#BREAKING: NYC Mayor Mamdani: “People often ask me what I think of the state of the Democratic Party? This slate here today is our answer. The Democratic Party must change. They tend to follow that question with another. Who do you want to run in 2028? Then they ask, when does the race for 2028 begin? It starts now. It starts on Tuesday. It starts when we reject a politics that believes in polls more than principles. It starts when we realize that politics, one that waits for political convenience, will never feel the urgency to address the people’s inconvenience.” ✊✊

I’m proud to endorse .@DarializaforNY for Congress. The daughter of a single mom and case worker, Darializa has dedicated her life to fighting for people too often left behind by government. She’s helped free neighbors wrongfully detained by ICE and has long believed in a politics rooted in affordability, dignity, and community. Her campaign is powered by working people ready to reject a politics of big money and demand something better. Let's go win this.

@BeckyLTuch My experience is that genre mags pay but very few pay pro rates. But a non-paying mag shamed out of existence? There's a tight-knit community and orgs like the Short Mystery Fiction Society watching the market, but most writers are shameless and desperate to get pubbed at all.

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

"60 Minutes" legend Steve Kroft says the news program has become "disastrous" under CBS News boss Bari Weiss.

“It’s the highest rated news program on television, and it has been that way for more than 50 years. The audience was up about 9% last year. Why would you mess with that?" he asks in an interview that's airing after Scott Pelley and other journalists were fired from the show.

Jennifer Welch: “Boycott every fucking thing on CBS News. From the morning all the way through to the evening. These are the same people that fired Stephen Colbert because Trump got his feelings hurt by a comedian. These people are the biggest bunch of pussies that masquerade with these grandstanding letters like they’re such badasses. These people don’t care about the truth, they don’t care about journalism, they don’t care about the Constitution, they don’t care about a free press. It’s just absolutely devastating what these oligarchs have done to our country”

I just talked to this Epstein survivor, Marina Lacerda. I asked her who she was referring to when she told CNN that Pam Bondi is protecting someone.

Her answer: “Of course she is protecting Trump. Trump is all over those fucking files along with all of his friends.”

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: A manager at a local diner asked ICE agents for a warrant before they searched a private areas of the business… and their response… slamming him to the ground, and putting a knee in his back, leaving him injured.

Because apparently exercising your constitutional rights is now being treated like obstruction.

According to witnesses, ICE agents were chasing someone who ran into the restaurant after a traffic stop. The manager reportedly told them they could not just storm through the kitchen without judicial authorization.

Because the Fourth Amendment is still a thing… even though ICE agents keep pretending it isn’t.

Law enforcement cannot just search private areas of a business because they feel like it. A kitchen, in a restaurant, is not a public space.

When agents do not have consent, exigent circumstances, or a valid warrant signed by a judge… then managers have every right to question that search.

That is literally how constitutional protections work.

And the fact that the manager was injured, after asserting those rights, should outrage everyone.

Rights either apply to everyone… or they are not rights at all.

Returning to snail-mail submissions could cut down on AI-generated work. It could also eliminate the justification for submission fees.
