didn't ... they sent me a final job offer ... what's disturbing is we don't know who is wearing these masks with guns in our city. We don't know if they have domestic violence convictions."
A group of Epstein survivors just formally demanded that the DOJ Inspector General open an investigation into how the heavily redacted Epstein files were released. They’re demanding action now to release the files and we stand with them.
Those are two different survey questions and not mutually exclusive.
Interesting.

The Republican lawyer Eric Neff, who recently took on a leading role in the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) push to obtain state voter records, briefly represented Patrick Byrne, the prominent election-conspiracy theorist who aided President Donald Trump’s effort to steal the 2020 election.
Ideology as aesthetics strikes again.
@drkath.bsky.social studied this very question and found that yes Times New Roman is perceived as more conservative and sans serif fonts as more liberal- (likely because they are seen as less traditional and more modern):

Travelers visiting the United States from countries like Britain, France, Germany and South Korea could soon have to undergo a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a proposal filed on Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The change would affect visitors eligible for the visa waiver program, which allows people from 42 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa as long as they first obtain electronic travel authorization. In a document filed on Tuesday in the Federal Register, C.B.P. said it plans to ask applicants for a long list of personal data including social media, email addresses from the last decade, and the names, birth dates, places of residence and birthplaces of parents, spouses, siblings and children. Under the current system, applicants from visa waiver countries must enroll in the Electronic System for Travel Authorization program. They pay $40 and submit an email address, home address, phone number and emergency contact information. The authorization is good for two years.
