James Talarico @jamestalarico.bsky.social is simply 1 of the greatest, most inspirational candidates to emerge in years, running against Ken Paxton, one of the most disgracefully corrupt politicians of all-time. So the Texas GOP responds by doing what comes naturally to them, of course: CHEATING! 🤮

Today, on the 250th anniversary of America’s independence, I'm thinking of the words of Maryland's own Thurgood Marshall, “This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on." For 250 years, Americans have answered that call & at this pivotal moment, I know we will again.

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Because the service had been arranged last minute, the funeral home on a busy street in Atlanta could only offer them one hour.
Orlin wore a long-sleeved shirt and a tan vest with a striped bow tie and matching pants.
The clothes concealed his injuries. A new teddy bear was tucked beside him.
Embroidered into the satin lining of his casket was "Principito," or "Little Prince."
His full name was embossed on the coffin:
Orlin Josue Hernandez Reyes.
McCaffrey and Hernandez's sister had to hold Hernandez up as she walked trembling toward her son. Once she regained the strength to stand, she stood over him and stroked his face and chest.
"I never wanted to leave you," she whispered repeatedly. "I wanted to bring you with me.
My son."

As reported by CBS News' Michael Kaplan, while at Walter Reed hospital, Trump had the chance to visit with 14 U.S. soldiers wounded in his war of choice against Iran. Unsurprisingly, the coward snubbed EVERY SINGLE SOLDIER. He didn't have the guts to look them in the eyes.

I still remember Swalwell bringing his baby named Cricket onto the House floor - but when he implied his having affairs was between him and his wife - a non-starter, Congressman. You were too good to be true.

I read a couple unconfirmed reports that Ireland and Wales have announced they are boycotting the 2026 World Cup, and German officials have begun discussions to do so as well. Obviously, Iran is boycotting it but my question is why any other country would want to attend World Cup matches in the U.S.

Joe Kent, Trump’s Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, resigned this morning stating: ““Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation.” Kent is a former Army Ranger and no liberal. The recklessness and foolishness of this war is recognized across the political spectrum.

She buried children’s names in jars so their families could find them after the war. During World War II, Irena Sendler saved 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto and never revealed a single name. Even under torture. True courage. #SheShed #Voices4Victory #WomensHistoryMonth

SEVEN. That’s how many strikes hit near the Iranian girls’ school. Video shows a tomahawk missile hitting a building next to the school. The kind of “precision” you get when an incompetent administration runs a war on outdated intelligence. Don’t look away —we should all see the deadly destruction
