This picture was taken in June 2024. 10 months into a genocide, and 3 months after Biden condemned the ICC for investigating Bibi.

4 months later, the ICC would issue a warrant for his arrest for crimes against humanity.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…

* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M

So YES this has been a huge success.

When an Omaha mother discovered high levels of lead in her son’s blood, she looked up EPA soil tests and discovered potentially harmful levels of the metal in her yard.

City officials said her home didn’t qualify for a government-funded cleanup.

With @flatwaterfreep.bsky.social
The EPA Was Considering a Massive Lead Cleanup in Omaha. Then Trump Shifted Guidance.
The Trump administration says it will speed cleanups, but residents of the largest residential lead Superfund site worry fewer properties will be remediated.

So, MAGA friends, you elected Trump to what? Bring down prices? Create jobs? End oil wars and foreign adventures? Raise our standing in the world? Kick you off healthcare? Arrest your neighbors? Steal from the US government? Build a ballroom? Nice job. Super duper smart. Definitely not deplorable.

here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”

Streets in the Ukrainian city of Kherson covered with nets to protect against Russian drones.

If Russia is not stopped, this could become a reality for many cities - and not only in Ukraine.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

No, no, no, by bailing Trump out, Senate Democrats won the major victory of a pinky promise to hold a meaningless vote on the ACA subsidies which -- hang on now, this is the good part -- will *shame* Republicans when they vote against it.

Wait, Dick Durbin has some charts that'll blow you away.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

Rick Scott was CEO of a large, for-profit healthcare company called HCA. While Rick Scott was CEO, HCA stole so much money from Medicare they were fined $1.7 Billion.
Rick Scott told me his plan would be to take all of the remaining ACA subsidies and redistribute them to HSA accounts and people can then buy whatever insurance a state certifies. Basically a repeal/replace.
He denied when I asked wouldn’t that create two-tiered system where sick pay much more…
