Lawrence O’Donnell: “All of us owe our gratitude to Anthony Fauci and many of us may owe our lives to Anthony Fauci. Anthony Fauci owes nothing to Republicans in the US Senate. Sometimes news stories come down to a very simple right and wrong and this is one of them. Anthony Fauci is right and every one of those Republican Senators is very, very wrong”
Republican Senator Bernie Moreno's daughter, Emily Moreno, has just filed a restraining order against Republican Congressman Max Miller after she accused him of domestic abuse against her and their 2-year-old daughter.
Neither Bernie Moreno nor any other Republican has spoken out against Max Miller's allegations of abuse.
June 29th: One of the largest diamond exporting corporations in the world gifts Trump an 18-karat gold ring, featuring 321 diamonds that spelled out "T," "45," and "47."
July 24th: The Trump administration inexplicably exempts diamonds from its latest round of global tariffs.
The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism?
AOC: I mean, no. I think that’s very silly. We can’t even raise the minimum wage. Do they really think communism is going to happen? No. They’re trying to scare people because they don’t want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care.
So they want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, they’re going to realize they deserve better and that health care as a right isn’t crazy. They want to call this stuff communist because they don’t want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care. They want to call it communist because they don’t want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada—everybody else—has it better than us, and we spend the most money for the worst care in the developed world.
NEWS: WV GOP Assistant Majority Leader Elliott Pritt has been arrested and charged with enticing a minor after allegedly grooming a 15-year-old through Roblox and Snapchat, then having her meet him in his classroom.
GOP leadership won't call for his resignation.
Zohran Mamdani: “A lot of what we’ve come to accept as the facts of life across our country is driven by democratic socialist principles. If today you and I were to introduce the idea of a building that lends out books for free, we would be slandered in the same way that so many new ideas are slandered today and yet that’s the library. And the same thing with the fire department and the same thing with public schools”
Congressman out of Texas here. Running down @GregAbbott_TX’s rap sheet with Black Texans for those who aren’t familiar:
•Signed a mail ballot law that got Black voters rejected at far higher rates than white voters
•Pushed a voter ID law struck down as racially discriminatory by one of the most conservative appeals courts in the country
•Redrew our congressional map and eliminated a Black district in Houston
•Ended race conscious hiring at state agencies and universities
•Appointed the guy who killed the state’s minority owned business certification program
•Refuses to expand Medicaid, leaving over a million low income Texans, mostly Black and Hispanic, without health insurance
•Banned schools from teaching about institutional racism
•Pardoned a bigot who murdered a Black activist, but wouldn’t give George Floyd a posthumous pardon even after his own Parole Board recommended it
•Left TX-18, a historically Black district, without a voice in Congress for nearly a year
•Sued by the NAACP over voting restrictions again and again.
.@GregAbbott_TX - That’s your record. You don’t get to speak for Black Texans. We all know you couldn’t care less about us. And you actively harm our communities.
Sit this one out.

I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned.
We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt.
I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars.
And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence.
And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it.
The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen.
I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.
the air quality sucks, the food gives you explosive diarrhea, we have no public transport, medical care is unaffordable, they’re tearing down forests to build AI data centers and I still have to clock in for work
