Sen. Mark Warner: "It's a little strange that administration officials can release edited versions of videos that they like to brag about but then not show the immediate moments up to and including the second strike that took place on September 2."

📢 Mayor Pete Buttigieg is supporting Eileen Higgins for City of Miami Mayor and so should you. Eileen has fought for affordable housing, better transit, and safer neighborhoods. Please make a plan to vote by December 9th!

My time with @petebuttigieg.bsky.social reignited my hope for what’s possible when we fight unapologetically for progressive change.

I share Pete's belief that we must reject manufactured division, and focus on our communities’ shared needs. We’ve seen the power we have when we act together.

These days, it's notable whenever a major media company ignores Trump's pressure and stands with talent. So let's note that Disney has renewed Jimmy Kimmel's contract for another year

More proof that the Trump administration doesn't care if airlines abuse customers. But they'll yell at customers to dress nicer.

I miss Secretary Buttigieg, who looked out for passengers.

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.

An American president is pressuring politicians of his own party on social media by name, even after some of them have received threats and been swatted in the wake of prior Trump postings. This is what experts on political violence call "stochastic terrorism."

cool that the official position of the administration appears to be that black people don’t really count as americans
"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.
