POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

we gotta bring back Rick Mercer's Talking to Americans. i know it's inhumane but these animals only understand humiliation

A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell.

In any normal time this'd be quite the international incident, y'know?

www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...
Lallemand said he borrowed his friend’s boat and was fishing near Venise-en-Québec, which is roughly 15 kilometres north of the U.S. border at the northern tip of Lake Champlain. He says he has been fishing for decades and is adamant that he was in Canadian waters when the Coast Guard showed up and told him to turn off his engine, to which he complied. The three officers told him he was in U.S. territory. “I said, ‘No, I’m very sorry, I’m in Canada.’ And I said I’m polite enough to talk to you guys but you cannot arrest me. ‘You can’t come across the border and pick me up’ but they did,” he recalled. Lallemand started his engine and said he wanted to talk with the officers by the shore, but the Coast Guard followed and tried to push him into the U.S., which is what caused him to go overboard. “They’re tying my boat to their boat. They’re not even taking care of me. The third time I went down, coming out with water in my mouth, spitting it out, I said throw me a buoy,” he said. Once on their vessel, he said he was aggressively put in handcuffs. “I never saw somebody so angry,” he said. He was then handed over to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, who fingerprinted him, put him in a jail cell with his clothes soaking wet, and gave him a “dirty” blanket.

Revoking an artist's visa for their speech, no matter how controversial, doesn't make us safe.

The government should not be policing the artistic or political expression of citizens, visitors, or anyone else.

Senate Democrats are standing up right now for our constituents who will lose their health care, who will face rising energy costs, and who will lose access to SNAP benefits.

We have to do whatever we can to stop the “Big Beautiful Bill”.

the only thing keeping Trump v US from topping the list of worst Supreme Court decisions imo is that it hasn’t (yet) led to the dissolution of the United States washingtonmonthly.com/2025/06/27/i...

Several of my books have been banned and challenged. I've never seen them on banned books displays. Being banned has, if anything, decreased my sales. Worse, it sends a message to the queer kids I wrote the books for that their stories are shameful and something to be hidden away.

In a 6-3 vote on Trump v. CASA, the MAGA Supreme Court ruled to narrow the scope of nationwide injunctions, limiting lower courts’ ability to broadly protect us against Trump’s onslaught of illegal and unconstitutional actions. 🧵

This outrageous Supreme Court decision is another reminder that the courts won’t save us. Today’s ruling from the MAGA SCOTUS is all the more reason why Democrats in Congress must fight like hell to block Trump’s policies from being enacted and gum up the works as much as possible.
