Iran War disaster. Knicks game loss. Hail at Mt. Rushmore on July 3. Sandstorm in DC on July 4. 4-1 World Cup loss. Trump is like a traveling pestilence.

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

NPR’s house style of straightforward headlines is such a refreshing alternative to the NYT’s constant equivocating and filtering everything through a “raises questions about” lens.

An agenda for Supreme Court reform: - 18 year term limits - Expand the court to 13 Justices - Binding ethics rules - Congressional limits on what the Court can rule on per act of legislation We need to change the composition of the Court, but also its role. The Court has far too much power.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Going independent has meant having the freedom to say that ICE is kidnapping people, to describe our government as authoritarian, and to say more directly when fascism is happening. I hope we'll start to see this more in large newsrooms before it's too late.

this thread is such a great example of this tendency. instead of just arguing against the thing you don't like ("I think we should be allowed to drive over the speed limit") making up a bunch of other objections that you don't actually believe but you think sound more sympathetic

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

The MAHA agenda isn’t about actual health, it’s about perceived moral purity. They don’t get sick because they’re better than you, and their wellness is a reflection of them living a Morally Correct life. Anything that contradicts that needs to go.

There’s an intense battle in NY over Proposal 1, which would enshrine abortion rights in our state constitution. And now a bunch of Trump donors have poured $8M last minute into the NO campaign. It’s critical that you and everyone you know in NY turn over your ballot and vote YES on Prop 1.

Key footnote
During oral argument, respondents undercut their argument by conceding that the terms of the Tolling Agreement have already been agreed upon, but that the only "discretion" being exercised was "that the Governor didn't want the contract finalized."
