You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.

Exactly. The president is going to spin some incredible lies about the 2020 election and the media -- and every single Democrat in the country -- has to be ready to smack this bullshit down immediately. Not a mealy-mouthed fact check or, golly, this is weird. Call it out as an assault on democracy.

When people say that there is a bias against conservatives in places like the Times that reflects their failure to understand that the Times (like many university spaces) lowers standards to represent right-wing views for purposes of intellectual diversity.

"He was bleeding profusely from the head ... He was talking. He said, ‘I tried to stop.'”" There needs be full and transparent investigation. There also has to be that A word - accountability. Mainers won't get accountability w/ Susan Collins as their Senator. www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/b...
Portland Press Herald screenshot

"Daniel Boucher was getting ready for work Monday morning when he heard what sounded like fireworks going off outside of his home near downtown Biddeford.

He rushed to the window, where he saw an SUV trying to ram a small white car in the intersection. Moments later, agents in vests stopped the car and pulled the driver out.

“He was bleeding profusely from the head,” Boucher said later Monday morning. “He was talking. He said, ‘I tried to stop.'”

Boucher watched in disbelief as the man’s legs stopped moving as he lay on the ground. He believes he watched him die."

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

BREAKING: Senator Mark Kelly sues Pete Hegseth, DOD, and others over Hegseth's censure of Kelly and effort to reduce his retirement grade, alleging violations of the First Amendment, due process, Speech & Debate Clause, and federal laws. Kelly is represented by Arnold & Porter.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
MARK KELLY, United States Senator representing the State of Arizona,
120 Constitution Ave NE, Suite 516
Washington, D.C. 20002
Plaintiff,
V.
PETE HEGSETH, in his official capacity as
Secretary of Defense,

Defendants.
Case No._
COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF9. If permitted to stand, the Secretary's censure and the grade-determination proceedings that he has directed will inflict immediate and irreparable harm. The censure, the
grade-reduction process, and its inevitable outcome impose official punishment for protected speech, chill legislative oversight, and threaten reductions in rank and pay. Each of these actions
also signals to retired service members and Members of Congress that criticism of the Executive's
use of the armed forces may be met with retaliation through military channels. The Constitution
does not leave such injuries to be remedied after the fact. Speech or Debate, First Amendment,
separation-of-powers, and due-process protections must be vindicated at the outset, before the
Senator is forced to submit to an unconstitutional and legally baseless proceeding.
Senator Kelly therefore brings this complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief.
Defendants' actions violate the First Amendment, the Speech or Debate Clause, the separation of powers, due process, 10 U.S.C. § 1370, and the Administrative Procedure Act.
11. In particular, Senator Kelly respectfully asks this Court to declare the censure letter, reopening determination, retirement grade determination proceedings, and related actions
unlawful and unconstitutional; to vacate those actions; to enjoin their enforcement; and to preserve
the status of a coequal Congress and an apolitical military.PRAYER FOR RELIEF
For these reasons, Plaintiff respectfully requests an order:
a) declaring Defendants' actions unlawful;
b) enjoining the enforcement of Defendants' actions;
c) vacating and setting aside Defendants' actions under 5 U.S.C. § 706;
d) staying the effective date of Defendants' actions under 5 U.S.C. § 705;
e) preliminarily and permanently enjoining Defendants, their agents, employees, appointees,
successors, and anyone acting in concert or participation with Defendants from
45
Case 1:26-cv-00081 Document 1 Filed 01/12/26 Page 46 of 46
implementing, maintaining, or giving effect to Defendants' actions, including the Secretary of Defense's determinations and threats of further criminal or administrative action;
f) awarding Plaintiff reasonable costs and attorney's fees in accordance with law, including
but not limited to 28 U.S.C. § 2412; and
g) issuing any and all other such relief as the Court deems just and proper.

reminder that Donald Trump said on the record that he partied with his buddy Jeffrey Epstein and women “on the younger side” and yet we’re pretending like the natural of their relationship is some big mystery
“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York magazine in 2002. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
